I want that.

Tigeroovy · #1 07-14-2009, 05:46 AM

I want a few of these spread throughout the house.

Jared Melton · #2 07-15-2009, 07:27 AM

There are no sharp, melee weapons in that case.

Useless.

Richard Dickson · #3 07-15-2009, 08:48 AM

You'd have jagged pieces of glass.

Lima Oscar Lima · #4 07-15-2009, 08:49 AM

True... if there's one thing that zombie cinema, or the books of Max Brooks taught us, is that a sword never needs reloading.

I would find a shotgun to be more effetive in Zombie killin then a pistol. Just have to watch out for all that infected blood splash back.

But that box would make an awesome gift.

Bancroft Agee · #8 07-16-2009, 01:47 AM

My thinking has evolved over time. In a large scale zombie outbreak what good does a gun do you? It gets you from Door A to Door B and that's about it. Try facing down 50 of those things with a Remington pump action and you'll be munching on colons yourself within the hour.

Swords? Good luck when you get that Claymore stuck in some flesh eating ghouls head while the other thirty swarm around you. It's not like you can call a timeout while you sharpen the damn thing either.

A stack of Batman Soundtrack CDs would be helpful in this case.

MoonBaseNick · #12 07-16-2009, 03:12 AM

How about Sade?

Reasor · #13 07-16-2009, 03:14 AM

The pistols are obviously for you and your comic relief sidekick to use on yourselves when the grenades and shotgun shells run out.

Obviously. Gawd!

Master Shake · #14 07-16-2009, 03:49 AM

I don't see any PILLS HERE

Mattioli · #15 07-16-2009, 10:32 AM

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Two words: proton pack.

Timothy225 · #16 07-16-2009, 08:34 PM

Flamethrowers. Homemade gelignite. The gun that shoots 1,000,000 rounds a minute. Pointed sticks. Bacon gumballs (thanks, Anderson!). These form the nexus of my zombie defense plan. They, along with the moat I am currently digging around my condo (and won't the Condo Association be pissed!), as well as my easy access to two supermarkets, two gas stations, a post office and a church ("Holy ground, Highlander!!!"), will keep me and my loved ones safe from any infestation of the undead.

Join me!

ETA: OK, now I want this! A couple of these and I scoff, scoff I say, at any zombie uprising, "Rage" infestation, or if the young punks at the unit down the street from mine start acting up.

Aluminum baseball bat. You're not trying to kill EVERY zombie you see, are you? You just want to knock them aside so you can get the hell away from them.

I agree, but then it comes down to what type of Zombie you are up against. Slow or fast?

Ken Savage · #20 07-17-2009, 10:19 AM

There is no such thing as a fast Zombie.

(sorry it had to be done.)

Judas Booth · #21 07-17-2009, 10:22 AM

Somebody dig up that 'trapped in a mall when zombies attack' thread. I think that we fully covered all of the weapons of choice there.

If you throw in one of those extending batons Ben has on Lost and leave a sword cane laying next to it I'd say your pretty ready.

Richard Dickson · #25 07-17-2009, 10:35 AM

A visit to the garden department at Home Depot should give me all I need.

Judas Booth · #26 07-17-2009, 10:41 AM

Sure, the ammo would run out, but I'd love to mow down a bunch of zombies with 'old Painless'

Evi · #27 07-17-2009, 10:59 AM

Then again there's always the handy lawnmower

yeah, when I started this I didn't think about zombies specifically, I was thinking more of neat things you want..
Thus the name "I want that"

Greg David · #30 07-26-2009, 07:29 PM

I second the chainsaw. Pistols are useless.

Although I have to say that I don't think it's fair to use hordes of zombies as a reason to dismiss the swords. If there are hundreds of zombies in your way, you're goin' down no matter what you're wielding. Just turn around and go the other way.

Anakin's Dad · #31 07-26-2009, 09:07 PM

I suggest investing in a full-body shark suit for the coming zombie Apocalypse. If it's good enough to stop Bruce, it's good enough to stop Fido.

Mr.Crowley · #32 07-26-2009, 09:23 PM

I think I'll stick with my Lobo, thank you very much.

Doc Happenin · #33 07-26-2009, 10:27 PM

A Flamethrower would be great, up to a point. Eventually you're just going to have zombies ON FIRE. And that's about a hundred times worse.

JohnnyZ · #34 07-26-2009, 11:07 PM

Just Carbonite freeze Amy Winehouse. When the Zombies come knocking- hit thaw. Use the gun case emergency box on Amy if needed..

Dead Rising has taught me the usefulness of the bat and frying pan.

And we can't forget the bike with the chainsaws on each handle coming up in the second one.
Could mow down a lot of zombies with that sucker.

Greg David · #37 07-27-2009, 02:01 AM

Of course, if they turn out to be the Rage Virus variant, that changes everything. Getting coated with blood wouldn't be a wise plan. At that point, I'd just invest in an old car with a sturdy hood and a good engine, and get the fuck out of Dodge.

Flamethrowers and chainsaw both require fuel and are both way too heavy. At least when a gun runs out of ammo you can use it as a bludgeon. Flamethrowers and chainsaws are useless when they're empty, which would be fairly quickly.

Plus a burning zombie is more dangerous than a regular one.

Bancroft Agee · #39 07-28-2009, 05:56 PM

I feel after reading this thread a great many of you will not survive the oncoming zombie apocalypse. Rest assured though that those of us who will have used this thread as an educational tool as to what not to do and your sacrifices will not be in vain.

Well, Bancroft, it looks like test time - the zombies are HERE!!!

That's not practical. Zombie's take a long time to burn and they are still active during the process.

also a flamethrower only caries so many seconds of fuel.

Greg David · #43 08-02-2009, 03:12 PM

Anyone ever read Day of the Triffids? In that book, they invent a weapon that shoots out razor-sharp discs that cut whatever they hit in half. I'm thinking that's the ultimate zombie weapon right there.

Eyeball Kid · #44 08-02-2009, 05:20 PM

Again, ammo and size become a concern with a Razorjack.

Look, in any real globally catastrophic zombie outbreak, you're not going to have much fun in whatever is left. All you need is a gun and enough bullets for you and your family.

Assuming a local, contained outbreak, then the fast car option is good if you think you can break quarantine. You might run into military with shoot to kill orders not letting anyone leave the hot zone, though. Here, it helps if you've got something of value to trade. If it's early in the outbreak, you might get lucky. Late in the game, those guys will probably just shoot you and take your stuff. Really late in the game, you gon' git raped too.

Have fun in the zombie apocalypse!

Addressing the original topic of the thread: I want a blu ray player. May e e en a PS3!

Greg David · #45 08-02-2009, 05:33 PM

The PS3 is too light to make a good bludgeon. The 360 is a better choice. Hell, the 360 power brick alone will crush a skull.

OCallaghan · #46 08-02-2009, 05:45 PM

The extendable baton doesn't get the props it should when it comes to tools to help one survive longer against a Zombie scenario. Small, compact and light weight, they are the perfect thing to have on you in case of surprise Zombie moments. Obviously it's more suited for one on one biffo, but if one was to suddenly be confronted with a single Zombie you were not expecting, a quick forehanded swing with an extendable baton could easily take out the jaw of an undead assailant, thus rendering the most dangerous part of it useless. You could carry a couple of these on you at any given time. Fits in your jeans!

Vertically, or horizontally? If it's horizontal, that won't work. You'd just have a bunch of zombies crawling toward you.
