If all hell broke loose right now, what would you do?

Nice but how about a .45 magnum? Fill it with hollow points blow the bastards to pieces. Me I'd prefer an AA-12 turn a group to mist.

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

low velocity +P Hollow points are pretty good. .45 may be an over kill (hehehe) for them though. 9 mil HP rounds are more plentiful in supply and work just as well on a skull since a .45 HP is normally for stopping power due to hydroshock in the human body. .45 high velocity for the behemoths would work, but not HP. You need the round to travel through thicker skin and bones.
These things don't have to worry about organ damage from body shots.
If I had my dithers, I'd carry a shotty with two bandaliers of buckshot and slugs.

The one good thing is that these creatures can be knocked out! So, give me a large crowbar and a machete with someone with a lead spitter at my back and we'd do ok. I hope! LOL

How about a steel bat covered in razor wire and a sledgehammer?

HaveCrowbarwilltravel: Since when can zombies be "knocked out"?

I own all of the following:
Machette
short katana-like sword
Tomahawk made trench knife (very sturdy)
28" Titanium crowbar (Yes I actually have one, not easy to find and was about $100)
TONS of tactical gear vests, bags, pouches etc. (I play airsoft)
I own no real firearms however.

If the shit hit the fan and I HAD to hole up in my apartment, I could do it short term. Very defendable, 3rd floor, good veiw all around the building, only two stairwells that I could easily seal. I'm an electrician by trade and that has required me to do a great deal of carpentry as well, so I have a lot of tools and the know how to reinforce the entries. Water of course would be the first real problem if I had to stay here.

They can in We're Alive.

They can in We're Alive.

not really, even with super strength chloroform the zombies got back up in less than a minute, we also know that nothing short of killing it will stop it as they feel no pain, (riley shot one in the leg wiht an arrow, and it didnt even notice). the only way ur stopping one wiht melee weapons is by cracking open its skull, and getting close range with the zombies from we're alive is not a smart idea.

I forgot about the chloroform episode. I don't think you could knock one out with a physical blow though.

The chloroform may have only been a temporary fix but there was one that wasn't getting knocked out with the chloroform so some one (Michael?) pistol whipped one and he got knocked out. It was even said that it's good to know a good blow to the head still worked. And later Datu asked if they could just hit one of them in the head to knock him out and it was decided against, just in case the blow caused damage.

ur right, but i'd still say its a bad idea to go around meleeing zombies, at least in the we're alive universe anyway. they're stark raving mad, so they'll prly actually be stronger, and faster than you, and because they dont feel pain, unless the hit lands perfectly he wont go down, and in close quarters, one scratch/bite is all it takes, plus i'd say michael got lucky with that, that zombie was just coming around, and michael probably had enough time to position and land the blow perfectly in an actual battle, the odds would be against you.
