I am very curious to know what /k/ would use in the zombiepocalypse. What would actually be best? I always thought that the writers for the show had a lot of missed opportunities for /k/ino guns, gear, armor and weapon concepts both from history and modern times they could have applied to the show. A lot of stuff just felt like it was missing. Every time there was an actually big faction it seemed like they didn't equip their grunts with the most effective choices. Keep in mind, it would still have to be things that you can continue to use well into the future. There is no military supply chain in the zombie apocalypse unless you are with an utterly gigantic group of survivors.
>>64693730Assuming it's a fantasy disease that keeps them alive somehow for years and years, but they're dumb as fuck, just dig a trench and play recordings of people talking to draw them into it, literally keep the dirt from the trench nearby and then once they're in the trench bury em with it. Shoot stragglers that go around the sides, it's not hard.Also does anyone else fucking hate the concept that the military would be somehow destroyed, but the fuggin, IT specialist, farmer John, random coma cop, and pregnant mother survive? Fuckin retarded, TWD is absolute dogshit in more ways than just the guns being shit.
>>64693794>Shoot stragglers that go around the sides, it's not hard.Wouldn't want to do that at your main base, unless that base is super fortified. >the concept that the military would be somehow destroyed, but the fuggin, IT specialist, farmer John, random coma cop, and pregnant mother survive? I think it is really weird how the story doesn't feature very many veterans or former/current military until the very end with the Reaper faction and they are firmly planted in the plot as villains. Competent, dangerous, intimidating and terrifying villains, but villains none the less.
>>64693815>Wouldn't want to do that at your main base, unless that base is super fortified. You asked what I would use, I'm in the military, this is what I'd use, my "main" base would depend on where I'm at because I'm not a larper. We'd fucking butcher every single zombie with almost no resistance. There would be pictures of soldiers holding pickaxe handles and OE254 poles between their legs like huge fake dicks poking the retarded ass zombie stragglers for fun, and it would probably cause some kind of scandal like we wouldn't be taking it seriously. Which...we wouldn't take it seriously.
>>64693730Something I've always thought was very ambiguous is 'how much of the brain needs to be destroyed?'Will a small bullet hole be enough damage?Decapitation usually kills them too, but what exactly needs to be severed? If there's a skin flap still attaching the neck then is the zombie alive? Or is it the spine that needs to be disconnected? Well in that case breaking a zombie's neck should work.
>>64693824>I'm in the militaryYou would run out of ammo. Shit you would run out of ammo whether there was zombies or not. Big boy. >depend on where I'm at because I'm not a larperWe are talking about a fictional TV show here. There is cool weapons in it and you are intentionally avoiding answering the primary question of the thread. However, don't take this the wrong way. I appreciate your participation.
>>64693831The way it always looks is that if the brain is damaged even slightly, the protective sac that the virus creates to maintain the brain is ruptured and that rupturing immediately kills the zombie in question. Walkers in the show have been killed by what amounts to essentially prison shivs.
>>64693840>You would run out of ammoSource? Hard to find the exact number but I've seen figures that the US military has enough ammo to basically kill the entire US population 5 times over. Which, wouldn't be a thing if the US pop was fighting back as humans would obviously, which zombies aren't really.>We are talking about a fictional TV show here.It's a shitty show, I reject the context of your dumb show because it's dumb, and since we're arguing fantasy then I'll just say my group size is 2 millionish people. Choke on that jew hider.>There is cool weapons in it and you are intentionally avoiding answering the primary question of the thread.I addressed the tactics, I'll answer the question on weapons, small arms at close range used by the US military. That would be best, save ammo by luring them to pits, trenches, holes, whatever you can bury them in for free, or at least the cost of some gas, and take close range shots of any zombie that gets near you. Slowly back up in your vehicle shooting them, if there are obstacles or rough terrain that could impede your vehicle, play more human talking noises to lure them out of forests and shit. Zombie shows are fuckin gay and retarded and are for larpers to imagine their family and close friends using their neat variety of logistically dumbfucked loadouts.
>>64693730Welp, anyways. Here we go. Zombies definitely can't bite through chain mail, but maybe you still get infected because your skin gets pinched between the links when one of them tries to bite. So, what you could do is wear a gambeson under the chainmail. However, gambeson and chainmail are not COMPLETELY suitable for fighting other humans. You'll want some plate armor on top of your chainmail as well. I do think the very best load-out for fighting zombies at least, is that of the medieval knight. However, I do think that the weapons used should be specific. You need energy efficient weapons, since you could conceivably have to fight a thousand zombies in one day. So maybe a spear made to be long and lightweight? You would want long, light weight and ultra durable. I could see an arming sword be useful as a side arm for sure. I don't at all think that it makes sense to use guns to fight the zombies, since you'd want to save ammo and guns for other people you might run into with those same weapons that could be hostile. You would want to save that resource. Never understood why, in the show, they defaulted to regular bow and arrow instead of crossbows. Many characters had to have the knowledge of how crossbows work, anyone can build one if they have some basic tools and they aren't too expensive to make. Hell, even muskets or a blunderbuss makes more sense as a primary weapon. Especially if you have a blacksmith and some way to make black powder from scratch.
>>64693933>maybe you still get infected because your skin gets pinched between the links when one of them tries to bitewho the fuck is wearing chainmail on bare skin?
>>64693730Motorcycle riding gear, police riot gear, hockey and lacrosse pads for walkers. Guns and whatever Kevlar you could get your hands on for living people.People would probably wear a plate carrier with arm guards and hard knuckle gloves if they wanted the best of both worlds. >>64693840Bro there is like an estimated 50 billion + rounds of ammunition just sitting around in the continental US. The country produces and sells about 12 billion rounds a year. No one is running out of ammo.
