Would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

[Judge Magistrate]

I can honestly say yes, I would survive. I have more than enough ways of surviving the zombie apocolypse.

[Lily]

eh, id be one of the first ones dead

love how folk always seem to think they will have an expansive arsenal at their disposal and shit in topics like this, when in reality the majority of us would be well and truly ****ed

All of these ideas are well and good but you could just lock your front door because Zombies couldn't band together to break a front door down or a double-glazed window and if need be lock all of your windows then lols until you need food then you grab duvets and crap and every blunt object in your house wear the duvet then fight your way to your car more supplies and then back in house whilst trying to keep zombehs away.

this guy however, makes sense. Am with you pal

I'd love to say that I could survive a zombie apocalypse. I've certainly done the research what with all the movies, books, and games I've gone through. Not to mention the specialty winter session class that I took on the zombie as a metaphor in literature. All of that for nothing as I'm diabetic... as soon as the insulin runs out, I have to be extremely careful what I eat and when to stay in balance long-term. Just not something I think I could carry on over a couple months.

Yeah that's kind of a bummer ... my boyfriend is Type 1, so we'd have to raid the hospitals in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse lol ... or ration the insulin by eating lees sugary foods.

Ingeneral though, even though i said i could probaly survive, when it comes down to it, I live in Scotland, there is next to NO firepower here, and in the face of a zombie, fear could get the better of me :'(

I would survive because I'm an expert on zombies. I know how they work, what's in their minds(or lack thereof).

[Heartless Angel]

I suppose I'll be the first to actually answer Angel's test question.

You'd go with the bright hallway where you can hear zombies. To some, this may seem like a bad idea, but the reasoning here is simple. Zombies don't just make noises for fun, they don't hold conversations. There is no reason for them to be making noise constantly. Because you cannot hear them does not mean they're not there. They can hear you if you're moving through the area, they can smell the meat, and will attempt to snack on you. Meanwhile, without light, you lose your ability to pick them off from a distance with any form of accuracy, and you lose your ability to detect them before they get too close and start munching on you. The only person at a disadvantage in the dark is you.

I can almost guarentee I'd survive a zombie apocalypse. In fact, I could honestly say any zombies stupid enough to go after me have better reason to be affraid than I do. First of all, I wouldn't be alone. Friend of mine who lives right up the street is as big a nerd as I am, with equal if not superior zombie knowledge and she was on our high school ROTC marksmanship team so she's a decent shot, we frequently discuss our survival plans for the lulz. I'd probably bing my dad too. He and I hunt, we own several firearms and are both pretty good shots (he shoots trap, skeet, and sporting clays competatively, he's an excellent marksman). We have plenty of weaponry in this house, mostly shotguns, few .22 rifles, .22 pistols, I collect knives and swords, and we have reloading components for shotgun shells to last a lifetime, so we're not going to run out of ammo at any point. I plan to fortify my old high school. Easily defensible, cafeteria food and medical supplies on hand, and the ROTC room in the basement would make an ideal saferoom, and it's already loaded with enough non perishable food and fresh water to last a handful of people for months. Also has more cheap .22 rifles and ammo used by the marksmanship team there.

[Alisbet]

Let's see. I would most likely be dead after 10 seconds or so. That's all.

I think the reason we didn't answer the question was because it was plainly obvious what the correct answer was

[Linus Li Lelouch]

I would survive by letting one of the Zombies bite me and pray that my DNA transforms the virus in my body to give me superhuman strength (Alice anyone), and if not then well guess I'll be a zombie.

Yeah that would be pretty kick-ass xD

That's actually something that pisses me off about Resident Evil actually, in the games 10% of people bitten wouldn't become zombies, but in the movie EVERYONE bitten becomes a zombie :'(

[Azuteor]

I think I'd be able to survive for a while. I find the information from the Zombie Survival Guide very useful even though it was meant for laughs. My friends created this game called Chombie Zombie where you and your friends have to find a health kit in order to win while getting past zombies. We usually play inside a friend's house with all the lights turned off and I must say, it gets freaky when you get into the vibe of the game. I consider it training, lol.

With that said, I think I'd do a better job at surviving if I just made the zombies dance to Thriller.

That quote makes you a legend xD

If I was a Godly being up in some other realm, I would gladly pay, and sit back with popcorn to watch this ... classic :')

[Xanatos]

Zombies are slow, and stupid, well, smarter than some people I know, still, I'm fairly certain I would survive a zombie apocalypse, after all I played my fair share of Resident Evil. I'll require right key's to unlock few doors, some gems to open a gate, all which can be found in a police station.

Breaking doors, and jumping over a gate is not an option. Though still in dire situation, I would also read various files which may contain vital information, personal diaries perhaps, which owners while being attacked by zombies chose ink instead of defending, I guess they thought pen is mightier than the sword, or they wanted to help a fellow stranger such as myself by writing down a safe combination. After that I would head to missile launch station from where I would nuke the entire place, I would hide in catacombs, any kind of shelter that can endure the blast, along with other survivors. Our new home would be called the Vault 101, and it would be sealed for at least 200 years until my great-great-great grandson's father finally opens the door and disappears. My great-great-great grandson goes after him, on his quest to find his father he fight mutants, robots, and whatnot, and eventually destroys Megaton. The End.

I've added to my collection. Right now, I can furnish an entire eight-man squad (including myself -- and it could be women, too) with two firearms each. Seven handguns, one sniper rifle, five "assault" rifles (they're not assault rifles, but most people who don't know would call them that), one .22 rifle, and two 12-gauge shotguns.

The only question would be how to outfit them. Do the two shotguns go to the same guy? Do we try to outfit eight with primary and secondary weapons, or do we go with a smaller number -- say, six, or even five -- that are much better armed, each? With that much firepower, do we change our tactics? Do we have to stay in one place, and for how long, or do we have the power to move around more?

I think I'd just sit in my apartment and have fun until I got some phone calls of people who wanted to join me. They could bring some food, we could gather a few people, then make a move from there.

[dimmufan]

I've played a few REs and I've seen all the movies so I'm pretty confident that I would know how to handle myself. I would survive for a short while. Eventually, tho, I would have to take a nap and that's probably about the time the zombies would get a hold of me. Then I would be a zombie and I think my worst nightmare would be my final encounter with Sasquatch. He gonna kill meh quickstyle.

Haha epic xD Love how even though there's a Zombie Apocalypse you'd still be able to be politically correct and avoid sexism. Classic.

Well I wanted to make the distinction that it wouldn't specifically have to be an eight-man squad, just eight people. But either way, I'm a chivalrous guy. Plus, I'd have to keep the bitches around to repopulate, and to make me sandwiches.

Besides, I have a few with very low recoil. For rifles, I have the .22, three 5.56's, plus a 5.45x39. And I have a .22 pistol and a 9mm. They don't really kick much at all, and I'm sure most females would be able to handle them. I've taught people how to shoot before, so I doubt it would be too much of a problem getting them at least familiarized with them.

Not to mention, .22 is supposed to be the most useful round for a zombie invasion. Enough to cause enough brain trauma to kill, but very low recoil, and light, plentiful rounds.
