Completely impossible? No way to be sure[/QUOTE]It's essentially as likely as farting out a whole unicorn if we're talking about the risen-again shambler types. Angry fast foaming-at-the-mouth types are the only kind that approach the realm of possibility, really.

Okay so what we need is a massive drug that make people extremly agressive/bloodlusty and that shuts off parts of the mind vital to rational thinking, and the effect must last over atleast 24+ hours.
Hey guys there's no landmines at all in this field but just in case you ever come across a landmine field let's review some landmine spotting training shall we.
I mean this only works cause we replaced the word landmine with zombies, and zombies have a really broad meaning nowadays, but still.
Edit: I'm not saying I think there's zombies.
Perhaps if it was a drug that was put into some common food product?
thats cool, hope its put into practice in the UK too
Rabid dogs attack other rabid dogs, that's why you never hear about rabid dog packs.
Zombies wouldn't be any different, unless it isn't rabies, even though rabies looks like what it's going to be.
Wasn't there an article someone posted awhile back about how a zombie apocalypse is impossible, because bites are the worst way to spread a disease, and could therefore be controlled easily?
yeah, the only way something like this could actually work is if it became airborne, or perhaps was laced into food or medicine supply. Kind of like on "Supernatural" where the Leviathans laced Fructose Corn Syrup with a chemical that made people that ingested it act sluggish and stupid, that might actually work.
I'm sure a lot, if not all, of what is covered in this "Zombie Training" can be applied to much more likely situations.
Besides, it is really that far fetched for a zombie apocalypse like situation to happen? No so much where dead bodies reanimate themselves, rather where there's some sort of infection (likely manmade) that shuts down parts of the human mind, or otherwise alters an average person's thought patterns.
[QUOTE=FreyasFighter;37700885]We'd better do our training to be sure. Such as playing Left For Dead, Killing Floor, Resident Evil... :v:[/QUOTE]
Right.

People have been revived post mortem, granted not long periods of time pass but what if a some disease shuts down the thinking part of our mind and we resort to primitive instincts? Not zombies but raving attacking shit without thinking part of them.

I'm talking the kind of dead where you've essentially bled out entirely, or are missing organs or limbs. At the very least, the human body cannot function properly, even a shamble, without blood supplying tissue with nutrients and oxygen. And already mentioned the italicised part is the more likely scenario, if still unlikely considering the complexity of the human brain; it's far more likely that such a disease would simply render the person a brain-damaged vegetable rather than striking higher-level thought functions with precision.

My grandma has technically died twice, once during surgery, and once at my house. She's still alive and kickin'!

[QUOTE=Mr. Rolenys;37700672]Come on, this is being taken too far. Zombie apocalypse is just a fantasy, nothing like could happen in reality.[/QUOTE]
The actual cause behind the disease outbreak is irrelevant for training purposes. The firm likely selected zombies as the background simply to make what is otherwise probably fairly boring training into something more amusing.
Fair enough.

Wouldn't bet on it.
This sort of training is probably useful for general awareness too. I often think that being able to quickly identify exit-points of buildings and thinking of where the zombies could come from is probably great training for most combat situations. More fun too.

What about the gorge A remero type.
Where the virus is airborne and you come back no matter what, unless the brain is destroyed.
