Quick Question

[Zod]

I was sat here thinking of the impending zombie invasion and decided i needed some advice on which weapons i need to protect my family. My major concern is that using a shotgun may splatter zombie guts around thus risking infection to anyone near. Wht would be an effective close range method of disposing of these walkers that is as clean as possible?

It's all fun and games till someone turns into a brain muncher.

Anyone have serious advice?

uh... google search for zombie tools came up with... zombietools.net

The reaper caught my eye.

But if you really wanna be clean - remember the humane mouse traps? Get a very large version and put someone in there as a sacrifice - some phony intellect like Joe Biden should work.

Once you get enough Zombies, have a crane take it to CWGs house and empty it there. The zombies will starve to death in their search for brains.

Or... you can learn how to plant a garden

I would go with a .22 pistol. Easy ammo to find and it's light.

You might as well stab with a ball point pen. Equally effective.

Depends on the zerg. Singles...crossbow works pretty good, but getting the arrows back is a beotch. Pole saw would work well to keep them at bay from the windows/doors from higher locations. I don't see the infection issues from shotguns blasts unless they're already inside...which you're probably farked either way. Once in, the steady stream (again..depending on the zerg) is near impossible to shut off. Another factor is their speed and that may dictate your escape plan and subsequent weapon loadout. So a shotty is a definate...forget the infection crap to worry about. Just don't skimp on leather clothing and boots. Shotty...baseball bat...sidearm...backpack full of ammo for each gun.

Don't bother with a bladed instrument as it could get lodged in a skull and by the time you've retrieved it, 2-3 more are on you. Blunt force trauma to the head. Blades dull and blood goes everywhere (if you're worried about that).

Oh...and never climb anything to wait them out. They don't tire and will stand down there forever. Nothing better to do. So don't climb a tree without an alternate escape route.

If I can apply some Max Brooks education with my personal opinion, I would have to say some sort of manually propelled rotor system with Samurai swords attached...basically, imagine a handheld helicopter rotor system with samurai swords that you can hold cutting off any incoming heads within a 6' radius.

These should do it for close range... also need a weapon (gun) with good range and lots of rounds for swarms.

Easy. The shoulder cannon Predator wears.
