Zombies

[TikindiDragon]

The walls at my home are fairly decent. A zombie couldn't bash through with fists for a bit but a nice swing of a crowbar could put a nice hole in it.

 

 

As I said over and over. Even if you NEVER plan to do it having the option is a GOOD thing.

You should try the kind of walls we mostly have in the UK. They're all made of brick.

[RheaZen]

Options, huh? Might as well keep scuba gear around too.

 

Yeah, where I live the walls are pretty sturdy. If they weren't, I'd relocate - solid walls make a better barricade.

Really? Damn. Well I live in the U.S and quite a few are made of wood. The only buildings I usually see made of brick are schools.

 

Scuba gear isn't a bad idea. Zombies can't swim.

O_o Where do you live?

 

As for that comment... there is only facepalm.

[Qwackie]

It takes a lot of force to break oner of my walls... My brother got angry and punched one, and it only made a dent. A dude on the football team, defense, and only a dent.

I go a lot of chairs and stuff in my room, and a flag pole that can but used as a weapon. My pantry is can heaven, I think my house would be really safe.

Think.

[honeytea]

I think I'd keep a gun, crowbar, and knife at hand.

Just keep the crowbar and knife in make-shift sheaths until they are needed.

[crazywargod]

O_o Where do you live?

 

As for that comment... there is only facepalm.

Most houses where I live are made of wood and drywall. The exterior has a thin layer of bricks but the houses aren't made of them.

 

 

Zombies can't swim. So why not take scuba gear? For your comment there is only facepalm. It is simple logic. They don't have the mental capacity to swim. You don't swim by kicking rapidly and wildly as a zombie would. If they are the dead stumbling kind they wouldn't kick at all.

[RheaZen]

Aaaand what's to say they ARE the dead, stumbling kind? What if they're the more active zombieland kind?

 

The facepalm is just because of, well... I mean, why would you lug all that scuba gear around? Really? You're being extremely impractical.

not to mention, scuba gear is only useful until the air runs out, because i don't think you'll have the facilities to make more compressed air when zombies strike

I explained that. They would kick spastically and would go nowhere but down.

 

 

 

As for the scubasuit. It is all about planning. If you know where you are going then it could be very useful.

 

Say you have a fully fueled boat on the peir. Fully stocked with supplies and there is nothing wrong with the boat BUT the front of the peir is a zombie party. You could swim but for the sake of quiet you use the scubagear, swim under water where you won't create so much noise, as quietly as possible get on the boat, start it and leave.

I am SO DOOMED... T-T

[Kestra15]

Um, no.

 

Knife > Crowbar

Agreed. However;

 

Crowbar + Knife > Knife > Crowbar

cwg, for the sake of my sanity and my brain cells, I will henceforth be ignoring you :|

Explain the flaw this time

[RheaZen]

You gave ONE rather improbably situation for the scuba gear to be of use. You'd have to lug air tanks, goggles, and a ton of other stuff, put them all on (and know how to), get in the water, and climb onto the boat (which would be harder than if you'd gone with no gear on).

 

You know what would work better? Holding your breath.

 

Also, as Layn said,

Also, as Layn said,

Yes you would have to know how to use it but normally you wouldn't plan on using it if you didn't know how. Yes it can be difficult but you don't really need the tank when you are on the boat. So you could take it off before you surfaced and loose that weight that it brings.

 

How much stuff do you actually need in the water besides the tank?

 

Your breadth only lasts so long.

 

 

It isn't all that improbable.

[MonkeyLord]

My walls are made of brick, so its only the doors and windows I'd have to take care off

 

I think crowbars and knifes are about equal on killing power and usefulness, it also depends on what type of knife your talking about though cause a smooth knife is much better than a toothed/seragated.

 

Edit: Forgot about the Scuba stuff, I think it would be useless, because...

1. When do you need to go underwater?

 

2.Im guessing scuba stuff with a tankful of air and weight to keep you under would be heavy and pointless to carry around, so unless a zombie is running/shuffling at you and your at the waters edge you're screwed.

 

3.The air in the tank is limited so if your planning on hiding under water you're screwed, again.

 

4.Im guessing, again, that it would take at least five minutes to get everything on and set up, so if a zombies coming at you and you aren't already wearing it and at the waters egde you're screwed.

you'd need goggles with which to see underwater, and flippers to swim with that weight.

 

And you'd need to be able to transport the scuba gear to the water. In zombie infested area.

 

Not to mention if you surface too fast you'll get the bends.

 

If you must swim to safety, use a snorkel. Quieter, cheaper, probably easier to obtain in event of zombie attack, and easier to carry.

Snorkel, Too close to the top makes me float, but I see the practicalities.

[Qwackie]

Why buy scuba gear if you can swim across the top?

 

I wrote a song about zombies awhile ago. .__.

 

Hear them groaning hear them moaning

They've come for part of you

That part's your motor function

They've come for mine too

 

Seems they like the taste of blood, the taste of flesh

The feeling of their teeth against raw skin

Go ahead, pray and wish

But I'm sure they're ending human kin

 

They don't need an invitation

They're outside the door

Don't need to knock or ask for entry

They'll barge plainly in

 

Run away, run away

Flesh eaters come another day

 

Try and shoot 'em

It won't do much good

Bash their skulls

Won't change their motive

 

Bleed all over

Scream on out

Go on, do it

Let out a shout

 

No one will hear you

No matter how loud you scream

All your attempts will fail

It's as though it's a dream

 

Body torn apart, limb from limb

Just because the monsters' appetites

Why not go for a rare steak

Why go for your brother's leg

 

This my dear friend, is the end

Shout it out

Go on, run away

Run away

Noise. Under water is quieter then above.

But you already said they can't swim, so what would be the point of it? Or you could breath in air, swim under water a bit, then get more air and all that chiz.
