Zombie survival, FTE style...
#451
I think that While a base camp is a good idea. it seems like being active and hunting for supplies and survivors would still take up most of the time. Who wants to sit around and wait the whole thing out. I think It would make sense to constantly be hunting for supplies to bring back to the base. Gotta find explosives, more ammo and fuel. So I think that we would need a team on the road everyday, although I'd still like to have a place to crash after a supply run though.
Bringing survivors back to camp should be part of what we do. I think it would be kinda selfish to set up a base camp and not do some search and rescue.

A place to gather people and weapons, supplies, fuel, food.

Upon more thinking, do we think ramming zombies and splattering them all over everything is a good idea?
Are shot guns a good idea as well?
If you get just a little bit into your body then you are infected.
I think rifles and pistols should be used first scatter guns as emergency back up...

So zombies splatter? That could get a bit messy... I guess it would depend on the degree of decomposition...
Theoretically, by running them over or ramming them, you'd only get zombie goo on your truck - run the truck through a river or creek to wash it off - can't use the rivers and creeks for drinking water anyway as, by that point, they would already be tainted...
We could maybe get our hands on MOPP gear...
Shotguns don't necessarily require aiming to hit the target...
Neither do flamethrowers
However, it seems to me that rifles and pistols, depending on caliber, wouldn't fatigue the shooter as much as a shotgun would with repetitive use...

decapitation or sever head trauma... pretty much any head or neck trauma that would kill a regular human.

And yes, why did this get moved to the automotive discussions? It's true that we are discussing vehicles, but it seems to me the overall subject of the thread fits the non-automotive forum better...
Which would be why one of those would be my weapon of choice, I never had enough practice with a rifle or handgun to where I'd rely on them to protect mine or someone else's life, but with a pump-action odds are quite against them poor zombies.
I'm sure there will be plenty of those left behind by their military users or in gun stores, just gotta find one. We will have at least one in our group anyways, so if you ask nicely you may have a chance to pop a few rounds with it, as long as its bright pink color don't clash with your man code
So basically put bandages over your wounds, wear goggles, keep your mouth shut, and just blow them suckers to smithereens? Sounds like a plan to me
