Just for fun... What mods would you make to your Samurai that would afford the most safety/lethality in case of a zombie outbreak?
I'd think maybe twin side mounted machine guns for rear passengers to use, with the option of rear ejector seat, should your passengers become infected. Obviously you'd want it lifted w/ nice big tires and plenty of power. And come to think of it, a hard top would be safer than the soft top...
Anything else?

(The below would be a description of a Samurai solution. TracKickVits would use other similar setups...)
From a practical standpoint (the feds might be a bit testy about packing automatics) I would:
1. mount a 12-gage pump-action overhead in a snap-lock mounting system
2. Install a NATO 7mm ammo box in place of the radio box for ammo storage.
3. Stock up on 12-gage slug rounds.
4. Store a pair of well-sharpened machetes each in a pocket installed on the back of both front seats.
5. Get a copy of Max Brooks "The Zombie Survival Guide".
6. A fold-down windshield kit might be useful...
;D

...sounds like ack has already been down this road!

One of my favorite (or favourite - if you hang daily with Brits) films is "Shawn of the Dead".
I absoutely HATE scary movies! The Zombie Genre is the leaste-hated by me in this category...
Zombie Survival Guide is a mildly amusing tome...

and the balls to use em !!!

I'm wondering if a set of Mat Trax would be better then tires...
Lockers front and rear so you don't have to worry about getting stuck as much. :)

Squishy Zombie guts everywhere!
You'll have to load up on cinderblocks to get the desired effect, though.
-
I love the Mat Trax idea. But what's the top speed with those? Some zombies can run (depending on what movies they're in).
I also might include a flamethrower. The sight of zombies on fire would add to the entertainment value.
-
Cant forget the steel plates/bulletproof glass over the windows so them zombies dont get ya. and make sure you have plenty of wiper fluid to wash the guts off your windshield.
Oh and a .50 cal swivel turret on top. Go Rambo on those zombies! :laugh:

You might want to rig something like a harpoon gun on your hood to cast the winch line (with grappling hook) over the pile of zombie bodies. You don't want to be caught out of your Zuk when zombies are afoot...
I prefer the Mat Track method of climbing over "obstacles"... Practical but a bit expensive. But then who cares about costs when the zombies are everywhere!

I see no one has added to this "Survival List" in a long time,
All great Ideas!!
On Ack's wish list, I would change out the 12 ga. slugs for double 00/9 ball or 6 ball.
Same range, but it has the same effect as a machine gun in body damage in 1 shot!!
30 cal. holes inbound, organ donor on the flip side!!
Also; Gotta add some major "Scene/Take Down" lights, Zombies for some reason work the night shift.
I'd go for the lockers, for good ground speed, you know the Mummy walked with a "Gimp" but HE CAUGHT EVERYBODY!!
My 2 Bits,

Point well taken! the more damage to the brain, the greater chance of a terminating wound - or so the Zombie Killing Therory goes. ;)
-
According to The Zombie Survival Guide a .22 is a better choice for long term survival. It will damage the brain and the amount of ammunition you can carry is much greater. Since only head shots count a bullet designed to damage as much flesh as possible can be a negative. What good is a chest shot if the target doesn't breath? It also gives you a false sense of security which can lead to wasting ammo and panicked shots in some situations.
The book is a fun read. :)

A GOOD POINT,
..........But you are under the assumpsion that I am a good shot?!!!!
I can't hit the Broad Side of a Barn..... FROM THE INSIDE !!!
For me the "Scatter Gun" is a better choice.

Plus - I bet the FPS of big shotgun pellets at close range might do enough head-damage to get the job done.
However, I am the last person to believe when it comes to dispensing projectile weapon wisdom... ;D

I'd just would not want to be the TEST SUBJECT (Dummy /Mummy/ Zombie)

Check out these to practice on , http://zombieindustries.com/ (http://zombieindustries.com/)

I checked it out; COOL !!
The life size 3-D ones are a little pricey.
I'll save this site if my "Gun Toting" buddies want to go in on these.
In the fall a "Cheap" COOL target for the same effect;
After Halloween, pumpkins go real cheap, get smaller ones about head size.
go to the "Dollar Store" and get Lime Jello,
Cut a small 2" hole in the top, pour in the "Made Jello" (Note it take about 2 big jello mixes each)
DO NOT FREEZE, but put in frige or if cool enough leave out over night.
Blast Away, the green jello and pumpkin guts,......... great effects!!!

Picked-up a copy of the "Zombie Survival Guide"
Interesting Book......After you buy into the "Solanum Virus" thing....
For Kicks, I keep this copy in the glove box so everyone will see it when you tell them to
"Pull the Hood Release Knob in the Glove Box".

MAYBE IT'S NOT ALL FAKE !!!!!!
Just read in the July/Aug 2011 Penn. State College (Alumni ?) magazine "PennStater" I found at the laundra-mat.
On page 20; ZOMBIE ANTS ! Penn State entomologists have discovered a FUNGUS that turns ants into a ZOMBIE SPORE
BREEDER for up to a year.
Here's the scary part....once in contact with the fungi, it infects the ants nervous system causing them to leave their
nest at a specific time of day, (solar Noon), seek out certain leaves at the right angle and height to face the sun, bite into the main leaf vein on the underside of the leaf, they become "Brain Dead" spore producing factories for up 1 year!!
Maybe them Jamaican Voo Doo witch doctors are on to something !!!
