I didn't chose guns cause they're cool, I don't even like them. But I have to take into account my capabilities and limits. I'm agile, but have very low explosive power, definetely not enough to knock out something that doesn't even stops for pain.
Honestly my best course of action would likely to be sneaking, climbing and preparing traps. I'd avoid combat always unless in dire emergency.
Guns have one huge drawback of giving away one's position. You can bash the head of a zombie in 5 feet from a mob of zombies and be fine, one gun shot and you're swarmed. Also the choice of gun would have to be taken into account. A .500 S&W would rip the head off but in a Walking Dead setting, ammo plants will be shut down and ammo for such a gun will become hard to come by. .9mm, .22LR, .223 Rem, 7.62x39mm, and 12 Gauge would probably be the most common rounds.

I wouldn't want a katana for a zombie apocalypse, lots of maintenance and you can seriously *** up the blade if you don't swing it at the right angle.

yeah I would totally try to 'metal gear' sneak around everything given the choice.


Problem with guns is you can fall prey to getting a 'death grip' from adrenaline and emptying the clip instead of running or swapping to a melee weapon. This is why ammo gets so scarce in zombie apocalypses!

Ya know what... *** it. Give me a good spear.
That takes a shitload more stamina and strength than the weapons we mentioned; settle down popeye!

imagine maintaining spear combat often? eeeeeep lol

Not to mention that although you might skewer a zombie, that may not be enough to stop it. Then you're stuck holding a stick with a zombie-kebab advancing at you.

.9mm, .22LR, .223 Rem, 7.62x39mm, and 12 Gauge would probably be the most common rounds.

.9mm - Surplus from Germany from use with the "Luger" as well as police side-arms.

.223 Remington - Civilian version of 5.56x45 NATO, US current issue and a very popular round, Military rounds aren't completely interchangeable with Civilian counterparts.

7.62x39mm - Surplus from several countries, used in the SKS starting in 1945 and the AK-47 starting in 1947.

.22 Long Rifle - Common hunting round since the early 1900's, you can literally buy thousands of them and walk out of the store with them in your coat pockets. Packaged in bulk.

12 Gauge - Common hunting round, can be very destructive. Cheap to make, cheap to buy.

...just in case anyone wonders why I chose those.

My weapon of choice would be looting and hoarding all the toiletries from you all, and gleefully laugh as your stench equals that of the undead!



Smelly ***!

No toilet paper! WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?!?!?

If you help protect our plunderings, I will absolutely share! :D

First, the triple ply quilted!

Then, the double!

I don't know what happens when we get down to that sandpaper, single ply though.

You have a point, but you have to admit that in any apocalyptic scenario, everyone is going to be super smelly.

Don't you have to have lard for soap? Isn't that one of the original ingredients? Lard? I forgot where I read that. It was a long time ago.

4 items...

Military grade sleeping bag
First aid kit (some kits can include specific hygiene items, though others can be made)
I'm a bladed weapon user, so I'd go with one of the katanas I already own
I'd also carry a portable water purification system, since this is about survival

Went over to my sister's. I just spent 10 mins staring at Seha's avatar because my niece wandered over and became infatuated with it and nothing else, refusing to allow me the ability to scroll away from it. X.x
