One Line Survival And Defense Tips

[Leeboy]

Travel in pairs.
Never go unarmed.
Wear protection.
Move as quietly as possible.
Stay hidden.
If someone around you is bitten, kill them.

[kai055]

that seems gd, but i would travel in 3s, have simple but only blades and clubs 9i live in uk), wear protection as im limited to close combat, move when needed, stay cloak and dagger style and shoot anybody even with a scatch from a zombie

[Leeboy]

Sounds efficient to me.

[13hollowpoints]

Don't drink the water
Always look for an adam's apple
If it burns when you pee, get penicilin

Thanks for those pearls of wisdom dad! :drinking:

Also: Stay away from the cities
Avoid alleys
Keep track of your rounds
Dry your socks each day

[PrincessGore]

Um...cry? eep,I'd be helpless. I'm only 5'3 and three quarters though so I'd be pretty good at hiding.So ummm tips...heh. Blast the shit out of em :D!

[Victor Clark]

*Make sure your vehicle is in good running condition
*Never trust a military person
*Always have a melee weapon with your guns
*Only loot what's necessary (except maybe a CD or 2)
*Only kill an infected person if they want to die (and stay dead, I mean)
*And check out every room, shadow and crevice in a place you plan to hold up in

[Slash Maraud]

Prepare Now
Too much is never enough
Failing to plan is planning to fail
Not if, when
Fortify, Fortify, Fortify
Multiple concentric rings of defense
Clear fields of fire
If you can’t use it to kill or eat it, its useless
Never open the door if you hear a sound
Nothing is secure unless you have secured it yourself (this means that the room, building, house etc is not clear of hostiles unitl you have cleared it)

[13hollowpoints]

Don't split up the group.

Don't be the funny guy, the funny guy always dies first.

The slutty girl always dies too, but I ain't saying don't be slutty :)

There's always a zombie behind the closed door.

If you look under a bed for the zombie, he'll be on top when you come back up, so don't look under beds.

[mil-collector]

if you're carrying a six-gun, don't shoot at a crowd of seven.

[mattifikation]

Never, ever, EVER go "down there to check things out."

[rharmelink]

if you're carrying a six-gun, don't shoot at a crowd of seven.

...unless you can line them up like in "Quigley Down Under"...

[mattifikation]

*If you absolutely MUST find out "what's down there," send the angry jerk who thinks he should be the boss to check it out. (He doesn't die until just before the end)

[Leeboy]

As much as I hate to say it, never start making out with a hot girl. You will DIE.

[Augustus Desius]

Keep your blades sharp, and your wits sharper.
When in doubt, shoot it again.
Silence before violence.
Avoid all conflicts.
When avoidence fails, make an escape.
When hunting, always use the right bait.
NEVER enter without a cetain and safe exit.
Stay well nurished and well rested.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I have a list of things NOT to do that would normally be seen in movies and other places. Most of these will probably get you killed faster.

1. Wearing a sword on your back.
No! Even though it is easier to move around with a sword on your back, it is near impossible to draw it from your back. Now I have long arms and I can't do it with my own replica katana. It might work with something that is about a foot long, but not a 3 ft piece of steel.
2. Dual wielding just about anything is a good idea
Again, NO! If you dual wield pistols, swords, even rifles, then you have a major disadvantage to your aim. You are not Rambo! Swords might look really cool, I mean they did it in God of War... but, it is very clumsy and you will die.
3. Go ahead and jump out of that second story window to save your life
I'd rather not. During the zombie apocalypse, you want to be in the best of health. A twisted ankle or fracture can impair your movement and even end your life indirectly.
4. Blow sh*t up!
Okay, but it you want to burn down your HQ and even possible raiding sites, I would think otherwise. It also might kill you!
5. Yell "Die pond scum!" at the top of your lungs!
Yes, it is dramatic and awesome, but you have to realize that a zombie has no idea what you're saying. Intimidation is impossible and all you're doing is attracting more undead to your position.

Any more?

[Faran Brigo]

Most of those are great, got a little problem with 3:

3. Go ahead and jump out of that second story window to save your life <--- Notice it says "to say your life", this implies that the alternative is not saving your life because you might break you ankle... Okay, leaving that aside for a moment, the correct way to do it is to fall on your side and roll with the fall like a paratrooper, they do it in karate lessons, as long as you know what you're doing, have decent muscle tone and you don't try to do it from more than 2.5 mts away you'll be fine. It still hurts though.

Even if you're not, throwing yourself off a second floor window because your house is sorrounded and you see a way out is bad. But whether it should be done or not depends on the alternatives. If the alternative is stay in your house which is quickly being overrun (and you won't be able to fight your way out) or on fire, then I say the broken ankle sucks but it's less of a risk than staying where you are.

4. Blow sh*t up! <--- If you know how to do it and plan carefully this can be a good way to get rid of tons of zeds quickly, protect yourself against marauders or setting up a perimeter. Again, depends on the situation.

5. Yell "Die pong scum!" at the top of your lungs! <--- Dramatic moments are stupid, but the war cry is half intimation and half getting the people with you psyched. If you're doing it just to be dramatic, yeah, it's dumb.

[JakAttak]

f**king machine guns. nuclear weapons I mean jesus.

[mattifikation]

1. Not using the word "zombie." If you can't even face facts, you're just gonna die.

2. Insisting that a zombie can recognize you just because they knew you when they were alive.

3. Not telling anybody that you were bit because you're too dumb to figure out what happens.

I agree that jumping out a 2 story window can be fine, if you know what you're doing. Do a search on the term "Free Running" on YouTube to see what I mean!

[Dave Of The Dead]

The free running stuff is what I was thinking of when I did that post but couldn't think of the name. I've tried that kind of stuff before and thats how I broke my arm the second time. I can see jumping out of a 2nd story window when there are bushes even soft earth to break your fall. But when there is cement, wood, or something like that, I am highly against it.

[Hitman]

machineguns have a very usefull and well defined roll . I plan on using mine should the dead rise.


one that pisses me off is that the shotgun is the pinnacle of firearms for zombies . DOTD'04 comes to mind.

[Faran Brigo]

Uh... would you elaborate on proper machinegun use? I assume you're talking about a light machinegun like the SAW

[Hitman]

Uh... would you elaborate on proper machinegun use? I assume you're talking about a light machinegun like the SAW


either that or something such as an MP5 or M4 . I'll put it this way. would you rather round a corner and have a group of 5 zombies spot you with

#1 - an accuracy international in .338 lapua
#2 - a marlin model 60
#3 - a browning superposed
#4 - berreta 92fs
#5 - H&K MP5
#6 - .50ae 'deagle with da beamz yo

putting rounds on target in a hurry during CQB work is where the smaller machineguns shine.

as for the SAW , think of the part where bigdaddy attacks the base in LOTD and breeches the chainlink fence . one or 2 saws set up on sandbags at head level would have prevented them from pushing the fence down . at a minimum it would have allowed most of the others to retreat to a safer location.

[Faran Brigo]

The MP5 of course. I think of the M4 and the MP5 more as assault rifle and SMG than "machineguns" per se, but I see what you're saying.

[JakAttak]

But Z's would be different heights so it might take out some but not a lot.

[Hitman]

it would takeout more than you think. pay attention to a large line of people sometime . then watch that part of the movie again. its mostly men , of avarage build and height. sure you might clip some in the jaw and others in the crown , there is still alot that will take a direct shot to the head.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I friggin love the MP5. I shot one once and after that its pretty much been a fantasy to own one.

[JakAttak]

I've only shot one in CoD4

[Victor Clark]

I'm sorry, but when did this thread turn to another freakin' gun thread!? There are about a dozen of these threads that just turn into what gun would be the best, and it's pissing me off! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHICH C4 OR M80 YOU WANT TO USE WHEN HYPOTHETICAL ZOMBIES RISE, OKAY?!?!?!?

(Phwew!) Sorry, it's just becoming a pet peeve for me.

Anyway, here are a few cliches I see that are just stupid:
*People wearing basic clothing when fighting zombies - While I can understand why Hollywood would want all their good-looking actors & actresses to be in clothing to show off their physique, it just wouldn't cut it in a real outbreak. Even something like a leather jacket and some tight denim jeans would be better than just an Old Navy T-Shirt and some kakhi cargo shorts you got at the mall.
*Chainsaws - I know these have been discussed in a lot of other threads, but they're also a big cliche in most zombie films. They use gasoline which should be put in a generator or getaway car, splatter blood that can get into the eyes or open wounds and cause infection, are able to get stuck into walls or fellow survivors, and are just too heavy and noisy to keep around at all times.
*Seeing an undead family member/friend and thinking they will remember you - This will not happen! They are dead, and are no longer the people you remember or love. If you see your undead parent, child, sibling, friend or any other significant figure in your life, just forget them! They WILL try to kill you, and they WILL NOT remember you from their past life.
*And finally, Calling the police or emergency services - When people are eating each other, the streets are running with blood, and chaos is ensuing outside your front door, take a friggin hint! 911 has bigger problems than protecting you!

[Dave Of The Dead]

Nice. How could I have forgotten chainsaws?! :doh:

[Hitman]

victor , the problem arises from there being so many gun cliches . anyone that picks up a gun is an instant crack shot , shotguns will remove a zombies head at 50 yards just by pointing in thier general direction , machine guns can't hit a damn thing , then again neither can cops or the millitary . only one person in the army is sane the rest want to kill all the survivors. guns never run out of ammo unless its at the worst possible moment .

[Faran Brigo]

Which reminds me of anothe Hollywood cliché:

Don't shoot someone or something and expect it to fly backwards for a couple of feet unless you're using a grenade launcher.

[JakAttak]

Even if you have a grenade launcher don't expect them to go far... maybe their torn up flesh.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Or even being able to find a grenade launcher. I absolutely love it when the main character finds a bad*ss super weapon that can kill anything... You would probably have better luck finding a wal-mart special 12 gauge.

[Victor Clark]

I understand that those kind of cliches are well used in zombie films (by the way, NICE examples!), but I just don't want to hear anymore bullcrap opinions on what kind of semi-auto M84 or C69 rifle gun would work out in the situation of undead rising. There are already a buttload of other threads that talk about that, and I don't want to hear that banter on one of the threads that's acually original. I apologize if I'm sounding like a jerk, but it's starting to be a real drag on any acual conversation I'm reading.

[JakAttak]

:lol: True they find chainguns and flamethrowers lying around around on the streets.

[Cenobite]

-Always be prepared.

That covers a lot of things.

[Faran Brigo]

Be prepared to do whatever it takes to stay alive, be it eating dog food, putting up with obnoxious people, killing a marauder or putting down infected comrades incluiding members of your own family.

[Behemoth]

Be prepared to do whatever it takes to stay alive, be it eating dog food, putting up with obnoxious people, killing a marauder or putting down infected comrades incluiding members of your own family.
Well, that's fine until it's a member of your family. Probably the only thing hollywood get right, is when they show the know all guy who says " yea we gotta shoot anyone who gets bit, bite=death man". Then his son/daughter or wife gets bitten & all of a sudden it's. "hey man back the f@+* up, i'll blow y'all to hell if yer point a gun at my wife".

[Dawna Of The Dead]

Which is stupid because, excuse me for pointing out the obvious, it makes more sense to protect your still alive family members than to protect the zombified corpse of one family member. Sorry, gramdma, but you're dead now so goodbye.

[Lian]

Don't drink the water

Thanks for those pearls of wisdom dad! :drinking:

This...epic win.

[JakAttak]

yea that's Mexico. Oh yea and zombiefied post-apocalyptic wasteland but come on what's the difference?

[Faran Brigo]

We have good tacos and cheap beer

[Dave Of The Dead]

And spring break...:drinking:

How about this one?
"Don't try and be a hero if it isn't necessary."

I see too many movies or conversations about how bad ass the average joe will become as soon as they are threatened by a horrible monster. I think its bull.

[Faran Brigo]

If you're funny, don't follow the brooding lone avenger. The funny sidekick dies half the time.


Edit: Also, if you got a good but unsavory idea keep it to yourself, if you do have to say it and people are quiet, walk away as soon as possible. Nobody will break the silence with clapping and drive the rest of your group into roaring applause.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Oh, and while taking turns sleeping, make sure you have twice the watchmen when someone who snores is asleep.

[mattdettorre123]

Keep your doors locked- JL Bourne

[Creature]

Ok my list is...
1. Do Not Have A Big Group. You'll be a feast on the move.
2. Never Go to a place with 1 exit.
3. Never Stay in one place too long
4. Get Lightweight weapons and alot of ammo
5. If you see something outta place double check. There are more survivors than you... they might want your stuff
6. Keep yourself busy at all times while barricaded
7. Be sure to check people for bites each time you camp
8. Find 1 heavy duty vehicle that doesn't guzzle gas
9. Be sure you know what your doing.
10. Stay Calm.
11. Make Sure your people have abilities worthwhile.
12. Read This.

[Tripoli]

Three in the head and they stay dead!:guns:

[jagus12]

Just one tip, if you are black, you will never die :lol:

[mattifikation]

Yeah you will. The black guys usually last about as long as the writer/director decide the movie needs comedy relief.

[Gummerfan]

You can never carry too much ammo, unless you're swimming or on fire
There's no such thing as overkill
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
Definition of "Firepower": bullets hitting the target
I don't have to outrun the zombies, I just have to outrun you.
and a couple of thoughts from the Masters:

"Doin what I can with what I've got"-Burt Gummer

[secretcog]

These are all good, and funny too.

I think Max Brooks' "Zombie Survival Guide," is a rather good base to survive an outbreak. Odd this book is categorized as Humor.

[BioWeapon]

As much as I hate to say it, never start making out with a hot girl. You will DIE.

But what if it was worth it??? Your seed may live on (assuming you did more than make out)

* Condoms/Birthcontrol pills + attractive women are vital for prolonging psychological health - after the crisis, the attractive women are vital for humanities survival

-----------------------------------------

* If someone cracks under the pressure, ditch them, --you don't want them loosing it, or hiding in a corner sobbing (probably with ammo the group needs) when the pressure is on, they are a liability

* If someone physically can't handle it/keep up, ditch them, -you don't want their lard arse making you wait at the vehicle to evac, likewise, you also don't want to carry supplies for them, or have them guzzle limited water supplies

* Individual humans are smart and crafty, People are stupid.
- Beware lone survivors, they may be a bigger threat than the zombies to those prepared for zombines
- If someone has claimed supplies, and is prepared to defend them, move on and be thankfull you weren't shot on sight

-recognize in small groups cooperation is mutually beneficial
-Root out "cheaters" and "backstabbers", obey the pact you make, if the group can't trust each other, it will collapse
-Beware being in a large group, a herd mentality may develop and lead the entire group to its doom
- its easier to keep track of 5 peoples health than 50, larger groups carry a greater risk of a security breach

Rural areas= less zombies, more supplies (especially if you can "live off the land")
- many country folk would shoot city slickers fleeing the city on sight in such a case, use cover, stealth, and avoid structures - it may look abandonded and a good hiding spot- but there may be an owner who is just hiding really well, preparing to shoot "looters" or those who may spread the disease - killing fleeing survivors may be justified in their minds as a form of "quarantine" of the infected city.

[Iron Knuckles]

This one goes out to everybody who will "live off the land" Ever fur bearing creature in the woods is safe to eat when cooked after a fresh kill. I don't remember the exact percent but like 80% or something ludicrous of plants are poisons. Rhubarb is my favorite example because the stems are fine but the leaves will kill you.

I know its more than 1 line buts its important!

[woody101]

1 never pi*s into the wind
2 keep your back up against the wall
3 never ever say "i'll be right back"

[bandits1]

"Don't leave home without it."

[superagent23]

um iwould say always pack light and only what is needed
wear leather or kevlar
always keep at least 2 knives or 1 sword on you at all times along with your gun and a sharperner a dull blade is worthless:guns:
keep spare gas with you keep basic medd supplies with you

travel in fives if possible asign each person a position. like medic scout raiding parties and such

if bitten give all items to others and kill yourself far away from said groups

[Gummerfan]

Shoot, move, repeat as needed.

[kiltedninja]

1) Comfortable boots, wear them, love them, make them your friend
2) Never wear jeans in a wet environment(most of the US)
3) Always bring four times as much ammo as you think you'll ever need.
4) Blades don't need reloading
5) If you're not a master of it, don't use a F--king katana.
6) If you don't see it first, look again, it'll be there.
7) One Shot. One Kill.
8) Everyone carries their own supplies. If you can't lift it, you don't need it.
9) #8 excludes vehicles.
10) Murphy's Law, nuff said.

[Rican]

>Always have a silent weapon

>Never ask "What was that?" its a zombie just kill it

If it looks like a rose and smells like a rose it probably is a rose. (substitute rose with whatever you are trying to make a point about)

And you if you know it's a rose and you know you can't kill with it nor eat it, leave it there. Unnecessary flowers are only burden for you.

[J Dub]

man and steel are similar, both are worthless if they loose their temper.

the more you bleed in training, the less you bleed in battle.

two is one, one is none.

check your six.

[kiltedninja]

Always bring a gun to a knife fight. That way you're sure you'll win.:lol:

If you're thirsty in the desert, you're already dehydrated.

Always aim for the head.

[The Voice Of Desperation]

Man you guys are cold :scare:, I don't think I could kill someone just because they got scratched. Well if they were bitten that's a different story. But here's my little suggestion:

Remember they don't feel fear, why should you?

[CAVU45]

When in doubt, empty the magazine.
You aren't Superman (Marines and fighter pilots take note).

[kiltedninja]

I'm cold man, ice cold. Colder than that. :lol:

But seriously.

Your drinking water should be farthest up stream, then your wash water.

Drink water, lot's of it.

Once you've secured your camp, secure it again, then have someone else secure it. You can always miss something.

[homelitexl]

when in doubt whip it out ( family motto)
dont eat the yellow snow
Ford sucks
one shot one kill
let the enemy draw first blood That way its self defense
indecent exposure is not cool
and alluminum will not deflect bullets
armor piercing rounds cant be fired out of a regular gun.
if its twitching shoot it again for good meassure

[Lian]

If it burns when you pee it's time to take some penicillin. :lol:

[kiltedninja]

Watch out where them huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow.

Art of the sword is good and all, but the art of .40 cal is better.

[sk8rmichael]

make shur u have amo its a good idea to have some thing like a 9mm because u can carry lots off amo weras a shot gun you cant cary as much + the biger the round the biger load u got if you see a survivor cheak them for bites if you get bit take out as many as you can b4 you go out or go out with a bang ive always thought about geting a grenade and going out like in i am legend and i know that movie isnt a zombie movie but still :evil: going out and taking as many as i can >;]

[Birdman44]

If you can shoot it, then shoot it! Don't waste time trying to rambo it with any melee weapon you could just get yourself bitten.
And when your thirsty, drink until your not thirsty, then drink some more.

[mattifikation]

Using dish soap for lube will just make you have chapped junk.

[Xombie11]

if it's dead aim for the head if its alive aim for the groin!:evil:

[DarthJoe8]

Never go first...:scare:

[hotlead]

You aren't Superman (Marines and fighter pilots take note).

:lol::lol::lol: That's the best one so far.

[CAVU45]

Never buy the A model of anything.

A sucking chest wound is natures way of telling you to slow down.

What can be seen can be hit. What can be hit can be killed.

The bursting radius of a hand grenade is always one foot greater than the distance you can jump.

"Earns the spurs!"

[kiltedninja]

Pain is nature's way of saying you're stupid.

If it woulda been a snake, it woulda bit you.

[kiltedninja]

nuff said isn't a one line survival tip mate. :lol:

Always bring extra batteries, four times as many as you think you'll ever need.

Replace the word batteries with ammunition, and you have another tip.

According to every single survival expert in the world, don't wear cotton.

[homelitexl]

listen up you primitve screwheads this is my BOOMSTICK!!!!

i want chicken i want liver meow mix please deliver.

so we meet again mr bond.

[Ironzey]

You folks are really macho.

Shoot 'em in the head.
One shot one kill.
You can never have too much ammo.
If it's dead shoot it in the head.
You guys should write for the movies.

Here is my original contribution.

"Guns won't save your live, being smart will"

I wouldn't be so quick to kill, kill and (re)kill. If I had to I'd kill but guns are noisy and I'm no ninja chop master so I'll leave all the unsesesary fighting to others.

[CAVU45]

I'll leave all the unsesesary fighting to others.

"The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

If the measure of ones life saving ability is based on how smart they are, and how smart they are is based on their grammar and spelling, then I don't think you'd live too long.

Maybe he's a wiz in math.

[CAVU45]

*L* Possible. So he can do calculus while he's getting his ass chomped.

[thanos0341]

Wear tight fitting clothes & cut your hair extremely short, so the zombies can't grab you by the clothes/hair.

Stay fit by doing PT daily. A fat body will make you a gourmet meal for the dead.

Clean your weapons daily.

When you can get some Z's, wear earplugs so their moaning doesn't drive you nuts.

[mattifikation]

Lights out at nightfall.
Clean your gun.
This is the real world, where AK's can jam and AR's can miss.
In one year, there won't be a power grid.
In two years, there won't be any gasoline.
In five years, the batteries will be dead.
Before it starts, figure out where your power's coming from.

[kiltedninja]

Learn to brew liquor and beer, so you can get drunk if you choose.

Bring toilet paper, and find an alternative source of ass-wiping.

Having a good sense of humor will be more helpful than you can imagine.

Keep a journal too, it's a good thing to have.

Don't type words that have a lot of "H's" in them and break your H key.
(the above is a personal problem, but helpful as well, and applicable to other letters/characters.)

[zombie2x4]

Dont be to hasty to check things out
If he/shes got a bite mark...blast 'em
Stay low and quiet
Its not always best to shoot
Dont trust anyone people lie

[CAVU45]

This is the real world, where AK's can jam and AR's can miss.

Blasphemy!!! AR's don't miss. People miss.

[kiltedninja]

Blasphemy!!! AR's don't miss. People miss.

Just like pencils don't make spelling mistakes, they're just a tool, how could they possibly miss on their own?

Anyway, back to survival tips.

Don't get caught with your pants down.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot, it hurts.

Always breathe, you control your breathing, you control your heart rate.

[CAVU45]

Stupid is a learning tool. It should hurt.

[sk8rmichael]

learn to live off the land and you wont have amo forever just like every thing else it runs out

[kiltedninja]

When you think that there's no possible way that it could get worse, it will.

smile, it makes your butthole tickle. :)

[mattifikation]

You can't tell me that you don't know anyone who thinks they'll suddenly have the ability to make headshots if they switch from an AK to an AR.

You simply can't tell me that... with a straight face. And if you can, get yourself into the world of professional poker. I hear the idiots at ESPN consider it a sport, now. :-)

[kiltedninja]

My dad doesn't think that, but it's because he's shot both of them.

let me rephrase this for you;

you can't tell me that you don't know any civilian that thinks that switching from an AK to an AR will instantly make them get headshots.

[joerrrrrr]

Don't panic.

[Nameless1]

Look before you squat.

Always take a gun with you.

[kiltedninja]

Never turn around, because when you do, there's a zombie behind you.

look into the hole before you enter.

[sk8rmichael]

count the bullets in your clip when you shoot one count down from the number u have in you clip till u have one left and put in a new clip as for a auto gun >.< its a little harder to count than a pistol

[CAVU45]

count the bullets in your clip when you shoot one count down from the number u have in you clip till u have one left and put in a new clip as for a auto gun >.< its a little harder to count than a pistol

*sigh* Magazine, not clip. An autoloading handgun or "auto gun" is a pistol, and is no harder to count than a revolver for those who don't rely on their fingers to do math problems. :x

Always keep a full magazine in your weapon.

[sk8rmichael]

no im saying as in auto gun like a m16 for example or a m4 when you are shooting full auto its much harder to count and i say clip because its Easier than magazine and basicly... there both the same thing -.- just the way people prefer it and im not retarted -.- i know what a pistol is i know alot about guns my family hunts so yea :lol:

Okay. That was damned near incomprehensible. Clips and magazines are two entirley different things. Clips feed magazines. Counting rounds on full auto isn't hard actually when one uses discipline in fire control.

Then say Assault Rifle, not auto gun.

[kiltedninja]

Never go into combat with zombies naked.

wearing wet underwear causes chafing, go commando, or wear a kilt.

[Captain]

Dry your socks each day

Best piece of advice Ive heard yet. People undermine the need to maintain clothing and travel gear.

[Birdman44]

When in peace, keep the bullets out of your mag to prevent wear on the spring.

[L3M0N]

ALWAYS look over your sholder

if its not food water or a wepon U DONT NEED IT

there's always something there
aim high, between the eyes
food shud b canned
bring a can opener
stik together
the enemy of my enemy is my friend
theres a difference between smart & wise
act on instinct of common sence and better judgement
i know its kinda gross but its a good idea to wear something like a diaper so u dont waste time going in a bush where a zombie will eat u, or in the heat of battle.

[L3M0N]

man, why the fúçk would anybody do that? thats just plain retarded. :drool:

[CAVU45]

When in peace, keep the bullets out of your mag to prevent wear on the spring.

It's much better to rotate magazines loading and unloading them on a regular schedule. The springs need to be 'exercised' or they become useless.

One thing I don't remember being mentioned is a having a spare parts kit for your weapons and magazines.

[CAVU45]

Yeah, I was trying to fit it in one line, figured that'd be the way to say it. ANd plus one on the spare parts for them, Either that or get 2 guns of each :evil:

[FFG]

Unloading mags or rotating rounds to exercise the springs is a mistake.

Magazine springs are at rest either compressed or uncompressed. It is the change back and forth between compressed and not that puts wear on springs.

A couple years back an MP-40 was found when a Dutch building was renovated. This included a mag that had been loaded for over 40 years. It worked just fine.

[Bob]

I have heard both about springs.
I have also had a spring snap in a mag at about the 20th time it was loaded.
Spare springs are important especially if you don't have many mags.

[FFG]

If you do a google search for mag springs and wear you will see post after post stating it is the state change that wears on a spring. I realize these are just opinion, but the overwhelming majority I have read agree.

That 20th use break must have been frustrating. I have never seen a defective one like that.

[mattifikation]

I would imagine that changing the state repeatedly would weaken the strength of the spring itself, while leaving it compressed would slowly cause it to lose springiness by bending it into the compressed state.

But I am no spring doctor, so I should keep my spring opinions to my spring self.

[hightechredneck]

always plan on the worst happerning, and all your suprises will be pleasant ones
make sure youre secure before you take a bathroom break
make sure you have a spare weapon and ammo

[FFG]

That is what I thought as well. That a holding a spring compressed must weaken it. However almost everything I have read tells me I was wrong.

I have taken to leaving magazines loaded all the time. So far I have seen no problem due to this.

[Darkness]

"Please take the Random Gun Talk to a Gun Topic Thread. This Thread is for Short One Liner Survival Tips. Thank you." :naughty:

[mattifikation]

We were discussing whether or not somebody's tip was actually a good tip or not. Tips are useless if they're bad tips.

[kiltedninja]

Like my tip about nude zombie combat. Common sense is also necessary.

Anything worth shooting once is worth shooting again.

[Bob]

Always have spare springs for your mags.

Always have a spare spring for Bob's mags too.

It was frustrating that mag was $50.
Now I have to send the whole thing to some God forsaken place to get it replaced they won't send me a spring.

[FFG]

In one line or less, what make of mag should one avoid as it costs $50 and might break during the initial wave of zed?

[MallNinja]

When running ARs use HK or magpul mags when smoking zombies.

Anything worth shooting is worth immediately and repeatedly shooting in the head.

Your heart is the enemy of your mind.

The fastest reload is another gun.

[Bob]

When clearing a building of ZED a high cap pistol is better than a battle rifle.

[CAVU45]

When running ARs use HK or magpul mags when smoking zombies.

Anything worth shooting is worth immediately and repeatedly shooting in the head.

Your heart is the enemy of your mind.

The fastest reload is another gun.

C-Products makes good AR mags with the Magpul no tilt follower.

[FFG]

Try to keep at least one person in your group that is slower than you in case running is required.

[CAVU45]

When in doubt, empty the magazine.

[Jimmy]

Kill all twitchers.

[Dave Of The Dead]

There is rarely a safe time/ place to get wasted, so take the opportunity when presented... but not too much.:drinking:

[CAVU45]

Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.

[Bob]

Kill them all
Let God sort them out

[CAVU45]

If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid.

[Captain]

Don't let emotional attachment obstruct your survival. Ever.

[mattifikation]

No matter what a stripper tells you, there's no sex in the champagne room.

[homelitexl]

dont eat the yeller snow
dont pee on a light socket
dammit boy dont stare at the sun
and buyer beware

[kiltedninja]

In the desert, thirst is the first step dehydration.

Survival is about kill or be killed.

Don't trust stupid people.

[Sammo909]

A potential ally is also a potential traitor.

A book can keep your mind sharp, or if need be, your arse clean.

Sometimes you have to work with people you don't like.

The best place to store water is inside your body.

It's safer to learn from other's mistakes than your own.

Never eat the last piece of chocolate without asking your girlfriend.

[kiltedninja]

Never take a man's last pop tart.

5. Yell "Die pond scum!" at the top of your lungs!
Yes, it is dramatic and awesome, but you have to realize that a zombie has no idea what you're saying. Intimidation is impossible and all you're doing is attracting more undead to your position.

Any more?

Are you sure about zombies not being intimidated considering they dont exsist.

[CAVU45]

Are you sure about zombies not being intimidated considering they dont exsist.

If they don't exist then it's impossible to intimidate them, so Dave's point remains valid.

[Birdman44]

Are you sure about zombies not being intimidated considering they dont exsist.

You make a good point, plan for the worst, hope for the best. I plan for screaming not to intimidate them, but I hope it does when they come :lol:

[bandits1]

Are you sure about zombies not being intimidated considering they dont exsist.
Still, probably not a good idea to scream at the top of one's lungs with 10404923 flesh-eating zombies hanging around.

And yes, kiltedninja, Pop Tarts rule all. I've concluded that Kellogg's Pop Tarts > Pillsbury Toaster Strudel. Both good, though.

[homelitexl]

when in doubt whip it out
use the force
lock and load
coach wants pancakes-(dance of the dead)
if your ever lost follow a possum because hes goin to the road to get run over- ( my dad):lol:

[Birdman44]

Keep it clean and oiled.. Oh and your gun too :lol:

[ZomCom]

Don’t carry a 9mm or .45 or Ar-15, and especially any gun that uses .308 ammo.

This Sunday’s LA Times reports that fear of the new President limiting gun rights (unfounded and overblown, BTW), have cause a huge run on guns and ammo. The most popular weapons and ammo have flown off the shelves (and doubled in price) and are hard to find in quanity. Stands to reason that if the Zombie Apocalypse happens and everybody else is looking for the same ammo type, it will be scare.

[kiltedninja]

Our Good Fuhrer already knows he can't get rid of guns, he's admitted that.

Load your own ammo.

Always aim for headshots, except in a fistfight there's usually better targets.

That's very self limiting to drop those calibers in weapons selection, seeing how those are among the most popular.

Fears of limitations on 2nd Amendment rights are hardly unfounded. This administration hasn't said it wouldn't leave gun rights alone, simply that it couldn't pass any legislation at this time. big difference. Ammo and gun prices are starting to come back down to reasonable levels again.

You could also argue that if everybody is using the same type of ammo, that it will be easier to find. A lot of gun owners are going to be getting eaten come z-day, and they'll leave behind all their ammo.

[Bob]

When I read the article, I thought is was really counter-intuitive, from a zombie outbreak point of view.

My other tip would be NO hoarding. Leaving some ammo for your neighbor might save him from becoming the zombie that gets you.

[mattifikation]

So by not hoarding, you prevent that one neighbor from turning into a zombie but you're down a few thousand zombies you can take out before they get you?

[Carl Sieberhagen]

So by not hoarding, you prevent that one neighbor from turning into a zombie but you're down a few thousand zombies you can take out before they get you?

Hopefully the neighbor will make good use of his life and take down some zombies as well :guns:

one person=same skill more ammo
two people=half ammo ,different skill but double the rate of fire
etc.

::so I would do the same in trying to split the ammo

[ZomCom]

So by not hoarding, you prevent that one neighbor from turning into a zombie but you're down a few thousand zombies you can take out before they get you?

OK, we're talking a fanciful event here that no rational person believes can happen. But, let’s apply a little logic from what we can project from the genre. Do you really believe you are going to take down a few thousand zombies? Over what period of time? Twenty-years? That means you are sitting on thousands of rounds of ammo for years while others are dying from lack of ammo. Ditto medical supplies. You die of cholera because you hoarded, and others got sick.

I have seen that ring in other defence forums countless times and I would just like to say it would be about as effective as a bb gun on a normal human

[kiltedninja]

Coming from someone in the UK, I don't think that statement holds much weight. A shot in the face with a .22 is still a shot in the face.

[slayer1222]

It is fare to say I have never shot a real gun so have no personal experience with real guns but I have spoken to countless people that own that ring and that is what most of them said

[kiltedninja]

I've seen, up close and personal what a .22 can do, my friend has the scars to prove it, and I'm the one that had to carry his ass to the hospital.

So, back to one liners

Never carry your friend three miles when he outweighs you by fifty pounds

Yes I was gonna bring it up my self and I am in no way a expert on ring guns but I spoken to people that own them. And I will try and dig up the old thread on it in a few defence forums and stuff like that

Guns. Because diving for cover while swinging two swords doesn’t really work.

We used it in my karate class, that was their justification for the twenty man Kumite "You'll probably never fight twenty people alone, with only your bare hands, but in terms of the training and endurance, it's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it" I never completed the twenty man, but I did a twelve man.

Back to tips.

If your instincts say so, shoot it.

[Leeboy]

Don't shoot at what you can't hit.

[kiltedninja]

If it twitches when you poke it with a stick, poke it again, it isn't dead.

[CAVU45]

Don't shoot at what you can't hit.

Unless you're shooting at raiders which of course then you're shooting to keep their heads down while you make good your escape, because we don't talk about killing living humans on this board even if they are religious. Which leads me to the next;

There are exceptions to every rule. Be ready to deal with them.
