Anti-zombie vehicles, issues and possible solutions.

The big problem will always be the finite amount of resources available post-Z apoc. You will run out of gas and bullets, food, medicine, water, people, hope.

Granted you were able to make a stand and put together some mechanically inclined folks that could build a truck similar to the one in Land of the Dead, the Dead Reckoning, it is still going to run into the problem of finite resources. You can only have so much space for fuel, food and other essentials not to mention the crew.

Ok, so you build your ultimate anti-zombie truck. Not one Z can get it, it lumbers at top speeds of 30 possibly 40 miles per hour. You bring extra fuel and load it inside, you're loaded for bear with all manner of ammo and guns and cleaning/repairing equipment. You go to the outskirts of a city and then boom, you kill your first Z. A few start to pour in then a few hundred then a few thousand. The next thing you know you're wading up to your eyeballs in Zack and you've run out of ammo, what then?

You're armored, you're protected, they can't possibly topple your rig and they can't get in. Are you now fated to suffer the doom of the sardine in the tin can (ooops who brought the can opener? No one?). Would it be possible to mount some sort of external weapon that you can use to knock Zack heads while controlling the weapon from inside? Or have slits on the sides where you can employ a very long, weighted pole with a wicked blade on the end that you can lift up and let the weight crash down on Zack's head? Or possibly your rig is so high up that you can open up a hatch and start knocking heads from the top of your truck (ensuring of course that they don't have the chance to ramp up over each other). How long would it take do you think? Would you be up to such monotonous and no doubt tiresome work to rid a city or small area of thousands, possibly millions of Zack? Will 50 of these work vs 1M Z? Thoughts?

Do you find this valuable?

Okay, I like your idea of a rig similar to that of the Land of The Dead. But this vehicle has a few minor issues with its design. The utilization of tires as a tool for propulsion is an obvious flaw. Tires are organic, thus they do not last forever and are not suitable for use in this type of weapon. The better option would be the well know tank our caterpillar track. It would be best if the tracks consisted of stainless non-corroding steel, titanium, depleted uranium, and composite materials used in the hull of the American M1-Abrams tank. It would last longer and be more effective at "obliterating" the bodies of the infected. Another advantage would be that it does not pop or tear easily when crossing over sharp and dangerous objects.

Next, you would have to give it a hull and chassis capable of taking on duties other then the elimination of the infected. It would have to have applications in: modern warfare, fear tactics, destruction of civil unrest, crowd and riot control, and the enforcement of martial law. I would suggest a shape and design similar to the underside of a German military kubelwagon and an exterior like that of a German A7V. The underside would be flat and streamlined as to reduce friction while passing through mud, sand, snow, ruble, and the remains of former human beings. This is what made the kubelwagon so successful. This vehicle would be at least 2 1/2 to 3 times longer then the original A7V. It would have an 88mm gun on the front capable of 186 degrees to turn horizontally, and be able to go from -20 degrees down to about 25-30 degrees upward. There would be 8 tri-six pound guns guns on the side with approximately 90-100 degrees of turn area with the ability to go from -20 degrees down to +40 degrees. Then there would be ten 50. cal browning machine guns. Then there would be small slits in which the occupents could shot through or make observations. More info on next response.

Like thibeault and Nosfera2 said, yes gas is unlimited. You could work on a battery powered car, but those are utterly useless in most scenarios. The best thing to do is to use vehicles ONLY in an important scenario such as a survivor rescue or an escape. Just find a place to camp and dont try to take your vehicle for a ride if your destination is a few metres away. Besides, walking is healthier. :D

I would probably pick a White Van, just because one, you got plenty of space in the back, two, it is pretty rugged, three, it can take a beating, and finally the type of vehicle that cant be stopped.
