Zombies are a problem, whats _your solution?

I am sure many people have seen a zombie movie and without going into how they might have ended up being everywhere forcing you into the mall or wherever to escape them.

What is your best piece of equipment for dealing with zombies?

I am thinking of getting a quadcopter on the cheap out of Asia. I will have to put most of it together to save money because in North America you can spend anywhere from 5 to 25 thousand on them.

A cheap one would be 900 bucks in North America. They use them for aerial photography or as drones.

So the one I am looking at putting together starts as this and you add your transmitter and receiver and whatever else like stabilizer you want. So lets say for 700 bucks it will carry a payload of almost 1 kg and under good conditions fly for a hour, up to a kilometer away and easily to a couple hundred feet.

So it can spy on where the zombies are, and it can drop things on them. It could maybe even drop something to lure them away.

Knowing where they are and what they are doing, and maybe distracting them or even dropping something like a gas canister on them, without getting near enough to smell them, sounds like a good idea to me.

So whats your solution to the zombie problem?

As many butterfingers I can carry, as many nerve gas canisters I can find(or laughing gas as it also affects nerve cells i think), and my trusty mosin-nagant and I might steal my friend's 1911.

I'll use my sling-shot!

If it was good enough to down a big guy like Goliath, imagine what it'll do to the poor ( yes, poor zombies! ) zombies' heads?

The plus side is that you can use many things as a projectile, if your out of steel balls, that is... ( No pun intended )

You can chop 4 zombies heads simultaneously with that!

There was a program on TV yesterday about a zombie virus being possible. At first I thought it just a show until scientists started to explain how it could happen . There were discussions about how to survive. One was stay home and defend that. Don't just have a gun- what about food water and others supplies.

I am going to hunker in.

Good thinking, I was thinking most people would say their favorite gun and then forget that they will eventually run out of ammo.

I am going for air superiority.

Always have yourself a good melee weapon, something sharp works good, but if you want a satisfying crunk, take up the blunt. Or mix the two. Get yourself a wooden bat, with nails hammered through it

And something for long range, any long barrel rifle will do fine, silence the crap out of it and you'll be fine. Keep lots of ammo. And hold up somewhere, If you're sniping with some sort of rifle, on top of a building would work fine, especially if you're silenced, because they'll never find you!

Definitely check the back seat and the closets. And don't go upstairs and take a shower when the eerie music is playing.

Basically, my survival mode motto is: Use only durable, reusable stuff, if possible.

And with a sling-shot, you can take any zombie down from a respectable distance, and is fairly silent. Which can be an advantage if surrounded by zombies in a big city.

What cheaply made chinese crap are you selling now?
Have the mods caught onto you yet?
When zombies knock, I put candy bars in their buckets and bags and send em off to the next house.
Same as I do with frankensteins and werewolves and vampires Etc.

Oh I think it is possible.

Hunkering in is good unless you have seen dawn of the dead. Where they come right in to the house the first morning before you know WTF is going on. Worse would be waking up beside one. Or your whole family coming at you in the kitchen while you were thinking you were just going to have breakfast and then go to work.

Supposing you could hunker down though and were prepared, sooner or later, you are going to have go out there and get more TP.
Or something. And you know they will be there waiting.

Do they have extreme slingshots or atomic slingshots or you know the real blaster models?

As if.

Good advice except the nails in the bat. Splatter might get in your eye and you might get infected.

I think in most cases a bat would do. You always see them having no trouble just getting through them unless they are in a tight crowded formation packed in and you get trapped.

In Dawn of the Dead one guy tosses a lot of propane canisters and shoots them. That seemed to work.

I would think molotov cocktail would be easy to make and use providing you don't burn your hideout.

You know you toss a molotov cocktail and they catch on fire and run against the wooden side of the building and stick to it.

If I remember well, ammo can be thrown at 45 mph... Must be knocking a bit!

Sling-shot

And this one throws at a distance of 225 yards...

I just thought... was it a sling-shot that David used to kill Goliath?... I'm not sure anymore, LOL.

I did a google search and this came up...
laststandonzombieisland.com...

What kind of zombies are we dealing with? The slow, shuffling, stupid zombies, or the fast nimble, semi-intelligent ones? Each kind would require a different approach.

Butterfingers chocolate bars? How do they work?
