I asked myself the same thing, at first, but I understand what he means.

A zombie - as a whole - might move slow, but the head just kind of lolls around, as the body moves under it. The target could actually be moving quite fast, in relation to how far away from it you are, and how much it's bobbing around as the zombie staggers about. He does have a point on that one. At close range, an arrow could be effective, but fighting off a horde as they are approaching could prove a little more difficult.

I have a solution...

Flaming arrows.

(pre-soaked in kerosene, and there's a lighter attached right in front of the arrow-rest of the bow)

Yes, I know, I am a winner

Actually fire is a bad idea when it comes to killing zombies.

They'll be on fire and continue their attack. Which in turn will set your fortress on fire.

Pssshhhh I'd be out there hunting the zombies.

Besides, my "lair" is an abandoned factory. Lots of metal, not much to burn.

Sidekick:

Wolverine



I'll delete this if it's too risque. Let me know.

another suggestion for a vehicle:



Human-powered aircraft

Unfortunately there's not a whole lot of them out there

Yeah that's pretty cool. But it's not as good as Optimus Prime:



And the great thing is, he's only classed as a vehicle, leaving you free to bring along Adriana Lima or whoever.

I shouldn't rekindle an old fire, but... having a sword as a secondary weapon? Great idea. Having only swords as weapons? terrible idea. Unless you have a katana, claymore, or the like, you won't be able to cut through bones and tendons. This is if we are talking about the kind of zombies that can only be killed by removing the head or destroying the brain. Not only this, but swinging a sword requires a lot of energy, in addition to carrying it around, with all your other loot and equipment. A gun (especially a pistol) takes no energy to point and shoot, unless it's a large round and has a lot of recoil. If we are still talking about headshot only zombies, anybody with an automatic weapon would be dead. It would require a tremendous amount of ammo, which takes up space, and anything but a headshot would just knock it back a few inches. M4 would be especially useless, as a 5.56mm round has very little stopping power. Grenades kill by fragmentation, and as such, might blow off an arm or a leg, but leave them crawling after you. It's all explained in the zombie survival guide. Semi Automatic, lever action, and bolt action are the way to go! Shotguns have the same effect as a rifle with slugs, and will rarely kill a zombie at more than 20 feet. Good back up weapon though, it would knock them over. Anyways... I'll make two. A joke one for Shaun of the Dead, and my real one. Text first.

Primary weapon: Winchester brand lever action 30-.30
secondary weapon: pool cue
Vehicle: Classic Jag
Armor: Suit and tie with a little bit of red just below the name tag
Battle Anthem: Don't stop me now by Queen
Sidekicks: Ed, Shaun, Phil, And the rest of them
Stronghold: The winchester, of course!
Location:The U.K.
Last words: If I'm suddenly grabbed and bitten: "f**k-a-doodle-doo!"
If I see it coming: I should have had a cold pint and waited for this all to blow over.
While I'm turning over:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

And now for the real one....
Primary weapon: Remmington made lever action .357
Secondary weapon: titanium crowbar
Vehicle: Mountain bike, pedal powered. ( I could give so many lectures on poor choices here, but I won't )
Armor: Web system vest with utility pouches: 4 on front, and one on each side, kevlar plates on my arms and legs ( about 90% of zombies bites are on the limbs ), short hair.
Battle Anthem:Bullets by Creed
Sidekick: That awesome guy from shooter. The one that can get two headshots with a bolt action .22 from 600 feet and make a silencer out of a 2 liter bottle. Yeah.
Stronghold: Imperial Castle
Location: None other than the Emerald Isle!
Last words: I hope you SOBs choke on my bones! (stolen from Fallout 3. Replaced a more choice word. )

Here we are! Mine is finished!



Shaun of the Dead... Working on the other one now.

Well, you'll notice I made a few changes... more mistakes than changes... oh well.

Relevant question...have any of you read the "Zombie Survival Guide"?

Yup.

That's what I based most of my answers on. The reason I chose a bike, crowbar, and lever action instead of a jeep, shotgun, and M60. I think I know that book cover to cover, every bit of information by now.

lol

Stingray allows easy access to the Island's various aquatic niches. Would have ammunition chaches stashed around the forest - para-dropped in. Poncho and revolvers make gunslinger awesomeness.

It was Katamari or the theme to the original Django. Tough call.

Navi is there because Navi can identify enemies when you hit Z and C-up.

Epic spoiler is that Dark Tower allows reset when times are bad.

But then we realise she is targeting an enemy.

And is thus.

Yellow.
