The use of flashbangs in a Z world.

i was pondering on the use of flashbangs for anti-zombie tactics. seeing as how zombies rely more and sight and hearing than anything, it made sense (to me anyway) that since flashbangs affect these two senses, that they could buy you vital seconds in order to escape, reload, attack, etc.

wat do you guys think about this?

p.s. wasn't sure this was the best category, but o'well lol.

"Oh shit we can't see now, but zombies use all of the senses equally and can smell us out!"

Wouldn't work. The best tactics are stealth and silence.

P.S. Zombies who have no senses left from being severely disfigured or what have you, can still find prey.

I have no idea. Use being humans rely on sight heavily. Zombies use all senses equally so it's easy to switch up tactics.

all u have to do is throw the flashbang, turn and cover youre ears or hide behind a wall, and cover ur ears.

I would say that using a flashbang would be committing suicide. EVEN if it stunned them, confused them, killed them, none of that matters if a flashbang explodes, and causes and insanely loud noise that attracts every Z in a 5 mile radius to your location.

In Lamen's terms:

Silence + You = Less Zeds
Flashbangs + You = More Zeds

Just sayin'.

yes, but if you throw it or set a rigged timer or remote detonator to it you can use it as a distraction and send the zeds into a totally different direction

good point.

risky though.

yeah most dangerous part would be getting it into the right location. you could probably set it up as a kill trap in an alley, a little more planning but it could work

I would think that maybe a flashbang could be used to distract a zombie or few.

First of all, my credentials are that I'm a certified pyrotechnician, so I can talk about "flash bangs" and other like items allllllll day long. And I'd love to.

I love, love, LOVE this idea. What I'd like to see happen is to set up a stash of mortars and load them in an area...then set them off via wireless box and watch the zombies flock to the action. Take a few heavy guns to them and you have zombie hamburger. Its so simple and yet so profound.

Why thanks Paul. Your little ones are invited to watch the action when it happens! Craaaazzzzyy shit man! I could turn zombie death into an art form with some fireworks and a little musical choreography.
