Evaluating the Walking Dead

If you want to "boil it down" in the first season--Rick is stuck in a tank--yes a TANK! Why ride a horse when you have an M60 battle tank loaded with ammo and gas?

Later in season 1 when they reach the CDC- They are sneaking up to the CDC building and walk right past an M-60 machine gun with a belt of ammo hanging off of it- they also walk past a sand bag bunker with a M2 HB 50 cal on a tripod. With all the Army troops in Atlanta they didn't pick up a single M16 or a Hummv.

Either way----I like the show. I will watch it.
 
Love the show.

Also, they are walking around with poor improvised weapons as well.

So many great makeshift weapons at every hard ware store. Pick handles with a cut off pick (just the collar) would be perfect (as one who used pick handles for some of my throwing axes whittled down).

Swords, axes, etc.

AR's, AK's, 22's all kinds of great weapons. Literally millions and millions (hundreds of millions in the US).

The military weapons they kept walking past in the first episode. Full auto guns everywhere.

You better believe I would have checked that .50 cal on the tank he was in! Shoot, I would have taken gas back to fire that sucker up. A tank or bradley fighting vehicle would be zombie proof!.

Keep it gassed up, and you would not really even need the guns.
 
Awesome show. They should just be thankful that their dealing with "walkers" and not "runners." Fast zombies would have wiped them all out in short order.

I would imagine that much of the easily accessible ammo would have been expended within the first few days. Something like that comes at you and you give it all you have until you don't have anything. Then you die.

Apparently, even a modest amount of damage to the brain takes them out. A couple clunks with a baseball bat and they're down. I'm saying a baseball bat, or maybe a frying pan (play the Left for Dead 2 game too much) would be the weapon of choice.
 
What i wonder is why there are no animal walkers. What about dogs or deer or other animals that have got bitten but not died. Also they got stuck with all the Gerbers because Gerber ponied up the cash to partner with the show as far as i have heard.

I think they were looking for some more realistic marketing tool than Bear Gryllis. Zombies won.
 
Hi all,

It has been said killing zombies as quietly as possible is a good thing. The U.S. Government really tries to keep situations that involve zombie out breaks out of the news so it does not cause a panic.

That is where I come in.

I do not want to sound like I am bragging or anything :D.

But I am a Official Government Zombie killer.


Here is a few of my zombie killing tools that I use.

A excalibur eclipse XT recurve with a bipod
A Mission ballistic compound bow.

1/4" thick 7" slanted guard knife I made.

O Daryl Dixon, from the walking dead show has to put a flash light in his mouth and while searching for zombies in a dark area.
Tha is because he is not a real Zombie killer.
My Excalibur has a small flash light on the left side as seen in this pic

and it works great lol it is so bright it blinds the Zombies and they do not even get a chance to see the

arrow with a crazie brain scrambling tip comming at them.


The Mission compound bow is great for loading and firing arrows when I need to kill them zombies just a tad quicker.


That Excalibur with the fold down bipod is great for sniper type killing in wider, open spaces.

But for working the brush a Ten Point Turbo XLT only 13.5" wide really is great for in the woods.

The Ten Point is really a slick compound crossbow.

some of gear I use also with my zombie hunting.

This is the type of arrow tip I use for killing zombies

It really scrambles there brains.


Now I know the walking dead show has them survivors walking past great weapons like 50 Cals and other great
guns but remember it is just a TV show lol.


Well phone just rang and speak of the Devil, B.O. (I am sure glad I do not have that Dumb Asses Intials lol) is calling from the White House seems there is another Zombie out break and I have to go, so I will chat with you
all later.

silenced 10/22. My other idea is build a trap with chain link fence and a car crusher - just lure them in through funnel shaped fences right into a big shredder/masher.
 
LOL!! I love it Bryan! Nice archery goods there as well.

Yep- suppressed 10/22 and spend sunny afternoons on the rooftop. Monsters, beef jerky and 500 rounds of ammo.

Survivors! I need to tatoo that on my eyelids so I stop forgetting. Great little series- sucks they killed it.

Never seen zombies for real? Just wait until Black Friday- they show up every year.

Love the comic series and like/love the TV series. Season 2 was a bit meh as they were too stationary and the Shane/Lori/Rick conflict triangle thing dragged on and on and on. The comic series had the good sense to dispose of Shane early on. Season 3 is shaping up to be an improvement over season 2. Really this a quest/survival show, trying to find a place to call home,a place with some semblance of civilization and normality. If you want to be realistic about it Rick, after finding Lori and Carl, would have been better off leading the crew back to the small rural hometown he left in the beginning. They would have had the homefield advantage, they would know the local resources. They could have holed up in Ricks fairly well fortified police station and then fortified a section of town. Digging in instead of bugging out might have made more sense especially in a sparsely populated rural area.

IMO - Carol is fine and they are setting up the romance between her and hillbilly dude (forgot his name).

I do wonder if she found Lori and is nursing her (now that someone else suggested it)

Pretty sure Lori is dead, and then dead again after Carl shot her.

Rick come up on her 'blood smear', and then follows it to the 'biter' leaning against the wall. The 'biter's' belly is extending and has blood and hair around his mouth. This is to suggest that he 'ate' her. Rick hesitates and thinks about opening her up with his knife to look for 'her' (like they did to one of the 'biters' when the were looking for Sophia) but in his 'state', he just decides to shoot it and stab it multiple times.

They are called 'biters' and 'walkers' because the show is set in a world where there hasn't been any zombie literature or media of anykind, so they have no idea what is happening, and the word 'zombie' doesn't exist. (according to the graphic novel series creator).
 
My weapons of mass Zestruction consist of a pack of trained vultures, will called it the VAF (Vulture Air Force) and a pack of trained rats that will call.... you guess it right the Rat Patrol...!!!
My children will feast on zombie flesh wile I party with beautiful women and get drunk all day, only to make some runs to pharmacies to pick up blue pills. This is an absolutely realistic scenario because all the macho type guys would have been wiped from the earth and then and the supermodels would have to settle for me.


Sorry guys could not resit, good thin that my wife does not read this forum.... otherwise I would really be a walking dead.
 
Joe,
Most supermodels already act like they are brain dead. They would fit right in with the zombies..sorry "walkers".

I just saw a preview for World War Z- dang those are some fast zombies!

I hope Milla is available I want her and Michelle Rodriguez in my team.

:eek: :D You should write for the show. Why aren't land mines being used ? You wouldn't even have to bury them. Just lay out hundreds or thousands. Break out the beer and pop corn, watch them go pop all day long.
