Are those Israeli troops in a couple of screenshots? Spartan198 (talk) 18:19, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Judging from the equipment, they certainly looks like IDF soldiers. I guess they are using Minimi to stand in for the Negev.--Wildcards (talk) 18:28, 9 November 2012 (EST)

They are Israeli troops. In the book Israel is mentioned as being one of the "success stories" of the Zombie pandemic in their efforts to curtail the spread of the "disease". --Charon68 (talk) 19:22, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Cuba is, too. Following the war, IIRC, they emerge as the world's largest economic superpower. Spartan198 (talk) 20:01, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Lets not forget India; where a general named Raj-Singh was defending a evac point using 18th-Century infantry tactics. He refused to fall back even when him and his men were out of ammo, one of his men had to knock him out and drag into a helicopter in order to get him to New Gandhi Park evac.Mr.Ice (talk) 21:14, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Then there's the battle of Yonkers where the military was making a show of their modern advanced technology and tactics for the media and it back fired on them Excalibur01 (talk) 21:53, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Then there is the old Japanese gardener who teams with a computer nerd to fight there way out of an overrun Tokyo(?) using a Kantana from the gardener's days in the IJA. Oh and did I mention that the gardener was blinded by the atomic bombs? Mr.Ice (talk) 21:56, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Too bad none of those stories will make their way into this movie...I'm guessing that the Philadelphia by way of Glasgow scenes will be the equivalent of the Battle of Yonkers, but other than that it will probably be Brad Pitt as the hero who single-handedly brings survivors together to save the world. --Markit (talk) 22:17, 9 November 2012 (EST)

You never know Markit. Also is anyone else going to add a story cause Im actually finding it kinda fun.Mr.Ice (talk) 22:28, 9 November 2012 (EST)

As an animal, the human race as a whole is pretty weak. We have no fur for warm, we have problems regulating heat, we have no claws or sharp teeth and we are not very fast and even the strongest of us are hardly as strong as say a bear or lion. We require tools to fight and hunt. Now a good healthy body is good but it is only part. That aside, the zombies, even rage zombies are only as strong as the body that is infected. and realistically a lot of us aren't in that good of shape even if some of us have military/paramilitary training. We're talking about us turning into near well mindless zombies but in this case, more like crazed idiots. So really, I highly doubt even a hundred random people on the streets running at full speed and piling on each other have enough strength to topple a bus like that in one go and climb over it. Even rampaging mobs over a soccer game don't pour into streets like they are the living blob. Excalibur01 (talk) 20:35, 9 November 2012 (EST)

The only thing I wish I could see in this is the semi-auto rifle the US military ends up using when they go on the counter-offensive against the Zs. In the book it's described as 5.56 in calibre with interchangeable barrels and wooden furniture and would never jam. --Charon68 (talk) 23:45, 9 November 2012 (EST)

Which shows how little Max Brooks knows about guns because any firearm will jam, no matter how durable and reliable it's touted as. Spartan198 (talk) 00:00, 10 November 2012 (EST)

Well I don't know if you've ever seen the abomination that is "Sons of Guns" but when *gag* Red Jacket *gag* designed the "ultimate zombie gun" Brooks chose a bullpup .22 with a 'printed' frame over an M-16 type weapon. --Charon68 (talk) 00:24, 10 November 2012 (EST)

So according to him a .22 is good enough to kill a zombie because all you need is head shots when before, he thought an AK like weapons is better, in fact, he encourages us to use melee weapons for up close and personal fights rather than longer ranged weapons like spears Excalibur01 (talk) 00:48, 10 November 2012 (EST)

Oh, and I went ahead an organized some of these screencaps on the main page. The only one I couldn't ID was the one Brad Pitt is using in the final screencap, which doesn't show the receiver area. Spartan198 (talk) 00:02, 10 November 2012 (EST)

There are some more shots in the trailer. I'll screencap them.Mr.Ice (talk) 00:05, 10 November 2012 (EST)

Added another shot of Pitt's rifle. Any ideas? Spartan198 (talk) 00:18, 10 November 2012 (EST)
