For Z-Day, primary/secondary weps.

I'd have to go with a .50 cal sniper rifle with any kind of long range scope. Begin that I have been told I'm like marksmanship with a rifle from all my military buddies. And for close range encounters I'd have to go with the AK-47 or M-16. It's really hard for me to choose between the two because they are both my favorite. And I've actually fired an M-16 and it was sweet. Although I live in New York so it's only semi-auto.

Hairspray and a lighter, which is probably not going to work like it does in video games. I honestly have nothing else besides some pansy kitchen knives. I'd probably die if Z-day came.

PERSONALLY SILLY FACTOR, ESPECIALLY WITH THE HELMET



GET CLIPS AND WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE, YOU WILL BE RELOADING FASTER THAN GORDAN FREEMAN IN HALF LIFE 2. GETTING AMMO FOR IT ISNT AS HARD AS YOU MAKE IT SEEM, ITS UNDOUBTEDLY EASIER TO GET THAN AMMO FOR SHIT LIKE THE AK. PERSONALLY, IF I WERE IN A ZOMBIE SITUATION (LOL), I WOULD USE A SEMI TOO MAN, IM JUST TRYING TO MAKE A FEW POINTS ABOUT THE REVOLVER BECAUSE IT SHOULDNT BE TOO QUICKLY DISMISSED



A SEMI SHOTGUN IS OVERKILL TBH, YOU ARE ALREADY GONNA GET A SHITLOAD OF STOPPING POWER WITH A PUMP SHOTTY. PUMPING A SHOTGUN DOES NOT TAKE LONG. I CAN ARGUE THAT ANY SITUATION IN YOU GET IF INVOLVING ZOMBIES (LOL), YOU ARE GONNA DO THE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AMOUNT OF DAMAGE SEMI OR PUMP. HELL, A GUY WITH A PUMP MAY DO BETTER BECAUSE OF FORCED TRIGGER DISCIPLINE.

BUY IN ALL HONESTY, USE OF ANY SHOTGUN THAT DOES NOT HAVE A REMOVABLE MAGAZINE IS A BITCH TO WORK OUT. LOADING SHELLS INTO A SHOTGUN IRL TAKES ABOUT 10 TIMES AS LONG AS IT DOES IN A VIDEO GAME. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STORE MANY SHELLS ON THE BODY WHICH ARE READY TO BE "QUICKLY" RELOADED (IE, NOT IN A POCKET OR IN YOUR BACKPACK OR SOME SHIT).

THIS GOES BACK TO THE POINT WITH THE SEMI AUTO SHOTTY. SURE YOU CAN SHOOT MORE AND TEMPORARY HAVE MORE FIREPOWER THAN COMPARED TO A PUMP, BUT YOU ARE GONNA RUN OUT OF AMMO FASTER. YOU ARE GOING TO RELOAD MORE OFTEN. THE BIGGEST BITCH ABOUT A SHOTGUN ARE THE FUCKING SHELLS AND RELOADING, IT IS PRETTY IMPRACTICAL AND TAKES FOREVER UNLESS IN CHANGEABLE MAGAZINES.



NP, YOUR SARCASM DETECT LEVELS ARE NOT VERY HIGH. THE SMG WAS NOT MADE TO BE SPRAYED RANDOMLY, THEY WERE MADE TO BE A COMPACT AUTOMATIC WEAPON. IF THEY WERE MADE TO JUST BE SPRAYED RANDOMLY, I DOUBT ANY OF THEM WOULD HAVE SIGHTS ON THE GUN. TRUTH IS THAT MANY SMG's ARE PRETTY ACCURATE FOR THEIR SIZE AND BULLET WILL ACTUALLY GO WHERE YOU AIM.



I THINK YOU MISSED MY POINT. WHY WOULD YOU START RANDOMLY SNIPING ZOMBIES FROM LONG RANGE ONLY TO HAVE THEM START RUNNING AFTER YOU? YOU CAN JUST AVOID THE WHOLE SITUATION AND GO AROUND THE ZOMBIES. THERE IS NO NEED TO START FIGHTS MAN.



YOUR TYPICAL AVERAGE JOE WONT BE ABLE TO HIT A TARGET AT 800M. THAT IS A PRETTY TOUGH SHOT ASSUMING THAT YOUR SCOPE IS ZEROED IN. THAT IS A HUGE ASSUMPTION CONSIDERING HOW ITS GONNA BE HARD TO FIND THE TIME AND LOCATION TO DO THE ZEROING IN. THIS ALSO GOES BACK TO MY PREVIOUS POINT REGARDING SHOOTING LONG RANGE. YOU ARE JUST WASTING AMMO BY SHOOTING THAT FAR. YOU CAN JUST AVOID THE WHOLE SITUATION.



TBH THE MOST DAMAGE A ZOMBIE IS GONNA DO TO A CAR IS BREAK ITS WINDOWS. THAT IS THE ONLY PLACE I CAN REASON WITH ARMOR PLATING.



IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU DEPICT YOUR ZOMBIE FANTASY

@lollollol12:

- I'm pretty sure the 7.62 NATO ammo is rather easy to come by. Other rifles use this type of round as their ammo besides the AKs. The revolver is just impractical in terms of reloading, though it's probably a pretty common firearm and they usually are way more durable than pistols. Unless you have that six-cylinder instant reload tool, reloading goes a lot faster, but humping a pack of those six-cylinder reloaders is nothing but a waste of space.

- Reloading any shotgun is just a pain in a butt, pump or semi. In a panic situation, it's easier to pull the trigger rather than having to remember to pump the handle for every shot, which also adds delay to your firing rate when many zombies are gunning for you. But you're right that you run out of ammo faster with a semi and will probably need to reload more often than wont.

- When it comes to SMGs, they are designed for accuracy, but their rate of fire is faster than that of other assault rifles, which is why some people use SMGs to "hose" the field with bullets. They are accurate, but in tight, controlled bursts and only up to a certain range smaller than that of most assault rifles.

- As for the sniper rifle situation, I meant that if somehow you find a zombie horde running after you, not after shooting then. You don't want to bolt-feeding every bullet into the chamber when you have zombies after you. I highly doubt that if you started sniping, zombies would immediately run after you. The distance will be far enough to effectively dissipate the sound, making it hard for zombies to pinpoint the source of noise, which is your sniper rifle. In any case, having a semi-auto sniper is easier in the in terms of handling of the weapon.

- As for the range, that's assuming you've got plenty of rounds and magazines to go through and you're killing zombies for the hell of it. Otherwise, traveling in the cities/towns would require shotguns or assault rifles.

- That's what I meant by armor plating since the zombies are at level with the car window height.

- Well yeah, anything is up in the air in terms of realizing the zombie apocalypse.

Wow, Uncle Phil making concise, coherent arguments and proving a point.

Cool.


So now are we in agreement? Only Saiga-12s and SPAS-15s as shotguns when the hoards rise-up?

YEAH MAN IM FUCKIN INTO THIS SHIT



YEAH MAN, SHOTGUNS WITH CHANGEABLE MAGAZINES IS PROBABLY THE WAY TO GO. EVEN IF THEY GOT A LOW CAP (EVEN IN A DRUM, TBH) ITS BETTER THAN LOADING SHELL BY SHELL INTO A NON-REMOVABLE MAGAZINE

For my primary:


My secondary:


First Aid Kit


Pipe Bomb


and of course Pillz

This will be my primary



And my secondary is this

This is the thing with shotguns...

While a removable magazine CAN let you reload faster... that is only until you run out of magazines. at which point you'd have to insert the shotgun shells one by one into the breech of the weapon and fire it that way. By comparison, while a pump action shotgun takes longer to reload completely, you can in theory fire and reload at the same time, and keep that up until you run out of shells.

So yeah, I wouldn't consider mag fed shotties to have too overwhelming an advantage when compared to the more traditional ones (heck, if its that much superior, magfed shotties would've replaced the older ones by now)

The idea would be to have all of one's shell supply already in magazines (would you carry a pouch of bullets along with loaded mags for a rifle?). And even if you were carrying loose shells, the point if to get from cover-to-cover, and mowing through a hoard of zombies can be done very efficiently if you just have to change mags/drums.

Or what if you come-up against a boss zombie like a Tyrant or Uroboros? :lol: The box-mag shotgun would come in awful handy there, just for sheer ammo-dump capability.

Here's the issue though, unlike the magazines for rifles, these shotgun magazines are a lot more bulky, and barely carry more rounds than the internal magazines of a more traditional shotgun. Lets say a box of 20 shells (standard from the store), would fill up 3-4 magazines, effectively doubling the space required to carry to same amount of ammo.

As for boss zombie scenario: Sorry, won't be what I'll be doing. I would be getting as far away from any place that this may be happening, and possibly kidnapping a few hostages/baits just so I can use them to get away from this type of boss zombies.

I am going to point out the silliness in using a katana as a weapon (even a secondary), as although they are silent and deadly, the exorbitant amounts of care required to keep your blade in efficient condition are truly not worth the effort to fight with on a daily zombie basis. Also, swinging a katana with enough force to effectively lop some unfortunate zombie's head from its shoulders is not necessarily difficult, but the technique required to do such an act and not bend or even break the blade is pretty essential, and not something people that are new (1-5 years) to using a blade will be accustomed to. And trust me, keeping a blade's path straight during a panic'ed situation is incredibly difficult. Also, I fear that the idea of using one-handed blade (or dual-wield blades) techniques would be the downfall of many a survivor, as these take incredible practice to master and use without wasting energy. You are much better off with a trusty axe(short-handle, hatchet variety) or a thick bladed knife (machete) as a secondary weapon.

Primary Weapon:
Preferably anything semi-automatic that is silenced with a scope. A large magazine size is well-to-do as well.

Secondary:
Most probably some form of silenced pistol. A good melee weapon, as mentioned above would be a necessity.

Equipment:
Bike. Anytype of full-body suit that will protect from bite-penetration.


And for good measure, my body:

Definetely not Schwarzenegger.

OR YOU COULD JUST RELOAD YOUR MAGAZINES UNLESS YOU ARE A FUCKING RETARD AND THINK THIS IS LIKE CALL OF DUTY WHERE YOU CAN JUST DROP YOUR MAGS ON THE GROUND AND NEVER PICK IT UP AGAIN



I FEEL WHAT YOU ARE SAYING MAN, BUT THAT IS ASSUMING THAT THE GUY HAS MORE SHELLS THAN WHAT CAN BE FIT INTO HIS MAGS AND THAT HE WILL ACTUALLY NEED ALL THAT FUCKING FIREPOWER FROM WHATS IN THE MAGS + MORE

@StarInfinity: playing much of L4D?

@Sprite: Fuck, if I had a Guyver suit, I'd go out on zombie hunting missions rather than being on the run from them.

just twin desert eagle

NOT DESERT EAGLES IN THE PICTURE LOL

Plus, Desert Eagles are terribly impractical. They're huge, unwieldy, have enormous recoil, and have shitty magazine capacity. The Deagles were made as penile enhancement and sport guns, nothing more. (mag caps: .357mag-9rnds, .44mag-8rnds, .50AE-7rnds)
Something far more appropriate would be a Glock-17 or Beretta 92FS, firearms with nice, large mag capacities (15+ std for both, 30rnd extended mags available for both) and you're aiming for the head anyway, a 9x19 Parabellum is more than enough to shred zombie-brains.

can't find any pic of desert eagle

rofl

Well, I wouldn't be able to get my hands on any kind of firearm or especially useful equipment. I'll probably go nuts with a tire-iron or some kinda metal pipe that I can find, and try making it down to the "nearby" (A few km) police academy in search for something more useful, and then I would barricade myself in the closet super-market, try to make some kinda armor to protect me from bites and clawing.

I would be pretty much fucked.
