Until you run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by zombies.
Exactly.
On a related note, what would be a better defense?
An Army Base, or a Mall?

The mall. Do you really want to live…on nothing but MRE’s?
Super Wal-Marts would be pretty good hold-out areas. Limited points of entry, lots of food, guns and ammo. Sounds pretty sweet…
I really have to read that series. The buzz is becoming too good to ignore.
Also, fellas, there’s one problem with katanas and machetes and whatnot:
What are you gonna do with the head once you chop it off? It’s a zombie. It’ll still be alive and snapping at you. Plus neck muscles and ligaments are pretty damn tough. Unless you’ve got something big and sharp enough it’ll probably take two or three chops just to get through the neck.
Oh my god what have I done?
I make a stupid analogy and spawn a new zombie era of T-Mag.
Anyhow, I have three preferred weapons for zombie killing.
Shotgun. More rounds it can hold the better.
High powered rifle and/or potato gun. The energy of the potato should impact the zombies badly, but not make too much of a mess. Plus it’s easier to find potatoes than bullets if the world is at war with zombies.
Forget the sword. I want a polearm. Preferably a halbred. This would give me about 8 - 10 feet of reach to take out an incoming zombie. I don’t want those slimy things coming near me.
Other things I would want;
A dog! I want a big mean dog that can alert me to zombies by scent.
Prof X. He is a big man. I will hide behind him if the zombies get to be too many.

Yea, and when the dog or Prof. X gets bit, you have a much harder time dealing with their zombie forms.
I wonder what would be worse, a zombie Grizzly bear, or a zombie Professor X?
Is there any kind of armour that is impenetrable by zombies? I would imagine it wouldn’t have to be too elaborate.
What if you had an impenetrable bubble with small holes to get food through, and to swing a sword through? You could just chill and let the piles of zombies jump onto the bubble, and slowly kill them one by one, only breaking when you get hungry.

And when the dog bites a zombie and becomes a big, mean zombie dog, you’re screwed.
Prof X. will be too busy trying to explain that the zombies need to eat more flesh calories if they want to maintain their muscle mass from their first life. Being undead is no excuse for a pre-mature cut phase.
Eat this, bitches!

Just some good leather would probably do the trick - they aren’t going to be able to bite through it very easily.

Yes you do need to check it out - it rocks the shit.
And at least once you cut the head off you don’t have to worry about the body coming after you. Or you could just aim a little high and slice the brain in half and not worry about it at all.

We all know that a zombie epidemic is inevitable. So, in the hopes of saving a few lives, let’s put some thought into what we think the most effective zombie killing weapons would be. And try to stay realistic, we want this to be practical advice.
I for one would never underestimate the efficiency of a good crowbar. Its silent, never runs out of ammo, and can couple as a handy tool. You don’t have the cocky, self-assuredness that comes with a gun, which will keep you moving and on your toes.[/quote]

MRE’s beat human brains any day of the week.
You gotta remember that if you find yourself needing to kill zombies, the world is going to hell at the same time. A handful of guns of common calibers. .308, .223, 7.62x39, 9mm. .40 s&w, .45 ACP. 12 guage.
What I’ll take, from top to bottom:
You want 00 buckshot for the shotgun, and some rifled slugs.

bad news men, snails are already being turned to zombies.

just think what if a some forrest dweling human ate that bird, and then a human strain was formed.
THE END IS NEAR

i choose 2 different weapons 
my sword, 1 1/2 hand long sword… fast, no ammo needed… and very efficient
my dad’s (now mine) hunting composite bow… small but powerful… for… long distance jobs…

They’ve been saying that for years.
I certainly hope it is though.

Are those slow, 10 inches a day zombie snails, or the sprinting, super fast 30 inches per day zombie snails?
Either way, just sleep in a circle of salt and keep a mop at hand to clean the mess in the morning.
