Fear The Walking Dead S1E6: Walkers Invade The Military Base

Always loved this scene it's awesome to see the military to go up against zombies well they don't call them that.

[@HELLFIRE0239]

I don't get the incompetence of this scene. Those both soldiers would have been enough to kill all 2,000 zombies since they are so slow and after a while their bodies would create a barricade. You can see the writers got lazy and set their accuracy to "Stormtrooper" literally shooting at the ground. Also the military would have placed scouts and snipers to see incoming hordes or gangsters from a far. Not to mention, that they build a base behind a huge corner lol. We also have seen the military use grenades before in the library and they had tanks, why is no one using anything?

[@TA9ON-_-]

I know I love and hate this scene it had no logic and I agree with what ur saying maybe one day we'll get a better scenario like this one but with no lazy writing

[@user-ft8wz3el5k]

keep in mind, this is not based on our universe, theres no zombie fiction, so no one would really know what to do in the start of the apocalypse, also, as moyers said, most of the soldiers arent really trained, they just went on duty because of the zombies, realisticly, throwing a frag grenade at the zombies wouldnt be the best idea, considering the only "cover" they have is a large fence with holes, the shrapnel would be really dangerous

[@HELLFIRE0239]

@@user-ft8wz3el5k They dont have to throw the grenade right in front of the gate. I agree on that duty part tho, probably many were panicking/stressed when they saw thousands of undead which made them miss every bullet

[@user-ft8wz3el5k]

@@HELLFIRE0239 i think that they probably landed most of the bullets fired, but just not in the head, the watchtower soldiers had an assault rifle and a light machine gun, not the most accurate weapons considering the panic of the situation

[@unusualusername8847]

In the actual comic series, The Walking Dead military didnt fall to the walkers. It actually disbanded as most of the troops available ended up abandoning their posts to save their friends and family. This caused immediate supply issues as entire lines of supplies fell and only worsened the desertion issue. The Governors people for example got most of the stuff from a abandoned supply depot. One that was presumably meant to supply Atlanta. The telltale series set in the same universe mentions a army base being abandoned save for infected and one survivor named Mark who was surviving off the commissary food.

Pretty much the same thing that happens in the old Romero films, too. Law enforcement completely fell apart because too many people took their guns and ran.

[@Ratstranger]

In Walking Dead everyone is infected and reanimates after death, making incredibly difficult to cointain infection by normal means. You put up a blockade, but one guy in your rear gets heart attack or appendicitis, reanimates and wreak havoc, killing others and raising them as well, so you have to pull out troops to kill them. If you have a lot of people, threse incidents can spring all the time, making dents in your organisation untill it collapses entirely. Small groups at least can monitor their own constantly.

Any pockets that fall all become walkers, and in a city full of high rise buildings that rapidly becomes thousands or tens of thousands. Utilities break down, logistics fail, and just like in TWD soldiers begin to desert to protect their families because the problem is -everywhere-. It wouldn't take decades to overrun a country - the zombies appeared in every single village, town and city at the same time. Also look at the scenario in FTWD. They put all the civilians in that stadium because nobody was bitten. Fine. One person dies, bites someone else, and suddenly you have a horde.

[@condeaarondarkusexcubitor3155]

Even if there isn't knowledge about zombies in this universe, heck, you can see one of the soldiers in the watch tower lands some hits on the head of some of the undead, effectively killing them. How much intelligence is required to understand that "if bullets to the center of the mass don´t kill them them try to aim to the head". It would be logical to assume as a last chance that the head should be the only organ which the undead cannot dispense with. Destroy the head and there is no possible way for the body to still be working. The brain connects all the neural and motor functions of the body, without it there is no possibility of continuing with their attacks. Also......are we supposed to believe that trained troopers from the United States are going to fail so many shoots again slow monsters and lose their accuracy by shooting to the fence instead of the head?. The zombies heads are big enough when they accumulate in the fence and also the fence holes are big enough for a bullet to trespass them. PD: They also should have created a more robust barricade, made of concrete, for example. I know this is a TV show and everything but even if it is fiction this is hardly believable. In fact is hard to believe that slow zombies even in masses in open areas could terminate humanity. With fast ones I could see it but with the classical slow ones..............

[@agelessrebellion8271]

1. military is trained to aim for center mass, they wouldnt discard that training hammered into them at a whim. 2. the closer a threat is, the higher the stress level, the higher the stress the less reliable the aim. now take this cause of multiple hostiles advancing on your position, the shots you see landing dont make them fall. you see the hoard behind them, you hear the hoard behind that.

[@TheAnnoyedHumanist]

@@agelessrebellion8271 okay so I was just in the Army, infantry to be specific, and I'm telling you right now that if myself or other people I know from my old unit filled up someone's body with shots and they don't go down you best believe I'm going for their head Also yea sure that would be intimidating for the horde to be that close but considering the soldiers were about 10 feet away from the fence at most it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel, the fence only gave way due to them not being able to kill enough in time and having shit aim, not to mention how the zombies bodies would just start piling up in front of the fence and they'd have to start walking over top the piles Not that they should even get that close to begin with considering the soldier with the M60 in the construction lift (Which is incorrect because the US Army hasn't used that weapons platform since the 80s, it's the M240 now) would be able to easily take down most of the horde in front until he has to reload, which even then it won't be a problem because of the aforementioned easiness with shooting the ones that manage to get up close to the fence the reason the military trains to shoot at center mass is not because they're more effective than headshots, but because most engagements are going to be medium to long range, when we went to the range our targets were at least 25m out to 300m, hitting someone's head from even just 25m is hard because of how small it is especially if they're moving, even with Acogs which are the zoomed in versions of sights used on M4s currently, which also most soldiers in my unit only had CCOs (Close combat optics) with a red dot The biggest problem that could potentially happen is the soldiers simply run out of ammunition due to the sheer amount of undead they're facing, but also by the time that would happen reinforcements would almost certainly arrive to back them up, also with all conversations people have on this topic they assume only ground personnel and vehicles would engage the walkers, and not something such as an AC130 or Apache, which would absolutely tear through a horde with missiles and howitzer cannons, also unlike the ground units the undead have no hope of ever reaching them

[@agelessrebellion8271]

​@@TheAnnoyedHumanist 1. never said that center mass shots were more effective. 2. its common knowledge as to why police, soldiers are trained to aim for center mass. heres the problem with using any sort of air support, tanks, ect. those rockets can tear up the body for sure. might even vaporize a few dozen. but unless the brain is completely severed (at least going by the walk dead survival guide as reference) then that zombie will still be a threat because it can still bite. so yeah, you can blow bits off, cut them in half or completely shred the body. but how many thousand rounds would you pour into a hoard of undead to immobilize them? not every round will be a headshot. so you can sit in that airplane.....waste a few thousand rounds and maybe cut a hoard of 10k down to 8k or at best 6k. but at the end of the day you wasted a lot of ammo during a time where there might not be a way to resupply. on top of that you are assuming the world would carry on as is. you get support when requested, plenty of resupply, plenty of ammo and every soldier mans their post instead of saying "fuck you, im protecting my wife and kids first, country second". in all likelihood none of that would happen. global panic, unrest, military assists pulled from defense to try and control the population while crime would spiral out of control...at some point you would get armed conflict between the criminals and those sent to maintain order. then you got those pulled away to insure the safety of the officials, bases ect. there would be a break down of society-if it got bad enough, no one would be manning the depos to get you more ammo-because guess what? its john public that manufactures and ships the shit. so if no one is working the factories, no one is working the shipping then nothing is getting out of port or warehouse. so you aint got a way to restock fuel reserves, or ammo reserves. you might not have reliable reinforcement either due to location or availability. you are right about one thing, the dead cant reach airsupport....but at some point that air support has to come back down. now lets put a number to all this....since you say you are in the military and got all this education- how long can the US military hold out at..lets be nice and say be 80% combat effective for all branches, nationwide. (taking out deserters and those lost from firefights with armed criminals) now, lets say everything else is equal...how long can the military hold out against 50 million undead countrymen? 100 million? the current total US military is less then 5 million strong. so how well do you think you guys would hold up against those odds? how quickly would you burn through ammo and fuel?

[@agelessrebellion8271]

@@imgvillasrc1608 problem with assault rifles is dumbasses going full auto...which does nothing but make noise and waste ammo when the only kill shot, is a clean headshot. and as i may have mentioned before, you got a crowd of undead and your sitting behind an MG. yeah you go right on ahead and hold down that trigger. no trigger discipline means you waste more ammo then the dumbass with a assault rifle. but what people dont realize is even if you dont do that, people are different heights...so training that MG at one undead head level and sweeping over a crowd might kill a fourth of them if you are lucky...meanwhile you are overshooting shorter targets and undershooting taller ones. plus MGs are for suppression...thats their function. not quite the same as an assault rifle. Zulus are living people which means any vital organ hit can mean a kill....the undead dont give a shit unless the brain is turned to mush or the brainstem is blown out the back of the head. all other hits will only serve to cripple a zombie IF they even do that much. and as i said in my other comment. anything in the air has to come down sooner or later. and with no one running the factories, good luck getting any resupply for fuel.

I question why the military had built a very weak barbed wire fence and not a strong fence such as the commonwealth's gate, the military should know that fences like the one they used here are very weak, I mean sure the walkers shouldn't have been able to overcome that one but I'm assuming from sheer force of them pushing each other against the fence that they were able to break it.
