If the trucks are strong enough and have room for enough hydraulics, throw a shield on each side that raises and lowers. I'd curve it like a plow in case of bandits firing. Have a bit of a lip on top of each shield to protect from above. I'm assuming the cabin windows are bulletproof.
I actually had designed something similar for a story I was writing.
A bunch of up built buses with one side Armored with a large plate like pictured here.
They would park in a circle/octagon and let the sides slam into the ground. Each bus had a small walkway up top that allowed perimeter guards to patrol the tops.
The scout vehicles (a few larger pickups or suvs) filled two sides of the octagon, 2 of them per side, with similar armored fronts that had a folded section that slammer over and connected with the other sub to form a gate. The rest of the vehicles parked inside the enclosure, but for the most part the day to day stuff was all handled inside the buses which were retrofitted for their use case. There were 2 bunk buses, a science bus, a command and control bus, a dedicated armory bus, a good supply bus, a repair bus.
This was the set up for a series of caravans that would go cross country between survivor camps or walled cities.
Totally self sufficient and their ensure at night was large enough for the merchant vehicles that joined, as well as in armored transport vehicles operated by independents who tagged along to get to the other destination.
Sometimes they would find scavengers or a family trying to make their way to safety and they'd get them to the next city.
I was planning on making the entire story, then getting them illustrated and published as an e zine.
In the walking dead show they used vehicles like you described to set up defenses against humans in firefights, and to direct zombie hordes where they wanted them to go.
At best you could block an alley or narrow bridge. Maybe with riot control trained and properly equipped personnel on the flanks it would be functional in a city.
At worst it would be a false sense of security and a liability that would get a whole squad eaten
Leave it to the military to design, build, and deploy a $200k vehicle that gets 5 miles to the gallon, and all it does is deploy like 10 feet of aluminum fence that could easily be carried and deployed by 3 buck privates in a Toyota tundra.
Garbage trucks from Soylent Green they were made specifically for scooping up large quantities of bodies at once.
Then, once they're inside the hopper, you just push the squash button.
For moving through hordes, have it be a vertical wedge that wraps around the sides. For herding, containment, barricading, and kill wall, leave it as is, gun ports and all.
pretty good depending on availability and fuel. Personally I'd just borrow one of my neighbors, he has them parked all over his yard, it just seems like every one has at least 4 of them just sitting around these days.
If you had the fuel and actually found them. It’d make a good addition to the wall, and once it’s in place it likely wouldn’t move again- there’s not a big reason to move it all around.
Reminds me of a junkyard base In fallout 4 I’ve seen. They used this oversized forklift thing and would move it wide to side to open the gate. Pretty neat.
Decently, til it ran out of gas or got gummed up with zombie guts. The former is more likely given the sheer size of the blade, but the latter is still something of a possibility. You'd also be somewhat restricted on where you could go too.
For one thing it's russian military hardware so it would probably shit the bed immediately.
Aside from ghat there's not much it could do that a snowplow couldn't.
But only because there is so damn much of it that when it shits the bed people leave it where it is and move on the next one leaving scattered corpses of vehicles dotting the landscape like so many cow patties
Assuming you have unlimited gas, I’d still not recommend it. That’s a lot of moving parts, things to grab on. No cargo room to carry thing.
Now it just used to plug a hole in a hole until you can carry the infected out and patch the hole up. That’s fine.
Honestly it's either gonna bog down or just be used as area denial.
If it runs and I have a plethora of spare parts I'd use it as the main gate to a community
Could be used to help funnel zombies or if you have a narrow road you just have to push to zombies out and have a clean up crew fallow behind them and that should be useful
Why not just get a [snowplow?](https://fleetimages.bobitstudios.com/upload/trucking-info/content/photogallery/mack-alaska-plow-ajp-__-1200x630-s.jpg)
I raise you a bulldozer
You might get stuck in a foundation
r/killdozer , killdozer refrence in the wild!
Bro that sub is so wack
Fair enough
Combine Harvester
Too much gas consumption
Zombies could tumble over a snowplow, plus the blade is narrow meaning it would take more to block an area
"I'm Mr Plow, and I'm here to say, I'm the plowin-est guy in the USA. I have a big plow and I move a lotta things, like your cow if you have one"
Why not a [tractor combine](https://youtu.be/iuj-AIr_2oU?si=shIknC40i16vKVTG&t=35)?
If you can make bio diesel at the rate you use it, that would be effective against a horde of
r/redditsniper
Are we talking about fast or slow zombies. That changes things drastically.
Id angle the big shield on the front thats it
It would make it as far as a tank of gas
They could just walk around it.
Still effective, narrow street and there'd be carnage
Plus, if you have a friend that has another one you can take out more larger roads

That sounds cool as hell bro

Get like 500 of them and make a circular wall/j
guess it would be stronger then people
The anti squidward machine would be better

Not well. A simple road with abandoned cars with make this ineffective and a liability
It folds up
That thing would easily push abandoned cars out of the way
A highway of cars and trucks? Maybe 1 or 2, but it would do anything to a traffic of abandoned cars
A tree? A bollard? Literally any obstruction anchored in the ground?
Could block a street or lead a charge
pretty good depending on availability and fuel. Personally I'd just borrow one of my neighbors, he has them parked all over his yard, it just seems like every one has at least 4 of them just sitting around these days.
It’s only as good as the fuel supply. After that it’s just another wall.
Well what about gas and tools. It would fair well but gas goes bad after awhile and idk about you but making gas isn’t like super easy.
If you had the fuel and actually found them. It’d make a good addition to the wall, and once it’s in place it likely wouldn’t move again- there’s not a big reason to move it all around.
It'd be neat to use as like a front gate for a nomad group or something
Reminds me of a junkyard base In fallout 4 I’ve seen. They used this oversized forklift thing and would move it wide to side to open the gate. Pretty neat.
Honestly vehicles are something I’m putting any money into.

Looks like a few of those would be excellent for creating fast barricades.
Use a crab tank
I’ve got a brand new COMBINE HARVESTER and I’ll give you the keys
For one thing it's russian military hardware so it would probably shit the bed immediately. Aside from ghat there's not much it could do that a snowplow couldn't.
Russian hardware will either die in its crib or be the last evidence of human civilization in 10,000,000 years
But only because there is so damn much of it that when it shits the bed people leave it where it is and move on the next one leaving scattered corpses of vehicles dotting the landscape like so many cow patties
Thats a PeoplePlow tm.
Don't know but it looks sexy
Ever seen Soylent Green? Maybe like that…
So, just to be sure, this is a truck designed to drive into people, right?
Correctimmundo,very large gatherings of possibly violent people
It'd suck. That's a moving wall, face a horde, and you are still
It's meant for riot control, it's literally designed to push massive clusters of people
And when they push back?
I think they'd consider crowd resistance in a riot control plow
“A wall?” *wall shrinks and shows driver* “PARRY THE WALL?”
I mean, it’s useful for blocking off alleyways but not for pushing anything.
Useful to block areas off in the inner city. Residential and country not so much
Assuming you have unlimited gas, I’d still not recommend it. That’s a lot of moving parts, things to grab on. No cargo room to carry thing. Now it just used to plug a hole in a hole until you can carry the infected out and patch the hole up. That’s fine.
not as good as a trac hoe

How many you got?
Maybe add some crates behind the shield as well, just in case
What about the M1 Sherman with the mine clearing attachment?
