What's your Zombie Killin' equipment??? Pics only.

Maybe it is just me but I don't see much in the way of protective gear if the zombies do get close. I think I would have a nice riot helmet for starters, along with either a thick leather jacket to prevent bites or some sort of hard shelled arm pads, and probably some knee pads because you might have to kneel or might fall to your knees. Mainly stuff to keep you from getting hit in the head and passing out and from getting bit. Even if there are a load of zombies if they cannot bite you they cannot do a whole lot else to kill you quickly.

Heck maybe I would wear my motorcycle helmet as I definitely want something to protect my mouth and eyes and nose from zombie blood splatter.

Sorry I don't have any pictures though.

police style kevlar reinforced search gloves.

full sleeved chainmail shirt. (i've seen a full titanium mail hauberk that only weighed like 3 pounds.)

knee high "snake proof" hunting boots.

lheavy duty sport bike racing armor pants.

a chainmail coif for your head. you don't want to use a motorcycle helmet because your peripheral vision is too limited, the heat build up would get you during a good foot sprint, and your hearing is too limited. besides that the coif will protect your neck and throat unlike a helmet.
 
I think the chain would become to noisy. even trying to be quiet with just a shirt and that stuff with not stop rattling unless you go Asian and use plated chain. or better yet brigantine, leather top layer, steel plates beneath. much quieter and bites or clawing wont get through. Also Hauberk covers upper thighs in addition to the upper body.

So heres what i would try to suit up with if we're taking this into a more medieval theme.

Head/neck - skull cap with braided leather skirt, gorget

body/arms - brigantine, boiled leather vam braces, bracers, a good ole pair of lobster tail short gauntlets all with a thick silk shirt under neath (preferably scotch guarded)

waist/legs - Schola belt, jeans, Sh!t kickers and wed be good to go
 
I'm quite confident that my strategies (being that we have brains and zombies don't - how come they seem to be getting smarter hmm? :confused:) and razor sharp katana would make short work of pockets of zombies encountered.

Key is - don't be static and upon enountering pockets of roaming zombies - hold your position and let them pass. If you stumble head on into a group of zombies (this shouldn't happen but if..) then immediately bring one's katana (the ultimate slicer) into play, becoming a spinning cyclone of death. :D

I suspect that one would become rather tired after dispatching maybe 30-40 zombies so I am skeptical of how well edged weapons will really do in a large zombie situation.
 
The only Katana I'd trust my life to would be a Howard Clark L6 Bainite.

Look at him smash a metal work bench...but yes, in a long battle of any sort you would fatigue quickly.
 
I had a few edged weapons courses with James Williams, he’s by far one of the best instructors out there when it comes to military type blade combatives

Church&son handy work.


But I have always loved the tomahawk. Ever since I first watched the last of the Mohicans movie, I just fell in love with the weapon. And after I actually learned how to use id in a modern combat situation, I just can’t think of a better weapon to have as a back up to a primary firearm in a zombie outbreak.

I've conversed with him via email a few times in the early 2000's about JSA's and he is a very knowledgeable man, and a great guy all in all...I'd love to get taught a thing or two from him.

Friend drew it, I built it. First blade I made actually. named "The Menacer" :D

I'd also be wielding this one in a zombie attack

I carried one of his hissatsu fixed blades for a few years. He is truly a modern master.
 
I love the design of the hissatsu but the reports of varying quality had me concerned...how did you find it?

Well for what it was made for (people) it works fine. The problem most of us had with them is that they were not very good for anything ells. When you are out there in the field, and limited to what you have on you, you want a knife that can be used as a weapon and a tool. The hissatsu is all weapon.




As far as penetration on hard targets like body armor and heavy clothing, few blade designs preformed better.
 
Deal killer for me, like you i need that utilitarian feature....great design and I've seen videos of James demonstrating its ability but doesn't seem to be for me.

I live in Alaska which, as we all know, is the place of refuge for those escaping the Zombie apocalypse. I don't believe I'd leave my house, I'd board up the doors and set up a position in the window above the front door. In the summer I'd imagine we'd have to deal with the notorious tourist zombie but I imagine that since most of them are 70 + sudden and debilitating strokes will take care of them... makes sense to me. If not I'll stab them in the face after they go to sleep at 6pm... for that I'd use my Busse Killa Zilla, just because I could. If it was February, I'd wait until it was 50 below at night then head out and explode some Zombies Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat style! Summer time? No problem; I'll let the mosquitos do the dirty work ad take care of my undead adversaries. May have to consider Zombie mosquitos, in which case, everyone's boned. What ? Bug spray? You've never been to Alaska, that $#!^ is people marinade. The long days would make target acquisition in the light a snap. My preferred gun in this situation would be my BCM middy AR-15 with Eotech; you can carry boatloads of 5.56 and it's lethal, all you need is a had shot anyhow. I'd carry my Sig 226 in 9mm as a backup.

I doubt that unless the outbreak actually starts in Alaska we'd be bothered. The only caveat being that Canadians don't own guns so I don't imagine they'd but up much of a fight, especially French Canadians... Hockey players may be their saving grace, a truly vicious bunch. If hockey playing zombies invade, all helmeted and impervious to cold with a inborn taste for human blood and carnage, we may be screwed.

I'd also pack my balls, that's all John Wayne needed.

I Think I have the answer for the 1/3 wolf deal (percentage)

breed a purebred wolf and dog = 1/2 wolf 1/2 dog (50/50)

mix this offspring with another wolf = 3/4 wolf 1/4 dog (75/25)

mix this offspring with another dog = 2/5 wolf 3/5 dog (technically 37.5/62.5) but this is close enough to being 1/



if you breed two 1/2 wolves youll have another batch of 1/2 wolves

How could it go to fifths? Wouldn't it be sixths or eights?

These three tools would be my go-to's for zombie de-animation:

One for smashing zed skulls, one for chopping limbs, and one for pulling fillings (for the gold & silver :D)...

technically it goes into the tenths but I rounded down to the fifths.

basically it works like this

you take the two parents and divide all species by half so that 3/4 wolf is now 1/2 of 3/4 (I could do some fancy shmancy fraction math skills but ill stick to percentage to make it easy) So what is 1/2 of 75%? its 37.5% almost 40% out of 100 making it 4/10s or 2/5ths
