Most effective way to take down large groups of zombies?
What would be the most effective way to kill large groups of zombies attacking your survival HQ? I think that taking gas tanks and spreading them around the battleground then shooting them from above when zombies are around them would be a really great way to do it. Fun, takes out a large amount of enemies within a decent permiter, what more could you ask for?

To expand on the run them over idea.get ahold of a large bull dozer and just crushthem.It would'nt be too difficult to "zombie proof" the bulldozer.Just weld some heavy duty fencing arond the cab like a shark cage.I would tend to stay away from ideas using fire because no mater how hard you try to be careful fire has a tendancy to get out of hand.burning zombies don't alawys die quick and flaming zombies trying to beat your door in can get you BBQed in your own fort.Also the gas could better be used for a vehicle born escape or powering generators.

Yeah the frag grenades are fun but in the end you just blow holes in them you might put a few down but most will just get up and shamble after you and you've wasted a grenade. I like the bulldozer Idea but it's best as a prepared defense device use it to clean them off your primiter ounce in awhile like bugs and a windshield wiper.dig your big hole and push a few in every so often it could help with the boredom like a video game (assign points) and your cleaning up the neighborhood to boot...(still looking for that silver lining")...L8Ron:{

Obivously most of you have no expierence with grenades or IED's. I do. Shrapnel is the main cause of casualities, not the blast. A grenade is designed to throw hundreds of shards of steel at supersonic speeds. These puncture organs and sever blood vessels. This leads to massive blood loss, shock, and finally cardiac arrest. This simply will have no effect on Z's.
If you have propane tanks they would be better used for heat, cooking/boiling water, or generators.
Automatic weapons are no good as well. They simply do not have the accuracy required for reliable head shots. You will be only wasting ammo.
If confronted by large numbers you set up way too close to a population center. Your best bet would be to use scouts to detect approaching Z's and take the appropriate action. If faced with small numbers dispatch them as quickly and quietly as possible. If faced with large numbers it would be wise to relocate.

I am a certified lvl 3 Explosives Hazards Awarness Trainer through the the army and by and large you're statement stands. However close contact to large explosions can and does cause massive brain trauma. Enough to kill, hitting one in the head with a bat will not have near as much effect as the blast over pressure caused by close proximity to a large explosion. But grenades prolly wont do the trick and if you have gas of any kind better save it.

Absolutely. Large explosions are incredible in their power. I've witnessed airstrikes and the like firsthand...absolutely amazing. The frag idea and propane tanks just can't compare to a 1000 lbs bomb. But I know what you mean about the damage a large blast can inflict.

Dude, you guys rock, so far the smartest things I've heard said. Honestly though, if you're in a scenario such as this, the idea should be to cut a path through them with accuarte semi-auto weapons fire and hand to hand combat in order to pull out and move your teams to a more secure location.
Running over Z's is a terrible idea and waste of resources, using fragmentary and explosive weapons even more so a bad idea, and setting the fucks on fire...No good.
Set up a shield and phalanx team at the front, using plywood shields, riot shields and full body armor, such as you would see cops in fire gear. Every other man melee, every other man armed. Use an over head cover guard to begin carving a bath with small arms fire carefully aimed at their heads and begin to clear a path through the mob. Follow this up with your mobile stations intersperesed with walking guards and should everyone be well trained enough, the last people out should be your overhead snipers, and you should make it out with little issue.
If they outnumber you to where this can't work, or you just don't have the resources, you were fucked in the first place.

On the grenade argument, what if one used a pulse grenade rather than a frag grenade?
My favorite bait is putting someone I wouldn't mind losing in the group (ie, the one who can't shoot for shit, the one who steals the rations, the one who farts too much in his sleep) into a fair sized cage about 7-8 feet off the ground. Have them scream a few times. The zombies will stand under him/her stupidly for -weeks- while you pick them off, one headshot at a time.

burning is the best way. maybe a homemade flame thrower. only drawback.. if they get near your safe house your fucked. it will have to be an opperation where you lure them away set them a blaze and jump in your getaway vehicle and burn out

Here's an idea for you if you're going insane, or completely surrounded by zombies with no way out.
1)Pour nitro or gunpowder all over the ground in your house.
2)Pull out massive flamethrower.
3)Wait for the zombies.
4)When all zombies are inside, FIRE!!
5)Wait for the boom.
Great way to kill yourself and some zombies.
