AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Holy cow where did that come from.

from fist shaking land.

I looked back from this page and STILL didnt notice it.

well i didnt see it coming

Give me a good melee weapon, And I think I cold protect myself from zombies

Insert "cold" related temperature joke here.
Anyway, it's hard to say what you could or could not do in a zombie encounter. It's been said that you have to take whatever you can do, and halve it. That's what you can 100% count on for accuracy, speed, agility, et cetera. In any event, the best defense for zombies is to stay out of their effective range. Since that's about a 3-foot radius, that usually isn't too hard. I could go on about this all day, but in short, using melee combat against zombies further levels the playing field. Once they can attack back, you're in trouble.

Give me a good gun, some ammunition, and a car and I'm fine. Meet up with all the other gun toters around, let the CDC know what's going on, sit back and turn the apocalypse into a minor inconvenience.

Actually fighting the zombies is so mainstream. All the cool kids get themselves infected on purpose.

Oh, sweet genius. A car is a super bad idea (a pun, seeing as Superbad was super bad) because of everything to take into account. Do you have enough gas, or do you know a safe, reliable place to get more? Do you or someone with you know how to repair it? Do you have supplies and tools for it? Are the roadways you're taking going to be clear? Will it be strong and powerful enough to drive over zombies and, more importantly, rough terrain?
Pardon me for out-walking them.

I fail to see how it's a bad idea. Roads closed? Off-road. I live in a desert, there is plenty of ground that is not asphalt. As for where to go? There's an armory or Edward's Air Force Base. I can take my pick between a tank or letting the military clean up. Probably the base since I don't want to be in town when the B-2's are inevitably deployed. There are other bases throughout the Southern California area too, like Riverside.

Let's see how a horde does against constant carpet bombing and strafing runs by Predators and Reapers.

Well, a lot of explosive power has to do with shockwave and shrapnel damage, which won't do much to zombies. It will be devastating, absolutely, and the debris would do something, but the fact remains that a clean-up crew is still needed. Also, as for the base, you have to take into account all the people that have the same idea and are faster/closer than you.
Of course, this all is relative to the size of the breakout. I can chill on my roof with a crowbar and a .22 rifle for a few days and ride out the worst of it if it's class 1 or maybe 2.

You have absolutely no idea what an explosion's shockwave does to the human body do you? Those action movies where people ride the explosion? Would never happen. They'd be torn apart by the force.

You greatly overestimate the chances and durability of what is effectively a human body with no mind or defenses against an organized military.

Yeah, I get that the shockwave would rip apart nearby zombies, especially decayed ones, but the fact remains that with explosives, it takes a lot more to kill zombies than people.
The military would be unreliable in this situation since a) they haven't fought it before, b) they wouldn't immediately recognize it for what it is, again, since they haven't fought it before, and c) zombies are terrifying! When a nice controlled burst of bullets slips right through an enemy's torso and doesn't even slow him up, that's scary. And when their flamethrowers, grenades, and machine guns are generated close to useless, ranks are gonna start to shatter. Period. That's what terror does to people, even trained professionals.

...

Really. You think that flamethrowers, grenades, and guns are useless? Are you fucking kidding me? A rotting corpse is not more durable than a living one, which isn't durable in the first place you realize.

Come back when you actually understand what weapons do rather than claiming they're weak.

Shovels.
