1. Stubb gun from Judge Dredd, decapitate zombies behind walls, collapse walls on them, slice through whole crowds, excellent. Caution, make sure said walls are not supporting the roof above you. The trick is to cut a hole in the roof not directly above you and then stand there.

2. Anything by Queen would do but "Another one bites the dust" is an obvious starter. [EDIT: "Don't stop me now" you're right BNakagaw]

3. Dana Scully, smart, trained with guns and might know how to stop the plague. If she doesn't, well we've just got to repopulate the Earth then don't we? Plus she's a doctor.

Recalling something on (I think) CRACKED.com, I'd settle for a gun that fires LOTS AND LOTS of chainsaws. Preferably, flaming chainsaws.

 

As for music, my tastes are extremely varied, but what about that great classic 'Monster Mash'.

I think you're obliged to go with "Don't stop me now".

Hmm, Ok, if we went with "real world stuff" It might be something like this:

 

Weapon: As long as it came with a backpack full of ammo, a P-90 with laser site. Light, accurate, easy to hold and has a huge clip and is more powerful than most SMGs.

 

Music: Theme to the original battlestar galactica.

 

Companion: Rush Limbaugh, who I would immediately shoot in the leg and use as a stalking horse for the zombies. I'd I pull back, focus on the zombies coming after me then began picking off he ones piling on limbaugh's ample corpse.

Possibly even more important - they have a strong tendency to overheat and explode, as various Judges learned during the Apocalypse War

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By

 

Weapon: Triffid Gun. Fires a high-speed shuriken or boomerang-shaped razor sharp steel blade (designed for trimming the stings off Triffids, but also perfect for ranged decapitations!)

Music: Lost in the Shadows By Lou Gramm (Lost Boys theme)

Ally: Simo Hayha, The White Death. 505 Kills during the Winter War - mostly with iron sights. Anything I miss, he'll get.

Never heard of the triffid gun. Did they expand on the day of the triffids storyline?

 

Also never heard of simo hayah. What story is he from? BTW, for a real sniper, try Vasily Zeitsez, from stalingrad during ww2.

It's from the original novel. I recall it.

 

He's from the Winter War, Finland versus USSR circa 1940-1941.

Yeah, I recall it also. Basically shot a razor-sharp disc that could easily decapitate a triffid.

 

Though .... a gun that fired triffids would be rather awesome - but probably not much good against zombies.

[Sundog]

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By

 

They actually did expand on Day of the Triffids. There was a sequel, Night of the Triffids, but I honestly wouldn't bother with it - it's dramatically inferior to Wyndham's masterwork.

The Triffid Gun is mentioned in passing in the original novel as the tool that got the initial Triffid outbreak under control. One is also used in the BBC mini-series version of Day.

Simo Hayha, on the other hand, was merely the best sniper in all of history.

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By

 

I looked up triffids on wiki. Wow, sure were different than the old movie.

 

I wonder why no one's done a rpg product with them?

 

As to snipers, I still think vasily zeitsev might be the best.

Hmmm, one thing: If triffids only have a sense of hearing, how the hell do they aim at a human's eyes?

Dunno... but that's how they acted in the novel.

Companion: The Dark Knight

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By

 

Mad, Crazy Awesome Choices?

A) Excaliber.

A bad-ass classical music score sung by a Valkyrie choir who collect the grateful souls of the people who were zombified.

C) A Star Trek holoprogram with portable generator. (Because if I can only have one person, I'm having somebody who can be other people, too. But for now, I'll go for having it replicate Jadzia Dax with a Bat'leth.)

 

'Realistic' Choices?

A) A spear (because I'm better at thrusting with a spear than any 'swinging' weapon, and ranged weapons always run out. Maybe something to shoot in case I absolutely have to save somebody at range. Maybe.)

Queen's Greatest Hits, plus one or two extras, like Bon Jovi's "It's my life".

C) Ahnold The Governator (on the one hand, he can still crush puny zombie skulls, and on the other hand, if the Governor of California goes missing, he's going to have a huge search party out looking for him. And if they don't find him till me and him have wiped out the zombies, then I'm the hero who helped Arnie wipe out an army of zombies.)

Experience, actually. There's a notable instance of a child being missed by a Triffid's attack because the sting went over his head - at head height for an adult. Basically, they guess - but with their good hearing and range, and capacity to communicate experiences to each other, it's a well-informed and usually effective guess.

I also recall a scene where a Triffid is lashing out ineffectually at the backs of sheep.

[Sundog]

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By

 

Yes. I have to admit, I always wondered whether the Russians originally designed the Triffid as a weapon, and the wonderful oil was just a by-product - they seemed remarkably well designed to kill humans.

Re: Music to Kill Zombies By

 

i like the green lantern ring as a weapon since not only does it shoots, it automatically provides protection for close in attacks.

 

i like a lot of music, but in a fight like this I would like a fighting song like Headstrong by Trapt, You're going down by sickpuppies, or princes of the universes by queen

 

I don't know about a partner since a GL ring is almost the perfect weapon in its own. Maybe Agatha Heterodyne since not only would she find a cure for zombification, she would make it dynamic and full of lightning.

Sonar. Sound reflects differently off of skin than it does off of corneas.
