Why don't people in zombie movies and shows fashion some form of chain mail? It doesn't make sense why they wouldn't try and protect themselves more with clothing.
Hell, even thick canvas or leather clothing would work well enough. I'ts fucking dumb and now it's difficult for me to watch any zombie movie.

that entire genre is retarded
You ever wear even a partial shirt of chainmaille? That shit is fucking HEAVY. I mean, I've made small pieces out of aluminum with a larger AR so there's less rings, but that seems to defeat the purpose of making something "bite" proof.
But also what
said
Do you know how to make and rivet chainmail? Because a majority of the population doesn't
Probably because retardation is what causes drama and sells in horror/action films. Imagine a horror movie where the couple is like "Hey you know what let's not fuck because it leaves us vulnerable to the killer!" or if the bad guy who caught the good guy was just like "Hey i'm just gonna shoot him instead of trying to overdramatize this shit"-end credits. Zombie movies is just one prime example of retarded movies.
Because if the people can't get bit then there is no conflict, aka no movie?
Because they can't cover every inch of themselves with chainmail, and, while biting is a serious danger, it's not the only danger presented by the undead.
A group in Walking dead wears hockey gear and rides on horses. The leader even has a tiger.
Because someone's gotta get bit, stupid
Do you have any fucking idea how long chainmail takes to make? You can't fashion that shit on the run. It is stupid that nobody seems to invest in leather. Leather and, surprisingly, denim are RETARDER effective against biting. Have you ever tried to bite through a pair of jeans? It's fucking impossible.
It's 99.99% of the danger
And you can cover most, if not all of your body.(gloves, boots, helmet)
Thick leather gloves with thick canvas pants/shirt it may not be perfect, but it makes you REALLLLY hard to kill.
Fair enough, but it can't be too hard to figure out.
I mentioned that.
>Have you ever tried to bite through a pair of jeans?
kek
you don't have to make riveted chain. Patternmail is easier without tools
is chainmail a kind of fetish
Chainmail takes time, equipment, materials, and specialist knowledge to make. It doesn't make sense that new sets of chainmail are being made after the zombie apocalypse. Also heavy, hot, noisy, the list goes on.
Now, I'd wanna grab an armored biker jacket. Back protection, some inserts in the elbows, and the leather is probably thick enough to protect you from a bite if you wear some padding under it. Also, where there is a bike jacket, there will be gloves, boots, and helmets. Probably pants too, but who knows if they'll protect your ass?
>Do you have any fucking idea how long chainmail takes to make?
>implying a zombie apocolypse would prompt immediate action, everywhere
>implying a nomad lifestyle is absolutely required
>implying there aren't museums or costume shops with the armor just lying around
Max Brooks talked about this.
I think it may be mine.
Mates have you seen the zombies in walking dead? Those faggots can probably rip through metal and they run like football players.
Human teeth would break on the steel.
chainmail is heavy but not hot or noisy. it also doesn't take much skill or specialized tools to make, but it is very time consuming
chainmail is noisy if you make fast hand movements or anything like that
That's why I'm buying this, this plus warhammer = stress free zombie apocalypse
What warhammer you play?
When they catch you, they catch you.
As soon as z get plural you're gonna get smothered, pulled apart.
Assuming they can't get you with vomit, fluids, etc, they're just going to snag you up until at best you die of exposure.
Single zombie, okay fair point. Shit is indeed heavy tho.
Even in full riot gear, Glenn's not wading thru a crowd of zombies. Dude's getting trampled
have you never heard of blunt or shear force?
they won't be able to bite you, no. and you'll be pretty safe from getting knived by looters.
but the threat of zombies is always in their numbers, and getting surrounded will still mean your death. this shit is in the ZSG.
I love how the crotch i chainmail while everything else is solid metal
i prefer zombie tits
1312484.igenapps.com
I follow Sigmar against the hordes of chaos
ZSG kek trash.
They do. I have a dvd with a bunch of b-movie flicks and like half way through the guy comes in with armor like a boss and goes medieval on some zombie ass while the plebs are dying.
ah ok, lizard people for me
ok this fucker said it better than me in
you son of a bitch. I got that walking dead reference in there tho, so ... fuck im a faggot i guess.
overall point still stands
Do you know how fucking long it takes to a chainmail vest?
Three words
>duct
>tape

Canada has nothing to fear
Three words.

Just go buy one from the blacksmith for 60 gold pieces
or you could just go full on suit of armour
what now zombitches?
Then just buy one.
there's nothing there to protect
Nice product placement Calvin
John carpenters vampires, they were smart enough.
>glorified fishnets
chainmail is incredibly shit
>Why don't people in zombie movies and shows fashion some form of chain mail?
It takes an INSANE amount of effort and time to make chain mail.
I'm not saying it's credible, I'm saying it's been considered.
Industrial coveralls friend.
Work gloves +coveralls +duct tape = bite proof.
Would kinda be a boring movie if there was no danger though right?
Personally that's why I can;t watch shows/movies with slow "hurdur magic dead come back to life" zombies. It's boring, and non-threatening.
28 days later is a terrifying prospect. Walking dead is a joke, anyone capable of moving at a brisk walking pace is fine.

The real question is how zombies survive more than a couple days. Zombies have no metabolic processes and don't consume water. They should turn into immobilized zombie jerky within a few days.
??? have YOU seen the walking dead?
Cuz those fuckwers are brittle as fuck and can barely move as fast as a slug with downsyndrome.
Wow really? Are you seriously asking that or are you just trolling?
you wear platemail over a set of chainmail you utterly historic newfag
wuuuuuuuut?
Chanmail is light, but noisy. That's the point.... it was a lightweight alternative to plate.
>It doesn't make sense why
It's a fucking zombie show. It's not supposed to make sense. Relax and enjoy.
Night King bruh
It's hard enough to eat fucking beef jerky so you make a good point
you dumb cunts do know they would swarm you, pile on top of you, and hold you down until you starve to death, yes?
perhaps they suck in nutriants from the ionosphere + ur mothers caved in cranium
In world war z ( the book you illiterate faggot) divers would wear shark suits which is pretty much modern day chain mail the problem was they would still get their bones broken and then be pulled under
holy trips are truth
Pretty sure that's magic
>Dead coming back to life
>Not magic
I'm trolling, but I would appreciate an answer. No movie or show ever explains how zombies survive years without proper nutrition or functioning metabolisms. They should logically become dried up husks with torn muscles in a couple days. A true zombie apocalypse would be impossible for this reason.
Magic.
Literally that's why. The slow moving "dead come back to life" zombies are literally just magic, and make 0 sense. Completely impossible.
That's why the walking dead and alike are boring as fuck and impossible to get into, I'm supposed to get invested in the realistic post apocalyptic world when the entire crux of the show is literally MAGIC.
it's a fucking retarded genre that requires you to suspend your disbelief
doesn't all film require you to suspend disbelief
you do know I'll just go fucking super sayain and then go beat off to manga right?
Exactly. Zombies can magically survive decomposition and all atmospheric effects. But stabbing them in the brain for some reason instantly kills them. That shit makes no sense.
Semantics.
Fafjvx
...
...
with the shark suit suggestion he could buy a flamethrower online for 300 dollars then you're really talking business
...
thats why my favorite zombie universe is The Last of Us, because its based off of the cordycepts virus, a totally real virus, and its actually possible for the virus to evolve and infect humans
>and its actually possible for the virus to evolve and infect humans
no way.
Olive!!!?
Finding real chainmail or SharkArmor is almost impossible.
Not everyone is a neckbeard and has some fake set of aluminum chain armor sitting around.
The fact that you need to be wary of other survivors plays a big role. Chainmail is loud, cumbersome and has no other factual usage.
If zombies that are portrayed like the old movies, they are slow, dumb and walk in numbers.
Walking around in actual steel chainmail would be heavy, around 25/30 pounds of real armor.
That's like carrying a rucksack on your back. It's too cumbersome to be practical.
Most people, civilians cannot carry more than 30 pounds on their bodies for long periods of time. It's a waste of energy as finding food would become increasingly difficult.
Plus the fact that the zombies can grab you down and jump on top of you. And try getting up in 30 pounds of gear with someone mauling you.
Not to mention the bite forces, you can break an arm and be completely fucked without a doctor.
Leather and other clothing works very well for this sort of thing. Leather is cheap, can be bought in bulk, easily fashioned and is lightweight and quiet(depending on the type and thickness).
I would probably have my plate carrier and some magazines rather than having chainmail. Maybe a small trail backpack with some medical and food supplies.
My Nagash is gonna fuck you up.
You too.
Cordyceps is a fucking fungus dipshit, you haven't even played that fucking game or you're top autistic to notice how the "zombies" have fucking fungus on their faces
Kek, very true. Either way you would have to adapt. But i think in any situation of a zombie outbreak at least a little bit of protection should be mandatory. I mean how many ppl get like stupid bites from one zombie in their arm or something? I dont even think they would be able to bite through a normal leather jacket. But do you think that zombies would be like 28 days ir walking dead? On one hand they are brain dead and have very little brain power on the other they have a virus and are hungry. Or maby like left 4 dead where they get powers based on what kind of person they were
yea, its a fungus that takes over the host and eventally kills it, but its DNA is so unstable that mutations happen often, and it has evolved from only affecting certain species of ants in africa, to infecting dozens of types of arachnids and insects in africa and asia
pic related, spider affected by the fungus
So the survivors of the ZA will be Renaissance Fair nerds. So humanity is doomed anyway; they can't reproduce.
Also that ginger looks like she's tethered to the sun.
see
and if you played the game they referenced it as a virus, you fucking knob.
>implying a fungus can control and take over a human mind without making them a potato.
You're better off taking bath salts.
i said it was possible for it to evolve and infect, not control
besides, if it DID infect, making the person a potato would make them much more like a zombie yes?
You must have had a stroke during the game, there's numerous sequences where you must wear masks to avoid the SPORES from the fungus
Anyone who mentions it's a virus is certainly from a character standpoint of someone who's not fully informed of what happened, which is not your case, unless the game was so clear about it being a fungus that you were blinded by it
> In Washington DC on the way to work
> News says horde outbreak
> Fuck that still going to work
> Make way through hordes to get to Smithsonian in the middle of the night
> Get to medieval display
> See Lionhart
> Dude won't stop fucking moving and shit give me your fucking chain-mail
mp shit its from a character standpoint, and i know its a fungus, stop being a fucking sperglord and making a big deal out of a different word used to represent a disease in a game
stuff of nightmares
you're both wrong
it's a nutritional supplement
yeah, if you're the kind of faggot whose life is so easy he has nightmares about spiders and mushrooms
asia and pharmaceutical companies use the fungus as food and medicine... but apparently the fungus tastes good when cooked
there are also cases of it mutating and taking over peoples old cum rags
...
Fuck spiders.
huh, that doesnt really look like the fungus, but ill take your word for it
horrifying
But would that make them want to go after an eat humans? No.
Most parasites live off of the host, or have a mutual benefit with a host,
A fungus can evolve, but not less than a few hundred years.
It would most likely not be a fungus that would be a factor in creating something that can control a human mind.
There are probably plenty of chemicals that can effect the mind causing hysteria.
A more dangerous thing would be a deranged person with a gun killing everything it can.
