Weapons for Urban warfare
Jul 20 2008, 3:12 PM EDT
Just wondering, what would you use to clear a city? I would have 3 different sections with 3 different sets of weapons. for clearing streets, buildings with small floor area (skyscraper, offices), and large structures (malls, aparments, Wal-Mart [post-smily here!]) For street clearing, i would rely on assault rifles and rilfes, getting on top of the assorted vehicles in the city. For clearing small floor area structures, i would use shotguns and pistols (either .357 magnum or .45 pistol) so that if a survivor is hostile, you still have the firepower to take them down, especially if they are wearing body armor or something heavier to avoid bites and bullets. For large structures, i would use SMG's and decent rifles (not assault rifles) for more distanced fighting (like up a floor or across a balconey. All the squads would have .357's or .45's for the stopping power against survivors (if hostile), and the fact that if you're using your pistol because you have no primary bullets left, then your pretty much screwed. If possible, i would also use helicopters to evacuate survivors, men, and supplies, or provide reinforcements.

You would need shotguns, carbines, and plenty of support.

"You would need shotguns, carbines, and plenty of support."well honestly i would not use a shotgun because to kill a Z you need to get a clear hed shot and the only way you can only get a head shot like this : http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r67/kradaz/shotau1.jpg is if you in fact shove the shotgun into your Z's mouth and fire. Carbines are a very good choice and make sure you have a silencer on all your weapons ( note) just to make sure you don't attract any attention. and support wise do it like they did in Extinction get people in buses and tanks and shit and make sure that when you are scouting you stay in groups of 6 to 10. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Not only would a direct offensive move require massive amounts of resources(people,munitions,and other gear)...you would have to incorporate massive amounts of coordination and communication...without it you'd end up with friendly fire casualties, scattering of resources,lost or confused personnel...you'd have to break down into 4-man teams each with radios and a variety of weapons and munitions and the knowledge to use them...every structure infiltrated would require a sniper team overwatch and a security team overwatching them...all recon and intelligence would have to be reported to a central source,logged,and translated to a useful real-time state and then sent to central command where it can be incorporated into directives and countermeasures and then relayed back to the appropriate team for tactical use...it sounds easy,but in a shit storm with inexperienced soldiers,lightening fast situational shifts,and without a good central control would be a suicide mission reguardless of how good your weapons are or how fast you could resupply ammo.

Clearing a city would require well trained and equipped personnel. If they are well trained and equipped, this question is not needed. If they are not well trained, it is suicide. Make that a very large, well trained, and equipped army. Better question would be why are you trying to clear a city? You could make quick strikes for needed supplies. You could lure the zombies out to you, hit them at your place of choice not random locations. Do you find this valuable? |

"Clearing a city would require well trained and equipped personnel. If they are well trained and equipped, this question is not needed. If they are not well trained, it is suicide. Make that a very large, well trained, and equipped army.It wouldn't take that many troops to clear some cities, but alot of supplies. An the main reason would be to take the ground an kill the zombies. I say a batt size to take atlanta would be about right. But prep before an the time during would be long.

Baiting would work well, but atlanta is a huge fucking city the city alone is 132 sq miles even with 1500 men it would take at least a week. Do you find this valuable? |

"I think that would depend on what sort of tactics work.

An I think longer then a week to secure it. first Atlanta has a major bypass an with most bypasses it is mostly walled. except at the over passes, around the airport an various spots. Secure them by truck trailers (that have improvised skirts) conex's, sections jersey barriers whatever have you. leave openings in the form of porticle's to allow passage into an out of the city. Now you would have secured gated communities an dc's up to the city to use as f.a.r.p.s an construction point since you'll need to mod equiptment IE, dump trucks, snow plows, an various vehicles to clear the streets of abandoned vehicles an zombies. then it will get nasty. because I plan on waste lives by storming building in the old stack on the door, frag outrush the fatal funnel way either. also I won't take the city once the threat was contained with in it, too many other cities to quarentine an small town to clean out before then.
