...I'm sorry, I don't understand.
I live in the US and was born in the US, but what does that have to do with anything?

Well, I can't think of a person of any other nationality who would say "I love weapons"....I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Well, you'd have to make sure that your swords are intended for actual combat use (most are flimsy display pieces). Real swords cost a lot. A $60 katana is assuredly not for combat use. My real one cost around $300, and it's not even one of those high-end ones. I've seen them go to $2000. Machetes might be more cost efficient and durable (katanas require a lot of care and maintenence). Axes and bats might be good as well.
And yes, katanas can be decapitation tools, but for executions, the victim are often slashed through the body, from the side of the neck downward diagonally. Wakizashi are very nice weapons as well, though you probably want a bit more range against infectious zombies so you don't risk getting bitten.

It pretty much cuts through a Bamboo mat, which has around the same density as human bone.
Of course you can go with the good machete.

Just throw medicine at them
If they're like FF zombie, it'll kill them instantly.

I say, bring two (or more) handguns powerful enough to headshot even by some distance, and a lot of ammo, with a sword or bat as back up.

Go north so the cold kills them?

None of them would work very well.
For one, zombies are indifferent to pain, so unless their whole body freezes, cold won't stop it. Once it thaws out, the zombie will continue moving.
Fire is slightly more effective, since fire eats at the zombie's body, but it has to consume it completely to kill it.
A headshot is the most effective way to kill a zombie. You need to kill the brain.

Freezing the head completely CAN kill them because the liquid in the brain will expand and crystallize, causing severe damage to it when frozen. I guess freezing them takes too long though.
Nope. Read World War Z. Freezing doesn't do anything to them.
Eh, if they were "real" zombies (ie, affected humans without regard for pain and slightly higher than average strength and increased aggression) then cold temperatures would kill them just as they'd eventually kill a normal person. Just because it can't feel cold, doesn't mean its cells and organs and body would be unaffected by it.
So yeah, I'd definitely try and head north for the long haul. Humans don't have the insulation to survive there without artificial means, which means zombies are out of luck.

True, but thats the issue, we don't have a true definition of a "zombie". There are so many interpretations of zombies that its hard to tell what would affect it in which way. If you're talking about like "non-supernatural" zombies (lol, if that makes sense), then yes, cold weather would kill them. For example, in 28 days later, with the people being infected by a rage virus and not actually dying before turning into a "zombie", it would be more realistic to see those types of zombies if an outbreak were to occur than the kinds that re-animate.

so about the cold... the whole expanding liquid as it freezes in the brain does actually make some sense. but i don't think it will effect the muscular tissue very much. it will freeze solid. and over a period of time, it will probably take effect as their body deteriorates. who knows what ever happens within zombie blood, it could act as a strange antifreeze. if we are going by WWZ definitions here, then their blood is a thik oozy mass. it might take longer for them to freeze and the freeze wont be as deep.

It's too bad no one's posted anything related to Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. Heh.

The cold is like heat. Take it to enough of an extreme and it will kill things.
If a human brain cannot survive being frozen, then the zombie's brain will not survive being frozen, provided that the zombie is one of those "virus-created" ones, not the supernatural undead ones.

I was thinking rage infected virus zombies like 28 days later.
supernatural undead is just stupid. Play the Sun Song, GG.

You gotta remember that those "reanimated" corpse in Romeros's zombies are also caused by a virus as well.
The 28 Series infect try to kill and not do any thing else hence the "RAGE" virus.
Oh well best weapon is a Telsa cannon? Electrocution causes fried flesh.

Electricity will work, I suppose, but then again there was that man who survived getting hit by lightning 7 times.

Smash Lord
yeah electricity would need to start at the brain to kill them
Any sustained high voltage current should do the trick. If they're like people, it wouldn't really matter whether it was applied to the brain or somewhere else.

make them drink alot of liquid and force them to pee on a electric fence
or is that to round-about?

Quick some one tell NATO or the U.N to create shock weapons.
Or better alternative. Piloted robots armed with 7.62mm and 50 cals. Maybe with electric and laser technology. 5 Meter tall mechs and not the 17.5 meter behemoths seen in Anime.
wishful thinking.

electricity follows a path. which ever one leads to the ground the quickest. the brain might get a sizzle, but most of the electricity will go through the arms and legs and into the ground. and if the electricity only fries the internal organs or arms its not going to stop them

I stake out at my school. Tons of food (Assuming they got a recent load), I could use the sports equipment for weapons (Field hockey/Aluminum bats would work nicely). The school has thick walls made of brick, and the Zombies could not break through that. If I had a means of escaping north, I would probably take that. Preferably by air.

I'd do nothing. I've always know that in the case of a zombie attack, I'd probably be the last person left. I have nothing to back that claim up.

O...M...G! Because of those fans, people will probably see it as a joke when a real zombie outbreak is about to happen. Zombies will then overtake the cities and countries as they bite other people and soon, only a handful of survivors will live in fear.
(although I won't be one of the few since I'll kill myself if that ever happens)
In other words: THANKS RESIDENT EVIL 5!!!

Well, at least it's isolated, and on the other side of the world from me...
...I'll miss them Platypusses and Echidna's though...

I'm glad I already have a nice stockpile of durable weapons (mostly camping gear like machetes and hatchets, and some martial arts weapons and swords). You never know XD

Freak out and die...
Somehow. Don't know whether I'd die by my hands or...some other way. Either way I'm freaked out my zombies and stuff like that and always have been... If they became a reality it'd be the end of me, that's one thing for sure.
