This is a completely serious club, people who make a decent enough plan will be able to comment and review other plans. Here is some zombie info.
run/walk: they walk
scream/groan: they groan
day/night: All da time babey!
what they attack: EVERYTHING THEY HEAR, OR THAT MOVES!
survivors: very very little, like near 100-1000 people on EARTH
guns: This is real time, being your neighboorhood and everything, you have all the resources you have in your house.
cure: there is none.
where to go: so long as you have a plan to get their, go for it.
how much you can carry: AGAIN, THIS IS REAL TIME
family members: theres a high chance they are zombehs too. able to join: if you didn't read, just make a good plan.
durability: they can take ALOT of damage, worse than playing last stand 2 with just a pistol for the entire game when the zombies have twice as much life.
doors: they can't work a doorhandle for the mostpart of their brain is already rotted I am still making my plan right now, but I think some of you can do it. Let the zombie surviving begin!
Which i would endeavour to be in a real life situation. You should never get up close and personal if you dont have to.
In any urban environment you will never be a long way away. You may be 30ft tops before zombies pop out and eat you.
It would be ideal, but its not likely. Getting out of a city is harder than it sounds. You can't just hop on a motorcycle or in a car and drive away. It's not that simple.
I cant think of many situations where youd have to clear a building. This about survival and staying hidden, not acting as a one man swat team. Of course initially you would need to gather supplies, but after that the best plan would be to go to ground.
Supplies, which I would hope you would look for. Also, shelter. Like I said, getting the hell out of Dodge isn't as simple as it sounds.
An ideal weapon is an assault rifle, but those aren't very common. Hunting rifles are semi-common, but you'll never be able to use it as a short range weapon. Shotguns are by far the most common, and the most practical for any backup weapon or using it at close range, which will be most of your fights.
Thanks, alt, for your comments. I admit my plan had some flaws, but you seemed to have misunderstood a few things, like about the truck. I've drivin it before for my dad, when I went with him on his trips, so I CAN drive it. What I meant by "impossible to control" is that it wouldn't be impossible to avoid things like cars in the middle of the road, zombies, etc etc. Other than that, you have some good points.
Of course a shotgun, but like you pointed out, there are better alternatives.
There are always better alternatives to anything, but that doesn't mean they're there. The most practical things aren't.
Also note im from the UK, so no firearms are available unless you happen to be very fortunate in coming across a dead soldier or policeman.
Grab a hammer.
Depending on where you live it is. A small car would probably be ideal.
No one is taking into account destruction, jammed roads, and of course, zombies. You are going to run into zombies. At close range at that. Hitting them with a car is suicide, as it will severely damage any average car. If you swerve to avoid them they have a chance of latching on to your car. Best solution: shoot them with a shotgun.
Nope, not at the moment. Just asking these to clear up any confusion I have or anyone else has. And to check what your response it, for example if your were the typical "I', 10, grab my gun and shoot dem in da head" type of Zombie thread poster.

Doesnt mean clearing out buildings with a shotgun is the best solution to your problems either.

Cars are surprisngly tough. Unless you plan on mowing into a crowd of zombies, i dont think this is a big issue.
At close range at that.
So you wouldnt be able to get up to speed enough to damage your car.
If you swerve to avoid them they have a chance of latching on to your car.
Latching onto a car is no mean feat. Also, these are semi retarded zombies we are talking about, not athletes with split second reaction times. Honestly i do not think this is very likely at all.
The biggest problem would be raods clogged up with cars. The solution is to move between them in a small car and head for rural areas where the traffic is thinner where you can pick up speed.

You hit any object weighing 200 pounds it's going to damage it. You have to hit it traveling 50mph for it not to latch on to your hood.

They would grab onto your hood.

They don't feel pain, and are nothing but instinct. They have a chance of latching on. They are going to run at you until they die.

Unlikely. A small car wouldn't be able to do that unless it was a Smart Car. In which case, you are begging for death. You hit a motorcycle (which will more than likely clog up that area) and your car is done.

It's suicide to do it with any hunting rifle, and a melee weapon isn't going to cut it. Assault weapons are out of the picture, and pistols aren't going to be powerful enough.

Hey, now, not so fast. 1. a melee weapon COULD cut it. Literally. Grab a chain saw and you could clear out a small/medium building. 2. A pistol wouldn't be, but a magnum would be. Don't even gatta be a super powerful one, just a regular old Double Eagle.
Oh god, way too much stuff I have no intention of reading. I'll just answer whatever caught my eye.
Fine, I'll redo mine. But first, explain to me what's so bad about 12 gauges. I can carry a fully loaded one, I can shoot a fully loaded one. What's the big deal?
Few shots can be loaded at once. Buck shot is not effective at longer range. Buck shot is more likely to not kill a zombie. Slugs are heavier than regular bullets.

Okay, first and foremost, if there's that many zombies, DON'T ENTER THE BUILDING. JESUS CHRIST. I mean, it's almost never necessary to "clear out" a building.
No sh*t Sherlock. Melee should only be used as a primary weapon in extreme cases. Assault weapons are probably your best bet to be honest. A well placed pistol shot can be just as effective as a well placed shotgun shot.

How are you supposed to know?
Assault weapons are probably your best bet to be honest.
Assuming you can get one.
A well placed pistol shot can be just as effective as a well placed shotgun shot.
But you have one slug, not three. You don't even need accuracy with a shotgun.
Buck shot is more likely to not kill a zombie.
Aim it in the general area of its head. It will die.
Buck shot is not effective at longer range.
Which is unlikely in any urban setting, which will be the primary area when your journey first starts out.
Few shots can be loaded at once.
10. It's enough.
You get 30-40 with an AK, and unless you have gone through war and been stress trained to not keep firing, you will keep firing. Your first instinct will be to kill anything and everything in front of you.
Shotguns disallow you from keeping sustained fire. In some instances, this is bad, in others, necessary. You are unlikely to face more that 15 zombie at any one time, and this is in extreme cases. Unless stated otherwise, they aren't the best teams ever.
Melee should only be used as a primary weapon in extreme cases.
You aren't. But if you realise that you bit off more than you can chew, just GTFO. You should never have the mentality "I'ma burn this mufu*ka to the ground!"
Assuming you can get one.
Yes.
But you have one slug, not three. You don't even need accuracy with a shotgun.
You're aiming for the head. A zombie can survive a shotgun body shot. Not always, but sometimes.
Aim it in the general area of its head. It will die.
You just said you didn't need accuracy at all. Now you're saying you have to aim at it's head. Also, you need to destroy the brain, not scratch it. The majority of the shot must hit it's target, none of this "general direction" stuff.
Which is unlikely in any urban setting, which will be the primary area when your journey first starts out.
Just how dense is your "urban area"?
10. It's enough.
Not if there's more than 10 zombies.

One of the main detriments of assault rifles. The auto-fire. Also, trigger happy fu*k nuts will die first.
Shotguns disallow you from keeping sustained fire.
You're going to keep firing until it's dead. Like assured it's dead. Shotguns give you enough time to see whether or not they are.
Just how dense is your "urban area"?
Dense enough. It isn't a cluster of buildings, but any city scape, be it straight out into the suburbs, is going to be think enough to be a pain. Literally.

Unless you are the Buddha, if you aren't trained, you will too. Stress is not something we can comprehend until we experience what we are envisioning. It's not something that can be considered. You can say all you want, any one of us doesn't know for sure.
Not if there's more than 10 zombies.
Which is unlikely. Unless you take the suicidal path of the downtown core.
You just said you didn't need accuracy at all. Now you're saying you have to aim at it's head. Also, you need to destroy the brain, not scratch it. The majority of the shot must hit it's target, none of this "general direction" stuff.
You don't. You just need to lift it up and fire. But I would hope a blind person knows the difference between where your feet are and where the head 'should' be located.
You're aiming for the head. A zombie can survive a shotgun body shot. Not always, but sometimes.
It'll stumble around for long enough to get another shot off.
You aren't. But if you realise that you bit off more than you can chew, just GTFO. You should never have the mentality "I'ma burn this mufu*ka to the ground!"
It might be too late. You're going to need it on the way back out, unless you cleared every room (like you're supposed to do). If you run into 20 zombies, run like hell. But keep your weapon at the ready, I don't care what it is.
Assault weapons are probably your best bet to be honest.
Yeah, honestly, if your going to clear out a room full of 10+ Zeds, your best choice is an assault rifle, then again, the chances of you being trained like Military are slim, and other training (range) a litter better, but still slim.
Fact: Don't go into a building that will have more Zeds by the looks of it, and don't enter areas that you don't have an exit planned.....

When the entire place is ravaged, you won't know. The floorplan is out of the picture, unless you can get on the city database, which will probably be destroyed.
Every time you go into a place for supplies, it's a shot in the dark. You have no idea what lies on the other side.
