The only truley epic solution to a zombie apocolypse is to replace one of your hands with a chainsaw, get a shotgun to call your boomstick, and say groovy every once in a while. Then, and only then, will you make it through a zombie apocolypse.
This all depends on what kind of zombies. George Romero zombies = Hunting Rifle and crowbar or machete. I’d go with the crowbar because you don’t have to sharpen it and it’s multifunctional. L4D zombies = you’re f***ed (play realism on expert and you’ll know why)
Ummm… An RPG is a fragmentation weapon. One peice of srapnel to the head and the zombie is dead. Although anywhere else would only slow it down. So I’d say average zombie weapon. Also, don’t follow movies. A human infected with the solanum virus can only be killed if it’s brain is hit. Even just a small piece of shrapnel. That’s why shotguns are the best gun. Only 1 pellet needs to hit.
But you need to be at very close range to guarantee that that pellet would hit, and more importantly, penetrate. Plus the size and weight of the shells means that you can carry less of them than smaller, more accurate ammo.
But if there’s a large hoard of zombies headed in your direction an RPG would kill a bunch at once and incapacitate or slow-down a lot more so you’d have plenty of time to pick them off one by one with your shotgun. (Or run away.)
So while an RPG wouldn’t be first choice for a primary weapon, it’d be an interesting choice for a one-off emergency supplemental weapon. But regular grenades would be a better choice for practicality and convenience.
BTW, are you sure that just a small piece of shrapnel is all that’s needed? I’m pretty sure that zombies aren’t making much use of their frontal lobes or other parts of the “mammalian” section of the brain. Hell, a bullet or pellet to the brain isn’t necessarily fatal to regular human, let alone a zombie. I’m pretty sure that for “just a small piece of shrapnel” to be effective it’d have to hit the “reptilian” part of the brain (or the brain-stem) spot-on.
Also, you’re wrong about destroying the brain being the only way to kill a zombie. Decapitation, for example, would be instantly effective. Other damage, such as impaling the heart, would eventually work due to oxygen starvation of the muscles, but would not be immediately effective.
“Thish ish sho cool! It’sh jusht like in modern warfare 2 when I reacshed level sheventy and got the RPG-7! I’m gonna l33t haxsh them witsh my aweshome shkills!
Ah, BCGs…. I do not miss you!
(Those hideous glasses are what US military members are required to wear in bootcamp. They slip off of your nose when you’re NOT sweating, fall off when you do pushups, and are ugly enough to have the nickname “birth control glasses.”)
It was probably the idea of someone who wanted someone who was not only able to aim the thing, but who had enough brain cells to understand which end needs to be pointed at the enemy…
A nerd is a very smart person with hardly any social skills (aka, NOT a geek)…gaming is one of their maaaany hobbies. What you need to watch out for is when they join the army, then all those years of pent up rage at anyone who told him he looks funny just comes pouring out. They’re the world’s most perfect killers and have sickeningly good aim.
Well isn’t THIS special. That is my brother. A 10th degree blackbelt in karate and a marksman. A drill sagreant and trainer for Arkansas State Police. Nerd? Hardly. So what if he had bad vision, he could kick your ass in the dark. He had to overcompensate for his bad eyes and he did. Love you Jimmy. Miss you terribly (b. 1956 – d. 2003)
There’s only something like 15 jūdan. A relative being awarded a jūdan is a big enough claim that is requires you show proof. Most of those people have been teaching for 50 years, not including their time getting to that rank. The supposed brother here wasn’t even alive for 50 years. So, proof, or we laugh at you.
Proof? I am not going to post his name rank and serial number out here for some idiot to run with. I have this photo in the original military manual from which it was published. He was actually instructing the use of the RPG since he was an expert on them.
Daito please.
It doesn’t run out of bullets, it’s slightly longer then your average Katana.
It doesn’t need fuel like the chainsaw, nor loud like it (or like any gun) to draw more zombeh’s to my location.
It doesn’t burn my cover like a flamethrower would.
I would like… about 3 of them though, in case I somehow screw up, and can’t withdraw my sword out of a zombie after the blade sinks in deep and more swarm in on me rapidly.
I would like a sniper rifle if I could have enough ammo, and be in a large open field.
Oh, and please, let me get laid with the girl that is secretly a highly trained killer assassin, whom falls in love with me halfway trough the apocalypse.
If it won’t save my ass due to storyline reasons, perhaps she’ll be around enough to save my butt due to proximity reasons.
If that fails at least I’ll die a bit happier.
But that all aside,
please, keep that guy away from me, I’m afraid he’ll blow me up before blowing up the zombies.
Look people, you’re silly little comments are pissing me off. The Man in that photo is actually (in real life, or in this case deceased) my Father. This photo was taken in the late 1980′s when he was an airbase ground defense instructor. To put this picture up the way it is, is just disrespectful. If you are the person who posted this photo, please take it off the internet?
I am glad you find my brother “the nerd” so amusing. Because of him, you are able to post stuff like this freely. He spent 20 years in the USAF. Of course, I guess freedom of speech has no control over grace, decorum, and common sense. I guess if it happened to a family member of yours, especially one so highly respected in their field who is now dead, freedom of speech would go out the window for you too. This photo actually came from a Military Training Manual. My brother was an EXPERT in the field of RPG. You should be grateful. Apparently you are not. Now go tell your daddy you messed up…if you can figure out who he is…
So called “sisterofnerd,” like hell anyone believes you. Your so called brother gets posted on here, and you just so happen to see him? Right. And honestly. Best weapon in a zombie apocolypse is a piece of raw meat. Throw it off a building then WOOSH they’re gone.
Yeah, I knew the guy. Met up with him a couple of times via ‘sisterofnerd’, who, by the wya, IS HIS SISTER. All I will say is his name was Jim and he was born and raised in the Flint, MI area and spent 20 years in the USAF. I know he did tours in Turkey, Korea, Granada, and Japan.
@ HoodedCrow – this IS actually sisterofnerd’s deceased brother. I saw the photo yesterday and recognized him. Knowing his background and some of his family members I thought they would like to know how this image was being used.
LOL, sorry! I’d rather see that than the insults about the “nerd”. Please continue…and personally, I prefer the flamethrower/chainsaw combo for my Zombie hunts.
To survive zombie Hell
you need-
A Tank.
#1 zombies cant get in
#2 you can run them over
#3 it looks cool
#4 it would be fun
weapons – katana+barret50+m9(silenced)+chunks of raw meat.
team – military sniper+you+ninjas+anyone else.

Nope. The FAIL is VDs, for thinking that just because someone looks nerdy he can’t be an expert in RPGs. If you read the comment thread, you’ll find people who knew this guy, who is now deceased and was a shoulder-mounted weapons expert.
Zombies…..just get a f**king nuke, why does no one ever think of that, or if you wanna add a little nerd ness to it, get a predator or 3 to come and have a hunting spree, am sure they would love it.
First
Nerd with an RPG? So? Looks like the guy, who made this poster, still lives in the 80s. Just pathetic…
first beeyatches
FIRST! (again)
Recruiter: You look like a fine young man, join the Amry and you can use RPGs.
Nerd: Awesome they are going to pay me to play World of Warcraft, WIN!
since when are rpg’s used in world of warcraft, FAIL
World of Warcraft is an RPG, I think you’re missing the point.
RPG also means Role Playing Game.
Im not so sure that he is missing it. It was a fail. What he should have said was “They are paying me to play CoD”
second! (again)
third! (again)
fourth (again)
you people are still slow (fifth again)
and this time
You’re an idiot, find something better to do with your time. :/
Successful troll is successful.
Also kind of a knob.
i’m posting one more than last time
It is kinda sad that each of your posts is actually a couple off, as your first was actually third, second…fourth, etc.
But good job really failing…you fail hard.
(face palm)…
I see the trolls are eating well today. Always nice to see.
^
this
This is an RPG he isn’t used to.
Multi-Mass RPG…Yes. Online…No.
Step 2: Look down
Step 3: Hop, tuck legs in, shoot
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit!
maggots!
He wouldn’t be a nerd without a role playing game…wait wut?
If there is an army of zombies, nerd with RPG is best choice !
it’s so funny I forgot to laugh…
RPG would be a horrible choice for a zombie appoc.
chainsaw and m16 ftw
or better yet…m16 with a chainsaw on it
(think i saw it somewhere on this site)
I’m more of a cricket bat type, myself.
The only truley epic solution to a zombie apocolypse is to replace one of your hands with a chainsaw, get a shotgun to call your boomstick, and say groovy every once in a while. Then, and only then, will you make it through a zombie apocolypse.
Both would get you killed. A katana and semi auto sniper rifle would be better.
…Zombie Survival Guide, huh?
A chainsaw is one of the worst weapons you could get in a zombie apocalypse.
This all depends on what kind of zombies. George Romero zombies = Hunting Rifle and crowbar or machete. I’d go with the crowbar because you don’t have to sharpen it and it’s multifunctional. L4D zombies = you’re f***ed (play realism on expert and you’ll know why)
Best choice for killing zombies: Kohta Hirano from Highschool of the Dead. He follows Zombieland’s rule of the double tap.
excuse me, HotS came way before Zombieland. I read the manga.
I meant HSotD
lol, good to see a fellow reader

The best, the all-time best anti-zombie weapon, is a minigun mounted on a helicopter. End of line.
“Thish ish sho cool! It’sh jusht like in modern warfare 2 when I reacshed level sheventy and got the RPG-7! I’m gonna l33t haxsh them witsh my aweshome shkills!
I am going to show my inner nerd by correcting you. You get the RPG-7 at level 65. Level 70 gets you the AK-47. /nerd rant
What could possibly go wrong, if anything fails just reboot.
You idiot, that’s not a Nerd, it’s Gordon Freeman without his HEV suit on.
Gordon Freeman, the early years
Ah, BCGs…. I do not miss you!
(Those hideous glasses are what US military members are required to wear in bootcamp. They slip off of your nose when you’re NOT sweating, fall off when you do pushups, and are ugly enough to have the nickname “birth control glasses.”)
they repel women, do you think BCG would repel zombies?
Only the lady ones.
It was probably the idea of someone who wanted someone who was not only able to aim the thing, but who had enough brain cells to understand which end needs to be pointed at the enemy…
sorry but I have to say this, In soviet Russia, Nerd beat up you!
This also qualifies as a FAIL.
He is gripping the shoulder stock, not the pistol grip. The part that makes it go bang is just in front /below the sling!
It’s because he’s adjusting it.
That would be called “trigger discipline,” if I’m not mistaken. Sheesh.
I could almost imagine how he got that thing.
Army recruiter: So, sir do you have any experience with the following?
1. RPGs
2. AK 47
3. Knife
Nerd: RPGs, oh hell yeah; chuck norris knows I love RPGs
“No, I *was* a nerd, but now I have a grenade launcher.
“A nerd is someone you pick on. You do not pick on someone who has an RPG. Ergo: no longer a nerd.”
There should be a like button on this set because that is epic.
A nerd is a very smart person with hardly any social skills (aka, NOT a geek)…gaming is one of their maaaany hobbies. What you need to watch out for is when they join the army, then all those years of pent up rage at anyone who told him he looks funny just comes pouring out. They’re the world’s most perfect killers and have sickeningly good aim.
When CoD is no longer enough, the nerd goes out to get his thrill.

stop trolling, just stop, you’re not fooling anyone. He is preparing the RPG before firing, more like adjusting the sights.
THANK YOU!

Believe what you want…a friend saw this through channels and sent it to me. It is my brother.
Yeah, I knew the guy. Met up with him a couple of times via ‘sisterofnerd’, who, by the wya, IS HIS SISTER. All I will say is his name was Jim and he was born and raised in the Flint, MI area and spent 20 years in the USAF. I know he did tours in Turkey, Korea, Granada, and Japan.
Nope, sisterofnerd is indeed sisterofnerd. Guess Hooded Crow needs to, uh, eat crow…
Please take the picture down.
Thank you B411…oh the times we had on the banks of the Red Cedar, huh?
I understand there’s a school that’s known to all around those parts.
I went there too. Class of ’81.
@ HoodedCrow – this IS actually sisterofnerd’s deceased brother. I saw the photo yesterday and recognized him. Knowing his background and some of his family members I thought they would like to know how this image was being used.
Yes, Hooded Crow, this is the person who let me in on it.
Well, sisterofnerd, if that really is your brother and he really is deceased, all honor to his memory.
Here, here!
He sounds awesome!
He was. Thank you. Taken away from us at the age of 47 due to a insidious genetic condition.
I was gonna post “Football team, you’re history!” but it seems wrong now.
LOL, now HE would have LIKED that!
Oh good! I was afraid it might offend you. I’m sure glad it doesn’t!
@sisterofnerd you totally ended the zombie discussion… not cool
LOL, sorry! I’d rather see that than the insults about the “nerd”. Please continue…and personally, I prefer the flamethrower/chainsaw combo for my Zombie hunts.

you need-
A Tank.
#1 zombies cant get in

#3 it looks cool
#4 it would be fun
weapons – katana+barret50+m9(silenced)+chunks of raw meat.
team – military sniper+you+ninjas+anyone else.
@sisterofnerd
sorry for your loss.
A tank would quickly run out of fuel and, depending on the type of zombies, may be possible to stop or penetrate.
The raw meat may be useless, as it’s likely a zombie would prefer to chase down a large chunk of hot meat (you), rather than a cold dead slice.
A katana would likely be useless as well, once again depending on the type of zombie.
Zombie hell wouldn’t be an easy place to survive.
I’m Dave
