Seriously guys, protection and zombieproof gear is for pansies. The only thing that's going to keep you safe is looking as sharp as possible. How will you dress to kill during zpoc? Nearly every zombie film has some badass in a slick costume at some point or other. I don't want to hear about your fancy 'chainmail' or 'flak jacket' rubbish, will you go for the ninja style? Biker? Will you go for the mysterious cloaked stranger effect or the obvious warrior? Get inventive here.
Edit: C'mon lads, you're doing it wrong. You're being, dare i say, practical..? I want interesting, not sensible.
A white (soon to be red) tux
white top hat
aviators
white bandanna over the face.
RAW
no but seriously
basic ACR -black
some sort of tac vest
some oak boots
something to hold my Taurus 1911
seriously basic shit
fancy and complicated=dead
Now I may not have a mouse farts amount of time served in the military, but I do know how useful a tactical vest can be. If you want to carry your magazines in your pant pockets, god bless ya, but me, personally, I'd rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it, KAPEESH?!
My epic apocalypse outfit consists of:
- A bike helmet
- Pair of sunglasses(GOTTA LOOK COOL WHEN SHOOTIN)
- A paint mask(hell i dont want to catch it)
- Pair of blue jeans(<_<)
- My beautiful sneakers, so blue and shiny and bloody
- This shirt:
- A teddy bear taped onto my bicycle helmet
Throw in a shotgun and a baseball bat and theres my epic outfit
dude, think simple. 1 piece coveralls with various backpack and tool/weapon belt's(batman style), assorted mop4 gear that will probably be laying around soon enough. masks will come and go. boots are great for stomping brains in but weak in terms of playing the quiet game. chucks are great but hell on your feet, no real protection either.
your gear like your choice of weapon really depends on the situation at hand.
there is no universal zombie proof gear/guns.
p.s.22cals are easy to silence, and you can literally carry 100x more of them the any other modern round.
