    Am I the only one for whom standard hallway conversation seems to be about the correct weapon and ammo choice for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse.

    Alas, this is likely to be the only conversation I have at work about the zombie apocalypse.

      No. A similar discussion happens at our office roughly once a week. :laugh:

      This is a daily discussion in our office. That, and how stupid the people on "The Walking Dead" are... still fun to watch though!

        Nope. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning is information exchange about the last weekend, the other days of the week about each others plans for the next weekend.

          I often worry that a zombie apocalypse has begun as a drive to work in the mornings. Then I think, would zombies really congregate at bus stops on the outskirts of Walsall?

              The correct weapon is one with out ammo. For 1 your ammo can run out as the zombies will bring normal societal economics to a grind. For 2, when they are flooding in and you need to reload you will really wish you had a 4 ft long Katana to just hack away. I never understand why this is not a given. Every zombie flick they have some overpowered gun and either run out of ammo or get flooded to quick and can load/shoot fast enough. A swarm of zombies is nothing when I am twirling like a ballet dancer with an additional 4 ft reach of severing/decapitating capability :)

              Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                      SCRUM meetings and Zombies is there a difference?

                      You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                                If zombies were flooding in, do you really think you could wind up and just crank their heads up with a 4ft blade? Can I buy weed from you?

                                    I believe a small caliber weapon would suffice, enough to shoot your partner in the leg. Just remember you don't need to outrun the Zombie just the person you're with.

                                        I would stand a better chance than with a shotgun or some ammo based weapon that will inevitably require me to need to break to reload while still being flooded. With a Katana you can cut your way to an escape OR you can barricade yourself and use decapitated zombies to further barricade yourself in:) Difficult to do wither of those when reloading or out of ammo ;)

                                          Naa that will just way you down. Must be fast like a ninja. Zombies out number you vastly so armor is pointless. Armor is used for long battles. You do not want to fight an army of zombies for long. Cut and run and spin and cut :)
