the end must be near
 

i went to stock up on ammo, you know, cuz the end is near and all, and most ammo supplies are out of stock on .223 cartridges. Damn war! Now what am i going to do when the zombies show up? Stab 'em all? The end is near i tell ya. Maybe i should start drinking again...

Bulk up and buy a sledgehammer.

It's crazy out there: I remember when you could get packs of 140 rounds of .308 for 30$, and now .308 surplus is going for a dollar a round. Ammo is scarce because people are buying it and hoarding it, and people are buying it and hoarding it because it's scarce. A vicious cycle. Thankfully I already have some stashed away.

Chainsaw's seem to work.

Well, the way I always thought about it is ammo runs out, stabbing implements don't need ammo. But I always figured napalm would be really effective against Zombies too. It's all about your defensive area anyway. If you're in an urban area like me your pretty much screwed. Too many potential zombies around if your not turned in the beginning yourself.

zombies are make-believe

So do a little make believe and join in the fun of the thread.





Or not.

Get on the goddamn trolley!

I have a hatchet by my bed. Not necessarily related to preparation for the impending zombie apocalypse, but more a gift from my boyfriend to assuage my fears that a homicidal maniac will break into the apartment and kill me (see, I sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door which means that when the killer breaks in I am obviously the first target - so long as he doesn't attack the cats which, honestly, breaks my hear to think about; I mean, who would attack a cat?! A hairless one at that?! They're so sweet and stupid and will most likely greet him when he picks the lock and slides the door open - WHY WOULD YOU KILL A CAT?!).

This hatchet could also be used to fend off zombies, though I would prefer the extended range of a machete.

...you have seen these things, right?

I can come up with a laundry list of reasons :p

The Zombie Survival guide says Trench Spikes work best against most Zombie encounters. However, I like to customize my tools, and find a sawed off baseball bat with some steal through the tip works best for me. I slept with one next to my bed for a period of time to help me sleep better. Come to think of it, I think a plain ol' baseball bat would be the best non-ammo requiring weapon par none.

Ammo prices are getting scary, how are we ever going to over throw the gov. with ammo prices so high?

Bats, hatchets, and machetes are fine and all, but they don't go BANG. That's where the fun in the whole zombie apocalypse is. i mean, when i go down, i want to be spinning in a circle, spurting off rounds with flirtatious abandon, BANG BANG BANG, as the infinite hoards close in to smother me with their primal, gluttonous violence. That's where they hide the heroin.

Sooooooo zombies are coming you say? Hmmm. Well, what about the vampires, werewolves, and mummies? :rolleyes:

*Wipes tear from eye* That was beautiful man.

*adds the penguin to the list*

My problem is this: I have bad aim AND bad luck. The two coupled together will most likely result in my shooting any compatriots that I might have accumulated in this post-zombie massacre, sap my ammo, and then leave my subject to the remaining zombie hordes.

YOU, however, I will keep on my team. Well armed and well stocked.
