Maybe you only need to make short runs. Maybe you don’t know how to drive a real car. Maybe you’re the type of person who wants to shave a few strokes off of your handicap, Zombies or no Zombies. Whatever the reason, it’s hard to fault you for wanting the ATAC Armored Golf Cart in your garage when the Zs come calling. Designed for close quarters anti-terrorism use, this thing is perfect for short jaunts to and even into the grocery store to pick up supplies. The designers claim that it can withstand close range gun fire, and even grenade blasts, so I’m pretty sure the biting and scratching from some Zedheads wont have any real effect. It’s still in conceptual phase, and chances are you won’t be able to get one, but you could always build your own. Just remember to carry a shotgun next to the Putter in your bag, who knows what the terrain will be like.

No guts no glory? Problem is, zombie guts equal bad news, so no glory is the best way to survive, if you don’t want to get taken out by some random infection from a cut or scrape after clearing a mob of shamblers. Jack Black Mr. Fixit Anti-Microbial Wound Rescue utilizes the benefits of silver to quickly heal wounds, scrapes, cuts, burns and abrasions. This quick-absorbing, petrolatum-free healer has been shown to inhibit the growth of MRSA, Escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, along with other germs and bacteria that often thrive in heavily infested zombie communities.
Also, since it utilizes the “benefits of silver”, you’re also covered in case the whole threat of supernatural infectious diseases moves on to more nocturnal, fanged variety. Keep a bottle of Mr. Fix It on hand, and make sure you check and treat even the most minor of scrapes after every major scuffle, ’cause the last thing you want to be is that guy that brings the whole compound down with fear and paranoia…Or even worse, the munchies when you’re craving flesh.

There’s a lot of crap in the air, and it’s only going to get worse when the zombies show up. particulate matter, paint fumes and vapors are the least of your concerns when you paste a zed at close range with some double-ought buckshot at point blank range. You can’t risk breathing that stuff, but 3M has got you (or at least your face) covered with the 7000 series full faceplate respirator. It doesn’t matter if you reduce those Thriller video extras to a fine grayish-red mist, you can breathe easy, knowing you won’t be taking a piece of them with you, stowed away in your lungs. Plus the wide faceplate doesn’t restrict your vision, so even if you can’t smell them coming, you can still see them flanking you.

I’m not here to make your decision of which side to take in the great “revolver vs semi-auto” debate, but I do want to make sure you have plenty of options when making up your mind. Enter the Smith & Wesson M&P R8, an 8-shot revolver bought to you by one of the premier revolver manufacturers. Yes I’ll make sure you hear that right, the R8 model 327 fires eight (8) .357 magnum rounds. In the zombie infested world of zTomorrow, you need a reliable rugged, easy-to-use firearm if you’re not an expert in all things boom. Revolvers have fewer moving parts, and rely a lot less on oils and lubricants, meaning if you’ve got poor firearm cleaning habits, the revolver will most likely perform when the zeds bash the barriers down at the worst possible time. The above image shows an optional configuration, normally the optics and light are not included…but c’mon, look at that beast! shell out the extra scratch to make your sidearm feel like it’s your go to weapon of choice.

Sporting hot new Parkour-friendly shoes and pants does you no good if they’re only there to make you look pretty. Mobility, speed and an overall high level of fitness will really make all the difference, and put your gear to good use. Parkourpedia is loaded with tons of useful information about this spirit or philosophy that incorporates “a method of moving within your environment and approaching obstacles of any kind, be they physical or mental.” As well as various techniques and conditioning exercises to give you all the tools and attributes you may need to stay one step, leap or vault ahead of the groping zombie masses. I think the icing on the top has to be a great article about how to choose the proper shoes for highly mobile ways.

Fighter pilots are familiar with the phrase “Speed is life”. Never let your speed drop, or you’re risking being out maneuvered or put in a bad situation. Urban zombie survival could learn a lot from this mantra. If you’ve got to get around quickly, you don’t want something as simple as keeping stuff in your hip pockets slowing you down. American Parkour’s APK Combat Trainers allow you to keep all your gear in the sealable upper thigh pockets where they don’t restrict your movement, and stay secure on your person during crazy evasive movement. These are standard military BDU pants, so you know they’re durable, plus keeping your flexibility means your movement is not restricted on the move from high density zombie filled areas.

Running around looking for survivors and survival gear, or on the move from zombies, you don’t want to worry about cracking your elbow or knee on the asphalt while tripping over stray bones. You could probably get away with typical sports gear, but I’m sure you would rather slap on some Armor Pro Tactical Pads. This extremely durable hard shell protective gear is comfortable, tough and still allows full mobility. The knee pads feature a metal rivet hinge to allow a full range of motion while still offering full protection and coverage. The elbow pads feature a “grippy” cap is good for contact on all surfaces and can slide up and down for personal adjustments and fit. Just be sure to resist the urge to grab a shambler in a Muay Thai plum to throw some crushing knee strikes, or dropping a flying atomic elbow off the dumpsters. Common sense is still a much more reliable form of protection.

Alright so Snipers have known for decades that range is one of the most critical factors that keep them safe and make it much tougher for the enemy to evade your fire (if they have no idea where you are, they don’t know where to hide). Enter the Desert Arms Stealth Recon Scout. Any decent rifle can give you serious firepower and accuracy at crazy long range, but the Stealth Recon Scout is a compact sniper weapon system allowing you to carry and deploy it much easier when you need to stay agile. The idea behind the SRS is a compact highly flexible weapon system with the ability to shoot several calibers, allowing the shooter to choose the right round for the job quickly and easily. The bull pup configuration keeps this beast a full foot shorter than most sniper rifles, which in conventional warfare will allow a sniper to move around with other combat units without attracting any additional attention until they’re ready to bring the fire. So maybe zombies don’t notice or care, but you’ll appreciate it when you’re lugging it through all types of terrains in any makeshift vehicles you may be hot wiring.

Until Wakanda allows the export of Vibranium (I’m sure we can find Adamantium, since it seems to pop up everywhere as it is), we’re going to live with shields made of steel. However since the only real threat is the teeth, fingernails and exposed jagged bone that the zombies are flailing away with, steel will do just fine. Courtesy of the Dark Knight Armoury, you can leap into the fray, inspiring those around you with Captain America’s shield, fully battle ready. This ruggedly constructed shield is more than enough to bash around those pesky reanimated corpses trying to get a piece of you and your crew. When things start looking dark, just strap this beast on and bellow out your battle cry. “Survivors Assemble!”
