[edit] Yes, I do know of a place where there are decommisioned tanks in storage, they don't have live rounds or anything, and I don't think the engine works, but if you had a modern one, you'd be set, just drive your way to freedom! [edit]
I think a great form of personal armor would be those leather suits that motorcycle racers wear. Its tight and I don't think a zombie would be able to bite through it. I also think that fuel would not be a problem because there would be so many abandond vehicals that you could simply syphen gas out of.
And maby if I'm lucky I can use the armory a few blocks from my house as a base of operations. The place is something of a fortress with iron cages over the windows on the first floor, huge iron gates over the large doorways and really heavy wooden doors over the smaller doorways. The place would also have all the vehicals and wepons a person could ever need (artillery , rifles, machien guns, grenade luanchers and anti tank rockets).
There is one problem however, Hamilton (the city I'm in) is in no way a small city, it has almost 400 000 people in it so thats alot of zombies to kill <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Yeah, pistols are not easy to aim with. Even if you are dead on at 7 yards (the qualifying distance for a police officer) the average accuracy would probably be 75% for head shots. At 10 yards, it drops to like 40%. Remember, when you fire a weapon, the gun recoils before the bullet comes out. Just enough to make such an attempt at a headshot hard. And this is just my use with .45 cal. pistols. They don't kick as fast, 9mm kicks faster and harder, but do have a higher clip capacity. SGs are better for close zombies or short-medium range groups of zomibes. Can take out a few with a single shot. A rifle is kinda useless, as it is really a bulky pistol and most of the time, you won't have a distance advantage against the zombies.
The safest thing to do in such a crisis is try and get to a safer place (small town) where you can exterminate the zombie hoards, round up as many survivors as possible and turn the town into a fortress. But DON'T broadcast about it to other survivors out there. If zombies have basic instincts, their most prevelant one would be the human's need for safety and it would remember about your little town and you'd have thousands if not millions of zombies beating at your gates.

The reason for tight clothes and short hair is simple, less for the zombie to grab onto and pull you into their clutches, just like why you should not have long hair and loose clothing around exposed machinery.

I guess that could work, maybe against a few zombies. But if your in a city and zombies are as thick as snow you'll find it hard to be able to avoid them. The only thing I can really think of a sure thing way to get out of a infested city is by using the sewers.
You might encounter a zombie or two down there, but if you have a flashlight and a crowbar you should be fine. Just don't mind the smell. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Man, I have finally found something to be nerdy about...Zombie Survival!!! I love this book, even though if it is humor, it does have basically the most thought put into it. If any book can make me get off the computer and read, than that my friends is a good book!
But this thing needs an index...

Then our collars will go off and one of us will have to kill each other unless there's a pretty big plot whole where that doesn't happen but it'll be okay cause it'll just be some wierd Japanese film nobody has seen and won't get pop culture references to when made on an Internet message board at 3AM.

You guys know what, zombie survival would make the ultimate reality show, go to some big city, turn everyone into a zombie, and than drop the contestants in to the city, give them a few basic necessities, and time to learn the city (maps of models) they could have goals, like break into national gaurd and get weapons, seal off super market and grab food, kill 100 zombies, and instead of getting kicked off the show, they just get eaten!!!
Make it "Celebrity Zombie Survival", because we all know celebrities make everything better.... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
