If anything else, this site is about being aware and ready for the undead. Much like the military, law enforcement, etc., you learn to train like you fight, and fight like you train. Meaning, if you can practice shooting at zeds, why not practice with some realistic targets? Continue Reading »
One of the oldest weapons of man is the ax, in various shapes and forms. While some of the oldest were little more than stone wedges today’s axes are high tech and designed to do their jobs with minimum work. So, is the ax, the hand ax, and the American cousin the tomahawk the answer to the melee debate?
The key to defeating, any enemy living or undead, is to make them fight the battles on your terms. When the dead rise, and the world as you know it has collapsed you will need to understand that you will have to make the undead fight you on your terms and not simply run at the horde baseball bat swinging and guns blazing every time you see them, or hear their moan.
A tank is something that every little boy wants. They are big, heavy, they can soak up punishment, and they have a big bad willy extension on top of it all. It is for these reasons that some desire these vehicles to combat the zombie threat, however, are they the end all answer to zombies or just a willy extension and nothing more.
Take a day and go to any major range and you will see any number of AR-15 model rifles, many of which running close to a thousand dollars or better. At accessories and the prices quickly become outrageous. A sidearm can also run well over five hundred dollars for just the base model any major quality manufacture. Add in ammo costs and the idea of become proficient with your weapon quickly become hopeless. But, this is when you look at the newest, latest and greatest weapons out on the market. What about old school military surplus, guns and ammo, weapons systems that are older than you, and have been battle proven decades ago, can these weapons possibly save your live during the zombie apocalypse.
When the debate rises over the proper dispatching of the undead everyone knows that you have to destroy the brain, cutting the control that it has over the body and the creature that is trying to eat you. The debate, however, rises over the proper way of doing this. Do you use a sword and finesse, such as a katana and decapitate the fleshwalker, or do you use a club and brute force and beat it’s brains out?

Since so many countries limit, or prohibit private firearm ownership, its more likely that America will survive the Zombie Apocalypse than perhaps any other country. Everyone says that Americans are all gun crazy warmongers, but that is definately going to help us survive when so many other countries will fall under the rotting foot of the undead menace.

Against the undead there is often the idea that distance mean safety. So, taking this stratagem to the next level why can’t we just use our great technology and advancements in the art of air power and bring collective hell down on the heads of the undead where they can’t even touch us?

Just to indulge all of us that like to fantasize about what we would do during the zombie apocalypse, we put forth this question.
If money was no object, what weapon systems you would want to take into battle against the zombies?

“Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare… will be vastly different than it is today… the distinction between military and commercial space systems-combatants and noncombatants- will become blurred… advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.”
