If zombies attacked at THIS VERY MOMENT, what would you do?
You're sitting at your computer, reading this message on Lost Zombies when suddenly a zombie bursts into the room you're in RIGHT NOW.
Are you far away enough from the door? Are your supposed anti-zombie weapons in your hands at THIS EXACT SECOND?
Please explain how you would fight off that zombie if it ran in right now. And in accordance to the whole "this zombie, that zombie", I'm just going to tell you that it is a headshot-only runner that has all its limbs intact. Scratches and bites are fatal.
Personally, I would be screwed. I'm sitting 3 feet from my bedroom door. If it burst in right now, I would fall off my chair and try to kill it with my laptop. Yeah, I don't think I'll get far.
It'll be awesome if some of you are at a coffee shop or a bar away from home. That'll be interesting.

This is the way I see it going. I hear something beating on the door. I can do this because I'm in the 2nd story living room, which is right by the door. I figure it can't be good, because it's too early for my brother's friend to be coming over. I grab my phone and go into my parents' room, shut the door and look for and load the shotgun. By this time, the zombie is in and up the stairs, at least. I aim for the legs. While the zombie is on the ground, I shoot it in the head. I go back into my parents' room and grab the box of shells. I then proceed to lock myself in the bathroom, the only room in our house that locks, and call my mother.

Because I would be sort of nervous on account of fighting a ZOMBIE for the first time and the head is a small target, in this case a small, moving target, and I might only get one shot before it could cross the room and maul me. But if I aim at the legs, I have a much bigger target and it makes getting the headshot easier, because all I basically have to do is shoot ground. This way, it requires almost no skill or luck to kill the zombie before it kills me.
I'm just being realistic about my abilities. I'd love to say that I could for sure hit the moving zombie head before it could get to me, but I can't. I might be able to do it, but I'm not 100% sure I could and I'm not much of a gambler or a risk-taker, especially with my life. Remember, in the zombie apocalypse, many of the dead and reanimated were people who overestimated their abilities.

Eh...probably pick up the file cabinet next to me and throw it at said "runner's" torso, then while it's trying to stand back up, run OUT of my office, into the garage, grab the nearest improvised weapon (wouldn't exactly pose any problem except I'd have to choose from about two hundred and fifty said weapons), run back inside, and then try to impale the runner against the wall.Then take either a large hammer or a drill, ram it into the zombie's forehead, then call it a day.
But I doubt a zombie would get into my house without my knowledge.

First my room is in the basement with only one door in. Before this door is a five foot long room that has only two doors: my room and the rest of the basement. Considering both doors are locked and relatively sturdy, before a Zed gets to the door to my room, he has to break the other door, which would make a deal of noise. Before he breaks the door to my room, I would already be quite aware of an unwanted presence, although the exact nature would probably be unknown to me. This is irrelevant, however, seeing as I have my o-tachi katana, bokken and olisi on the table I am sitting at, conveniently within easy reach and perfectly positioned so that I just have to grab and don't have to fumble to unsheath or grab the right end or anything, and one knife on my person at all times, and another good knife under the pillow on my bed eight feet away. The table I am sitting at is also a good 10 feet or so from the door, providing more than adequate response time, and I am sitting along the table so that the table is to my side, I facing the door without having the table between myself and the door, allowing very quick action. Seeing as I train Toei Ryu Iai- Batto, Tae Kwon Do, Doce Pares Escrima Kali Arnis, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Shotokan Karate, I will probably take down up to three Zeds before they make it two steps into my room without a problem. If there are more, it may get ugly, but I can promise that I will give more than I take. As an experienced fighter in the ring, on the job and in the street, I am relatively confident in being able to route any reasonable number of Zombies without risking infection. In the case of events that there are too many for me, I would retreat into my bathroom, which also has a sturdy locking door, and escape through the window, which leads to a pit under a grate. I push the grate up and get the Hell out of Dodge, carrying bokken, o-tachi katana, olisi and anything else I manage to salvage with me to the old Cold War era communications building that serves as our rallying point and early stage fortress in our Z-Day plans. The first chance I get I notify the rest of our group and when the time allows, I get a message out to Z.-C.O.R.E., Wicked Zombies, Zombie Central and LostZombies, notifying the world organizations of my local outbreak. Everything else continues as planned.
Did I forget anything?

Anyone ever notice all the posts where people have exotic weapons and are trained in multiple forms or martial arts?
This is the way I see most of us really going down.
The zeds either make alot of noise and we go investigate and end up zombie chow or they don't make alot of noise and we end up zombies chow. I'm willing to bet none of us are the super ninja's with not only an arsenal of exotic weapons that we do not know the right way to use (Katana on the table with no sheath?) that we claim to be but we are normal people that would not think twice about a zed attacking as we spe.......*chomp* braaaaaaaaaains........

Not having to fumble does not mean no saya, it means that it is laying so I won't have to fumble. In other, perhaps simpler words, I can unsheath it very quickly and easily, with as little effort as possible without it being in obi. And here is the main site for my dojo back in the States and mine here in Germany, you can verify my training if you really want. By the way, read the instructors section on the link, my Escrima Kali Arnis instructor is a 4 time world champion and the Iaido instructor is a Saiko Shihan. I cannot and will not testify as to how many people on this site are fully honest, but everything I write will stand up to scrutiny. For the record, also, please research the weapons if you don't know what they are, a simple Google image search will show you that neither bokken nor olisi is truly very exotic in nature, although you may not be familiar with them. But let's not start a pissing contest here, huh?

actually I've never heard of an O-tachi katana. It's either a tachi or a katana depending on the koshirae and geometry ,Tachi being worn edge down for ease of draw on horse back and katana edge up for drawing on foot, Being an O anything means it's going to be a bit big for inside use. My O-dachi's have 48 and 45 inch nagasa,and 18 inch tsuka I have to very carefull not to put them thru the roof just taking them out of the saya.

Should have been a comma there. Sorry, Ron. Also, thanks for the spelling check. My instructor is a Japanese native and his English is sometimes hard to understand, so spelling is very difficult, especially because we mostly only get oral explanations. 18 inch Tsuka?!? Mine is only 16 inches and that's almost too big for me. But then again, I only train Iaido and therefore am really not qualified with O-dachi. I am probably going to sell it before I go back to the United States, so let me know if you're interested, but I am not sure about international transport and sale laws, because I picked it up here. So I'm going to need some research. Thanks again, man.

Here is the link for my dojos back in the States and here in Germany, you are more than welcome to verify my training if you so choose. While you're at it, check the instructors section on the American link, you will find that my Escrima Kali Arnis instructor is a 4 time WEKAF world champion and my Iaido instructor is a Saiko Shihan. And for the record, please research weapons you aren't familiar with. A simple Google image search will show that neither bokken nor olisi are particularly exotic in nature or difficult to come by, despite the exotic sounding names. And while I cannot and will not testify as to the honesty in everyone's claims on this site, mine will bear scrutiny and I am willing to verify them. But let's not start a pissing contest here, huh?
