[UNDEAD FRED]

This thread is a simulated scenerio to test your survival skills in a zombie post apocalyptic world.

You are in a elevator clearing a building. or going to rescue survivors, or looking for supplies. The door suddenly opens when you get to your floor and you are attacked by zombies.

What weapon/weapons would you want in your hands to destroy them?

Which zombies would you take out first? and in which order?

or would you join the ranks of the undead?

[blacknirvana]

I'm by no means a weapons expert but i would think some short of handgun would be the best option in such a small space. But since I have actually never fired a handgun i would most likely just end up shooting myself in the leg or somthing and then join the undead :)

[J Dub]

i'd prefer a saiga 12, or a sbr ar15/ar10 or a socom :evil:

eta. oh yeah, i'd start up front and work my way back:)

[Archano]

I would dispatch them all in one fell swoop with the mutation that allows me to create and manipulate electricity that I apparently possess, do to the fact that I managed to operate that elevator with it.

Preferably some sort of semi-automatic shotgun. Hopefully It'd be able to push them back, or even kill them, allowing me to escape.

[Landrik]

Definitely a SAW 249. I'd say 240B but it'd be sloppy. There's no need to pick your target priorities.

[XLR8MooP]

Ok lets start by flaws in said scenario. Why would you use an elevator stairs are there for a reason, Where did said electricity to power said elevator come from? I would hope to think most people are not stupid enough to use an elevator where there is no exit, small space, only one way in or out and you cannot see what is behind the door until it opens. The smartest choice would have been to avoid using elevator and mow down zombies from the stairs :D

But in said scenario I would want a shotgun such close range should demolish zombies and hopefully the initial shot will blow a few of them down to give you more time.

Sorry. I simply can't play a scenario whos premise makes absolutely no sense.

[UNDEAD FRED]

Sorry if people think there are flaws in said scenerio. Remember there was power to the malls in Dawn of the Dead 1978, and 2004 long after the world went south. Besides it was the only visual aminated gif I could find that I thought would make this thread intresting.

Lets just say you are comming out of a stairway, and are being attacked by 5 undead cannibals.:doh:

This gif is from Dawn of the Dead 1978

That's why I warranted with a completely unrealistic reply.

[ZedHunter]

What weapon/weapons would you want in your hands to destroy them?

Probably a saiga. If I ever buy one, I'm going to use that.

Which zombies would you take out first? and in which order?

The ones closest to me.


or would you join the ranks of the undead?

Probably. I'm pretty stupid. I'd fit right in.

[Vorpal]

If i'm allowed any real weapon, i'd have a gatling-style gun mounted near the back of the elevator. :machgun2: Posted M134 first, but that need an external power source which i probably wouldn't have.

OK, i think i found what i was looking for... a M240(B/G/L) medium machine gun. I think y'all get the idea...

9mm subgun , middle ground on the ROF (between 700 and 900rpm ) . sweeping moiton from left to right 2 controlled burst . bad thing is you'll probly miss the chick and have to pick her up on the second burst . good thing is thats where the first burst will leave your muzzle , just above her noggin . I'd want a good brake on it such as the one thats on my M11/9 or something like the cutts .

A shotgun may sound like a good option but the muzzle rise and slower follow up shots make that a bad one in such close quarters , esp with fast closing staggered hight threats . at that kind of diastance even a 8" barreled 12ga will still be putting a solid lump of buckshot into each target . remember 1" of spread per yard for a loose rule of thumb .

a top subgun shooter would probly have a 60% chance of ending up walking out that doorway without a bite .

best option would be a straifing burst from left to right taking out the black guy, center guy , and back/right guy , while side stepping to your left . take the buttstock of your subgun and strike the chick in the back/side of the head and body check the guy on the far left/ back as you exit the small enclosure as fast as possible . turn around and finish off as nessasary.

Why controlled bursts? Wouldn't the chance of survival increase without the control?

nothing good would come from lack of control . you only need to put out as many rounds as nessasary . any more than that and your waisting time that could be spent shooting the other threats . its also hard to move from target to target while the gun is firing unless its in the direction of natural rise , which is from lower left to upper right .

I see. My view on it is that since head shots are necessary for a kill, it'd be easier to turn them into swiss cheese. In this scenario, we can easily see the five zombies and say how we'd like to pick them off. If this was real, we wouldn't know how many would be stepping through, and at what heights. A zombie kid could have a decent chance of slipping through. By unloading on them, and turning them into bloody pulps, there'd be a greater chance of survival. Head shots wouldn't be necessary at that moment since my objective is to cut them down and stop them from approaching.

[kiltedninja]

I'd probably have a shotgun. Not that they're the best, but they're really common around here, and so is ammo.

I'd take Saiga with buckshot in it, I can't say how I'd aim since if I was there I'd have one big adrenaline shot right as that door opened. Ideally though I'd like to take out the two who are closer, probably the one on the right first.

[CAVU45]

Ah, fvck it. I'll have a mounted M2. Won't matter whether I make head shots or not. Those slugs will leave zed bits scattered all over and any remaining heads with a WTF look on their faces.
