It's past my bedtime, but this topic jumped into my head all of a sudden... who prepairs for post apocalyptic survival? hostile parties like neo-fashists and other lunatics... im doubtful that they'd see need to share weapons and supplies with us, as i am doubtful a few rifles rival smg's and assault rifles in urban warfare. you'd stand a chance but a small one. those ppl practice like guerillas. so i propose we add methods of conquering hostile resistance from these ppl
if youre skeptical, remember: 12 000 ppl die a year in the states from crime, and i'd wager a good deal of the criminals will be fair equipped to survive zday. they may not have compasses and solar panels, but they got weapons and experience. so lets have some ideas...
one: high power lamps. same idea as the watchtowers in jails, blind while you (or an ally) shoot. i saw a 10 000 000 candella rechargeabe searchlight, and best of all its handheld. shine it at their eyes and pop em while they scramble. also, high wattage lamps may be placed in the lobby of a building, in front of an ambush
*side note, night vision and infrared headgear is a plus against both raiders and the undead
two:heavy stopping power weapons. this again is obious but i feel it must be mentioned for the obious reason of: its ok, waste some big bullets, you get to take their guns after all... examples can include FMJ HEAT and HE rounds to work anti-armor, anything .50 cal is a joke... out of the homemade, a propane tank or a pipebomb with ball bearings is a welcome surprise. my crossbow-grenade launcher works well too
three:poisons... this may seem a little evil for us, but... :evil: (i dont know houw about you but im not cooperating with some sort of... neo-nazi guerillas. even if they seem neutral. i dont trust those ppl) or even if these people take over your stronghold (pointing back to the oilrig idea, pirates). how do you do them away with ease?
-methanol, 30ml will kill anyone. tastes identical to alc. mix with beer or wiskey and BAM 5 hrs later you go blind. and then you die.
-deathhead (spelling?) mushroom. little, brown, 10-15 cm grows in semi-groups. the unique aspect that tells it apart from the edible ones is the ring of skin-like at the stem, or the same film covering the spores, in immature species. has a VERY good taste, and one very powerful neurotoxin. kills in around 12 hrs, has antidotes but theyre hard to reach
-botulism bacilli... if you got a can of rotten coserved meat, put spices on it and feed it to your foes. kills in 3/4 a day, has a cure but by the time you realise its not stomach flu, youre fucked
-fugu. jsut butcher a pufferfish, it has the world's strongest neurotoxin, 1800x as effective as cyanide. its in the liver, intestines and skin. kills in (a day?). even 2 spoonfulls may be lethal if prepaired wrong
-drug overdose... got LSD stickers? drop 20 into a drink, the person will flip. same for sleeping pills, opioids and similar prescribtion medication. most are undetectable in alcoholic beverages (hence the term spike the drink and how common it is. pills dont bubble in glasses) and plz dont use tylenol, thats embarassing, thats for suicidal teenagers not killing hardened criminals sleeping on your couch
four: gases. an open propane tank is a nice surprise, if youre on the second or third floor and they enter ground level. jsut drop a match... another option is carbon monoxide. convince people that you are leaving a gas grill for heat indoors and close down all gaps. monoxide will fill up overnight to a lethal dose. candles work too...
ok were ready for opinions now...
remember, i dont promote killing off other survivors, im just reminding you that a fair deal of survivors may exibit their worst qualities in a position of power ...cheerio and goodnight
