The right gear.

If you happen to have one of those handy and need an extra man, just slap me across the face and splash me with cold water or something. If you can get my attention away from... well.. the flying zombies... I'll see what I can do to help.

Remember to bring an extra pair of pants too.

Better yet, I won't wear any. That should keep me safe from messes and make easy fecal deposition.

Hmmm....I'm going to look into kevlar depends. That should keep me ready for the flying zombies.

eek. I'm gonna stop saying flying zombies. It's just to frightening. Now FLINGING zombies, I'm down for.

I would probably just scream, take a breath and die. Or shoot myself.

The fact of flying Zombies is just.. Brrrr...

Well, at least we know when we get turned into zombies... we'll be able to fly. That's small consolation, yea... but it'd still be cool to fly.

Flying zombies are less scary when you're tucked away in your ex-missile silo base of operations. Still scary, though.

Wait...would they fly all slow and stumbly?

Ex-missile silo base of operations? Hmmm. sounds like a good idea.

We're actually trying to figure out how to get sufficient funding. We're thinking "bake sale"

Flying zombies... would probably be more... falling zombies... Maybe they'd jump and glide, and pounce people.

You guys are getting freakin' weird.

What if?

by **xbot** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 4:43 pm

Well, in Tsui Hark's "Vampire Hunters" the zombies don't fly, but the vampire who created them could at least hover.

If we're ever in operations in the orient, we'll have to keep an eye out for other trouble.

by **NecronomiconExMortis** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 4:55 pm

But they jumped around! :shock:

by **Ivan** » Wed Apr 28, 2004 11:57 pm

yeah, dont even get me started on asian vampires. Im thankfull we arent having to plan for them. The hopping ones just sound silly, but the flying severed heads with acid dripping entrails?! EEEEEEWWW!!!

Actually, I'm pretty worried about the renaissance fair attendees in full suits of armor that turn into zombies. We could have small bands of fully armored zombies running around.

by **NecronomiconExMortis** » Thu Apr 29, 2004 6:48 pm

Naw. I'm part of one such society, and I'm pretty sure that everyone there would hesitate for only a moment before grabbing the real swords and running into the fray. And a zombie would have a tough time trying to bite a person in fullplate with a bastardsword. And even if they did, and there was a armored zombie, I'd run cirlces around it and laugh. Besides, most guns'll punch through that shit like nothing, anyway.

I don't know if I would go with a helmet, like the original post mentioned. It's not going to stop a round fired your way, and would just be more weight and discomfort.

I'd only use a light one if clearing out a tight quartered building. It would be to keep me from banging my head in tight situations.

I'd go with a balaclava and goggles for protection, like Raptor and Alpha seem to.

by **Red Panda** » Fri May 21, 2004 12:00 pm

I think I would definitely get something like a skateboard helmet. I'm not really concerned about it stopping bullets, but I think it'd be good for something simple, like falling down.

Of course, I have to stress PPE whenever I teach, so I may be biased.

You teach?

by **Red Panda** » Fri May 21, 2004 1:16 pm

Well, I'm a trainer at my work.

I teach people how to install/repair telephone lines.

We have to stress safety at all times, so hard hats, safety glasses & harness when climbing is very important. It's always funny when I get guys up in the air for the first time. It's usually the know-it-alls that freeze up when they're swaying back & forth. Of course, I don't wanna see anyone get hurt, though.

Anyways, that's why I think a lid is so important. A person may be aware of what they're doing at all times, but you can't account for the guy/girl on your right.

Yeah, that's why I a nice kevlar helmet would be a must if you're on a team. Or if you're not. What if you're out on your own and a few survivors mistake you for a Z?
I bought a PASGT recently for only $30 on ebay but it turned out to be a little small so the girl has one now.

by **Joe Ghoul** » Fri May 21, 2004 4:00 pm

Yeah, but I don't think even a Kevlar helmet is going to stop a rifle round fired directly at your head.

A .223 round will go right through a level 3 vest.

The right gear.
