I have been shooting once and I hit my target out of luck. All the other times...heck I don't even know were the bullets went. Not sure what kind of guns there were, i think it was a riffle...and older one though. Like I said I don't have much gun knowledge. Haha, I like to grow mine out long. They usually have to break before I cut them. But I don't know if they get as long as yours. It does take practice to get good. And amazingly it is rather fun. I actually miss shooting... But I only did it with my dad, and since he passed away 10 years ago I can't bring myself to pick it back up.... I usually cut my nails when I start getting tons of typos... then only 'cause it ticks me, off not because I want to...

Starting with a small caliber gun would most likely be the best bet, at least until you learned a bit more. The larger caliber guns can have quite a kick to them and unless you have good aim you would tend to miss. I know it took me some time to get used to the kick of a shotgun, and the mountain took many hits before the target did... As of yesterday they are much shorter! But they were close to an inch to an inch and a half long... Just like with my hair, my nails seem to grow at an astonishing rate, and I have always been very prickly about them. I have all kinds of nail care products, and every single color of nail polish one could possibly want. You could say I'm obsessive compulsive about it.

Not quite. If a person isn't adept at using a firearm in single-shot form, he/she would risk harming themself or or others with a selective-fire firearm. It takes considerable skill to efficiently employ a fully-automatic weapon. You have to learn to counteract recoil and muzzle rise, for one thing. And not to mention our immediate human instinct to drop anything that jumps I was clearly making a joke, of course it takes some skill to fire a weapon like that, as it does for any firearm for that matter. That is if you wish to hit what you are aiming at.... But still, if you were alone and had to choose between a single shot weapon or one that could fire many bullets, I'd say your chances are better with the machine gun... You also spelled zombified wrong. Yes I did, my long nails strike again...

That's true. In reality though I think I'd have to go with the military. Unless I find a good organized group. I have no upper body strength and have poor gun knowledge...though If I go with a military group that large they probably wont teach me how to use a gun, were as if I go to a small group I would. That is why you get something that shoots many, many bullets very quickly... You don't need much knowledge to pull a trigger, and with those types of weapons you are bound to hit something... :lol: Hopefully not anyone that isn't zombified... The only thing that really concerns me about going with a larger group would be as I stated earlier, that it might draw the zombies to you....

Now poses the question if you'd be safer with the military or on you own. Just trying to keep things goin I guess. There is indeed safety in numbers most times, but this is one time that I wonder if it wouldn't be safer on your own or with a small group. I would think a large group of people would have a higher likelihood of attracting the zombies, being we are basically their whole diet.

I've never had a problem with it. I find it a really good program for when you have ideas but they aren't exactly coming together in a logical progression, but jump around. Ywriter allows you to do separate scenes, chapters, etc and then compile them together easily.

I had added it, when it was first posted... I'll add it again. Either it glitched or you know who has struck again...

Yea it most likely would be, unless they are controlled by an entity like Umbrella.... Then it might not be so healthy to do so... Well, in the above case, it's the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team, so I think we'd all be just fine with them. But, of course, that also flashes me back to an episode of Jericho I watched yesterday where, after weeks of isolation following the bombs, the "US Marines" (complete with a tank) suddenly arrive in town and it's revealed later in the episode that they're being less than truthful... Well when it comes to our military and government, I think it would be best not to be too trusting. They don't exactly have a reputation for being truthful and honest...

Safest would probably be following these guys around. Yea it most likely would be, unless they are controlled by an entity like Umbrella.... Then it might not be so healthy to do so... Yeah it probably would be. And sorry...I meant uninhabited...But do you think it'd be better to stay in one area like the uninhabited cave? Or stay in one place for a little bit then keep moving. I think at the beginning it would be a wise move to keep moving. Then once they start dieing off or are killed off you would be able to stay put for longer periods. But until most are gone a nomadic life would most likely be the best bet.

And yes despite it being way to hot in the sun hours and being way to cold in the night hours the desert does seem like a fairly safe place from zombies. Guess we'll just have to find ourselves a nice inhabited little cave then huh? But then again it would seem like a good idea to not stay in one place for long... Yes I think it would be pretty safe. Zombies would naturally be drawn to more populated areas just for the fact that their favorite food is "Long Pork" (Slang term for humans that are eaten by cannibals because cannibals say that humans taste like pork... ) and there aren't many humans in the desert... However, I think I'd take an uninhabited cave to live in, I don't want to share my living space with a zombie bear...

The desert would be a pretty good pick I would think. While there are animals and assorted critters there, the infection wouldn't spread as quickly I don't think. By the time an outbreak got that far it would be in the direct contact with an infected thing so it would mostly be spread there mostly by animals. So as long as you were careful, I think it'd be pretty safe... But like you I do not like the heat, so it's not so good a place. As for seagulls, yes they can be a pain, but where I live it's the geese. Because of the lake we have a ton of them, and if you walk the paths around the lake you must watch your step or you may step into something you'd rather not.

There would be pockets of scattered resistance. The will to survive should never be underestimated. I never said there wouldn't be. I know that there would be small pockets of people to survive. Especially those that live in far out of the way places with very few humans around. There would also be those who would have a natural immunity to it, at least that is how things normally work, but it is hard to say, especially when you are talking about something that humans created, and not God. God gave us a fighting chance by not allowing things to cross over every single genetic boundary there is. Humans on the other hand can be ever so much crueler. I never said there wouldn't be. I take it you'd be in one of these? I was just talking about how bad the panic an fear would be...I know I'd be scared out of my mind. And I hope it doesn't happen either. I wouldn't be to surprised if they did try and make something like it. Some people do things just because they can...if they did there probably would be an outbreak to... The panic would be astonishing. Just imagine you are walking in the park and suddenly you are attacked by a human, a dog, a bird and a pricker bush... No place would be safe, except for in places like maybe Alaska where there are vast areas that are uninhabited.

Yes it would be horrible. And I just hope nothing like that ever happens. I would hope that there aren't actually scientists out there who would actually try to make a virus that could infect every living thing on the planet. If they did, lord help us because I fear there would be some type of outbreak. Someone would try to steal it just like Ada or Wesker did, and then it would be time to bend over and kiss your rear end good bye....

Yeah that makes sense, and I agree with the airborn and evaporating vapors. If it was like the flu(airborn wise) just about no life would have been left. Or at least I don't think so... This is most likely true. The only thing that would have slowed it any if that were the case is if the virus couldn't survive out of the body for long, but that clearly isn't the case with the Tvirus. Also if airborne it would have spread even quicker than it did because every breath anything infected breathed would have been spreading the virus. What makes a virus like the Tvirus so dangerous is its ability to infect across all species.
