God I love World War Z. This makes me want Lobos and the SIR and blue uniform. While the battle of Hope in the book would be kinda boring (literally shooting in line formation for god knows how long) the later urban retaking of cities would be really interesting, or the catacombs in france. Great job on this Liru!
Having grown up and seeing a lot of combat footage since I first read WWZ as a kid a while ago, it now seems really ridiculous the idea that soldiers wouldn't be able to take on hordes of zombies even if they were still going for primarily bodyshots. 5.56 out of a saw and 7.62 NATO would absolutely shred the majority of any zombie horde literally in half, the only reason you don't see that happen to most humans is that people tend to drop after taking a bullet or two. If a horde of zombies just walked slowly towards a firing line of Marines you can bet your ass they'd all end up literally cut in half by the hail of gunfire and then subsequently all shot in the head.
So you can't tell it from my POV but each rifleman had 2 boxes for the m249 and a squad organized and kept linking belts because I have overheating off so the weapon never jammed and they pumped like 200+ rounds through the damn thing, which resulted in the mg gunner getting around 200+ kills because they just say the theory'd and kept the gun at headshot level. It was nuts
Yep, but thats the big thing that's *now* with the added context of zombies and the world not threatening to blow itself up (Again). What I love so much about Yonkers was that it was *supposed* to be a media stunt. The horde in NYC was 22 million in total and everyone was acting chill about that, the brass supplied them with Cold-war era tech, using human fighting tactics such as digging trenches, giving the soldiers Bulky BDU-like suits that made it harder to aim, they were also under supplied in ammo for all forms of weaponry, no soldiers on the rooftops, and the worst part about all this was the soldiers knew they were fucked the moment they saw anti-air equipment about to be used against a horde. Add to that the fact that they were being constantly demoralized from the amount of screaming from their friends due to the patriot comms system, the fact that this happened after the great panic, and just so many factors. It was what cemented the book as one of my favorites.
It's not so much the damage output, it's the logistics of keeping the ammo supplied. If they just keep coming and using up all your ammunition, and the same is being done to nearly every position and your supplies while en-route.. Not to mention the weapon breakdowns and heating. No ammo, No replacement Parts, No Food, No Fuel, No fight.
My only caveat would be that irl it’s not easy to shoot moving targets for hours, and the assumption is that zombies will always come at you in a tightly packed mob from one direction across open space. It would be much different if they’re coming from different directions and around corners. Also just mobilizing troops to actually be in a combat posture would be difficult without a front line
Still of the opinion that they need to make a band of brothers style mini series of the book of WWZ! Just take the book and make it a series! The movie wasn't bad but it was not WWz is the 28 days later with Brad pit.
My main question is how did you even manage to run this, i did a halloween op with webknights and it ended up crashing the server from script related memory leaks

I just finished the Audio Book yesterday. Bro, get out of my walls.
I'm not in your walls, but in your balls.

@@Ryan15T with competent military/police response it would never reach that level. an infection that spreads through bites is easy to avoid

God, I love world war z. Incredible book. Good video Liru.
6:08 Spontaneous Cruise missile? More likely than you think.
Yonkers is practically one big hill.

0:38 Wow, those cameras journalists got looking sick! The quality of videos must be mindblowing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
My main question is how did you even manage to run this, i did a halloween op with webknights and it ended up crashing the server from script related memory leaks
I used Ryan's zombies and demons. But I've used webknights for larger events. The trick is to turn off all the script heavy stuff in the settings
Wait, so your telling me your gonna post a video that’s so old it came straight out of a pyramid but then, post a video that only came out! Why!
