You are surrounded by flesh eating ZOMBIES...

Although I love the idea of using combat grade shotguns, such as the Win 1897 and the Benelli Super 90, to blow apart attacking zombies, I must question their practicality for this application.

You have the extra weight of the shotgun, vs. the mere weight of a Glock 9mm, which is all that is necessary to stop these creatures (head shot). As someone else wisely noted, there would be a lot of wasted energy with the more powerful rounds, when a close range head shot would be all that was needed.

Also, wouldn't the shotguns be very difficult to reload, as opposed to pre-loaded mags for semi-auto handguns? I know they make tube loaders for shotguns, but wouldn't these be unweildy to carry?

Nonetheless, a good combat grade shotgun would probably come in handy at some point. Make mine a Rem 870 SS or a M3 Super 90. I would keep it in my fully loaded "combat" Ford van, along with a MacMillan .280 Rem rifle, a Barrett .50, a couple revolvers, an ATC Next Generation Ranger hawk, a high quality katana, and various axes, khukuris, machetes, and other tools of the trade.
 
Aren't Zombies "undead" - so using a sword or knife won't do the business... how about a BATTLE MACE or flail for Zombie CQB... some of the latest Cold Steel "medieval" stuff looks pretty good!
 
Hi Komondor,

I'd like a physical profile of the Zombies in question:D. Are they the stardard slow "old school" zombies(think "Night of The Living Dead"), or the newer hybird style of Zombie which is so popular in the movies today:).

Also are Clip-A-Zine's allowed:p:D?

Fun Topic :>).
 
If it is any kind of weapon I have to take a lightsaber, with my name what do you expect.:D

If they are weapons based in reality then my Basic 9 and an American Kensai by Busse.

P.S. If anyone wants to unload a real American Kensai drop me a line in the Busse Forum.

They are pretty slow-moving, Bob. Maybe not quite as slow as Romero's walking dead, but not anything hyper, either, like the modern genre of zombies.

Clip-a-zines are the only way to go. :)
 
Well I would think that higher caliber bullets can be useful.
Considering it's like some sort of resident evil problem, If you get surrounded, it's nice that the higher caliber bullets would really knock those guys around. Consider a 45 off the center of mass, the body spins. Hence it can have some kind of knockback effect, and keep some of the others at bay. Same goes for shotguns.
Also, since overpenetration is not a problem (considering that very few survives, and they're probably in trouble already, a shotgun with slugs can blow up more than one head if they're lined up (at least I'd hope).
I kinda like this theoretical topic ;)
 
H&K OICW, Benelli M3 Shorty, Glock 18, Busse Battle Mistress, Super Soaker with Holy Water.

OICW to reach out and touch 'em by the handful. Then head shots with the Benelli for those you know you can finish, leg shots for those you've got to slow down before you can finish 'em. Glock 18 and BM for when things get close and messy.

Super Soaker - depends on variety of the Zombie.
 
...a Swiss Army Knife (SAK) would just about do the trick...and that being an Officer's model of course...

Mel

Sewiously? It would have to be a .44 Mag lever gun, a .44 Mag wheel gun, and short barreled 12 Ga. loaded with #4 'high base' turkey loads...go with what works.

Why #4's you ask? Well, even 'world saviors' get hungry, and cooked up right, everything tastes like 'chicken'....even Zombies... ;)

--knife content-- MDK, 'Voodoo Child' of course...lol

In all the computer & console games I've played, (and I do play quite a bit) you had to inflict significant damage to the brain, or whatever's left in Zombie skull. If I am not mistaken, the Resident Evil movie (Mila was the best part of it, though the soundtracks were good too) mentioned spinal chord too.

I think 9mm wouldn't be suffice. Starting somewhere at .44 mag, and movign up .50 AE, .440 Cor-Bon, etc would be good choices. As usual
one has to shoot 3-4 9 mm rounds to kill the zombie, but .50 DE does the job with 1 shot.
Unconditionally, the primary armament will consist of 12 gauge shotgun, I guess automatic would be the best, but the pump action would do too.

In xbox megahit Halo for example, you'll find it very difficult to dispatch zombies(the flood) with a pistol or assault rifle. And 14.5mm sniper rifle doesn't affect them at all. However the supershotgun rips them apart in a single shot :)
 
1971 Chevy C-20 with a 350 4 bolt main, and a 3 speed stick, lotsa gas and a BM AFCK, along with a square bladed Ontario Spec Plus SP8-95 Machete, (which is basically a sharpened pry bar)Model 1911 .45
 
Why not combie all the benefits of high octane firepower, plus the water-based safety of being at sea, and just use a USN battle cruiser with tomahawks?
 
I'd take Britney Spears with me so she could sing those zombies to their pitiful death.:D
-----------------------

Hhhhmmm...let's see. There would probably be so many zombies that you'd run out of bullets quicker than you'd run out of targets. That's the unfortunate part.
The fortunate part is that a weapon has already been made specifically for this problem. It's called the Israeli UZI!!!
Very quick and very reliable.

Other weapons I'd choose are the Galil, S&W 640(357 mag.), H&K PSG1( cause I like good sniper rifles) and two 1911's(.45acp).

Also I'd want some good gear from London Bridge.

As for knives, probably the Busse Battle Mistress and a number of Striders and Mad Dogs(cause I like Kevin McClung, his knives and his great views on everything- especially on Europe and the Middle East).
 
I Think a large pesticide sprayer full of gas and a big box of strike anywhere matches would be fun... bring out the marshmallows.:D
 
Some folks call it a Slingblade, I call it a Kaiser Knife. And I'll take me some of them there Claymore mines, Miniguns and Daisycutters. Yep.
 
>"You are surrounded by flesh eating ZOMBIES... "

================================

I am!? :eek: Arrrrrgh! Run, everybody, run!
 
Louisville Slugger with a nail thru it, and a claymore mine strapped to my chest with "This side toward enemy".

"Heyyyyy battabattabatta Suh-WIIINNNNGGG Battaaaaahh!" "KABOOOOMM!!"

I'll go thru zombies like Godzilla thru downtown Tokyo.
