They say cars are the worst thing during a zombie apocalypse. Most people will get trapped on the highway and be sitting ducks.

Also, you are better off with melee weapons seeing as not everyone has access to bullets.

@Ajulutsikael I wouldn’t be driving on the highway. That’s what the 4×4 is for. And not everyone needs access to ammunition… just me, and I have plenty :D I don’t have a picture of my melee weapons, but I have a kukri, a machete, a few hunting/survival/folding knives, and god knows how many bayonets. Guns, for me, are preferable to melee weapons anyway, because ideally, I’d be far enough away from zombies to only have to hack them up as a last resort. There’s no way in hell I’d intentionally let myself get close to or surrounded by them.

Well being that one might hit during a warmer climate, if it was to happen now, decomp will happen quickly. So…no worries.

1. Run.
2. Run faster.
3. Run like hell.
4. Give up.

I’m a lanky teenager completely lacking strength, so if I stay calm and keep a crowbar at hand, I’ll be good. But in all seriousness, it would be pretty cool dying in a Zombie Apocalypse! It’s third on my list of Preferred Ways To Die, actually..

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard I-is that a Mauser? Amongst others…

As I mentioned here before:
Should we have a Zombie Apocalypse we are protected by the greatest Zombie killer of them all: Keira Knightley.
This idea came from my looking at the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Before reading the book, I thought it would be a good idea to watch the original version. Keira Knightley did a version some years back, and I began to think about her interaction with Zombies. If beauty were brains, she would be Einstein, but if brains were beauty, well, she’d be Einstein.
Since she lacks the very thing Zombies crave, she could easily move amongst them, and destroy them.
Arm her with a chainsaw, a BFG-9000, and a scythe, and this girl is ready to rock their underworld!

This kit is still in my car, for the most part.

I need to get around to picking up a Mosin Nagant. Then my arsenal will be almost complete.

Better get one while the getting is good. I remember when you could get them for 60 bucks a piece. Now, they are running $120+. I love mine, but I still want a Westinghouse to go with it.
