That'll do. But if you get surrounded and overrun by them zombies, they might pull some armor off, or bite you in an unshielded spot. Good tactic, but not completely safe.
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE 1666
THE DEAD CHOSE THE WRONG CENTURY TO RISE
I'd go watch that. You could get all the HEMA and SCA people as extras and do it on a budget.
What's your primary?
Against 10 you'd be fine unless you're a moron. Against 100 it would be the workout of your life and you might still die. Against 1,000? You'd get tired and swarmed. They'd start pulling and tearing at your armor, popping rivets and breaking chainmail links. Your weapons would break or get stuck. Best case you'd be trapped under a pile of squirming flesh with the pressure of their bodies crushing you.
It's also very hot and loud. It's not so heavy you can't move properly, but forget carrying a lot of supplies with you. If you're in Georgia like in TWD, in the summer heat and humidity, you'd need gallons of water just to function.
It could be useful if used appropriately, but it's not a silver bullet.

And who is this qt 3.14?
Glaive/Halberd to keep zombies at a distance and take their heads off. Small mace to bash their heads in.
Does Army of Darkness count?
Warhammer edgy elf. Depending on the timeline, they do some horrible shit to their victims. These are just examples:
Fantasy Dark Elf:
Tears your ribcage open, plies out your beating hearts for a round if soccer. Sighs after five seconds and says:"I'm still bored."
Dark Future Dark Elf:
Abducts you to her secret city in hell, has some crazy dude with five arms torture you for centuries and gets off on your agony so the tranny super devil doesn't steal her soul.

Could you imagine being Anon Babble enough to just doomslayer zombies in a get up like that? You might be cooked if you’re going up against the 28 days later zombies though
Zombie gators
But if you get surrounded and overrun by them zombies, they might pull some armor off, or bite you in an unshielded spot.
YEAH IT'S EFFECTIVE BUT WHAT IF YOU'RE IN AN UNSALVAGABLE SITUATION THAT LITERALLY NOBODY COULD SURVIVE IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHAT THEN HUH
What in the fuck is going through the minds of you and people like you that you always think this is the big gotcha against wearing armour against zombies
Like obviously if you are literally fucking dead then the armour isn't helping you. Why are you even in that situation? You might as well be arguing that it's useless at the bottom of the sea.
why would you wade into a horde of 1000 zombies for any reason
I guess guns are useless because if you waded into a horde of 1000 zombies you wouldn't be able to shoot them all?
Objectively wrong, armor has no upside and every downside against zombies
*solves zombie films*
maybe not the full set but the chainmail seems obvious and i'm surprised nobody has thought of that in a zombie show/movie
*solves zombie films*
Full plate is overkill when a gambeson would get the job done.
The military should be able to solve most zombie films, really. Of course it depends on how the zombies specifically work, but assuming all of the following are true:
infection is spread only by direct contact with zombies
infected people show symptoms immediately (meaning they're easy to tell apart from uninfected people)
infection is irreversible (meaning there's no need to hold back in killing the infected)
zombies die for good if shot in the head
I really don't see why soldiers with guns couldn't just take care of it. Of course if there are different factors such as the virus being in the air or water, or everyone already being infected and rising as zombies upon death for any reason like in the Walking Dead, then that would be a lot more complicated.
you don't even need full plate armor, human teeth cant chew through leader. so Motorcycle gear and a helmet will be enough.
and for a weapon you literally just need a longer knife to stab em in the eye. two handed weapons are unwieldy and swinging will only tire you out quickly.
full plate armor will just make you exhausted within 5 minutes, you will fall over and zombies will bury you alive, even if they can't physically bite you
nigga just run away. zombies are rotting, they can't even walk much less run
start doing this
But anon what if they're just infected, a horde would just crush you in the armor and they wouldn't get off you until you were dead.
full plate armor will just make you exhausted within 5 minutes
full plate armour only weighs about fifty pounds
It would exhaust (You) maybe
Just be in a tank. Zombies can't eat a t72
but what if da tank is stuffed with zombies?
Well, then be outside the tank instead. They don't know how to open the hatch.
Zombie has 18 thac0, full plate is ok but by no means enough.
spiked club. you're going to be swinging it a lot so you want something light that can still mash a skull in
zombies should infect by blood/saliva/shit then spit and throw their guts at people and shit their brains out everywhere
There's a reason nearly all Zombie films are set post apocalypse rather than showing the actual civilisational collapse. Because to actually work it would require the population, military and government to act like complete retards. Proof is 28 weeks Later, where the moment the infection resurfaces, literally everyone just starts milling around an open area waiting to get bitten, while the military just randomly and bomb everything with no attempt to control the crowd or get people to hide or take cover. Just a bit of basic PPE would ruin any Zombie apocalypse, don't need full plate armour just fireman's jacket or professional motorcycle gear
Based nerd.
Yea most people have full sets of plate armor at home.
Easiest way of solving zombie films is living on a remote island. The zombies will never reach there since the ocean currents will sweep them away.
Hal Bird, the coolest lanklet I've ever seen
Hema chads win again.
why are so many of you retards clueless about 40k? Its pathetic being this fucking ignorant
pull some armor off
it's strapped at multiple points. it can't be pulled.
bite you in an unshielded spot
foot knights armor covers everything. unless the zombies are using pointed daggers to attack your armpits, you can survive being surrounded by killing them one by one.
Halberd, then flanged mace.
But I would mostly use construction equipment and traps
Get in fight with zombie, going really well
Tiny bit of infected blood splashes through visor slit
Gets in your eye

I don't watch zombie movies because I find them to be boring. That said, I also live high up in the mountains where no zombies could reach me anyway.
I have glasses on.
Why don't they just do this to the zombies? Are they stupid?
you can just wear leather and a motorcycle helmet
pike misses head
strikes heart
zombie still animated
"Oh chalice!"
Also, pic related happens
That's why you have a line of men with shorter polearms and maces behind the pikes. So while the pike holds the zombie back the second line movies forward and brains them while they are immobile.
Nothing spiky. I wouldn't want to risk getting my weapon stuck in a zombie or pull a zombie in when I pull the weapon back. Polearms are good for maintaining distance, but if they get a jump on me and close the distance, or I'm in a corridor or tight space, they can become ineffective. Probably the broad sword if I could use it with a shield.
corridor
Actually corridors are fine, I should have said cornered, with my back to the wall, or in a tight space.
you have no clue how heavy that armor is
Or use some kind of boar spear so they can’t shamble up the shaft
35-65 pounds.
A modern soldier's gear weighs between 60-120 lbs.
okay wtf that looks like pierce brosnan and the other dude is clearly Robert pattinson
how are they getting away with this
nta but isnt the soldiers weight is incorporating other things though, a weapon, ammo, food, water, etc. The weight is also distributed onto a better part of his body.
There are lots of places for a group of zombies to grab and hold. Those plates are held together by straps and laces. Not only will you be held immobile for a long time, but the zombies will eventually pull off some of those plates and expose flesh
the weight of armour is distributed ideally across the entire body, a soldiers pack not so much as it places most the load on the lower back. A knights other equipment i.e an arming sword and maybe a polearm would weigh 8lbs maybe so still less.
Fuckin nerd lmao
Something that would be hard to grab or bite through would be preferable to a full suit of plate armour. Steel plates might be hard to bite through, but they're made to defend against steel weapons, not teeth. There's no point in wearing steel when something lighter and more flexible will do just as good a job with less hassle. Steel plates can also be grabbed, and with enough force (multiple zombies) pulled off. You don't want to wear something that can be used to easily immobilise you. You want something close fitting and smooth with no ridges or joints.
*solves zombie films*
Use the shipping container as the entrance to your base, and tip over two steam rollers to create a narrow entrance, the zombies will force each other through trying to get in
What if you start overheating or get absolutely drenched and there's nobody to assist you with removing your armor?
ITT
I read Zombie Survival Guide before I learned how to jerk off and never stopped doing either
Getting away with what?
dies of heat stroke
What if the zombie blood & virus gets into the pores of the wood and reanimates it
They'd just tear you apart
bow/crossbow a shit
piercing/slashing blades inefficient
flail a joke
morningstar too heavy
cudgel not much lighter than steel and less damaging
spiked club way too thick and heavy, spikes can get stuck
It's gotta be the flanged mace. Durable, powerful, reliable and has the choppiest "blade" of the blunt weapons, perfect for splitting a head and killing zombies in 1-2 solid overhead blows.
akimbo crossbow
spear + dagger
reach and emergency backup + CQC
a quilted suit would be much more appropriate
weapon, ammo, food, water, etc.
None of which a knight in full ate would carry.
And those things are hardly going to double the weight.
The wearables and pack of a modern soldier are heavier than full plate, even without weapon, food, water, etc.
WWZ explained in detail why this is a horrendous idea
Get this: A zombie apocalypse, but set in medieval times.
Flail is pretty underrated, especially against zombies.
longer reach than mace
no chance of getting stuck like swords
can swing around objects, letting you brain a zombie while remaining safely behind cover
it just works
WWZ is shit.
