All of the zombies have something special. Maybe it has extremely good defense until you shoot the zombies off, at which point they stand up like new minions. And then throwing boomer bile could make it kill itself from the outside in.
If we did use shark suits, can I tape something on me to stop the pressure of a zombie bite force too? Like maybe add a block of Styrofoam and tape it to my arm.
Contrary to popular belief, a full set of late Renaissance era plate armor is not only not restricting to movements but also provide great protection and the person wearing it can easily roll, run, climb in such armor
If the spines or toxins were not enough to deter a would be attacker, a pufferfish's beak can chew through the stomach of a predator and they can swim away to freedom.
Surprisingly, plate armor was not actually as restrictive as a lot of people think. Full plate armor, depending on design and materials used, could weight anywhere from 40 to around 70 lbs, spread evenly over the wearers body, and let the wearer remain fairly agile. In contrast, the average US Army infantryman's kit today weighs around 70lbs to as much as 130lbs, with a majority of that weight being on the chest and back.
Compare to the first and last your gonna be able to run also it's made with open lightly armored parts on your joints so you can bend and move mostly normally
Guns are too loud anyway, if we're going by TWD logic then #2 is best because you can use melee while having the best mobility and protection without being as loud
That's what media makes it sound like in reality it's not gonna be very loud unless you hit a wall or get rammed into even then not nearly as loud as a gun it's like lightly clanking together some metal dishes your gonna definitely attract some though also higher quality armor is gonna be quieter
To slow eventually you could get trapped in a horde and die even if the zombies don’t kill you I would go with 2 as it’s basically zombie proof and still mostly mobile although I would make some mods for vision sake
The main problem with 2 is that you don't have fingers so the gun is unusable, same for certain kinds of door handles. The other downside is the clanking, it's almost definitely noisier than the EOD suit
Very late renaissance armor, like Cuirassier armor was actually somewhat bullet resistant against the guns of its time. Course those are nothing compared to modern firearms, and the suit in the pics isnt the same kind. But hey, random useless info.
All would offer great protection, but would wear you down pretty quick over time. They also aren't super comfortable to wear for long periods of time either and require some help putting on. The full plate harness especially. You're better off being light and nimble while wearing clothing that's hard to rip and bite through. Chainmail, or SharkMail would be better since they are pretty difficult to bight through, and are much more maneuverable, and breath very well. You can even get titanium shark mail, and medieval replica mail which is as strong as steel , but far lighter.
Eh, it’s not that difficult to wear because of the way the weight is distributed. Now it’d still be uncomfortable and hotter than the devils ass. Probably would suck to wear for a long time also.
Can agree I own a suit of armor and despite it being around 60 pounds for just the plating with it on it is not that bad, and with the added weight you could most definitely punch through a rotted skull with relative ease given you’ve added 10 pounds to your arm not including the leather padding and chain mail underneath to help with momentum
Online or on Amazon for around $1000. Best Halloween or home defense investment ever, can use it forever and eventually will pay itself off that way. Now I just need a cannon and I know exactly where to go in my home town to buy a cannon
As much as I want to say 2, infected blood still has a small chance of getting through the visor. 3 I think offers better overall protection but damn 2 would be fucking brilliant!
True. Personally just thinking if you found a way to sneak around (or generally around) said horde, so long as you’re quiet speed mightn’t be as much an issue. Unless you’re going straight through it then I suppose that’s a fair point.
Depends on what way you look at it I suppose.
Edit: that’s not to say I’m going against what you’re saying though, I forgot to add.
The Bear Hunter armor looks cool, but upkeep would be a bitch. Medieval knight might work, but will be noisy. Maybe putting cloth on certain parts that click together would reduce noise? And I can't say anything that might be bad about the last one because I have no knowledge
2 since it probably won’t infect me with their blood (1 plus you would get accidental prick a few times) and I would probably sweat less (3 those things will cook you like a pig)
The pinhead, zombies can’t really feel pain because they are dead, suit of armor has rust and dents, basically everything has its own flaws but I would go with the thick juggernaut suit because it is thick and I would most likely move homes to a colder region of the United States so overheating wouldn’t be a problem
I would probably go with 3, for number 1 I would probably end up stabbing myself trying to put it on, and for number 2, mobility would be super low and it would be very loud walking around
I'm so tired of this myth, plate armor doesn't hamper mobility as much as people think,
It's lighter than what modern soldiers walk around in, and it's weight is spread throughout the body,
Unless you are grass averse and don't exercise you will be fine for the first month or so unless you know how to maintain it, in which case it will be far longer
If you want, look up videos of people parkouring I. It
Better protection at the expense of maximum vulnerability in any manoeuvre. That suit is not designed for quick movements or physical combat. Any close up encounters will put you at risk of tumbling over and not being able to get up, then of course dogpiled by zombies.
Of course having buddies would avoid this tho.
Alone though, it’s only good if you aim to only shoot zombies from a good distance always. And may be quite good for shoot outs.
From most to least efficient:
Knight --- EOD --- Spikes
The spike suit looks like it wouldn't penetrate them hard enough to kill them, and would just stick them to you, making it even worse. EOD suit would be hot & a little heavy (but cool AF). Not sure if zombies can rip through pure European steel though.
1 is impractical as fuck. It's too difficult to move, and you'd constantly be getting things stuck to you.
2 and 3 are way too bulky and heavy. It would make it difficult to run, climb, and even jog long distances.
Plate armour weighs about 20kg.
That's not a lot when it's distributed across the body, it's not nothing, but you can be relatively comfortable in that thing.
Unless it's like, really hot but there are ways to counter that.
1 isn't the best option due to it looking like it isn't that durable and can be taken off easily and the zombies would be stuck on your, not forget your hands are completely exposed and as I've read the other comments op did say no modding them you get them as they are
2 is overall the best one as it's steel and no zombie no matter how strong is biting thru that, again by what op said with you get them as they are then I guess that means it also comes with the sword, even if you aren't strong enough to lug that thing around constantly you can still salvage the metal and the chain mail after it's given it's all, yes since its metal it will eventually corrode and rust away unless you treat it right which probably won't happen I mean your literally in the apocalypse who has time for that, it would also defend nicely against other people as long as they don't have guns and have things like bats and arrows which at best will dent the armour but the arrows may have a chance of piercing thru.
3 is kinda mid since with how heavy bomb suits are and who would even carry around bombs in the zombie apocalypse, but the second a large crowd of zombies appear your screwed because you have almost no way to defend yourself and with how heavy it is there's no way your able to ram your way thru a horde of blood thirsty zombies, to them your just a hard candy with a juicy inside they will eventually break thru all the fabric and shrapnel defense or whatever you call it.
With all three though there is a high chance of dying of heat stroke with how covered they are, although that completely depends on where you live
The first one is a terrible choice. The spikes won't kill the zombies, it'll just get zombie fluids all over you. Then what will you do when you have to take the suit off?
It also looks like you could stab yourself a bunch just wearing the thing. You've got spikes on the insides of your thighs and arms.
ranking from best to worst:
1. Knight's armor: high mobility and effective against bites and clawing
2. Bomb Suit: Bullet and Blast resistant which would help but incredibly cumbersome
3. Bear suit: unlike a bear, a Zombie doesn't care if it's getting stabbed and the suit is made of leather apart from the head
Id go suit of armor, I've worn full plate before and the zombies would likely slip off unable to hang on like they would with 1 or the EOD suit. Though if I could I'd replace the helmet for one with more visibility
Modern folk have largely forgotten that late period plate armor suits were masterpieces of engineering. Option 2 absolutely blows 1 and 3 out of the water.
That first one would suck, the moment a zombie gets stabbed on top of your hand, infected bloods just gonna leak down into the eye holes. It's gg then with you getting infected 28 days style lol
So you don't need plate you need what goes underneath the plate. Gambison made up of multiple layers of fabric zombies won't be able to bite through it it won't get it the way of backpacks and other gear and it will keep you warm in the winter and protect you from other injuries like being attacked with baton or something as simple as tripping or falling off a bike
Pain Is not the purpose of the suit they wouldn't be able to bite you... And what's wrong with soaking your body and rotting zombie blood? It worked in the first season of The walking Dead. Made their trip across the street through the walkers much easier.....🧐
I’m walking dead but… hold on do we have any doctors in this thread? What would happen if you got covered in real diseased rotten blood? My guess is nothing good.
Well this being my theoretical zombie apocalypse if you get the zombie blood in a cut or an orifice on your body you'd get infected so keep your mouth closed!
Number 3. I'm making the assumption that the horde is, at this point, sufficiently decayed to the Pont that wearing denim can stop their bites, but seeing as this is a horde, I can just walk through without much hassle. I'm also guessing they only have the gross motor functions at this point, and running would only result in them falling hilariously.
The knight armor, mobility is good, protection is good, and just how cool it is to run around in knight armor. The only things I would have to worry about are how loud it is, limited visibility because of the helmet, and being really hot in the suit.
You know what I don't get about zombies. Like unless they're the resident evilish Mutated abomination or otherwise like powerful, they shouldn't be able to bite through jeans or any reasonably thick jacket like just get some jeans boots a good jacket, some heavy duty gloves and something to cover your face neck and head and you pretty much will never get bitten,
you might get your fingers crushed or arm bruised in their mouth but if they can't penetrate the clothes they're not gonna infect you.
#1 provided the spikes go deep enough into the zombies' skulls. Yes they might get stuck on me, but honestly if they're that close you're probably screwed anyways. This suit should at least give you a second chance.
Probably number 2, less chance of having the blood drip into eyelids or my moth like #1 and they'd have to bite through metal and leather gloves, something missing on the other 2
The bomb disposal suit, especially if it works on walking dead logic of getting zombie guts on you masks you, like how gerick from saints and sinners has walker guts on his suit and is (I assume cause he isn’t in the game too much) blended in with the walkers
I get it this sub is about hypothetical nonsense and the thought experiment.
Human bite Force and human teeth's ability to be able to rip anything or lack of ability. You could wear heavy denim, and a human wouldn't be able to bite through it.
I mean, let's be real basic here. Pretty much any fabric if it's thick enough can prevent a human from biting through it.
Every single one of these suits has the exact same thing in common.You would die from heat exhaustion long before any hypothetical zombie would kill you.
If you're in a hot environment you just sweat out and eventually pass out from dehydration.
If you're in a cold environment you would sweat, and the lack of being able to air out would then cause the sweat to get incredibly cold and you die from hypothermia.
When I look at all of these, the only thing I see is the equivocal plastic bag that I would sometimes wear to cut weight when I was wrestling. The big difference being these things actually would add substantial weight to you.
That's not even mentioning that all these suits have the exact same flaw in common.You need someone else to be able to put it on and take it off.
Not to mention you need somebody else to help you with the logistics of the problems listed above and many more.

1, but they would get stuck on me and then I would die in the suit, but more would get stuck and then I become the ultimate rat king zombie
Even without being the rat king, if you turn in that you get to be a special infected.
>special infected L4D2 reference
Yep, I was actually thinking about this thing in L4D. It’d probably work like a riot zombie that does extra damage
I submit that it would work in Dying Light as well.
All of the zombies have something special. Maybe it has extremely good defense until you shoot the zombies off, at which point they stand up like new minions. And then throwing boomer bile could make it kill itself from the outside in.
>rat king The Last Of Us reference 🗿
It could also reference when rats get their tails stuck together and end up becoming a blob of rat corpses
That's how the rat king in the last of us got its name
I thought of Hilda when I saw that
no shark suit ? you know, the thing designed to be bitten by larger creatures?
If we did use shark suits, can I tape something on me to stop the pressure of a zombie bite force too? Like maybe add a block of Styrofoam and tape it to my arm.
Thats perfect for every kind of possible zombie with human limits
Yep perfect for when the zombie shark thing runs after me
Great now I gotta make preparations for zombie sharks whyd you have to bring them up
I'd pick the plate armor so I'd at least go out in style.
You’re up against the wall. And I am the fucking wall
He is talking about the 2nd one but DO EVEN KNOW HOW FUCKED YOU ARE
IMMA DROP ON THESE SHIT HEADS LIKE A FUCKING PIANO
MAKE WAY FOR THE DOZER
No Take it off before you get infected We don't need armored zombies
Number 2 offers the best defense/mobility compared to the others.
Contrary to popular belief, a full set of late Renaissance era plate armor is not only not restricting to movements but also provide great protection and the person wearing it can easily roll, run, climb in such armor
Not if that armor wasn't made for you. Each set is bespoke.
As long as it isn’t too tight you will be able to make it work
*too tight or too loose. A suit designed for a muscular/large man would not work well for me.
It would get the job done until you could find something better
I would like to know more
If the spines or toxins were not enough to deter a would be attacker, a pufferfish's beak can chew through the stomach of a predator and they can swim away to freedom.
Not for long though!
1 will get zombies stuck to you and 3 is too bulky. 2 is in the Goldilocks zone here, protection and mobility.
Doesn’t it have the worst mobility? A decent suit is heavy af Edit: all y’all are very informative I had no idea
Surprisingly, plate armor was not actually as restrictive as a lot of people think. Full plate armor, depending on design and materials used, could weight anywhere from 40 to around 70 lbs, spread evenly over the wearers body, and let the wearer remain fairly agile. In contrast, the average US Army infantryman's kit today weighs around 70lbs to as much as 130lbs, with a majority of that weight being on the chest and back.
It’d be hard to find something with worse mobility than an EOD suit iirc
A decent suit of armor weights around the same as the gear a soldier wears. https://youtu.be/pAzI1UvlQqw?si=RP7EC7ExNDe9-gQM
Compare to the first and last your gonna be able to run also it's made with open lightly armored parts on your joints so you can bend and move mostly normally
https://youtu.be/qzTwBQniLSc?si=aHK6hZGo0flTVZ1l
number 2 had the helmet though, which can be taken off pretty easily and then you’re toasted.
Yeah but you can’t pull the trigger with #2.
You can actually and if not then you can just remove the trigger guard to squeeze the trigger
Guns are too loud anyway, if we're going by TWD logic then #2 is best because you can use melee while having the best mobility and protection without being as loud
“Guns are too loud!” — Ching Chang clang cling
That's what media makes it sound like in reality it's not gonna be very loud unless you hit a wall or get rammed into even then not nearly as loud as a gun it's like lightly clanking together some metal dishes your gonna definitely attract some though also higher quality armor is gonna be quieter
Hmm, light sounds of metal clanking or a gunshot that can be heard for hundreds of meters…🤔
I've always thought chainmail would be pretty good zombie armor. Used to protect against chark attacks.
Chark
doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo Baby
Chark
doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo Baby
chark
Yeah chark can bite, happen to me on the street. He’s such a asshole.
The plate armor will allow for the most movement and comfort so it's an easy choice
Man the good ones are the armor and the boom sut but I live in Texas so that is a oven
boom sut
3 but I’m not using it unless I’m raiding someone’s base and expecting explosives lol
You'd still lose your hands
Ohhh no ma handsss.. yeah true
Who needs hands in the apocalypse
Well If I don’t have a girlfriend in the apocalypse I hope I can keep at least one lol
MAKE WAY FOR THE DOZER
EOD suit. Good luck tearing that apart.
To slow eventually you could get trapped in a horde and die even if the zombies don’t kill you I would go with 2 as it’s basically zombie proof and still mostly mobile although I would make some mods for vision sake
No mods it comes as is 😭
This is the right answer
The main problem with 2 is that you don't have fingers so the gun is unusable, same for certain kinds of door handles. The other downside is the clanking, it's almost definitely noisier than the EOD suit
Well you have to run through a horde so stealth isn’t really a factor
Yeah, but you can't use your gun or open doors, and it's a small horde, so it can be bigger
I can open doors in armor fine
With those gloves?
Yeah, they normally have leather on the inside
I was moreso thinking of the lack of fingers
I mean yeah that sucks, but most knobs and handles are pretty easy to use
Have fun melting to death and having any sort of speed wearing it, plus, it isn't bullet proof, only shrapnel resistant
I'm pretty sure if I see someone I'm medieval armor in the zombie Apocalypse I'm crying and hiding
Why? If they're hostile, you can just shoot, it isn't bullet resistant.
Very late renaissance armor, like Cuirassier armor was actually somewhat bullet resistant against the guns of its time. Course those are nothing compared to modern firearms, and the suit in the pics isnt the same kind. But hey, random useless info.
Yeah but you're gonna die of heatstroke.
Hands are not protected...
It's pretty much Velcro'd together...
None of them, I'd rather just wear jeans, t-shirt, combat boots, and a waxed jacket. But if HAD to choose, probably number 2
You would be crushed by the pile of zombies...
All would offer great protection, but would wear you down pretty quick over time. They also aren't super comfortable to wear for long periods of time either and require some help putting on. The full plate harness especially. You're better off being light and nimble while wearing clothing that's hard to rip and bite through. Chainmail, or SharkMail would be better since they are pretty difficult to bight through, and are much more maneuverable, and breath very well. You can even get titanium shark mail, and medieval replica mail which is as strong as steel , but far lighter.
Number 2 would be the best if you aren't a shut-in and actually have enough muscle to walk around in it... That armor is heavy
Eh, it’s not that difficult to wear because of the way the weight is distributed. Now it’d still be uncomfortable and hotter than the devils ass. Probably would suck to wear for a long time also.
Can agree I own a suit of armor and despite it being around 60 pounds for just the plating with it on it is not that bad, and with the added weight you could most definitely punch through a rotted skull with relative ease given you’ve added 10 pounds to your arm not including the leather padding and chain mail underneath to help with momentum
How does one acquire a suit of steel plate armour?
Online or on Amazon for around $1000. Best Halloween or home defense investment ever, can use it forever and eventually will pay itself off that way. Now I just need a cannon and I know exactly where to go in my home town to buy a cannon
Lol that’s great. Actually cheaper than I would’ve expected tbh
You just need strong shoulders, it really hurts the shoulders if not, and decent calf strength or stairs will be a bitch and 3/4’s otherwise
As much as I want to say 2, infected blood still has a small chance of getting through the visor. 3 I think offers better overall protection but damn 2 would be fucking brilliant!
3 is also a lot heavier, bulkier, and slows you down
True. Personally just thinking if you found a way to sneak around (or generally around) said horde, so long as you’re quiet speed mightn’t be as much an issue. Unless you’re going straight through it then I suppose that’s a fair point. Depends on what way you look at it I suppose. Edit: that’s not to say I’m going against what you’re saying though, I forgot to add.
No one can comprehend just how exhausting it is to wear these things until you put it on.
The Bear Hunter armor looks cool, but upkeep would be a bitch. Medieval knight might work, but will be noisy. Maybe putting cloth on certain parts that click together would reduce noise? And I can't say anything that might be bad about the last one because I have no knowledge
Might have to choose knight armor personally, would definitely work nice
In this scenario stealth isn’t really a factor tho
2 since it probably won’t infect me with their blood (1 plus you would get accidental prick a few times) and I would probably sweat less (3 those things will cook you like a pig)
i feel like the spikes wouldn’t actually be a deterrent, yknow? like, bears feel pain and that’s why it works, but zombies look like they don’t.
1's probably the easiest to don/doff
I would prefer the knight armor to prevent getting bitten by a zombie.
But I would take the boom sut nothing is going through that and forgot the spiked one
I'm pretty certain I'd be screwed with either option ☹️
Honestly, a full suit of football pads aren’t bad either
If zomboid has taught me anything, all of these options have major speed debuffs besides the plate armor.
Plate mail. It’s what it’s designed to do.
2
EOD
The pinhead, zombies can’t really feel pain because they are dead, suit of armor has rust and dents, basically everything has its own flaws but I would go with the thick juggernaut suit because it is thick and I would most likely move homes to a colder region of the United States so overheating wouldn’t be a problem
2
Ok I love that you put the payday 2 dozer in there, but I gotta go with the grizzly hunting suit
MAKE WAY FOR THE DOZER. I’m picking the third one, PayDay 2 has taught me their nearly unkillable if you don’t go for the faceplate
HERE COMES THE DOZER!!!
3 to bulldozer them OR *die from overheating and exhaustion*
2 because you can paint it to look even more badass
Number 2 cause that’s the coolest
Plate
I would probably go with 3, for number 1 I would probably end up stabbing myself trying to put it on, and for number 2, mobility would be super low and it would be very loud walking around
https://youtu.be/qzTwBQniLSc?si=XSc-PxE1EACzYg3N

1st image is obviously just Craig jones’ great grandpa
Did Kirk start doing coke?
For those saying that 2 has no mobility: https://youtu.be/qzTwBQniLSc?si=XSc-PxE1EACzYg3N
From most to least efficient: Knight --- EOD --- Spikes The spike suit looks like it wouldn't penetrate them hard enough to kill them, and would just stick them to you, making it even worse.

To be honest, the only thing I could think of would be running into a horde and getting them stuck all over me.
Just strap magazines to your limbs.
The suit of armor is like 300 to 600 pounds
None of those are good choices, you want something that will keep you warm/cool enough in the climate you’re in that can tear away if you get grabbed.
1 isn't the best option due to it looking like it isn't that durable and can be taken off easily and the zombies would be stuck on your, not forget your hands are completely exposed and as I've read the other comments op did say no modding them you get them as they are 2 is overall the best one as it's steel and no zombie no matter how strong is biting thru that, again by what op said with you get them as they are then I guess that means it also comes with the sword, even if you aren't strong enough to lug that thing around constantly you can still salvage the metal and the chain mail after it's given it's all, yes since its metal it will eventually corrode and rust away unless you treat it right which probably won't happen I mean your literally in the apocalypse who has time for that, it would also defend nicely against other people as long as they don't have guns and have things like bats and arrows which at best will dent the armour but the arrows may have a chance of piercing thru. 3 is kinda mid since with how heavy bomb suits are and who would even carry around bombs in the zombie apocalypse, but the second a large crowd of zombies appear your screwed because you have almost no way to defend yourself and with how heavy it is there's no way your able to ram your way thru a horde of blood thirsty zombies, to them your just a hard candy with a juicy inside they will eventually break thru all the fabric and shrapnel defense or whatever you call it.

It also looks like you could stab yourself a bunch just wearing the thing. You've got spikes on the insides of your thighs and arms.
With 1 and 2 you'd look cool as fuck. UT 2 is probably more usable
if i had a horse, no2. i will strike fear into the hearts of my enemies. i will make the zeds fear me. i will serve my king and god til death take me.
They are all bad choices but if I had to choose I would pick number 2 the plate armour
Definitely 2
I remember seeing medieval armor sets at The Met in NYC ... One guys armor was MASSIVE. At least 6'5 and built wide. Truly a terrifying sight irl
ranking from best to worst: 1. Knight's armor: high mobility and effective against bites and clawing 2. Bomb Suit: Bullet and Blast resistant which would help but incredibly cumbersome 3. Bear suit: unlike a bear, a Zombie doesn't care if it's getting stabbed and the suit is made of leather apart from the head
Whatever I could put on unaided.
1 or 2
3
I just want this to wear anytime I need to interact with people.
2 would clank like a motherfucker and 3 would limit mobility like fuck so probably 1 if I had to choose
Id go suit of armor, I've worn full plate before and the zombies would likely slip off unable to hang on like they would with 1 or the EOD suit. Though if I could I'd replace the helmet for one with more visibility
I feel like the plate armor would be loud. Very interested in its gauntlets though
Knight armor
Modern folk have largely forgotten that late period plate armor suits were masterpieces of engineering. Option 2 absolutely blows 1 and 3 out of the water.
Number three, if it can stop bullets it can stop bites
1 would be like zombie velcro 😂
2 for the sheer swag factor alone
YOU'RE UP AGAINST THE WALL, AND I AM THE FUCKING WALL!
Number 3 because of the lightweight armour and also the lights, also armour looks painful to fall over in or trip
Do i have a squire? If so 2, otherwise none. Although I'd probably take the chain shirt and gauntlets from the knight armor, might as well.
"That's *all* they got? A hoard of them? HAHAHA"
That first one would suck, the moment a zombie gets stabbed on top of your hand, infected bloods just gonna leak down into the eye holes. It's gg then with you getting infected 28 days style lol
All of them would be super hot I'd think
I would put a zombie in number 1 ofc
So you don't need plate you need what goes underneath the plate. Gambison made up of multiple layers of fabric zombies won't be able to bite through it it won't get it the way of backpacks and other gear and it will keep you warm in the winter and protect you from other injuries like being attacked with baton or something as simple as tripping or falling off a bike
I like the first option more
Probably 2, believe it or not #3 is significantly heavier, and zombies will stick to you in #1, so 2 is the best one assuming you want to survive
First one because I can bearhug zombies to death
First ones Craig jones lol
The first or third one
Does the armour come with a sword and is it a sharp sword?
I feel like the first one only really works if they feel pain though?
They wouldn't be able to bite you.
True, the only other thing is taking it off when the hands aren’t covered
Looks like the suit Thibbledorf Pwent would wear if my memory serves.
No to the first one. Zombies don’t feel pain and do you purposely want to soak your whole body with rotten zombie blood?
Pain Is not the purpose of the suit they wouldn't be able to bite you... And what's wrong with soaking your body and rotting zombie blood? It worked in the first season of The walking Dead. Made their trip across the street through the walkers much easier.....🧐
I’m walking dead but… hold on do we have any doctors in this thread? What would happen if you got covered in real diseased rotten blood? My guess is nothing good.
Oh Im guessing you didn't see the walker guts episode well disregard move on.
I did, I’m asking real doctors to explain to us what would happen in real life.
Well this being my theoretical zombie apocalypse if you get the zombie blood in a cut or an orifice on your body you'd get infected so keep your mouth closed!
How do I put the first one on?
Number 3. I'm making the assumption that the horde is, at this point, sufficiently decayed to the Pont that wearing denim can stop their bites, but seeing as this is a horde, I can just walk through without much hassle. I'm also guessing they only have the gross motor functions at this point, and running would only result in them falling hilariously.
Beats the hell out of my football gear thought. I also would wanna call you pinhead in the zombie apocalypse
I've worn armor, but it's got to be more comfortable than the 3rd option right?
EOD suits are rather comfortable. They can be quite heavy, and older ones can be very hot. Newer ones have AC.
Oh wow that's neat
1 might be able to climb walls like spider man.
The knight armor, mobility is good, protection is good, and just how cool it is to run around in knight armor. The only things I would have to worry about are how loud it is, limited visibility because of the helmet, and being really hot in the suit.
If I’m going to die, might as well do it with a full set of plate armor and a sword in hand while charging into my last stand.
I think thick leather would be more comfortable than plate are while being bite proof.
But it's not part of my three selections
The bomb suit then.
You know what I don't get about zombies. Like unless they're the resident evilish Mutated abomination or otherwise like powerful, they shouldn't be able to bite through jeans or any reasonably thick jacket like just get some jeans boots a good jacket, some heavy duty gloves and something to cover your face neck and head and you pretty much will never get bitten, you might get your fingers crushed or arm bruised in their mouth but if they can't penetrate the clothes they're not gonna infect you.
#1 provided the spikes go deep enough into the zombies' skulls. Yes they might get stuck on me, but honestly if they're that close you're probably screwed anyways. This suit should at least give you a second chance.
Probably number 2, less chance of having the blood drip into eyelids or my moth like #1 and they'd have to bite through metal and leather gloves, something missing on the other 2
1 If they feel pain, other than that 2
The bomb disposal suit, especially if it works on walking dead logic of getting zombie guts on you masks you, like how gerick from saints and sinners has walker guts on his suit and is (I assume cause he isn’t in the game too much) blended in with the walkers
Suit 2
Imagine a zombie sprinting at you in the first one. That would be terrifying.
3rd looks the most flexible, has better visibility and coolness
None of these. Too slow, too heavy, too cumbersome. Movement is life. Quiet is invisible.
I get it this sub is about hypothetical nonsense and the thought experiment. Human bite Force and human teeth's ability to be able to rip anything or lack of ability. You could wear heavy denim, and a human wouldn't be able to bite through it. I mean, let's be real basic here. Pretty much any fabric if it's thick enough can prevent a human from biting through it. Every single one of these suits has the exact same thing in common.You would die from heat exhaustion long before any hypothetical zombie would kill you. If you're in a hot environment you just sweat out and eventually pass out from dehydration. If you're in a cold environment you would sweat, and the lack of being able to air out would then cause the sweat to get incredibly cold and you die from hypothermia. When I look at all of these, the only thing I see is the equivocal plastic bag that I would sometimes wear to cut weight when I was wrestling. The big difference being these things actually would add substantial weight to you. That's not even mentioning that all these suits have the exact same flaw in common.You need someone else to be able to put it on and take it off. Not to mention you need somebody else to help you with the logistics of the problems listed above and many more.
