geebsSo what else have I watched since coming in at 7? Well after the three mentioned in my last post, As Good As it Gets, Alex and Emma, Problem Child 2, and Dawn of the Dead. How fortunate that these survivors always manage to find abandoned police cruisers, or are near a gun shop or Wal-mart so they can get their hands on a couple of shotguns or handguns. And those are good choices, but they shouldn't over look the semi-automatic rifle. I mean, its moderately powerful, and with a minimal amount of training one can prolly lay down effective and accurate fire at a much longer range. And it'll be good for hunting when you start needing to hunt for food.
And if these peeps used better sense and tactics, they prolly would have a higher chance of surviving. One, dress up in protective gear! I mean, you don't need to be armored up like a riot cop, because in a crowd, all that armor will bog you down anyways and you'll get overwhelmed. Mobility is prolly more important. But grabbing some arm and leg protection would be real smart. After all, you're sticking your extremities in harms way to kick or push the zombies back, and when they lunge at you, your reaction is most likely to put your arms up. So wrap them up, so you don't get accidentally bitten!! Also, when retreating, don't just start firing haphazardly! Alternate your fire, that way, you always have a shield of lead protecting you. How many times do you see these peeps getting overwhelmed because they were stuck reloading. And if you have to reload, make sure there's someone shooting in front of you instead of standing there vulnerable! Have the tail guys fire, and as soon as they're out, the guys behind them fire and cover them while they get behind them, reloading as they do. Then when those guys are up, the next set guys of fire and cover the tail, and so forth!
