Lets have this hypothetical question...

You set up a zombie fortress in a small building in the middle of a small town. A group of bandits moved in. Threatening to kill you if you didn't surrender. Would you use a zombie as a weapon. They are dispensable, Easily led, And dangerous. If you say, caged a zombie and released it at a group of bandits or even just through a noise maker at the looters camp. Would this be ethical?

And How are you going to stop the zombies if some crazy deranged maniac shot up a flare right next to your base. It is something that would probably happen

So would you do this? And how would you protect yourself from this

I wouldn't use Zeds as weapons, they are to unpredictable.

I'd vote no on this, IMO it would take quite a lot (at least 50) of zombies to be effective against attackers. Any lesser numbers would be easily (re)killed by an organized group.

I wouldn't be to comfortable having 50 to 100 zombies just laying around till I needed to use them. More of a risk than an asset

[Krazymouse]

What if THEY just snuck into your campsite and shot up a flair. How would you fight it off because the zombies in at least a 15 mile radius would see it and come try kill you.

I would definitely not use zombies. I would try to talk those bandits over to our side. But the smarter thing to do is kill them and throw them into the incinerator. Less men = more shared!

Zombies probably wouldn't respond to a flare. It wasn't until Land of the Dead that "skyflowers" were introduced, but that movie took way too many liberties with the zombie mythos.

Romero may have written the rules, but that doesn't mean he can change them. Zombies = Dumb and hungry. Period.

Part of making your fortress a fortress is making it appear unwanted or already looted. I would scorch the outside of my place to make it appear already looted or burned to have it bypassed. No use in making yourself appear like a target to others.

Always appear low key. Flying under the radar or appearing unwanted or already used up will be the key to survival.
No matter how many times a WalMart or Sams Club has been rumaged through, someone will do it again because it is a WalMart. Avoid those places like the plague to make your stand.

i think it would attract zombies, because if it moves, its probably edible. Thats the zombies motto

[Victor Clark]

I don't think zombies themselves would be that effective as a weapon against other living bandits, unless the zombies themselves could be used as bludgeons (think Dead Rising). But as guard-zeds, I don't think so.

"I like the way you're thinking, and it gave me a thought too. How about capturing a few, strapping a bomb to them, that has either a delayed timer or a transmitter type trigger, and drop them in to the middle of a crowd of mobbing zombies, then.....BOOM!!!!!!" :evil: :lol:

I think zombies fight each other naturally. What if you were on a chopper and a pile of zombies were beneath you. You drop a small chunk of raw meat and I think zombies would just punch each other out of the way. Zombies are not allies with each other. They just don't attack each other because they are both zombies and not edible. They do not help each other. THe zombie thinks for itself and only itself. (if it thinks at all)
Anyways, back to my point, when zombies fight over the piece of meat, they push the others away to get the meat for itself. Then this turns into a push war where not a single zombie can get a bite because they are just pushed away like the zombies they are.

If you have a very large concentration how about a crop duster plane to douse them with the chemical of your choice?
