Zombies!

Flamethrower. Sure, it would be a bad idea in enclosed areas, but I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory than as zombie chow.
 
I've had this plan for the perfect Zombie/nuclear House/fallout shelter since I was 12. If I ever won the lottery I would have it made.

It would have bars on the window and shatter proof class. A front and back door that has a lock like one of them super safes. Hidden wall compartments in every room with weapons(Guns/crowbars/shotguns).

Collapsible stairs. A hidden elevator with another one of them safe doors. Motion detectors in the elevator shaft with something(Haven't figured out what yet) to kill any zombie/person that happened to break in. The elevator would go down at least 1 mile.

The shelter would have 1 emergency exit tunnel with the same motion detector trap that's in the elevator when it's not in use. And it would also be loaded with hidden wall weapons much like the house.

Man, I want to win the lottery so I can have my idea made.
 
Hijack a Tanker truck, and mount a plow blade to the front to clear away abandon'd vehicles.
 
weapons of choice, I'd have to go with two choices:
1st:Halligan Bar

and 2nd: G.I. Field Plus Field Machete both with black oxide coating to eliminate glare.

Pardon for the segue, but if you'd like to read contingency plans from other prepared citizens, check this out. If you can't think of your own plan, steal someone elses, lol

Or for general zombie info, they have a decent zombie section:

Bikes only work during the first few hours of a zombie invasion. Afterward the gore makes roads slippery and can cause a crash which wil inure you and prevent escape.
As for my zombie plan? I live in bermuda. A small , densly populated island with only enough food for about 2 weeks on hand that is mainly fed via imports. I'm screwed. but on a good note the houses are probably the most zombie proof in the world. Built in water tanks that makes pure uncontaminated water.
EVERYTHING is made of limestone so no zombie is breaking down anything.
The houses are hurricane proof and have metal shutters for when one comes so that's even more zombie proof since not even the windows are penetrable. We're so spoiled we have tons of emergency generators. Lots of machetes available. The main con concerning food is kinda big though. Oh and we happen to be smack dab in the middle of mid Atlantic current so any zombies from the Caribbean and Florida are going to float to us.
Our prime maritime location and extensive fortifications make us a highly important location for transcontinental travel and affords us the option of ditching to the continent that DOESN'T have zombies(out of Europe or the Americas but Africa works too if desperate due to all the violence)
We Got lots of boats too.(including sailboats) and have a long tradition of pirating(ok not really but we had alot of pirates once). So essentially we can loot America for resources while you guys getting chomped on and serve as traders when not involved in things piratical.
 
Hoarding as much ammo as possible for multiple firearms would be best I think. Something with a wide-shot would be good. Sawed off I think. Blow a hole a foot wide into something and a head clean off. Automatics like machine guns or AKs for wide sweeps when taking off if you get rushed. Things like cricket bats and swords would be 2nd choice for close combat, something you want to avoid at all costs.

Yeah, friends and I have discussed this thoroughly.
 
Sawed-off shotguns would only be good in close quarter situations, and probably not much more effective than a blunt/sharp object. I was under the impression that they cause trauma that leads to organ failure, and in a zombie, that would only slow them down (unless you did take their head off). The only type of firearm that I'd want, is something with either a scope or laser so I could make sure to get them in the head.

If gas was no issue, I'd be driving around in this:

Ford: Built Zombie Tough.
 
I've always fancied myself as an axe guy. Ideally I would also have a shotgun, but mostly for making the "chik-chik" sound and saying something badass, like "Dodge this" or "It's killering time."

Also, the first stop I would make is to a used sporting goods store on my block, where I would make a lightweight and maneuverable zombie protection suit out of old baseball/hockey equipment. Nothing fancy, but enough to save me from a bite or scratch that get's past Ol' Axey (my axe). Next to the used sporting goods store is a Jewel/Osco, which I can raid for food and supplies.

(cleaned up of course) as my weapon of choice.

Lol I actually have one of these in my room. It has a metal sheath though, pretty bad ass.
 
Medusa model 47 revolver, if you can find one.

Grendel P30 (given a careful going-over by a competent gunsmith), again, if you can find one.

And I want that machete. I don't suppose you have a spare? >.>;

Am I the only one wondering what an earth that is doing in your room? I think in a zombie invasion... I would be the first to die... by suicide lol.
 
DW, NO! By an heroing you're just bolstering their ranks. The only acceptable mode of suicide is to do something that would first break off all of your teeth and remove your fingers from the second knuckle, as to "bite-proof" yourself.

Seriously though, firearms are no bueno. In a situation where you're trying to NOT BE EATEN firing off a cannon is going to ring like a bell in a ruined city. Every shambling dead for miles will stumble in your direction. It might as well be a dinner bell.

(Way to go with the bell comparison in the prior sentence, highfive self.)

Also, talking to and commending yourself /now/ is a good way to prepare yourself for when insanity sets in after you've been left alone when your friends get eaten and you need to put them down.
 
Firearms in the zombie apocalypse are conditional. Is it one zombie? Two zombies? Sure, bust out the melee weapon and chop 'em down. But a bunch of zombies? If you wake up and find your hide surrounded by a swarm? That's when guns come in. Sure, it's noisy, and you'll attract more zombies. But noisy and on the run beats eaten.

Hence the two handguns I referenced. The Medusa can fire pretty much anything in the 9mm/.38 range, from automatic pistol ammo to .357 magnum rimmed cartridges. The omnivore of pistols, if you will. The Grendel P30 uses a fairly common cartridge that is both fairly quiet and with a reasonable enough penetration power so as not to bounce off the skull (.22 Winchester Magnum), and holds 30 rounds in a magazine that's fully housed within the grip.

Of course, then there's the whole fast zombies vs slow zombies problem, and the alien space bats modifier that can throw it all out of whack.
 
how about we just hide in a bunker for the rest of our lives...
 
The best solution I've read about "I don't want to end up a zed" is to construct a suicide vest with a resetable timer of sorts. Ever X amount of hours you reset the timer, if you end up getting bitten, or eaten, the vest will detonate.
