It’s 1978, the zombie epidemic has hit your state. You need to make your way to safety, along the way you will encounter biker gangs, angry rednecks, street gangs all looking to terrorize, rob and possibly rape you. This is on top of the hordes of marching dead.
If anyone in your group dies they turn.
You get one initial vehicle to have.
You get one long gun, a full size handgun and a compact handgun. You start with 50 rounds for each gun and you have to scrounge for more ammo.
Only rules, guns must have been accessible with some ease in your country.

Me? I will kill myself right away.
Hmm, I wonder if their is a measurable constant in society of people who would commit suicide if the conveniences and comforts where ripped away from them.
I’m willing to bet it’s much higher now than in the previous 100 years with how many people live in a bubble of technology today.
I grew up with a meth dad, we lived in barns, trucks, camp sites and hunted and fished for our food. I didn’t taste beef until the courts ordered partial custody when I was 6.
It's not about the lack of conveniences and comforts. I live a modest simple life, my extended family is rather poor, and I lived with them out on the farm from time to time.
But I am also an existential nihilist. There's just nothing there for me. Zombie apocalypse wouldn't be like in your video games, or even movies. It would be a constant state of dread, fight for survival from day to day. I just don't care for it.
homie, “constant state of dread and a fight for survival day to day.”
That is nature, that is life at its most basic form. The human mind exist on sliding scale, it will find joy and happiness in even the worse conditions and always has. Even in the darkest days of humanity.
Life is always worth living.
If you lived remote enough, and lived off the land like a pioneer. There wouldn’t be much difference from 1820 to today in a zombie apocalypse

Why didn't they gather all of the guns and ammo to the hideout and stay there with food, until those bikers lost intrest for the place and left or were eaten? There was so much guns and ammo there left behind.
So, a common theme in romeros films is the hubris and pride of men getting them killed. So the honest answer is main character syndrome.
I think it’s worth noting how they stop using their m16s, I think the reason for this is due .223 and .556 not be as common as other rounds and it was available in any real quantity at the malls gun store.
There are some other plot holes too, like they board up the entrance to upstairs but they leave the doors open rather than locking them. Moral of the story, you are never the main character.
Still one of my favorite films
Yes, it's a great film. And it has interesting gas masks.
Yeah, I eventually want to do a full cosplay kit build.
Chevy Suburban
Winchester 1892 in .357 magnum with a tang sight
6” Smith & Wesson Model 27 or 28 in .357 Magnum
4” Smith & Wesson Model 18 in .22lr
This gives me access to five commonly available calibers in the time period and the ability to shoot out to around 100-125 yards which is more than plenty for the scenario. All three guns are bombproof and will run thousands of rounds with very minor upkeep.
Part of me wants to choose an SP1 Carbine as the rifle but it’s 1978 and .223 is nowhere near as prevalent as .357 or .38 Special so an 1892 will be it.
Where are you counting 5 rounds.
All I see there is
>38
>357
>22lr
Unless your counting
.38 smith and Wesson
.38 super
.38 colt
.22 short
There are actually quite a variety of ammo a .357 magnum will spit out.
.357 and .38 Special are commonly available, not counting old obsolete calibers even for the time like .38 Long Colt but they’re out there and I come across it it can be used. .22lr, .22 Long, and .22 Short are all commonly available in 1978.
>Percheron mare
>Remington Model 81 in .35 Remington

Only one there you are likely to find easily restockable ammo is .32

>in my state
I assure you that .35 was all over the place here back then. All the old timers loved it and still do. .38 Super would be a little rarer, but no more than something like 10mm is today.
10mm is super common, I kind find that shit in every store.

I'm street smart so I ride the wave early. Didn't even know that things were going down when I put one in Camel Johnson's ear and bundled him into the trunk of his caddy. But things were starting to get weird, you dig? The junkies had all disappeared and the street trade had dried up. People were staying in, laid up but not laid back, if you can picture it in Technicolor. So I knock over a couple other places I know on the Deuce, a liquor store, a peep show for some cash, a small time hustler for some reds and coke, and some blues for the comedown. By midnight I'm leaving my way through the Holland Tunnel and I figured out where all the junkies and prostitutes went, all bloody red and fish belly white in the El Dorado's headlights. By dawn I'm halfway to nowhere, you know what I'm sayin'? I made it through Nam, I'm making it out of this. I'm making it out of this...
I dig, but the boroughs wouldn’t last for long. You think the tunnel would be drivable?
That's where being ahead of the curve comes in. Get out while the gettin's good. But you're right, if the tunnel gets dicey I'll have to leave the car, walk out, real quiet like we used to do it in the jungle. It's got that raised walkway with a railing, and those things that used to be people don't seem very good at climbing. I can find another car on the other side.
>You get one initial vehicle to have.
Helicopter, nondescript make and model. I bounce around small, private airfields mooching gas until I make it to the coast, wherein I grab a boat and head for a low-population island near enough to make coastal raids feasible but far enough out and in deep enough water to make seafloor walkers incapable of ending up on my shores. Alternative plan is to fly deep into the holler and rely on concealment of the mountains, forests and hills.

I'm in the Appalachian foothills so sparsely populated isn't a problem and terrain is less passable for shamblers. Country folks may be wary of newcomers, but they won't put up with shenanigans and will stick together against the threat. I will say the correct things such as blaming liberals for the undead and earn their trust. In 50 years time the Independent Confederacy of Appalachistan will rise to restore order and traditional values to the land. Tales are passed down through mountain songs warning of the dangers of high-density urban population centers and societal degradation. Moonshinin' and cousin-lovin' are at all time highs.
homie, it’s 1978
Okay fine, AR15, Browning Hi-Power, and whatever small .22 pistol they were making back then. I just want lightweight, readily available ammo of 3 different calibers. 223/556 should be available, as well as 9 milly, and 22 is older than mammoth shit.
9mm didn’t pick up in popularity in American until the late 1980s. In the 70s good ammo would have been hard to find and power level as well as bullet shape and some dimensional issues.
We live an era where good ammo is rather abundant, back then a lot of ammo was shit.
I guess a .38 wheel gun is the most logical choice for the time, but it feels so generic, and I'd like an automatic. Maybe a 1911 would be a better option as I'm sure .45AARP would have been around in abundance.
Or, OR, I go full wildcat and take a Dardick. I use my trounds sparingly, and hunt for them like treasure.
I do believe 45 and 357 handguns would be the most applicable. Considering almost everyone used them, from police to the military as well as everyone and their momma.
I have my uncles model 19 that he bought in the early 80s. I love it
I stay where I am
anyone who tries to approach my house gets shot unless they're cute
No m1 carbines? Carbine is goat for zombies
I strongly considered an m1 carbine but by the late 70s they were falling out of fashion for the police. So they were less common as was their ammo. Not to say their ammo wasn’t available in abundance I just don’t think you were picking it off the street like you might could .357/.38 or 30-06.
Now of course if you had one and a thousand rounds, it would be perfect.
But that’s the same reason I didn’t go with an sp1. 5.56 was out there in abundance but not as much on the street level.
I'm banking on looting military bases, outposts and checkpoints for my 5.56 supply. It may not be so common for civilian use, but the military will be out in force, and their abandoned stocks are bigger. I say it's a good choice.
All those places you are referring to would be crawling with the dead or would be heavily guarded.
Place where human gather in emergencies are the worst places to target, hospitals, military bases, outpost, police headquarters, schools, fema stations, and etc. etc.
Solvable problems. The dead are easily distracted, and the Green Meanies all jumped ship when orders stopped coming from On-High and they started thinking about their own families. I'm confident there will be enough abandoned and overrun positions scattered around to maintain supply, or maybe I'll just offer a few shaky grunts a helicopter ride out of the hot zone for a couple cans of ammo.
.30 cabine may have been more available back then than now, but it's still going to be an oddball cartridge that you'll be digging for rather than all the .38s and 12 gayges that cops and hunters use, or 7.62 NAFO and 5.56 military uses. It's not a bad choice, but not the best choice for long-term survival.

My only beef with Romero is how he makes people lose their shit.
Based Black personman never lost his shit, managed to do the heroics and still make it out alive. I was stoked when he made it up the ladder.
Same, dude kicked ass.
The death of Roger always sucks to watch, they were such an iconic dynamic duo. he was the most proactive and productive member of the gang. Fricking flyboy should have died instead of him.
Flyboy did die, and in a worse way than Roger. He was eaten alive alone in an elevator while Roger was bit when trying to get into Peter's truck.
I know but flyboy died at his own hands for being a fricking moron.
My boy Roger would have made it out the whole thing had he not been bitten. Dude was just to good to live.
Roger died because he got wienery. Though I agree with you, him and Peter made for a fun duo. The pair of them working together when they first start clearing the mall is great to watch. Wish Roger had survived till the end and made the biker raid more interesting.
Roger died because flyboy dropped the ball on overwatch, didn't think to bring a radio to communicate with the ground team, and was too incompetent with a heater to be trusted to Kiowa-pilot zombois from the air. In fact, if he wasn't so useless he could have been on the ground watching Roger's back.
I blame flyboy for everything, and I'm glad Pete got to tap his girl on an island somewhere. She deserves a real man.
We saw how much the coof made people crazy. Imagine what a zombie pandemic would do to people who don't have their shit wired tight.
I suppose that’s a good point, I didn’t personally see much of that reaction but my sister in law who is a bit manic on a daily level had some strong negative reactions to it.
Tbh, covid was a pretty casual time for me. I was layed off so I was on unemployment. So I just went fishing and hunting for most of it: went into a few bars to pussy a couple times a month. Traveled up and down the coast as well for fun. Got a job better paying job during the second year of it and just kinda kept coasting.
I didn’t get covid until the start of year three.
It was the other way around for me. I was an essential worker, got sick in like the 1st month before they allowed us to call off work and lost my promotion and bonus due to that. Frick that office Black person, i walked out and got a job as a project manager playing morrowind all day at work
NTA, but he has a point. Zombies are literal voodoo and Romero repurposed them into an allegory for mass mobilisation
Yes, your response sure is
His point is to refuse to have fun and shit up threads. It's reddit behavior and should be bannable.
>have fun
Zombies were never meant to be fun, afraid
>Romero doesn’t call his living dead zombie, he calls them ghouls
Well, yeah, he needed something legally distinguishable from I Am Legend (or its film adaptations). NotLD was about counterculture, DotD satirised consumerism and DotD is a parable about destruction wrought by man's ambition
>calling it I am legend rather than omega man.
>”needed something other than zombie to become legally distinguishable”
Bro, did you shit yourself forming this concept because I’m assuming your too moronic to know when to go to the bathroom. He could have called it zombies or fricking vampires if he liked. No one has any legal claim to either of the concepts.
Omega was at best had a small take on race and identity. Which is honestly mute imo because if you put anyone woman and any man together in the apocalypse they are going to frick. It’s taking on nothing. Sure it inspired Romero but to simply state Romero bit off of it is moronic. NOTLD is not about counter culture it is counter culture. Its about the dead return life and attacking the living while taking on the topics of race and gender roles in society.
>NOTLD
>is counter culture
>the genderly and racially equitable group dies
>the band of white men survives
Wew
Well, yeah the black dude dies. Heroes and cowards always die in romeros movies. The women get by and the men who brave but don’t put themselves out there often live. It’s also worth noting the arrogant white guy and his wife die in the NOTLD.
The band of white men living is about injustice in society.
>white guy and his wife die
They were childless (DINK's)
>white men living is about injustice in society
So this is another Starship Troopers situation where it gets endorsed unironically
What are you talking about?
A big plot point was their kid dying
Frick, I'm gonna have to rewatch it
>calling it I am legend rather than omega man.
You're moronic. The original book is called I am Legend and the title is tightly tied to the book's ending, the fact that films keep renaming it is evidence for how few of them understand that.
Zombies are literal voodoo. That’s an African word for that the voodoo initiated hypnosis. Those people aren’t dead.
Romero doesn’t call his living dead zombie, he calls them ghouls or just that zombies. The concept of the dead coming back to life to terrorize the dead is very common almost universally across the globe.
Zombie is just a buzzword slapped onto “the dead returning to life” because it was exotic and buzzy.
Zombies may be fantasy, but your autism is all too real.
Thats is a kissless touchless response
left 4 dead zombies are actually possible
>zombies are created by an airborne infection
>they are not actually dead, they are alive breathe and can feed on rotten food and animal corpse or even themselves
>in game you can also see that they experience pain and discomfort from their torn limbs and an assault rifle can quickly dispatch of them
>also some of their human mind still is active, you can see that in the L4D menu screen some zombies act like they have regrets, like crying or banging walls with their fist and even put their hands on their face like someone who have seen enough
the only weird case are the special infected, those are hardly explainable but the basic zombies are 100% fine.
Left 4 dead without the special infected is just 28 days later in America.
Though I must admit, the fact world building in left 4 dead is really good and better than many movies. You can piece the general events leading up story based on wall art and shit the characters say.
Top tier game, if they made a new one I honestly might buy a system just for it.
never seen that movie so i couldn't tell, but i guess i'll try to watch it now
Oh for sure a solid watch.
>the wall where someone scrawled "we're the real monsters" and all the other graffiti is just calling them a moron
>Though I must admit, the fact world building in left 4 dead is really good and better than many movies. You can piece the general events leading up story based on wall art and shit the characters say.
Much better in the first game because it's show over tell like this. 2 kind of does the same thing but way more blatantly and has the characters call it out in case you missed it.
They nailed making memorable and interesting characters, back in 2009, better than any AAA game since.
Pair that with the amazing gameplay loop and YUGE workshop, you get an unparalleled zombie co-op shooter
>muh virus zombies
Gay as frick. You have to waste too much time explaining the virus and how it works because homosexuals always want to play rules lawyer.
Supernatural zombies are better. They just exist and I ain't gotta explain shit. Undead Nightmare did zombies the best.
You don’t have explain the zombies. If I recall their explanation for the living dead trilogy is space magic from the military blowing up a radioactive asteroid in the earths atmosphere.
Who cares why the zombies exist.

Yup, same with dogma. You should be able to watch some version of it on YouTube and of course you can always buy a physical copy.

Yeahhh, I recently changed bedrooms and moved my collection. Honestly I haphazardly threw them up based on a senseless notion to be honest.
No sawed off?

Dennis hopper mood
How common was .308 in 1978? I feel like .30-06 would be way easier to find.
.308 was common but 30-06 was way more common. Also 30-06 could be found in bulk due to lots of surplus and many countries were offloading their old stock due to the switch to nato rounds.
M1 Carbine
1911
Snub .38
How has no one else gone for an M1 Carbine? These things were the AR15 of post WW2 America. Plentiful ammo, easy shooting, light. No need for a full power rifle to dome deadites.
There are some pitfalls to m1 carbines, by the late 70s they were drying up as well as their ammo. Also finding good mags for them was difficult.
Not saying they aren’t great but in 1978 I’m not sure if that’s what I want. It really tempting.
I say all this and I actually bought 1300 rounds of m1 carbine back in October.
I strongly considered it, but as others have said they were drying up by the late '70s, and I was also concerned about the lack of range for fighting other survivors.
I was tempted to go Garand but the reliance on clips and the issues with high pressure ammo turned me off, so I decided on an M1A instead, thinking it's got the best combo of ammo availability, long-range performance (especially because it's one of the only period semis with a decent scope mount), and close/midrange firepower available at the time.
I also get the impression that most gun shops/sporting good stores didn't stock much in the way of military surplus rifles/ammo. That sounded like more of a mail order thing or would be in military stocks. Which others have pointed out are likely to be guarded.
I've heard stories about surplus and hardware stores having barrels full of Garands and Carbines and pallets of ammo but yeah, I think that was more of a '50s and '60s thing and had disappeared by the late '70s. I think .308 was popular enough as a hunting and sporting cartridge by that point to be as available as anything other than maybe .30-06 though.
1978:
2 1/2 ton truck
Bog standard M16A1
1911
Hammerless 5 shot revolver
2004 (bonus question):
2 1/2 ton truck
Bog standard M4
M9
Hammerless 5 shot revolver
>Bog standard M16A1
Probably a bad choice.
Not if you're drinking beer with the national guard like the rednecks
It's a good rifle anon. Certainly the best you could get in the 70s imo
The rifle is fine. The problem is finding ammunition for it in post-apocalyptic 1978. .223 was not so common then.
It was common enough. People shot groundhogs and coyotes with it, but largely out of boltguns instead of semi autos. Remember that the Mini 14 came out in the 70s. If .223 wasn't popular then it wouldn't have survived.
BTW, what is with all you gays in this thread thinking that 1978 was like the 50s?
>BTW, what is with all you gays in this thread thinking that 1978 was like the 50s?
I don't but it also wasn't like it is now, even into the '90s I remember going to gun stores with my dad and they were mostly tiny hole in the wall places mostly filled with hunting rifles and dusty milsurp, very few modern semiauto rifles and not a ton of ammo in stock for them either. Obviously the guns and ammo were out there but you didn't see them much in a typical neighborhood LGS, not like now where "military-style" firearms are 90% of the average store.
The OP stipulated that you get 50 rounds.
Regardless, there'd be plenty of ammunition for the US service rifle. Think about it, even in a country where gun ownership was uncommon, you'd still probably be best off with the standard service rifle.
Yeah, the first act carries the film. It's too bad that the characters start acting stupid part way in. I saw the 2004 remake in theaters and the beginning definitely hooked the audience. Shit was intense.
The argument still goes back to the ammo is technically common in the sense of a lot being present. That place happens to be military armories that are heavily guarded. 30-30, 3006, and other durr cartridges are what would be easy to find in any sporting goods store. Even handguns weren't as popular as they are now. Nixon actually wanted a complete ban on handguns when he was in office and several cities had blanket handgun bans at the time.
Yeah the handguns things is true, my preference for .357 magnum is because I know .357/38 was the most common police side arm round.
That may be, but I kinda figured that Fallout style scavenging would be a bad idea.
The opening sequences of the 2004 movie is the only redeemable part of the film.
Similar to another poster, a Winchester 1895 in 30-06. 30-06 was super common. The winchester I picked over the Garand due to the Garand not being safe to shoot with a lot of the higher pressure hunting loads common at the time. PPK in 32 ACP since that was a common autoloading cartridge, and the Python gives me the use of 38 and 357. Grew up in Northern VA outside of DC which is pretty much analogues to suburban philly. Bug out plan would be to get a boat on the Potomac and make my way out to an island in the Chesapeake like Tangier or Smith Island (both only have a couple hundred people). Tangier maybe being a better bet since it has an airstrip. If the weather is too bad to make it out on the water I'd go for West Virginia.
I considered the bronco but I know the dodge vans were offered with an optional 33 gallon tank which extends it range quite a bit.
Thinking about vehicles of the time and gasoline. You'd probably be better off with a deisel vehicle of some kind. If you're able to get your hands on some fuel stabilizer you could have fuel that will last you about a year. You'd have to rely on what you could stow though. Vehicles of that time though have really bad fuel economy compared to today and you'd maybe get 200 miles max on a tank of gas.
Well it’s 1978, gasoline is leaded and can last 3-4 years
What causes fuel nowadays to shit itself in a month or two, the ethanol?
Basically the ethanol, ethanol free last longer and additives will make it last even longer. Import part is adding fuel stabilizers to get it to last longer. Higher quality stuff last longer too of course.

I like the colt monitor but that’s a holy grail gun in any decade. Hard to come by.

My second choice, I'd go 1911 Series 70 but other than that I like your choices.
>not joining the rednecks
Those guys seem to be having a blast and suffering zero casualties a week or more into the widespread apocalypse. I'd have to take something Bubba and his buddies wouldn't bully me for, so probably a Ruger Mini-14, S&W 66 and a Colt DS. The car is the hard part. I'd need something reliable that can tear into wet fields and navigate some light woods, with storage space for my gear, all the beer and bbq, and a mattress in case I can bag a redneck gal on the grand zombie lynching roadtrip. Ultimately, it'll come down to the Chevy Blazer. Sure, I'll catch some shit for it, but at the end of the day I want to be able to crawl from the back to the cab if the undead are hammering on the windows while I'm sleeping.
“Night of the living dead”
They were really only a day or so into it.
I might be misremembering, but I recall some cut footage from later instalments refencing the redneck lynchers still going well into the apocalypse.
I don’t recall that.
The original and the remake take place in a night.
Dawn of the dead takes place over a couple of months and the rednecks aren’t mentioned but the biker gang is doing okay until they reach the mall.
Day of the dead is a few years after and there is no sign of any significant groups other than the one that is subject in the film.
Redneck hunting parties are in Dawn of the Dead or at lest the version I've got downloaded. Seen as they're flying over towards the mall.
Also Romero zombies learn, and will use tool to break open your windows.
It’s 1978
romero actually predates the use of the word zombie to mean the walking corpses who eat flesh
at the time he made NotLD, zombie referred to magically reanimated undead servants, usually by voodoo means
while romero was more inspired by ghouls, who were more like demons or other supernatural entities who are human flesh, and vampire thralls from i am legend
in addition to the aformentioned ability to learn and use simple tools
>can be trained with the use of human flesh as a reward to follow commands (at that point strongly resembling the original voodoo zombie)
>retain memories of their past lives, which is why they congregate around malls
>are never called zombies, due to the above mentioned predating of the term

Going loud attracts attention. If there's a mob of zombies you can dispatch them in volume quickly and quietly. Decline firefights. IF you are cornered and they're dumb enough to roll the dice on CQB it's a coin flip regardless of what you're carrying.
The outbreak begins in New Orleans during the middle of Mardi Gras celebrations, and we have to make it across town to the Pontchartrain bridge before the army blows it to stop the undead hordes.

Perfect choices. Identical to my own sans the IH Scout, but I'd probably take one of those now that you've mentioned it.
1978?

Not wrong but you start for 50 rounds of each caliber or for each gun. Basically your suppose to be an ordinary guy not a /k/ tard who buy shit in bulk.
hmm then I'll go with a surplus m1 garand or a chopped down A5.
we party like it's 1899
Jersey Pine Barrens near the shore
Drive car straight to the gun shop for ammo if theres any left
Winchester 1897 or any combat pump
two 9 millimeters
find a 2 story house on the barrier island with one staircase and knock it out replace with ladder
of course I need to risk it for food so I can hunker down for a month
would get telescope and climb the water tower with spray paint in order to instruct survivors that I have food to trade for women with good pussies
