If "Dawn of the Dead" really happened, how would you get military weapons? - GoFuckYourself.com

DarkJedi · 03-19-2004, 10:32 AM

In all these Zombie movies, the plucky band of survivors is walking around with only pistols, rifles and shotguns, and maybe some dynamite and Molotov cocktails. Is there a way to get hold of APC's, tanks, grenade launchers, and other cool military shit? I think if you had an M1A1 tank you could drive around and the zombies couldn't do shit. I remember when that M60 tank got loose in San Diego and nothing could stop it until it ran aground on a freeway median. Do most cities have a military arsenal or something that you could plunder or is it all sealed off behind armored bank vault doors and shit?

Ironhorse · 03-19-2004, 10:32 AM

Local armory, police station.

dunefield · 03-19-2004, 10:34 AM

your imagination is running quite wild today...

tbabe · 03-19-2004, 10:34 AM

not around here. I would have to grab a slingshot and a canoe paddle and hope for the best.

CrazyNakedChick · 03-19-2004, 10:36 AM

if zombies really took over everything it would be easy, you walk into a military base and walk out with what you need.

who would be around to stop you?

sperbonzo · 03-19-2004, 10:36 AM

Every city has a National Guard armoury.....and in the rather unlikely event that there was a severe zombie problem, you could always head towards that with some hacksaws, wire cutters and a cutting torch and get in there, without too much problem.

God, I can't believe I actually replied to this post

DarkJedi · 03-19-2004, 10:38 AM

Does National Guard have the good shit though? I thought only regular Army has all the cool stuff like body armor and Bradley Fighting vehicles. I don't think it would be worth it if the only thing in the National Guard armory was M-16s and stuff.

The National guard has good enough stuff for the zombie killing.

They have Abrams tanks if it's an Armor unit...same with the Reserve centers...you just gotta find one that is in the branch you want.

Want helicopters, air national guard or air cav.
Want tanks, armor units or armored cav.

Uh, yeah.
An APC would do pretty well against zombies. Unless they're the kind that can use weapons.

Especially if you add spiky grille gards and such.

Armored Cars would work, too, with convenient gun ports.

Wow.......ok, I'm going to disuss this.

The National guard has pretty much everything that the regular army has, only a little older. Each armoury will have different things however. Some will house a transporation battalion and only have trucks, for example. Some may be armoured, some artillary, etc..... If you really need to prepare for a zombie attack, I would reccomend that you call the local national guard office and ask what type of unit it is, if it is a combat MOS, like Armour, Infantry, or Artillary, you will be in good shape.

Rob · 03-19-2004, 10:47 AM

I'd just go to some local pawn shops and grab as many shotguns as possible! I'm not going to snipe the zombies, I'm going to hunker down and if they get close they're going to get blasted!

Phoenix · 03-19-2004, 10:49 AM

our national guard building is housing crackwhores and degenerates right now

riosluts · 03-19-2004, 10:50 AM

zombie's do not exist. if they did the president would get hundreds of soldiers and machines to kill em all

Hmmm, I thought the National Guard was bitching about how the regular Army has all the good stuff, while the National Guard units are sent to Iraq without even basic equipment.

CrazyNakedChick · 03-19-2004, 10:55 AM

exactly.

i would stockpile every possible thing from local pawn shops and armories, organize everyone close to me to gather everything they could as well (food, ammo, blankets, warm clothing etc), set up camp in the woods and heavily secure the perimeter.

gather as much high quality reloadable ammo as possible, as resources would be limited. hell, a potato cannon would work loaded with the right mortars.

boobytraps every few feet outside the perim, solar powered motion detection lights, packs of guard dogs, and human guard watches in 4 hour cycles.

oh man......i can't wait to go to the movies tonight, hahahahha.

Zombies can't use weapons. They have no higher brain functions.

Manowar · 03-19-2004, 10:58 AM

If zombies did attack, here in the UK - the nation would be dead in no time , all military bases are sealed off with huge fences and gates, and all type of guns are practically banned. So you would have no protection driving the half hour to the nearest military base and even then have to run in.

Not really a problem for me though, I live 5 minutes away from an Police Armed Response Training Complex, all the weapons you could need in there

Artillery would probably be pretty useless against the zombies. But if you had an APC you could just drive around and ignore the zombies like they weren't even there.

Dead? Fuck that, I'd be rioting up a storm alongside the zombies... I can think of tons of people who deserve a cracked skull. First we'd take out local drunks, then teenagers, then old people, feminists, then all the guys... leaving a shitload of hot zombie pussy for myself. Fuck yeah.

Giorgio_Xo · 03-19-2004, 11:08 AM

Frankly, most Americans own alot of guns.

wtf?

Artillery is the King of Battle, #1 battlefield killer

btw, i spent 4 years as a cannon crewmember on a 155mm howitzer. Artillery fucks shit up bad.

Useless against zombies, like the man said. You would get overpowered and slaughtered before you can even fire..

Hey man, I was 13-B myself! I was first on 8-inch self-propelled, then M-109 155mm self propelled.

A Self propelled howitzer is basically like a tank with thinner armour, turret towards the rear, and a larger gun.....it would work fine for those little zombie issues

DreamCumTrue · 03-19-2004, 11:41 AM

I would go to Nellis AFB and hope they would let me in to hide.

Zombies are patient. Eventually you'll run out of fuel, ammo, and whatever supplies are in the tank and you'll have to come out. Then you'll be dead. After that you'll be undead. A tank is not a good place to be if you are fighting zombies.

axelcat · 03-19-2004, 11:47 AM

It will be survivol of the fittest

CrazyNakedChick · 03-19-2004, 12:00 PM

haha, i should have been more specific.....

typically zombies are slow and dimwitted, it would be easy to sneak onto a base - grab what you need - and sneak back out without being seen by them. snag something too big to sneak out with? mow 'em over with it and don't let the door hit you in the ass.

i meant there probably wouldn't be any "normal"
personnel around to stop you with the typical authorization protocols.

.....and there's nothing wrong with a little role playing now and then...... especially for those of us with very creative imaginations.
