  • Zombie Apocalypse advice

    I'm curious if you guys have any suggestions for a game I'm in.

    Background: Zombie apocalypse (with fast and smart zombies but also regular zombies) and I have access to a ton of shit and tools and two people to help.
    For materials anything from Gas stations, costco and canadian tire and any tools needed. (including fuel, propane, electronics, solar panels)
    variety of hand and shotguns


    Vehicle list: 4 snowmobiles, 2 Hummers, a smart car (hybrid means electrical motor chargeable with solar panels), a prison bus (don't ask) a couple pickups and a minivan.

    I'm mainly interested in arming up the vehicles specifically the bus and hummers, I can already make bombs as needed and some artillery (spud launcher type weapons). Just any suggestions about them may be cool, it's ok if the idea is out there as this game will also involve superpowers.

    This is the style of prison bus http://www.911filmcars.com/police_bus.html#
    This is probably what the hummers look like http://www.wemotor.com/blog/wp-conte...utomobile1.jpg

    Now I've already come up with a few ideas for the bus and have attached a picture I made up in visio and converted to jpeg.

    Let me explain for the bus:
    first the snowplow blade would probably look like this: http://www.marketlaunchers.com/knutso1.gif

    And the blades on the side are two rows of where I would have taken the stop signs off of school buses, removed the sign and attached blades with a retractable sheath (made from scrap metal and plastic) so basically the pulley would pull down the sheath and the bus would then have blades sticking out at 3 and 5 feet high (neck and gut area I'm thinking).

    The roof would have floodlights running from a collection of car batteries that are charged by the solar panel on the roof and the speakers would also run on the batteries.

    Some of the symbols look odd but I was improvising with what Visio has and also this is not to scale at all just a concept drawing basically.

    And yes I am insane.

    Most likely flood lights and speakers will also be put on the hummers but to a smaller extent.

    I'd put some kind of railing around the roof of the bus, add a roof hatch and ladder to get up there and use it as high ground to shoot from should it be needed (rather than open the windows or cut holes in the bus to shoot from). Maybe a watch tower from scaffolding could be fitted, a basic scaffold frame, length of the bus with a grill floor and built in ladder, hinged to the roof for storage. You simply lie it down when moving, bolt it upright when stopped for resting so there'd be a good field of vision when resting, even in broken terrain, to prevent any sneak assaults from the smart guys and get a guy up there with a rifle and you've got a clear shot at anythings (such as a smart zombie controlling a horde of thick, if such a thing exists in this game).
