Zombie invasion!
 
if you had hordes of zombies trying to break into your house right now, what house hold weopon would you grab to defend yourself?

swiss tony 04-12-2007 01:26 AM

i'd probably grab a towel. first i'd use as a blind fold on myself to try and even things up for the zombies. then if i got bored i could soak it, twist it and hand out a few whippins.

Ash's_evil_hand 04-12-2007 02:20 AM

It's obvious. You rip the arm off the zombie and beat him/her with it.

It's all in here:

You could also force feed them coca-cola so their teeth would rot and they wouldn't be able to bite any more. :D

Geddy 04-12-2007 02:28 AM

I'd probably siphon the gas from my dad's car and make molotov cocktails or whatever they're called.

AmericanManiac 04-12-2007 04:05 AM

I would use a blow torch-and a 33% more hairspray can :D

Definitely my Louisville Slugger.

stubbornforgey 04-12-2007 04:37 AM

I would kick them in the nuts..
rip off thier heads

:o then wake up :o

bwind22 04-12-2007 05:00 AM

baseball bat, machete or crowbar.

Demonique 04-12-2007 06:05 AM

No guns in my house... Canadian gun registry mumblemumblemumble....
But I do collect medieval arms and armour so I'm guessing the 3 foot battle axe and the 6 foot halberd should do the trick.
(If it's not a small room) othewise one of the swords will do.;)

I strongly believe that a shotgun is the best all-around zombie defeating weapon. It's easy to use, and has enough power to take down the undead in one shot.

But if I had to go with what was actually in my house right now--I'd go with a baseball bat. It extends your reach and enables you to bash your opponent with little effort.

bloody_ribcut 04-12-2007 06:43 AM

the two butcher knives under my pillow.

Nope. accuracy with a shotgun- absent ammo- low capacity noise level- way high. shotgun is the best on the big screen.


Katana. It's lengthy, light, durable, not easily broken, sharp as hell, swift, and perfectly cliche.

You still have to get too close. A good defense is the best offense...
Unless you have a $12,000 katana it will get dull pretty quickly after a few passes through flesh and bone.

Not as quick as you think. Ours hasn't gotten dull, and we've hacked the hell out of trees and shit for fun with it for years.

They may not be as dull as hell but it takes considerable sharpness to lop off a head and it wouldn't stay that sharp for long. We are of course talking about killing something that doesn't exist so you can always make theories. Maybe the flesh would be decayed enough to provide little challenge but the bone won't be rotted.

Riff 04-12-2007 02:27 PM

I've got a very nice, very sharp, chef's knife...

you can always jab. stab through the eye or up beneath the chin.

You would have to be dangerously close. If I HAD to be close I'd use a bat.

Posher778 04-12-2007 02:43 PM

i think the attic method is the safest from anything. You climb into the attack, pull up the string and trapdoor, and poof, no more zombies.

I like houses that are higher up, maybe have two exits with one being a door conected to a "mud room" and the other off a deck. It would be easy to bar the one door, fill the mudroom FULL of stuff, and then bar the next door making getting through the room impossible. Then you cut the deck stairs off with a sawzall (quick and easy to do) so you have access to the deck and from there the roof. Also, the windows would be too high for anything to get into even one on top of the other (but boarding for safety is ideal). A unicorn is also the ideal transportation. ;)

How do you get back out...?

novadawn969 04-12-2007 03:30 PM

People put waaay too much thought into this...

That's not good... especially if I were the zombie.

I guess I need to put more thought into it so I wouldn't be a zombie... :p




I'd just let my cat loose. Annii can take anything. She killed my left hang when she had kittens a couple weeks ago... Couldn't move my thumb at all. Deep cuts.
She'd mutalate the fuck out of the undead... then all I'd have to do is throw something at them or something. Knock them immoble.
Or just set them on fire.
I'm going to come up with new ways to kill zombies. Make a show out of it.
I'll make millions.
I'll be a crypt keeper. :D

From the deck you go to the roof, rope ladder, more than one person so there's always somebody there to pull the ladder back up and provide cover as you go for food/supplies.

Posher778 04-12-2007 03:36 PM

i like despares, except one problem..... food. what about the survival element?

Well this is based on a house and neighborhood I know. You get down in groups, go through stores, other house, etc... there's at LEAST 5 grocery stores within 10 mins (including two big ones) and lots of houses around. That means a lot of zombies to fight off but ALSO a lot of food around for the smart gatherer. Not only that but most of the people around are white collar workers who commute every day quite a distance and if the zombies follow their dying memories a lot of them will probably head away from the town. Not only that but there are lots of deer, rabbit, and other game animals around.

Posher778 04-12-2007 03:59 PM

but, eventually it will run out... what then?

The animals in the woods? I doubt that... if that happens then the Eart is doomed anyway.

Posher778 04-12-2007 04:48 PM

I would just build a medium sized fortress, with special engineering to make it zombie prrof, with defense mechanisms, like the main gate is about 20 feet concave with walls on opposite sides, so people could snipe out windows TOWARD the gate if they get too close. Electrical wires that we could lay out on the ground at the perimeter, powered by batteries, that would give them a shock if they tried to come near. Flamethrower windows to set them ablaze, slowly burning them to death, etc.

Despare 04-12-2007 04:58 PM

The house I mentioned is already a place that exists... it would be tough to build under attack.

It would take time, but makeshift forts would be built in the process, and it would be a team of about 12-14 people. 7 guarding the perimeter, and 7 building day and night.

Where would you get the supplies? Tools?

Posher778 04-12-2007 05:17 PM

Little woodland creatures. lol jk.

Like I said, it would take lot's of time, but the payoff would be great. However, if we could find a suitable building that we could just add on to, that would be the same.

stubbornforgey 04-12-2007 06:37 PM

They are zombies ppl...we need a wiser plan than a pool cue or a shot gun.
knee them in the balls
kick em in the guts..
rip thier head off..



then wake up. :o

bloogertag 04-13-2007 12:39 AM

I read bits and pieces of a book called the zombie survival guide. The book recommended using a crowbar. Basically its good for splitting heads, its durable and its good for prying doors or hatches open. My crowbar is in my car, so if i had zombies banging on my door id be shit out of luck, but I do have 2 nasty fiji style weapons I bought over there on a holiday. Theyre not accually use for skull damage, one is used for breaking necks and my other is used for opening up stomaches but im sure I could still do damage to a zombie with them. I did want to buy a skull smasher over in fiji but I had already gone over my spending limit.

Posher778 04-16-2007 02:20 PM

And i'd use lots of molotov cocktails. Fun!

And when i'm done with my happy castle i'll invite all.... most of you guys to stay there, given you'll help in the extermination fieeessstttaaa

Thats a pretty good idea.i think my cats can take on anything:)
The first thing I could grab would probably be my books.Id start throwing them like crazy and hope to God they start falling apart by all the damn papercuts!My house is so tiny,I probably wouldnt survive anyways.

Despare 04-16-2007 04:40 PM

As far as instant readiness... I have quite a few things in my car that would help. Axe handle, knives, two hatches, some rope, a couple lighters, a flare I think, a tent, and extra clothes/blanket/various other things that would help with survival.

bleeding_angelgirl 04-17-2007 06:46 AM

hmm if i was being attacked by zombies it would depend on it were talking the slow moving one or the ones from 28 days., those fuckers were fast. i would have to use a frying pan i guess
