* - The Zombie Survival Guide is a horrible piece of literature, do not use it to substantiate your claims or use it as a base for anything.(Its is worth noting that Max Brooks has admitted that his book was first and foremost a joke, hence its listing as "Humor" on the Random House Publishing website)
* - You need evidence to base anything off, yes this is cryptozoology but that is not an excuse to be lazy. Do some research and if an argument regarding your claims begins, quote your sources.
* - When beginning a thread, please give a brief outline of which type of zombie your theory/thread is tailored to and a small brief about the mechanics of said zombie type.
* - Zombie Etiquette is expected at all times, zombies do not exist as of yet(Aside from the voodoo slaves) so anything about them is merely a theory and should be treated as such, comments such as "This theory is bullshit" that do not have a backing will be deleted and depending on the post in question, the poster may also be banned.
* - The arguments concerning the katana are both useless and annoying, as such these debates are not allowed, weapon choice is a personal one and should be left as such, you may offer suggestions but claiming that another user is an idiot for their choice in weapons is not allowed.

Dear /zom/

I want to watch/read some 4srs zombie media. By this I mean, nothing from Japan, no school girls popping off .50s against an army of zacks, you get the point. I want some media that takes itself seriously and deals with day to day survival.

Any suggestions?

Ok sure I probably won't turn into a rager today. Or tomorrow. Or maybe it won't be for several generations. One day though, my toxoplasma riddled childrens children will rise up and take over the world with their serotonin deprived rage! I'm just trying to give you guys a heads up.

Let's consider the following: a zombie apocalypse wherein there are two stages of the infection and chaos.

During the day, the male zombies are zombies and the female zombies turn into regular females. And at night, the regular females turn into female zombies and the male zombies turn into regular males.

Of course, this only affects people that are zombies - any human that hasn't been infected is still, of course, a regular human, fighting the zombies as normal.

A regular female (one that isn't actually a zombie) is confronted by a smart male zombie during the night (so that means he'll be posing as a regular human male). The psuedo-male human convinces the real female human to have sex to survive, so they do. The psuedo-male is gone by the morning, turning back into a regular zombie.

The regular female human is now pregnant with twins, one male and one female. During the day she has a regular human female and a male zombie inside of her, and during the night she has a regular human male and a female zombie inside of her.

She gives birth during a solar eclipse. What the fuck happens?

My dearest sirs, i would love your opinion on this article's merits: http://www.cracked.com/article_18683_7-scientific-reasons-zombie-outbreak-would-fail-quickly.html

I think it brings some valid points to the table about the failure of a zombie outbreak.

Show me what you've got, /zom/

The jacket and pants are high performance motorcycle wear meant to protect from strong impacts and abrasions. The boots are fire, water, and voltage proofed kevlar. They seemed like a good idea. Subsonic (presumably, the image was too small) .22lr rounds. The rifle and pistol both use .22lr rounds, as well.

So I was having a discussion today with a mate about what gun we'd be likely to use post-zday. I was talking about something along the lines of an M4 or F88 AUSSTEYR because 5.56x45 is a very common military round and even civilian round (AR-15s etc) and this eventually brought up discussion of the M249. Now this is where my friend and I began to disagree. He favored the M249 with a drummag and full auto, saying that one would simply "mow down" zombies and one could restrain one's fire with the M249. I argued that an M4 on a three round burst would be the superior selection for firerate, I said that you would have better accuracy and as recoil causes the muzzle to rise, you'd get a decent spread across the chest maybe even drifting into the neck. I claimed that this would be beneficial as no matter which type of zombie we are dealing with, it would be an effective killing method. I argued that with magical headshot-only undead, entering a room to see a shambler standing right there, a three round burst would knock them back (they are not bracing nor are they coordinated, the round hitting them would have more pushback effect than one hitting a regular human) allowing you extra time to raise your rifle a bit and deliver that headshot. I also claimed that against "Infected" a three round burst to the chest would likely kill or disable them from getting their heart or spinal cord (assuming FMJ). He went on to argue that when you're clearing rooms, you essentially want to spray everywhere and disable anything in there, hence the M249 or other weapon set to full auto. He then repeated his claim that if one watched their fire when not clearing rooms, one would not instantly use up all their ammo. I counter-argued that with modern firearms having stupendously high rates of fire on full auto, one would empty an entire magazine in just a few seconds (assuming a 32-round boxmag) and that it would be a waste of ammo.

So, fellow anti-zombie combatants, I was wondering what rate of fire you'd be most likely to use. Single fire, a burst or full automatic?

tl;dr me and a mate debated full auto vs burst and it got me thinking about it so I decided to ask you guys.

The Walking Dead becomes an AMC series.

Hopefully they omit the less realistic parts of the series, because that trailer looks like everything I'm looking for in a TV show.

Good zombies books? I have already read WW Z and Day by Day Armageddon and the shitty survival guide. MOAR PLX

ITT: Zombie rule thread.
I start with Rule #1, and we continue from there.
No, arguing like little bitches, if you don't agree, say why, or post a rule against it- and a reason for it.
After about 100 rules, I'll set up a blogspot or some shit, organize all the rules and decide which ones are worthwhile to protect you mother fuckers when shit gets real.
I'm looking to get about 200 rules so at least some of us survive.
