What would be your weapon of choice in a Zombie Apocolypse? Also, how would you survive?
Title.
Mine would be a small hammer. The reason I say small is that they are more lightweight, yet still a damn hammer. Because realistically guns, if you're not part of the military or something or can make bullets - guns would not be a great choice.[b] [u]Let's just assume there are over a billion zombies,(if not billions) you're not going to have millions of bullets laying around. Definitely not billions lmao. And the military can only do so much.

You have to keep in mind that this is not a video game or movie. Logic is an actual thing. Although we most likely won't have a virus like this ever, it's quite intriguing to imagine. [b][u]So answer this with a logical answer. Let's pretend this is real. What would you really use as a weapon? And how would you survive if the military was no more?

[b][u]Sidenote[/u][/b]: Random encounters with other human beings would most likely result in something not intended. Most likely.(guess you can just call most people bandits)
[b][u]Here's exactly what I would do[/u][/b]: Get lightweight body armor if I can find it. Lightweight, yet powerful equipment to smash into zombie skulls. Most likely take a stealth approach to most situations. If I can, gather a small team of people for supply runs. And hopefully, start a small community somewhere isolated from the zombies. Slowly rebuilding what we lost. [b][u]Lay down simple rules[/u][/b]: No stealing supplies, everyone gets an equal share daily. No violence, we have enough of that out there. Killing another will result in your own execution. If you go out for runs write down what time you left and why you're leaving.(stuff like this)

3 RepliesThe problem with logic is it's boring and/or leads to a bleak outlook. There are so many things that you have to take into account to even come close to thinking about a logical zombie apocalypse. For example, numbers; first off, as someone else alluded to, the spread of zombies would likely not take place fast enough to overcome the authorities, depending on the 'type' of zombie, and the method of infection. Conversely, let's say 90% of the population of a country did get infected, the humans left are gonna have a tough time, and are very unlikely to survive for very long. Luck will be the deciding factor in the end, and it won't be on your side. The numbers would just be overwhelming; humans would not be able to get rid of them without significant assistance from natural occurrences. And nature would be just as likely to screw over the humans. Next is all the other logical threats that would likely kill you. Other people for a start; there are a lot of bad people in the world, and they would come out on top in a lawless society, at least initially. Why? Because they don't care. They will take what they want, and kill who they want, and do so without a second thought. Good people aren't like that, they'd hesitate, and that hesitation will get them killed. Aside from people, disease would reach epidemic proportions really really quickly once the current controls are removed. Everything we take for granted now would be gone, that's clean water, safe food, medical treatment, etc. Also, animals (wild, previously domesticated, and those that escape from zoos) would be a problem. But ok, let's move on to weapons. The problem here is weapons need looking after. Guns need maintaining to operate, swords (or any blade) will get really blunt really quickly and will need constant oiling and sharpening. Bows need a bit less care, so probably work well, assuming you're good enough with one, which most people probably aren't, myself included; I can hit a standard archery target from 50 yards, but no chance would I hit a moving zombie in the head from even half that distance. Blunt trauma weapons are probably the best call, and more readily available/easy to make - hammers, crowbars, mace-type weapons, etc. Finally, what would I do? First, stay at home. The panic that would ensue at the start of such an apocalypse would be far more dangerous than the actual zombies, so I'd lock myself in and (assuming my building isn't burnt down) wait it out. Then I'd use the railways (where I live, railway tracks are fenced off in almost all areas, so for the most part you've only ahead and behind to keep an eye on) to get to an area with a low population density, ideally an island. After that, do my best to grow what I can, forage for what I can, and generally spend each day trying not to die.
