The first thing you'd want to do is lay a mine field aroud your
fortification.  Then, get an AK with a few drum mags.  Low recoil, plenty
of shots before you have to reload.  Not the most accurate weapon for head
shots, but zombies are slow moving so you'll have enough time to take a
follow up shot.

You obviously haven't done your homework. Both these scenarios occur
regularly where there aren't enough grizzlies to keep the population of
zombies and poodles under control. For the zombies there is the reliable
.577 Zombie Zapper available in the better gun stores. For the poodles
I'm partial to the .380 PP (Poodle Popper), as designed by the great
John Browning.

The problem with Zombies is when they swarm - Head shots are nice to
kill them, but when you've got 40 or 50 of them moving towards you it's
not going to be a bolt action that you want to use. There are two
thoughts here - one, hit them with enough force to disable their ability
to move (blow legs off, hip, etc...) to give you time for well placed
head shots or, two, use something with enough accuracy and power to blow
a nice size hole THROUGH the head while still providing speed.

If I were with a friend, I would suggest that we carry one of each type
weapon, possibly two of each (one of each type for each of us). I would
also want something that I could reach-out and touch these critters with
- a 308 heavy barrel or something like that.

Someone else mentioned using Mines around the perimeter - but they're
only good for one use, with a swarm you would have Zombies on your porch
in no time.

Flaming Zombies are more problems too - they still move around until the
head is destroyed, and that means they can set anything they run into on
fire - bad idea.

Go for a auto-shotgun for close in, and something with at least some
accuracy out to 50 yards with a heavy round and full auto, and then a
308 long barrel for reaching them at the end of the street. If you can
keep a 2" pattern at the end of the street you may have enough time to
get 20 of them before you have to switch to the shotgun or AK.

Well thrown (tossed) explosives to start - since you can target them in
the largest group from the second floor of the fortification. Slugs in
the shot-gun for the rest, or, since I like my rifle, and since Zombie
dogs move slow too, the 7mm Mag or a 300 Win Mag rifle to finish them.

There were some pretty speedy Zombies (especially near the beginning
of it).  Maybe it had something to do with the new fitness craze

Naa, no matter what the movies show, shootin' 'em in the head won't do it -
they are already dead.  How about a water hose or super soaker?  The zombies
are all dried up like freeze dried worms.  They would soak up water like a
sponge, and like a sponge, get all squishy and won't be able to move.

Hoo boy.  Don't we have anything better to discuss?

That's "Dawn of the Dead".  Yep, those zombies were a *lot* scarier
than the ones in the original.  The zombie-sniping sequence was
especially amusing.  Pretty durn good remake, I thought.  Get down

An AK or AR type rifle should take care of the zombies. Low recoil for quick
recovery/multiple shots, plenty of ammo available and large capacity make
'em my first choice. If you don't think you're a good enough shot to place a
single bullet to the head or if you aren't that worried about large numbers
of the zombies and/or there are several close together, a shotgun with
BB/buckshot would be a good choice. It would also do a pretty good job on
those poodles, too. Now, if those turn out to be normal pooldles (is there
is such a thing as a "normal" poodle?) instead of zombie poodles, poisioned
burger or rat traps might slow those little nippers down a bit.

8mm mauser headshots for the zombies. using all that 1950's dated

True, but some well placed mines and claymores cut significantly reduce the
number of zombies you have to battle.  After the mines go off you could cut
down the rest with a belt fed machine gun.  It would also be good to have a
partner with a 12ga to take out any zombies that got past the mines and
through the machine gun fire.

Of course, you also need to have a piranha filled moat around your house as
a first line of defense.

Having only been in the Navy, never seeing a claymore go off, I can only
guess that a claymore works well to kill at close range and injure at
short range - I would have to guess that the explosion (10') range would
eliminate Zombies in that range (30 degree arc, out to 10 or 20 feet
max, for zombies only), but injuries beyond that would not do much to a
Zombie due to the way that have to be dispatched.

In thinking about this, how much different Zombies are from Democrats :)

All this talk about poodles.  I assume you are talking about the man made
miniature type.  The original poodle is quite a bit larger.  Mine growing up
weight 125 lb, and could clear six foot block walls like they weren't there.
Smart, strong, quick, and with very powerful jaws.  They were originally
used as hunting and working dogs.

Piranha sound good, but if the poodles become zombies by eating zombie
brains, then you would have zombie piranha.  Given stories about walking
fish (movie Snakehead), wouldn't walking piranha zombie fish be worse than
poodles?  At least the poodles would bark.

Personally I favor claymores for the poodles.  The zombies I believe
still call for aimed headshots or try to mow them down with an MG...
The zombies strike me as the lesser threat since the poodles would
prey on them as well, distracting them for the head shots.  Now the
poodles are pure evil...  nasty disgusting little kick dogs...  Let
loose a few dozen maine coon cats among them and see who comes back
alive :-)  Perhaps poison kibbles?

I'd keep them.  They're not getting out of the water anyway.  Zombie
piranahas would make a great home security system, plus an interesting
conversation peice.

Yep - good huntin' dawgs!  And the cutsie "poodle cut" for the fur was a
practical thing from the 1500s.  Nice thick mat of fur on the chest to
protect against brambles and keep it warm, smooth flanks so the
aforementioned brambles don't hold the dog back.  Tufts of fur around
the joints to keep them warm in cold weather.

Don't you just love how the french had to mess up a perfectly good dog?

Better make it a water-cooled MG, if you're going to be dealing with a
serious attack.

(And please - don't point it out the window and shoot the zombies right
in front of you.  Read up on laying out fire plans.  Pay particular
attention to your FPLs.)

My JRT can clear six foot walls like they weren't there, and he's smart,
strong, quick, and has very powerful jaws.

He only weights 14 lbs, though.  (Though he thinks he's bigger).

I think a 30mm cannon mounted on a gunship would be the best choice
for either of these cases.  That or just strafe them with a wart hog
anti-tank jet.

Thank you for taking the FVZA aptitude test. Your score indicates that
your personality might be best-suited for a position as a Shadow.
Shadows were elite trained fighters who conducted night missions
against vampires and zombies. Unlike members of the Assault Team,
Shadows generally worked alone. The best Shadows tended to be loner
types who possessed a combination of supreme confidence and a problem
with authority. An ideal Shadow candidate was young and single, as the
job's training requirements and strange hours allowed little time for
a personal life.

Well, the original post did say TOY poodles, that's why I mentioned rat
traps. Might not kill one outright, but it should slow those little buggers
down long enough to hit 'em with a rolled up newspaper!

SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR A BELT-FED 40MM H.E.A.P. KIND OF DEVICE. I guess
that means I'd have to fabricate a mount for it on my ATV or something
and just drive everywhere. A small utility trailer behind it for the
ammo cans would be handy, I guess.

See,...this is where having a crazy cat-lady living on your block

Maybe get in a little sniping practice while you're at it.
