Okay, now the fun part... Explanation.
I did some extensive weapons research, as well as carefully picking and choosing what I'd really need, versus what I'd really like. I initially started this with the intention of fun, but it soon turned into so much more than that. I think I'm actually going to print this out and keep it with me, just in case...
Anyways...the headwear, gloves, and boots were chosen because of both protective qualities and to serve as a barrier for blood-to-skin contact. I don't want to become another one of the zombies, just because I left something of my body exposed when I hack/shoot them dead and get blood splattered... Also, in regards to the inventory stuff...if it really came down to it, I'd swap out the digital camera for some sort of lighter or equivalent tools. A fire can be more useful than documenting information, sometimes...
The weapons...were a bit tricky, but all in all, I chose what I chose because of these reasons: the M82A1 was one of my choices for a sniper rifle due to its very long range capabilities; the H&K Tactical USP was chosen because I can actually use something of that size and weight, and its got some nice stopping power (especially with hollow point rounds); the baseball bat itself is made from Cold Steel, and is reputed as being "indestructable" and "easy-maintenance"; the machete is always nice when blunt force just isn't "cutting it", AND it can be used to cut through vegetation, etc; the crowbar is an essential tool in these situations, in my opinion...
The vehicle was chosen because...well, its big enough to fit several "slayin' buddies" in it, and/or a large quantity of provisions. Plus, with the overall armor and bulletproof glass, its highly unlikely any zombies can get in unless I decide to let 'em in...and you know THAT isn't gonna happen! XD
The stronghold was really fun to search for, and research. This place really exists, and its pretty impressive overall, when you think about it. Seriously, why don't more people think of taking refuge in a place IN THE FREAKIN' SEA!? =3
And let's not forget my partner in slaying, and much more... I couldn't go on without her. Besides, we basically agreed that we'd be a tag team during a zombie apocalypse anyways. Moreso than just for fun. Hell, we'd kick more arse than Rios and Salem!
A big thank you goes out to the person who originally started this, and also to my buddy
Fox_Forrester for having this in his gallery for my viewing. Also, just as a heads-up...just because I didn't put you on the sheet, Hikari, doesn't mean you couldn't still team up with me. XD

That's the intention. I REALLY thought about a lot of this stuff, and did some research on various weapons (including performance, recoil issues, and stopping power). Most of this, I could actually procure on my own. For the rest...well, there's a naval base near my house. Like...I could literally walk there and not break a sweat.
I chose everything very carefully; ESPECIALLY the non-combat inventory.

When you lower the riot shutter doors (I don't know if they have them in the UK) for the "lock in" procedure (in case of a riot, violent criminal, etc) the school is nearly impossible to enter without a latter. My high school, Corona del Sol, would be a veritable fort with those lowered, and a sniper's paradise! Actually, I should have chosen the Corona campus for my fort, it's much closer.
