Has anyone else actually read Max Brook’s Zombie Survival Guide or did I just out myself here…
For the record, I only own a 12 gauge shotgun for the event of a zombie appocolypse and I need to spray and pray with buckshot to make it from my house to vehicle. The question reason came up when my fiance asked why I have a handgun AND shotgun within arms reach of the bed. I still maintain that she, and everyone else who laughed at this explination cannot in fact borrow it if and when the dead rise. [/quote]
Oh yeah. Still sitting on my bookshelf with other “reference” books.
World War Z, the book NOT the movie, is absolutely incredible. One the best works of fiction I have ever read, period.
I love how Zombie discussions always turn to weapons. And everybody puts shotguns and handgun on a pedastal but really, the best weapon agains the undead would be the .22 rifle. [/quote]
Fuck that, you keep your .22. Ill take Csulli and 2 Lobo’s and head to the front lines. [/quote]
I am curious for an explanation on this .22 theory as I would say a shotgun with extended mag and shortened barrel would be ideal, a 223 with a few 30 rd clips coming in second.[/quote]
you’re only taking headshots with a zombie. use the .22, save the bigger stuff for other threats.
.22 ammo is light. I could easily carry 1000 rounds of .22 and shoot it all day. shoot .308, 5.56, or a 12-gauge for an hour and you’ll be dead tired.
and it’s probably the most plentiful ammo around. [/quote]
Ah yes. I advocated the .22lr in a Zombie thread several years ago.
One important point you forgot is that Zombie brain matter would be a serious biohazard, you shoot 'em with a .308 and you’re spraying hazardous material everywhere. A .22lr would penetrate the skull and rattle around a bit with minimal leakage.
