307,006,550… Say only 1/2 are turned. 150 million zombies Total versus roughly two million in the entire US military. Narrow it down to actual equipped war fighters state side and you’ll be looking at less than 200,000 easily. Of that they’ll be spread out and over worked easily over run by the 1:1,530 odds not to mention the lack of ammo and supplies that are needed in such a short amount of time to fight a fast spreading disease.
Feel free to correct my math if I’m wrong. It’s early on Monday still. lol
I say the same thing! This weekend I re-watched season one with my wife and her brother and we had the same conversation. Why not mount a .50 on the RV and a jeep or two? They walked by about 10 M16’s…really? Couldn’t stop and grab a couple?
Also they are driving shitty ass cars. Stop by the dealer and get yourself a brand new Z71 or something already. God get rid of the 1978 Bronco. Oh yah strip down the brand new Challenger for parts for your shitty carb’d hoopties.
Numbers:
Almost 7 billion people in the world. From the looks of it I’d say 7/8 of the population turned. 6.125 billion zeds world wide. Asia will have a really tough time, even Europe once the zeds start traveling for food.
Right, but after the first few zombies are noticed… something nationally would be done immediately to contain this. Obviously those infected… unfortunately are going to get a firing squad funeral. I mean, its not common sense what would need to be done after a short time.
So - this particular brand of zombie. I’ve noticed they don’t seem to posses any sharpened senses, such as hearing, sight, or even smell. They’re essentially just regular humans, only dead (unfatiguable) and cannibalistic, right?
For the most part. They do however show signs of being slightly intelligent. When the party was trapped in the department store some of the zombies used bricks to smash the door glass to get inside, the black kids mother zombie could open a door handle, and the zombies chasing the cop and Korean kid started to climb the escape latter. :-/ These zombies also kill and eat animals.
Slightly different then your standard Zeds.
Zr1 with a .50 cal blazin’ with the hatch filled with m16’s beer and ammo! 'MERICA
Are they fast moving zombies or slow walkers?

Are they immune to sunlight or can they only come out at night?
That’s Texas dude lol. Hog hunting!
They can only go as fast as the body they occupy allows. They are zeds not vamps so they can go out in light. (Though I can understand the confusion with I Am Legend.)
Just watched all of Season 1 yesterday, time would have been better spent re-watching any of Romero’s movies.
This is will agree with 100% Romero was awesome but he has sold out more and more over the years.
The wife and I were talking about the vehicle selections. I can guarantee motorcycle would be at the bottom of my list. Pretty sure I’d quickly grand theft auto one of those miltary hummers they keep driving past. Runs on diesel, which you should be able to scavenge lots of (trucks, farms etc), tough, plenty of them around for parts after a major natural disaster.
This show has really made me reconsider the ideal zombie weapon though. You don’t think about how a gun going bang draws a lot more attention than the crossbow’s silent kill. Plus, reusable ammo.
I really like the show but definitely some odd decisions. Not grabbing more weapons? Hiding UNDER cars? Not telling blondie to just GTFO if she wants to kill herself? We have enough problems that we don’t need to deal with your emo ass right now.
Hummer for sure. Maybe even take one of those Hybrid Chevy Tahoes that generate 120v power for a nice whip to live out of. 20/23MPG plus a generator built in for the win!
My stuff would be…
<3 walther and good call on the shark suit
I am a big believer in loud noises and the classics
I will take one of the following
for long range:
backup:
close quarters
general purpose (must not forget the bayonet!)
one of these with one of the many Ma Deuce’s laying around strapped into the back
ok back to my paper, thanks for the distraction! 
This show just makes me want to play dead island and buy a cross bow. It is funny because it is so typical and predictable, but epic at the same time. My roommate and I started calling out hits to which we were usually accurate so thus making it funnier/more epic. Like, “face? face… face…? FACE!!!” Or calling out zombies before they appear. All in all the cheesy vs entertaining factor is still well in the green. I’m interested to see if any zombies to start to learn or evolve or whatever. It only seems like some grasp the concept of how to turn a door knob, or use a brick as a tool, or whatever.
I enjoyed the first season, but after watching the first episode of season 2 last night they better step their game up or I’m done with it. That was just horrible - the only part I enjoyed was watching my GF’s reaction to them gutting the one guy to look for the girl.
I’m still a fan after the series 2 premiere, but Frank Darabont was fired from the show, so it’s hard to say where the series end up after episode 4 or 5…
All I wanna know is WTF happened to Rowdy Burns?
You’re all forgetting one of the most effective zombie fighting weapons.
If it’s good enough for crushing babby seal heads, it’s good enough for me.

I’ve been reading the comics since this premiered last year. They’ve deviated a bit from the source in a few ways. Some good some Bad.
Darryl the redneck ninja is one of the additions I’ve enjoyed.
When choosing a melee weapon you must take into account the blood spatter. The less blood the better. You dont want any getting into your eyes or mouth or you risk infection. Blunt weapons with a decent range may be better, such as a bat. Not without its flaws, but it may reduce spatter.
I’m sorry but some of this now is just going against what they showed in the first season from what I saw at least. People can hide under cars and not say a word but none of the zombies find them? I thought they can smell the living? More stuff as well but still.
