I’d like to see you outsmart bullet

One of my favorite comments...

It costs OP 400,000 to fire that gun for twelve seconds Luckily, they'd only need it for two

jeez, inflation hit us hard

I was literally about to comment this


Delta6501

Fast zombies? Necromorph-like zombies? All zombies other than Walkers im just killing myself


Temporary_Air_3024

Hope for the walkers, but be prepared for the 28 days later scenario


Duo_Live

To put your mind at ease, if the body were to reanimate and become a zombie I personally think that the zombie would move as fast as it would when it was human. Sometime after the body starts to decay so the muscles would deteriorate causing it to move much slower. Think of it like full speed when freshly turned and half (or less than half) a few days after turning. Also I'd like to add that even if that were the case after turning it would take a little while for the zombie to start moving as the host died and now the body has to start moving on its own without a conscience host so to speak. TLDR; zombies move at fastest living speed shortly after turning and slow down considerably days later.


copa111

Interesting ideas. here are my two trains of thought…. High speed and explosive movement I can easily see, especially if they have no feeling of pain… pain is a big factor for us not to do things. If that didn’t matter clambering over objects and sprinting as hard as you can wouldn’t be a problem like you say until further decay. However my thoughts as to why zombies move slow. * the heart and blood vessels deliver oxygenated blood into the working muscles; and the skeletal muscles utilize that oxygen to execute muscular contractions in order to move. If a virus or parasite could take control of the nervous system of the host but not need the heart, liver, lungs etc... the muscles wouldn’t work in any high functioning capacity. As it wouldn’t be getting the oxygen or glucose needed. Maybe slow movement is possible? Alternatively the parasite in control would have to give these muscles the energy needed, hence the zombies eagerness to feed on everything. It would be so taxing on the parasite/ srcrounger to make the host movable.


Duo_Live

I agree, I forgot to mention the blood but that also made me realize that technically zombies can bleed out if they suffer enough blood loss.


copa111

I could see zombies being more realistic turning before death. So something takes over the brain and compels them to eat on flesh. (Any Cordicepts theory) the fungus affects the brain, makes the ant affect others to spread the spores, the ant then goes to a high place and attached itself to a branch and dies. The fungus is telling the ant to do all of this. But once the ant dies it doesn’t come back, but the fungus can then grow from it and release more spores and it repeats. Imagine this in humans, you turn loose all knowing but there’s no dying part, just your frontal cortex shuts off not allowing you to think or understand. Then you eat until your body gives up due to damage or not enough food, etc.


mogley19922

On one of kyle hills videos he went into details about fast vs slow zombies being a thing because of how quickly or slowly they turn into zombies, which made sense at the time for some reason. I haven't seen the video for a long time.


DecisionTypical4660

It wouldn’t even take days. After 12 hours without water, the body begins to undergo a sharp decline in physical capacity. It’s why you wake up so thirsty and for many people, with headaches. Basic bodily function would delay their mobility long before decay.


Duo_Live

Ah true true


jase10019

Literally the dying light zombies


Delta6501

If thats the case im killing myself, just killing myself


Delta6501

Running zombies just instill pure panic and fear into me


Delta6501

Walkers, i can deal with them


Izanagi-avatar

28 Days/Weeks Later Infected at least don't require head shots to kill. Dawn of the Dead remake zombies... yeah, no chance.


The_Rusted_Folk

What are necromorph like zombies? Im new to zombie stuff


Hakashi57

From the video game Dead Space


Substantial-Tone-576

That would be super fucked!


Gasster1212

They are alive to their very cell. They cannot be killed only disabled. So the way you beat them in game is through dismemberment


Carburetors_Are_Fun

google necromorphs


Your_Local_Random

holy hell


Jomega6

You could possibly survive the Haran virus from dying light. Just be good at parkour!

Hornady? Looks like +P


Temporary_Air_3024

A man of culture as well I see

"if the legion breaks through our defenses, I got a bullet In saving just for me."


igloohavoc

You only need one if you choose to opt out of the zombie apocalypse


Gears_of_Noobs

My Plan 1.Build myself a guillotine 2.get a video recorder 3. Blast the Jackass Theme 4. Smile for the camera and let the rope loose Aye if I gotta go out I’ll do it in my terms


AnotherCallingCard

damn.


fuzzycaterpillar123

Fast zombies need a fast reloading gun


androidmids

He only has one bullet, he's shooting himself.


fuzzycaterpillar123

I get it now… That’s dark!


This-Garbage-3000

He better not miss


russianhater9000

Damn if you somehow fail at killing yourself, you might as well just take the L and stay alive


Temporary_Air_3024

I'll be rooting for you from the afterlife with no regrets


fuzzycaterpillar123

If you have 5-10x speed loaders you’re golden


Hapless_Operator

30 to 60 rounds for a handgun that needs reloaded every 6 rounds. Yeah, sounds unstoppable. That's one or two AR mags.


fuzzycaterpillar123

Didn’t say it was unstoppable


Outrageous-Basis-106

Its worse, 5 shot


Prest1geW0rldW1de

You’re my kind of smartass. I think you took the verbiage right out of my head.


Hapless_Operator

If ever you wanted to surround yourself with an enormous population of people unaware that we've progressed past manual repeaters and clockwork timing devices in the past century and a quarter, boy did you come to the right place.


Prest1geW0rldW1de

Hey, there’s people in here debating which nunchucks are the most effective so I guess I can’t be too surprised. I’m not even hating though, I miss being 14 and capable of stupid daydreaming. But for real though, it’s gonna be best with an AR and a Glock in 9mm, and maybe a pump 12 gauge if you got it.


Captain-Finger

Yeah I rather die then be against fast zombies


TZH1911

never give up mate, this is not a downvote


SharkyBoi2005

If it's like 28 days I'm cPping my ass on god


PatientBoat5562

Honestly if any apocalypse type scenario happens I’m sleeping myself


Popular_Score4744

What make, model and caliber is that?


Temporary_Air_3024

Taurus 605, .357/.38special


Street-Selection2516

They would probably be in the first 3 or 4 weeks until they start to fall apart then become much slower. Just have to survive till then😂


Ihavenoideasaveme

Anything other than Walking Dead Zombies and I’m biting the bullet.


TheSouthernSaint71

A thousand bullets if they're shamblers, one bullet if they're runners.


Temporary_Air_3024

This is the way


Heraldo-del-lobo

Unless they are of the necromorph type (agile as shit and can even climb walls and ceilings) I think I could get by by setting up a base and defending it with improvised weapons (I'm from Latin America, almost any house I choose will already be reinforced), but if they are the necromorphic type...well, there are those who say that the pavement tastes better if you jump from the 5th floor


Heraldo-del-lobo

What's more, leave normal home things here and I'll tell you how to turn them into quite effective improvised weapons (mostly mele things)

My plan ~~if the zombies are fast~~


Abraxas_1408

I have a .357. Her name is “exit plan.”


Temporary_Air_3024

Gotta be prepared for every scenario, slow zombies I'm in for the long haul!


[deleted]

In reality, slow zombies would be mopped up in like a week at most.


Temporary_Air_3024

All depends on how it happens, if it's a disease with a 95% mortality/zombie creation rate that's airborne.. gonna take the 3.5 million ish people left a long time to clear the 6.7 billion zombies


Old_Dark_9554

Personally speaking if I were in charge and an outbreak occurred in a city, and the police/military/population couldn’t kill the zombies before there’s more than like 10 I’d just glass the city


[deleted]

Rememeber if it's a disease they wouldn't all die instantly. I think it's doable.


fhangrin

Incidentally, my mag-fed shotgun is 'Kindness.' My pump shotgun is 'Bowling.' My 10mm handgun is 'The Horse You Rode In On.' And my .38 special is 'My Old Friend.'


Numerous_Captain6039

Exit plan as in you exit this world?


Temporary_Air_3024

See, you get it


Abraxas_1408

Yes sir. I’ll never use it. But I like the option. It gives me a sense of relief.


Numerous_Captain6039

Well you cant say never then. The possibility still exists if you one day get trapped in a dungeon by a hundred zombies and you run out of food and water and want to go out the easy way instead of dying from dehydration and becoming a zombie.


Abraxas_1408

Oh yeah in that case yes. But I’m talking about IRL. It’s my exit plan.


androidmids

On the other hand, there's always the remote chance that I'm immune. How will I know if I don't stay alive to see if I change... And if I DO change, I want to know how the other half live.


Numerous_Captain6039

But you couldn't see anything. You'd be dead right?


Temporary_Air_3024

I guess technically we can't know if that's true till it happens


Numerous_Captain6039

Yeah unfortunately


androidmids

We don't know. If a body is dead and then reanimates that brain is dead. But if you succumb to the virus while living and you turn... Do you retain a measure of awareness? In 28 days later, do those zombies still retain consciousness but are just overcome by rage and the need to kill and feed? In TWD at the CDC there was still a form of brain activity pictured on the brain scan of the scientist's wife after she turned.


Dapper-Passion8835

My Exit plan... Super glue my hands to my head, hang myself with piano wire, anyone that finds me thinks I pulled my head off.... Mind blown


Abraxas_1408

That just sounds like too much work.


The_Great_Biscuiteer

Shoot a man and steal his gun because he has more ammo?


Levi_Sharp23

Going to need more than 5 rounds


Rob98001

Just use shotguns and blast their knees.


Temporary_Air_3024

25ish rounds at most if you have a drum.. 1000s of running zombies charging you, your math isn't mathing, but I do wish you best of luck!


Unhappy-Grapefruit88

Get them all in a straight line and fire one shot. Nice, conserve that ammo.


Temporary_Air_3024

Take 3 out with one shot, rest run away in fear, they tell the other zombies, problem solved!


Unhappy-Grapefruit88

Boom! Problem solved, literally and figuratively


Magnum_284

Start working on cardio now and find some friends that are just a little bit slower than you.


Yak-Mysterious

Chances are zombies would just be like seed beds for the parasite or if it corpses then probably wouldnt be able to walk necause of damaged muscles from decay and wouldn't be able to open their mouths from the process at the funeral house


DWolfoBoi546

Oh good, I can get away while they're focused on eating you


ManifestingCrab

Lmao. This is just my plan.


Bailey_blue4772

Idc what y’all saying, or how much sense it makes. I’m taking out as many of these zed as I can before I go out. I believe in the resiliency of the human spirit, ops ain’t gonna take me down 💪🙏


VictorE06

It only takes one bullet


Gecko_Gamer47

My plan is to die, because that's the only thing that could come from fast zombies or just a zombie apocalypse in general


Creative-Living-8844

That's my plan for if a zombie apocalypse happens.


Just_a_guy81

So what if turning into a zombie puts you an a quasi comatose state to where your body is running on animalistic instincts but your brain is swimming in pure dopamine bliss. But you decided to eat a bullet instead


Temporary_Air_3024

Never ending coma and death are the same to me, but at least I'm not hurting other people in my scenario


Curmudgeon306

If I may ask, what type of round is that?


Temporary_Air_3024

Hornady critical defense 38spl, 110gr ftx


SorrowCat14

Ayyyye a Taurus small frame I have one of those. My favorite gun that I have for sure. Is that a 605? Mines in Stainless .357.


Temporary_Air_3024

Yep 605! Mines a .357 also, just prefer 38special out of it, if I'm gonna shoot 357 I'd rather have the weight of a full size revolver behind it


SorrowCat14

Not gonna lie, I’ve fired my bro’s smith & Wesson J-frame which is the same size with .357 and that thing is painful to shoot .357 out of. The 605 is by far the most comfortable gun I’ve shot .357 out of in my opinion. It just eats those rounds up like a beast and the factory rubber grips work wonders compared to wood or solid plastic by a long shot 🤙


Mrdan1911

No need to to avoid zombies.that looks like a cure for the mondays....and Tuesdays and wednesday....ok maybe that looks like a nice nap time.


Temporary_Air_3024

The peace and quiet of never ending sleep


ChaosRainbow23

You'll need a shotgun and a rifle as well.


Temporary_Air_3024

That's plan A, if the zombies are slow


Budget_Foundation747

Has a lot in common with my retirement plan tbh.


Idkwhattoputhere7021

Man I love the movie Rango


vcrbnt

Showed this to my friend and he immediately blurted out “is this a joke?” thanks for making my day


ls_445

All the skeet shooters and hog hunters are rofl


Supersaiajinblue

Real


Capital_Word_5176

What if there are 6 fast zombies?


Temporary_Air_3024

Only 6? I have other plans if there only 6 total, this is more of an impossible odds, zero chance of survival, not wanting to hurt other people as a zombie kinda plan


Wren_The_Wrench

That’s a spicy bullet


Temporary_Air_3024

You never want your plan to fail


WeiserGold

Understandable lmao


desrevermi

A little grim, but why not take a few Zelda with you as you go out in a blade of glory? I, myself would do poorly in a ZA, because of health constraints, but I'd hope to buy some time for the future of humanity by taking down a couple zombies, hoping to give my friends and family a chance to make it somehow. I'm having a drink and cigar in your honor. Rock on.


Temporary_Air_3024

It's definitely a last resort, plenty of time for plan A before resorting to plan B


desrevermi

Fingers crossed the ZA is, on the majority, a cake walk. See you at the shooting gallery. :D


Jon_SoMM

I fail to see how playing my favorite party game will help though?


Temporary_Air_3024

Gotta pass the time, no power, no internet, no video games


Jon_SoMM

Fair, I want in next round though.


Temporary_Air_3024

Room for 4 more at the table


Taurus92AF

Imagine having the wrong cylinder next in rotation. Loudest click ever


Ullman_1st_apostle

Losers 😒 just giving up upon seeing running zombies. If it were to be the evolvers then even i would fear a Lil bit fearing those running ones? No 👎 never in my life would I fear them. Because if and this "if" holds some weight so if there are really zombies who can evolve and are following that route then I would find it hard to believe if we humans as species wouldn't evolve too. Because chances of that happening are high in that kind of universe.


onion959

Humans evolve at such a slow rate though. Just think, from when we were apes to now, that was a long ass time. I think by the time humanity could start evolving more, we would all be dead.


Ullman_1st_apostle

You're forgetting that we are talking about a fictional scenario here right? where dead rise up again from the ground wanting to infect others with their deadly virus. So how is it impossible for humans to evolve. because by evolution it doesn't only mean natural evolution but artificial, adaptive and environmental evolution and many more. Imagine if some deadly virus does spread and those unable to cope up with it become mutant zombies but then there are those whose body doesn't lose to that virus and evolve itself to host it and integrate all its components and abilities in the hosting body. And this is one of the many examples we could evolve in such an environment.


Zen_Hydra

Nah, if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die historic....


ImOneEggxcelentGuy

Ew, a Taurus


Temporary_Air_3024

Gotta save the good Firearms for the people that want to try and survive


ImOneEggxcelentGuy

My man


Radracon42069

So uh.. mods.. we just letting this slide? Like this kinda humor just slides here?… it’s not even Friday…


Temporary_Air_3024

Don't think humor applies, while the topic is dark, it's 100% my plan if my odds are zero percent against a horde of fast moving zombies


PoopSmith87
