There’s nothing worse than getting caught in the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse empty handed. Tools are key to survival, and especially when your survival depends on a war waged with the living dead. Here is a list of 10 essential items to survive a Zombie Apocalypse.

Better BELIEVE I’d hit that! :D

This is what most of us would actually end up with.

They walked right through a veritable armory of weapons and vehicles last week. I was screaming "The Ma Duece! Grab the Freeping Ma Duece!"

Mrs. L said "Not bad, but did you see that APC over there? Seems like that would be a lot batter than a ratty old RV."

I love that woman....

[DCBryan1]

Laz would probably hit it @ post 101

[Little Bill]

You have to hit what you can get, ugly women meed love also.

Personally, I think all members of the ZPL must own either L4D or L4D2 for practice purposes against them annoying running zombies.

Sorry I haven’t been able to play online with ya, Comedian. I’ve been setting up a dedicated server thing on my home network for my Sons to be able to play. Unfortunately, they’ve been more interested in playing Garry’s Mod these days -which prevents me from finishing the setup.

rotf on that pic :D

1. Zombies attack.
2. You scream, "I'm a democrat!!!"
3. Zombies shamble away.

Cool.

Dude, there isn't a military man in their group. Just a hick cop with a misplaced sense of priorities. The rest of the characters seem to be insurance salesmen and clerks at Orange Julius. None of those people know how to operate a crew-served weapon, let alone drive an APC.

Hell, they've just got to the point where everyone has a friggin' *pump action shotgun*.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Apology accepted. But you still suck. ;-)

On the bright side Season 2 got picked up. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

[CholeraJoe]

I was going to accuse you of peeking in my window to take that picture, but then I noticed the weapons are wrong. My shotgun is a Saiga 12 with a 20 round drum (and a spare) and my evil black rifle is a .458 SOCOM. My close-in weapons are in .44 Magnum or .45 ACP. I have all of the necessary toys listed and some to boot including a propane flame-thrower.

You need a boatload of twinkies for when this guy comes by to save your sorry a$$.

[Lurker]

A machete, don’t forget a machete. Although I personally think a good quality katana would be better. But those things are PRICEY.

“RE: #7. I was screaming “There’s a Ma Duece RIGHT THERE YOU MORONS!” at my TV last Sunday night.”

Bit heavy. I also assume they were empty.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Also, the more plausible zombies (e.g., rage virus zombies) aren’t actually dead at all -— more like people with rabies.

In such outbreaks, head shots are not necessary, but that advantage is somewhat limited, in that rage virus zombies are damn fast and relatively smart/tool using.

[DCBryan1]

Bit heavy. I also assume they were empty. I doubt the refugees know about head space timing either, esp. after a few thousand rounds....

Funniest thing is that my wife picked up on episode 1 "honey, doesn't that tank have a machinegun in the turret"?

....LOL yes it does wife! M240 bump! (and I would have picked up a coaxial 240 before a bag of pump shotguns ;)

I find it sociologically fascinating that in 2n Amendment America, we developed the mythos of the flesh-eating living dead that need a gunshot to the head (or seriously grisly up-close-and-personal blunt trauma) to stop, where in disarmed England, they came up with the 28 Rabies Later mechanism that really just creates a plague of Rage Boys without dole cheques.

Our zombies are slow, dim-witted cannibalistic Democrats, theirs are smart, fast moving Muslims.

That's my take anyway.

I can do that in well under 8 minutes, or used to be able to.
