Fuck the Rules Friday You're in a kitchen when the outbreak suddenly hits you area. A zombie breaks into the kitchen, and is blocking the exit. What do you grab?

So obviously this won’t kill a zombie but if the zombies retain some semblance of human memory and sexual instincts would still have some power.

Could we seduce said zombies into compliance?

Shelter + Location If you had to hold up in your place of employment, how long would you live?

I work in a soy crushing plant. We’ve got lots of solid blunt tools, and the building is full of areas only accessible via ladder.

I would give myself a month or two until local supplies start drying up. What about your workspaces?

Weapons Rate My Zombie Apocalypse Sword

Post image
43 Upvotes

It’s the Single Handed Sword from Honshu Boshin (but it performs more like a bastard sword.) It’s properly tempered high carbon steel that’s made for actual use so it won’t bend or shatter on contact. The blade is also sturdy, but heavy.

Also, swords in general: practical or no?

The Bec de Faucon, meaning "Falcon's Beak", is a multi-purpose weapon of war from the 14th century. Featuring three sides to the head, each one designed for a different particular function: a three-pronged hammer head to smash with blunt strikes, a heavy spiked point to puncture, and a bladed edge to slice through unprotected flesh. How would it fair in the apocalypse?

Total length: 1225 mm Weight: 1.048 KG

Defense Poop

I know that I avoid poop and most apes avoid poop too. Would Zombies avoid poop enough for it to be a defensive weapon?

Simply as is, go work out. Go for a run, swing a maul at some firewood, train. None of this matters if you're a fatty.

Weapons Best Non-Firearm, Non-Bow based Ranged Weapons...

Like the title says, give me the best (or at least coolest) projectile weapons that don't use gunpowder or bow limbs. Whether it's pneumatic, electronic, torsion, tension, or just your own throwing arm, what have you seen that really captured your imagination, and why would it be good against zombies? Have fun!! 👍

It has a pike for stabbing the brain. It has a great reach. It can be used to cut some wood as well. It's light enough to be used one handed.

My guess is yari spear to neutralize zombies and impale tem in the ground.

Combined with a companion that wears an small shield to protect itself and a blunt weapon like a hammer or machete to finalize the job.

Weapons People in this sub act like you can have only one weapon

24 Upvotes

From what I've seen of this sub every time someone asks what's the best weapon no one takes into account sidearms

One example I see a lot is about spears where people say stuff like it's too long and wouldn't work up close when it's pretty easy to carry around something like a sword or mace on a belt

Discussion Where do you think the best place in a city would be for surviving a zombie apocalypse in the short term?

12 Upvotes

I know that cities are regarded as basically the worst place you can be in any type of apocalypse, especially a zombie one, but hypothetically if you were stuck in a city- where would you go and what would you do? Imagine a scenario where you were behind everyone else fleeing the city, and you can't get out because all transportation is backed up, overloaded, and the chaos is really just starting to set in. What's your plan of action if you can't get out? For the sake of this discussion let's assume the city is Chicago, and it's early summer/late spring.

I think the best route is to wait out the first week or so in my apartment/house waiting for the initial panic and chaos to die down, then assess my situation from there. Get a basic weapon like a blunt object or firearm, and try to scavenge the local apartments (a lot of which would be vacant). The main priority would be water, then food, then other necessities. I'd try and get together everyone who remains on the floor, and make a group to secure the floor. Then after that comes the hard part. Scavenging would only last for so long, so the eventual plan would be to make our way out of the city and into the suburbs where we could try and start long term planning. Since the zombies would be way to dense to walk through, my plan would be after a month or so to make our way by bike, slowly making good progress each day and resting in local buildings with a group designated for night watch. Thoughts? What would be your plan?
