If that were so, they'd go nuts if they ran up on a team whose weapons had underslung laser pointers....LOL
You could ostensibly get them to tear eachother apart just by shining the beams on'm. That should be in a game.

Oh Man, Someone make a Left 4 Dead mod Pronto!
but just with the classic slow ambling zombies, hours of fun!
This thread has a decided flavor of excellence, (albeit slightly deviant from traditional medieval armor) but what would you do if the Zombie Apocalypse took you by surprise? I would be hunting down the nearest ex biker zombie for some motorcycle leathers, and maybe over time put together a chain hauberk, what else would you guys salvage for armor?

Those thick plastic pickle barrels...I'm thinking you could use a pair of garden shears to...nevermind, that'd take too long.
Wasn't the steel plies from radial tires used as armor in a movie? Was it Mad Max? Or that Arthur-meets-bikerdom flick starring Ed Harris?
I'd look for a hideaway spot first so I could think this through. LOL

Haha! +1 love it,
Okay, Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phillip, (Sorry Phillip), grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?
As far as salvage armor i just remembered Steel cap work boots you won't be allowed in any decent pubs but you could kick some zombie teeth in right good!

What self respecting zombie would have the remaining motor skills for such a precise attack! I am sure they have something about goggles in the zombie survival guide.

Sean of the Dead is not only the best spoof of a horror movie ever, but it's also, probably the most accurate for what would happen in any zombie outbreak, should one actually happen...

Sean of the dead, would have been far better if they had cut the last half hour out of it. lets face it, its basicaly an extended episod of spaced. Spaced was one of the best sitcoms but it worked in half hour episodes. trying to take that format and extend it to a film did not realy work

Shaun* of the Dead was a great film..though the shortage of blades and firearms was a mistake in my opinion...Simon pegg should quit messing around and do a sequel..tho i did like How to lose friends and Alienate People..

Nothing at all.
No armor is going to be effective against a zombie simply because if you need it, its already too late. If you are being mobbed, nothing short of a force-field will save your ass because you WILL eventually tire out and even if you have FULL plate, they will eventually get under it. Even if you do have a suit of armor that the zombies cant penetrate, what do you actually do when you get mobbed? Chances are the suit will be so bulky you cant move fast so you cant outrun them and you cant fight them off forever.
Chainmail seems good in theory but just remember that while they may not be able to bite your actual skin, getting it compressed between layers of steel rings can still do a lot of damage. Try giving yourself a good hard pinch while wearing it and keep in mind that the human jaw can exert upwards of 500 lbs of force. On top of that, the stuff is LOUD, which is reason enough to ditch it.
Armor provides a beautiful hand-hold for a zombie to grab and pull you in with, it slows you down, tires you out, restricts your movement, often makes noise, and doesn't actually give you that much protection against a horde of determined zombies.
With zombies, one of their great weakness is their rigidity and lack of dexterity or speed. Dont take one of your winning hands and start chucking cards out for the illusion of safety. Agility and speed are far better for dealing with zombies than any armor.

Like someone said at the beginning of the thread, actual Motorcycle leathers. Not very encumbering. Not noisy. Tough enough to keep their teeth off you for a second if you get attacked by a zombie hiding in a corner...
