How to: Survive a Zombie Apocolypse!

You awake one morning to the buzzing of your alarm clock. Sleepily, you look over at the time; You're late! Quickly you rush out of bed, put on your suit (super speed), and grab the cold coffee your wife made you off of the counter. You snatch up your keys from the table and rush out the door. Immediately you notice something is wrong: everything is silent. Where is everybody?, you think to yourself. Then you snap back into reality; you jump in your car and drive towards the city.

Once there, you get the same feeling you did at your house. You look around, see no one, and step into your office building. You look all over, but again, no one is there. You walk ouside and see someone. You are far away so you go towards the figure to get a closer look. When you see the face you stop in your tracks. You realize what is wrong, but it is too late...

This is the average Zombie Apocalypse scenario, although some get off luckier than others. This instructable will teach you what to do when you have to go mono e mono with the undead.

Step 1 Mark Important Locations

Even before the zombies attack, you need to mark out impotant locations. Foresight is one of the most important thing before and during the Apocalypse. These will be very useful when you actually need to utilize them; they just might save your life. It's a good idea to mark out more than one of each because you never know where you will be during an outbreak. There are several different places which you must not leave out:

Safehouse- A safehouse is extremely pertinant if you are planning to hold out until the military arrives. They have to be made of stone, cement, or brick and reinforced with rebarb. While there, you must be able to barricade the doors and windows, ensuring that no reanimated being shall enter. You can make the choice to brig along other survivors or save your rations for yourself.
A Place to Obtain Sustainance- In ther words, a place you can get food. This is also important, because without food, you will die. There is no point locking youself in a safe place if you'll just die of starvation. Plus, if I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go down fighting.
Gunstore- Without a weapon, you will be eaten alive; simple as that. Now, it doesn't have to be a gun, but it is the preferred choice for most people. The shorter the distance from your starting point, the better. In short, just get a weapon.

you should add the fn fal because its semi and fully automatic and full sized nato 7.62  ml round lots of stoping power

[KNEXFRANTIC]

bren is a mmg to hmg because its 303. caliber

[smanzie4]

that "machinen gewehr 1934" is a MG42

[ILIKEPIE333]

im sorry, but on this ur incorrect. look up MG34 and you will find that ur attempt at a correction to, ironically, be wrong.

[ILIKEPIE333]

I didnt do this just for the instructable, I did it mainly for the stories at the beginning of the steps, so if you could please focus on that other than the redundancy of these types of instructables

Your rifles. They won't work. 7.62x39mm (AK-47) was designed to wound a man. Same thing with the .223 (AR-15), it was designed so that soldiers could carry a lot of them. Better off with a hunting round, since those are meant to kill things much larger than a person.

Here's a video from when VHS was new to help demonstrate my point.

Other than that, pretty good. Left 4/Dawn of the Dead inspired?

[ILIKEPIE333]

Your not trying to destroy the zombie entirely, one shot to the brain with one of those bullets will kill it. You are right about the hunting rounds though, but they might be overkill and carrying a bolt action rifle through streets filled with zombies might be a bad idea. Thanks, but I dont even own the game, I just saw a zombie apocalypse ible and wanted to try my hand at it

[Tool Using Animal]

Just plain wrong. The full metal jacket bullets used by the military are required under international convention. Ballistically the 7.62X39 is equivalent to a 30-30, the .223 was developed as a hunting round. You can find, easily, cartridges load with bullets that display the terminal ballistics associated with the maximum energy transfer you would need.

[ILIKEPIE333]

Yes, well...

[Whaleman]

True, but military firearms are going to be hard to come by because they are military firearms. They'll either be on dead guys or they'll be on people who would rather have it for themselves. Don't want to go near the dead or dying and it's difficult to take something from someone that they don't want to give you. Much better going with a hunting rifle because of the availability (before the zombies) and ease of use. Best to stock up before.

[ILIKEPIE333]

If you live in the midwest/ south USA (this is kind of a stereotype) you might find military grade rifles in peoples houses

[Tool Using Animal]

My Vet has an AR-15, my best friend an SKS, I have a Mosin, why yes I do live in the south.

[ILIKEPIE333]

lol

[ItsTheHobbs]

Another one? I'm not saying this is bad, but they are all the same. Safehouse, weapons, transportation.

[ILIKEPIE333]

I know how you feel, but this is just something people do for fun, its not meant to be serious, its just proving to yourself you can do something like this

[Tool Using Animal]

Okay, I'll say it, it's bad. Lawdy, these people who think they'll just be able to run out and find supplies after a disaster have never been through a disaster. After a disaster EVERYONE will be heading to the gun stores and the food stores, and do you know what they'll find when they get there? That they have either been cleaned out, or the owner is shooting looters. Not to mention this is another "Carry 75lbs of guns and a 100lbs of ammo and run from the zombies" because they can do that in the movies, guns are freaking heavy. And lastly his section on Allies consists of "shoot them" and then strangely mentions "charisma".

[ILIKEPIE333]

This is not meant to be serious, its a parody
On the recruiting allies section, the first part is the story, the note at the end is what you should do

[karossii]

Okay, really? When did Instructables become joke of the day? I'm really getting tired of these types of 'ibles.

[HarveyH44]

I find it a little disturbing, that there are so many, putting so much thought into this stuff. Almost obsessive, some of them are written in humor, but some to take it a little too serious. Wonder how long before some child goes on a demented rampage in a group of drunken bums. Or uses it as a defense for killing his drunk or self-medicating parents. Oh, and wounded soldiers are better than dead soldiers, since 1 or two others will have to stop shooting to give aid, also slows troop movement... After the monthly 'Zombie', we usually get the 'free-money on the internet' spam, guess it'll be up shortly...
