Surviving the zombie apocalypse

[andygates]

Must be zombie season again; after getting all bunchy-gusseted over 28 Weeks Later and then positively hopping up and down on my sickbed at the sight of Resident Evil: Extinction, I managed to find the Zombie Squad.  They're real-life zombie apocalypse themed survivalist nutters.  Since all my disaster preparedness has used the zombie apocalypse metaphor since 1988 (Return of the Living Dead Part 2), this looks like a lot of lurching fun.  Now, it's American so of course there'll be too many boom-sticks, but even so, you have to respect any forum which has half a dozen chainmail threads and one - I kid you not - on how best to deal with zombie dinosaur attack.

(My answer: they were talking about a T-Rex so a trench full of petrol, a Zippo and some tasty bait should do just fine.  Zombie velociraptors would be a whole other proposition.)

And a really good reason to see about restoring an old hand-crank Gatling gun.

Aim for the brain! Hm, thick hide, mushy headparts, tiny brain under heavy skull.

M203 grenade launcher in the mouth if you're really going to go the firearms route. Small arms are a distraction. What's the penetration on one of those old hand-crank Gatlings?
