how to survive thee zombiez by rastalucho

Step 5: Weapons

FaithZombieKillingMachine.jpg
when a group of zombies come, your groups needs some stuff in their hands to beat the zombies to a pulp
-a person need guns
-a revolver doesn't jam but carries less bullets
-a shotgun carries more bullets and if your shooting the slow moving zombies take aim carefully in the head
-a rocket launcher can kill a large number of zombies at once
-a normal pistol is all right
- grenade are good, especially when the sad dude is gonna kill himself killing the zombie
-a rifle rocks
-a Uzi uses a lot of bullets but their good if your going crazy against a group of zombies

-also knives are good, use any knives but i would use throwing daggers, ninja stars, and my favorite the katana to slice the zombies head off

so normally use anything that you and your grooup can get your hands on.

where do you think you will get a rocket launcher or grenades?
Thrasym says: Jun 3, 2012. 10:45 AM
From that military outpost that got overrun the other day. Seriously, who wouldn't head strait for the nearest militarized area in the apocalypse? It's protection if the military is still active or a vast amount of food and weapons and vehicles and fortified defenses if they've been eaten or forced to relocate by zombies. Military bases are all over every country, so, they're always close enough.

the best weapons are long shafted or blunt or both if you can handle it or just go for a long handled axe for nice middle ground

Yea but I prefer a shoto or chisa katana (even though chisa katana aren't traditional at all), a bit faster and a bit more practical, I mean a full size daito is very good, but you couldn't use it in a confined space.

Neovenetar says: Nov 15, 2010. 8:59 AM
I mean a small katana, I prefer smaller weapons for their speed, but they still have strength unlike a ordinary katana with a lightened blade.

mabye I can't swing a daito with hand because I'm only thirteen.... in five days.
Neovenetar says: Nov 15, 2010. 11:24 AM
I've only ever held a wakizashi, but today my suburi bokken came in the post, and I can't swing that with one hand, so I don't think the o katana is a good idea for me, nor daisho.....

wait, how can your real sword be too light? Isn't it good to have a lighter sword (unless it is too fragile)
Thrasym says: Jun 3, 2012. 10:39 AM
Lighter swords have less cutting power. It takes less effort to decapitate a zombie with a heavier sword. Keep in mind, generally speaking, you will not be flipping around like Yoda deflecting and parrying in long drawn out battles with your cunning rival. The goal would be one swing, one zombie head rolling down the street.

Ninja and samurai swords are not designed to stop zombies and would be a horrible choice, unless you are a ninja or samurai and have extensive experience using them before the apocalypse hits. Even then, you'd probably be better off with a machete or hammer. Or one of the heavier curved bladed swords (if you can find one), there are numerous mid-eastern versions but if you like the Asian stuff, a Chinese Dao is a good example.

I'd be grabbing the guns with silencers and ammo first though.

true, but doesn't that make it harder to block after a strike?
syphek says: Jul 2, 2009. 7:54 AM
or GUNS
volten says: Jul 3, 2009. 9:24 AM
thats great till you run out of bullets id much rather have a weapon I don't need to fiddle with every time it runs at of bullets
syphek says: Jul 3, 2009. 4:17 PM
have fun getting bitten when you get tired while i sit on the top of a building with a couple crates of ammo picking them off around you.
Future filmaker says: Jul 30, 2009. 7:46 AM
Just raid Dick's, they have a couple big glass cabinets of ammo at my local one
syphek says: Jul 30, 2009. 4:01 PM
thats the way everyone will think. at the store there will be fights over getting the ammo, which will end with people getting shot. which was my whole point, the ammo will almost all have to be scavenged about 2-3 weeks after TSHTF day
Future filmaker says: Aug 13, 2009. 5:27 PM
then sign up for the army, and when the attack comes, you and your platoon will have guns, ammo, vehicles, and perhaps most important, NUMBER
StonedMythic says: Jul 29, 2010. 6:48 PM
do you know how to properly use a katana? if not, then they are pretty useless...
Neovenetar says: Nov 14, 2010. 7:09 AM
Good point, many people think if you just swing a sword it will work, that is really not true.
geodez says: Dec 11, 2009. 9:59 AM
things like spears and shurikans would not work, the zombies do not have any working vital organs so they would be useless, it would just be demoralizing to see a zombie take a heart shot with a spear and keep on walking.

geodez says: Nov 12, 2010. 5:45 PM
Yes, that is true.
Neovenetar says: Jul 21, 2010. 7:21 AM
shurikens would work if they were heavy ones to the head, but a spear would work if u hit them with it.
geodez says: Jul 22, 2010. 9:56 PM
You forget, they are not human, they do not feel pain, Their internal organs are hardly functional, the only way they can be stopped is if they are physically incapable of movement, that means chopped up in to chunks, exploded, torn apart, squished, gibbed, frozen, crushed, weighted and thrown underwater, burned to a crisp (dust), encased in a safe, they will NOT stop for anything, that is why you have to do it for them.
Neovenetar says: Jul 24, 2010. 7:42 AM
but since they are rotting away, a blow to the head would shatter their spine, rendering them unable to move
geodez says: Jul 24, 2010. 7:49 AM
No, you don't understand, they are NOT Human, they require no vital organs to function, this isn't Left 4 Dead, this is Fight For Your Life.
Neovenetar says: Jul 24, 2010. 9:15 AM
yes i know, but without a spine they would be physically unable to move..... and i have never even played left 4 dead
geodez says: Jul 24, 2010. 11:37 AM
That is where chopped into peices comes in.
Neovenetar says: Jul 25, 2010. 3:39 AM
thats where the trusty autoshotgun comes in :P
geodez says: Jul 25, 2010. 9:01 AM
Or my Secret Project.
Neovenetar says: Jul 25, 2010. 10:46 AM
or mine, exept that i have to wait another 100 years for it to work....
geodez says: Jul 25, 2010. 1:19 PM
?
Neovenetar says: Jul 25, 2010. 2:42 PM
if you care for something for 100 years, it will come to life..... living knives.
geodez says: Jul 26, 2010. 7:51 AM
Yes, If not by fate, then by design.
Neovenetar says: Jul 26, 2010. 2:26 PM
if you want to see what i mean, just ask MOME....
geodez says: Jul 26, 2010. 4:44 PM
MOME.
Neovenetar says: Jul 27, 2010. 9:00 AM
yes, if you know who MOME is.
geodez says: Jul 27, 2010. 12:42 PM
Yes.
Neovenetar says: Jul 28, 2010. 1:39 AM
really, then who is MOME?

I'm joking, It's not well known, it's a character from an anime called Love Hina. And before you try to say it, no I do not learn my shinobi techniques from anime, I just watch it.

Just saying it's not an action anime, it's funny, but it's a love story.... with the odd sword fight.
fragmaster4 says: Feb 15, 2010. 9:53 PM
Spears, Crossbows, and some other things WOULD work. For the spear, throw it in their head or in their eye, stab them repetitively with the spear. Shoot them in the eye or the head with the cross bow, or you can stab them in the eye with a pencil, a noodle, or a fork. (Just kidding, you would most likely be eaten alive if you did that.)
pie R []ed says: Jul 12, 2010. 10:46 PM
A noodle? ..... hoh yes... that's a great idea...
Future filmaker says: Jun 15, 2009. 11:12 PM
I think that a crossbow is also a must. After all, nothing else carries as much zombie slaying history as a crossbow.
Pyro_Boy says: Jul 13, 2009. 7:01 AM
dude that would b really good also soak the bolts in holy water just in case
Future filmaker says: Jul 28, 2009. 9:09 AM
or tie a stick of C4 to the end with a fuse, light it up, and watch the fireworks
syphek says: Jul 28, 2009. 11:38 AM
you cant use c4 with a fuse. it needs a detonator in it and det cord going from that, and det cord needs a specialized shotgun shell to light it up, not to mention, det cord goes too fast for that to work, it'd blow up in your face when you try it
Future filmaker says: Jul 28, 2009. 4:23 PM
then use TNT, haha, I cant belive we are fighting over this
syphek says: Jul 28, 2009. 7:05 PM
TNT is the same deal, it needs a detonator.
Future filmaker says: Jul 30, 2009. 7:45 AM
You can use a fuse on TNT... didn't you ever watch saturday morning cartoons????
RC-0720 says: Dec 9, 2009. 3:11 PM
erm... sorry to burst your bubble, mate, but cartoons are not real life.
syphek says: Dec 10, 2009. 6:33 AM
lol, thank you, i wasnt sure whether or not i wanted to dignify that with a response
geodez says: Aug 14, 2009. 4:46 PM
the original trinitrotoluene was fuse-detonated, and if removed from the red plastic case it is moldable (clay-like.) perfect for bolt-bombs.
syphek says: Aug 14, 2009. 6:02 PM
right, but since it sweats, and there have been changes to it, that is no longer a viable option
geodez says: Aug 14, 2009. 7:09 PM
i know, but the original, to make it you mix nitroglycerin with silica and you will get the original trinitrotoluene.
M4industries says: Aug 29, 2009. 6:48 PM
Wrong again, Dynamite and TNT are two completly different explosives. Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel in 1869 Sweden. It is what you just described with the nitro. TNT, is a compound on its own. It was invented much later and there is no "original" mixture that doesnt require a cap. That was invented by either miners or the army corps (core) of engineers.
Kindhamster says: May 11, 2010. 2:02 PM
THANK YOU!!!
Finally, someone else who understands TNT and Dynamite are different things!!!
(wanna team up and kill AC/DC?)
Neovenetar says: Jul 25, 2010. 11:26 AM
are you going to kill justin bieber? if so then im in!
M4industries says: May 11, 2010. 4:29 PM
 I love their music. I think I'll be able to get over the inaccuracy.
geodez says: Aug 30, 2009. 8:50 AM
we were talking about TNT, not dynamite. and that dynamite and TNT are different is common knowledge.
M4industries says: Sep 4, 2009. 5:16 PM
But what you described two comments ago was dynamite and you refered to it as trinitrotoluene which is TNT abbreviated.
geodez says: Sep 4, 2009. 7:51 PM
hmm.
lop145 says: Jun 26, 2009. 5:51 PM
molotov cocktails would also work and they're easy to make u can use things like turpentine acetone gasoline and similar stuff. as for the rocket launcher it's kinda impossible. and a katana or other ligt bladed weapon is really hard to handle.
syphek says: Jul 2, 2009. 7:52 AM
flaming zombies running around is a bad thing
lop145 says: Sep 23, 2009. 8:45 AM
you dont know if they die from it or not. just capture one cut its arms & legs off smash out its teeth. viola you got yourself a test subject. :)
nutsandbolts_64 says: May 31, 2009. 6:07 AM
does a molotov cocktail work?
brox911 says: Jul 8, 2009. 9:48 PM
the only thing worse than a zombie is a pissed off, flaming, screaming zombie. not fun to be tackled by one of those.
geodez says: Aug 14, 2009. 4:46 PM
ha ha.
Future filmaker says: Jun 15, 2009. 11:11 PM
well, the problem is this causes a slow burning that the zombies may be able to fight through. So, given enough time... yes
RC-0720 says: Jul 5, 2009. 9:37 AM
unless you set it for a short fuse (eg cutting an inch or so off of the fuse, so it will go off quickly), or merely keep a lot, and set the flame as close to the explosive as possible. however, a lot of blacksmithing tools can be used for zombie-killing, such as all of the hammers that we use, or even the simpler tools, such as the scraping tools, and etc, can be heated up to incredible temperatures, so that the hot metal could melt right through the zombie's skin, and really do damage to the brains.
countrygiri says: Jul 6, 2009. 11:11 AM
You need to be careful with fire though,as you cannot control it once set loose. Fire is better avoided and best to use only for sweeping((clearing of any living decapitated heads+ zombie bodies))
RC-0720 says: Apr 2, 2009. 2:08 PM
where the heck would a simple civilian find a rocket launcher? the most a normal person could get was a revolver, or maybe a hunting rifle.
geodez says: Aug 14, 2009. 4:44 PM
i know lots of makeshift weapons such as flamethrower, RKT launcher, etc. anyways this is INSTRUCTABLES they have INSTRUCTIONS for stuff like this, we are pretty tight-knit here so we can all pretty much look out for each other if this happens.
weasel999 says: Aug 7, 2009. 2:05 PM
THis link is where lots of makeshift weapons and a rocketlauncher
RC-0720 says: Aug 9, 2009. 11:36 AM
interesting... but why would one want to kill someone's cat? that would definitely bring about a lawsuit or something...
Future filmaker says: Jul 28, 2009. 9:15 AM
make one with some pvc and a couple of fireworks XD
RC-0720 says: Jul 29, 2009. 5:26 AM
well, yeah, you could do that. I've made a good bazooka out of some PVC pipe and a tank of compressed air... it shoots poorly when aimed straight up, which we did when we tested it, but we've never gotten the courage to build up to full power and shoot somewhat horizontally...
lord voldamort says: Jun 23, 2009. 12:07 PM
the thing about that is that as long as you have a tank and the zombies dont have weapons your pretty much set besides for food
nutsandbolts_64 says: May 30, 2009. 12:36 AM
How about a whole bunch of people with a LOT of machetes ( just in case )
RC-0720 says: May 31, 2009. 6:03 AM
well, that would work, if they were strong enough to swipe out at the zombie waves again and again, and if the blade of the machete was forged with the right materials to make it light enough for lengthened combat, but heavy enough to crack someone's skull open.
jball13 says: Apr 28, 2009. 2:45 PM
you can get uzi or an ak-47
syphek says: Jul 2, 2009. 7:55 AM
ak is a great idea, they can go through hell and back an they NEVER break down
Future filmaker says: Jul 28, 2009. 9:14 AM
alas, ammo is hard to come by in the apocalyptic times
becauseican says: Aug 5, 2009. 3:05 PM
yes people always say "ill go 2 the sports store and get guns." aside from the bullet proof glass that blocks the guns. you can probably only last 3-4 ndays on the amount of ammunition. also many people that talk about guns alot have no skill in shooting.
syphek says: Jul 2, 2009. 7:58 AM
for once, you actually had good points. btw/ shotguns dont carry ANY bullets, they carry shells, and it'd be about equal with the revolver as far a capacity, depending on what kind you get knives are the stupidest idea in the world, and should only be used as a last resort once youve run out of bullets, and cant run anymore, and cant find anything to hide in (buildings)
Future filmaker says: Jul 30, 2009. 7:46 AM
Knives? Might as well poke the undead with a stick
spenfisher says: Jul 19, 2009. 10:29 PM
futer film maker are you retarted they reload slow and are only good at close range,you would need like 1 or 2 hundred peoaple for it to be efective
Future filmaker says: Jul 28, 2009. 9:13 AM
Unles you use a chinese repeating crossbow, or you make one of those awesome Van Helsing repeater bows :P there are always options
swords45 says: Jul 1, 2009. 10:47 AM
actually i would use all those weapons and when i would be surrounded and had no ammo for the guns i just used, i would use my favorite gun the MINIGUN!!!!!!!
ZOMBIE_FINNY says: Jun 2, 2009. 8:46 AM
most of this stuff would be hard to get and by the way who is the hot girl in the picture
RC-0720 says: Jun 6, 2009. 3:02 PM
that was taken from Resident Evil: Extinction...
