Welcome to Gaia! ::

I like shotguns, but mass destruction and devastating crowd control is much more fun. And the handguns are more for the aesthetics, really. Small, but incredibly effective and depending on what one has quite the intimidation factor. Like a Colt or a Dessert Eagle.

Or at least I'd try to be one. As I said, I don't think I can be trusted with that kind of power.

It's even more entertaining when you have upgraded a weapon to hold more shots before reloading. It's a six shooter, but I can fire 8 times before reload. They never see those last two shots coming.

Well, that's all fine and good for preventing each other from gaining complete control, but what about if all 3 of them are in cahoots?
3 medium sized tigers are no less difficult that 1 extra large one.

Punching holes in unlucky souls since the whenever that was.

You don't, but that's why it's a majority rule. You don't have to get everyone's approval, just most of them. And unfortunately, most people can be easily swayed by bribery.

In a zombie apocalypse..Primarily, I'd want a blunt force/bladed Melee weapon since ammunition would be an issue, plus the sound. Secondary would need to be something for crowd control and I'd definitely have to have a handgun for backup, since it's a good backup.

That's when you either make the first move to remove them from the picture before they can become a threat, do everything in your power to prevent such a person from ever happening, or have more than just money on your side. (It never hurts to have some sort of threat up your sleeve. Between dirt on your subordinates and something to end them if they cross you. If money doesn't work, there's still nothing to worry about.)

Hmm...now that you mention it, a ranged weapon would be a nice thing to have.
I use to think shotguns were a must have, but after seeing some of the zombie movies/shows I have, it seems a little too risky for my taste. But yeah, blades are definitely a must.

That's why I firmly believe that I cannot be trusted with that kind of power...though if I did obtain said power, I could guarantee world peace through my rule, lest any/everyone risk having secrets and vital information leaked which could lead to utter annihilation.

Names escape me at the moment, but a lot of them were on Sci-Fi. The one that I found most influential, the zombies in it could only be killed by destroying/severing the heads and unfortunately no one seemed to comprehend that even if the shotgun did punch giant holes in them, they were still alive...so to speak.

Yeah, I guess that would be the case.

True, but in most situations, how many people are going to actually think that?
Not to mention most trained police forces are taught to aim for the heart, not the head, since it's an easier target and even if you miss you'll still probably hit something.

True, but if I'm anything like Doom I'll probably have some sort of plan to deal with each of them. (seriously, he always seems to have a plan for everything)
