Yeah, I'd skip the extra armor. Better off putting rebar at head level on the front grill. You run over a zed, they can still bite. Pop a few skulls while they're still standing and you win.
their are fueling stations all over military installations. more than one, plus the fact theirs more than one humvee. im good! we've also have MRAP's, M88's and my personal favorite, the paladin. im pretty much set to rock and roll.
truly, the paladins very uneccesary. as are the machine guns, and anything automatic. those weapons are based on harming your opponent. you can shoot a zed till you cut it in half, but all that its done is make it able to crawl, and youve just wasted ammo. you cant hurt a zombie, only destroy. and the paladin is too much. you cant have any SNT effect, or have the ballon effect work, or anything. all you do is create a lot of noise, and more zombies come.
This is my plan for cool-weather, since I live in Arizona.

Step 0. I will definitely know of a zombie outbreak before it happens, because I know what to look for in the news that would entail zombie-infestation. Random homocide (shot through the head), murder involving cannibalism, etc. If these reports become more and more frequent, I will start making calls and getting a "battle plan" figured out with about four of my friends, including where to obtain weapons from, and where to hide out.

Step 1. Act upon plans the moment we have reason to believe there actually is a zombie attack, i.e., grab the Zombie Survival Guide and the Worst-Case Scenario Handbook, haul ass to the knife store at the mall and wherever we decide to get the weapons and tools we need, pack them up.

Step 2. Head to the Army Surplus Store (and live up-stairs) for as long as supplies and weather hold out, make plans about where to go next, get ready to leave at a moment's notice.

Step 3. Head out to the next location, get more supplies.

Step 4. Repeat as necessary, hopefully more toward the north.

Please, if you have a problem with me using the Zombie Survival Guide, post it on my page as well as on here.
Never heard of the Worst-Case Scenerio Handbook. Who wrote it?
people, if your on this site, you should be worshiping the damm guide.

that book is the best thing that has ever happened for zombie hunters like me. it helps us educate the masses.
My plan of action would be as fallows:

If the outbreak is just starting to take over the small city near where I live, I'd play off the chaos to collect needed supplies, such as firearms, food, building materials and so on (as well collect a gun or two that I really wanted).

I would have to be quick on the go since they (according to my prediction) would be trying to get across all the bridges in the middle of town*, so I would have to wade my way to the best pawn shop I know of collect a few weapons, drive back up street to snag another rifle, then bomb it to the other side of town to collect ammo and other supplies from Wal-mart and the Big 5 there.

{*=In grants pass there are a total of three bridges that pass over the rouge river}

of course I would have to find means in getting a mold for .44 and .50 cal bullets/balls for my colt .44 black powder revolver and .50 cal Hawken rifle while I have over enough caps and I can salvage gun powder from cartridge bullets. and to find more mags for an M1 Garand

anyways, after I get what I can get, I'll make my way back up the hill via a back road.

note that I'll be driving one of my dad's trucks to collect in all this.

since I live outside of town the chances of them shamblers coming up hill are slim but It never hurts to receive fleeing survivors.

after that..well, just wait and see if the worst of the worst happens first.
What I mean by playing off the chaos would mean when people are in a panicked-looting frenzy
Using smokeless powder in traditional muzzle loader is very dangerous and should never be attempted, unless your itching to seriously hurt yourself. Only use powders designed for youe firearms.
Well, first off, assuming I'm at home alone, the first thing I'd do is batten down the hatches. Temporary safety is a plus. Lock the door, turn off all lights, lock all windows, blinds shut, etc. After that, i hit my closet and grab a backpack and two duffels. One gets filled with food (Non-perishables first) and water. The other one gets clothing, general useful items (storm radio w/ Batery & AC power, rechargable flashlight, nylon rope, etc.) and a few things required to keep my sanity. (laptop, iPod and charger, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.)
Next up is a quick search of the house for the first convenient cell phone and grabbing a revolver, hunting knife with about a 3" blade, hunting rifle, and any extra ammunition I can find for the firearms (Goes into the backpack). (Knife has a sheath, rifle has a strap, revolver has a holster) Next, pile all of these items next to the back door except for the revolver and the knife.
Grab the car keys and some firecrackers (goes into pocket) and peek out the window, and see how many zeds are around. If there's a relatively low number, slip out of the door and get to the back of the van, opening the back doors. Quickly and quietly load everything into the back, then jump into the back myself, closing the doors behind me. Clamber up to the front of the van and bang, I've got myself some transport.
Now, if there is a somewhat large amount of the deceased around, the plan for loading up goes basically the same, only with more emphasis on speed than quietness (and with the revolver in an easy-to-draw position). If I get extremely lucky and they never notice me (either large or small groups), back the van up to the shed and load it with tools (shovel, crowbar, hammer, powered screwdriver, non-powered screwdriver, nails and screws), gas cans and also grab whatever wood can fit in the back.
Then it's down the street to the local gun store, where if the zeds aren't super-concentrated outside and ther aren't any hostile survivors looting it, I go in to grab some convenient looking weapons, as well as whatever ammunition I need for them and the two I already have (I'm not counting on this trip, see, as it might not be safely possible, but if I can then the extra guns are always nice.) Repeat the stealthy loading process, and we're back in the van headed to the gas station. Fill the van to the top with fuel and fill the gas cans (not very much capacity, but every little bit helps.).

More to come when i figure it out.
After years in the military combined with the fact that i happen to love to camp/track/hike/fish/hunt, and I love weapons my gear is always ready to go. My pack sits in my trunk with all the nececities for survival not to mention my survival kit, which means no matter where I am when the outbreak occurs I'm at least partially prepared. If I'm at home I would also have the majority of my weapons, that would make things easier and I live on a third floor corner apt. with a good view of the approach from all directions. Once the initial hysteria subsides I would go to ground and make for the mountains. (Vague on purpose dont want anyone getting to my gear before I can and dont want a crowd showing up at my favorite hidaways). If at work it might even be easier for me. I work at night primarily and have access to "equipment" that within a few minutes could make me even better prepared than had I been at home. Also if this occures in the middle of the night It should make it easier to get out of town being that most people will be eaten in their beds... bad for them... good for me. Also I am very well read and practiced in both wilderness survival and combat. Combat experience is just that and there is no substitute for experience. As for general survival experience is the best teacher but there are some really good books out there, some of my favorites include Army Field Manual 21-76, SAS field survival handbook, Tom Brown Field guides (wilderness survival, city and suburban survival, edible and medicinal plants, nature observation and tracking) read these and stay well practiced on the trails, in the wild, and at the range and you'll be far ahead of the game when the proverbial shit hits the fan.
i live in an urban area, so i would go to the nearest high school, lock up the gates fill buckets with water, bring in non perishable food, and build ladders leading to the roofs just in case.
