Most modern zombie movies involve living people being turned into zombies via bite/infection, not the dead rising up from the ground and being reanimated.

Blades don’t need reloading.
Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet.
Ear plugs are handy. The constant moaning of the undead can effect your psychological state.

Blades however do require maintenance. Cutting through the neck of a zombie I’m sure is no easy feat with a dull blade.
Bashing is the way forward in my opinion. The usefulness of something like a crowbar/mace combination shouldn’t be overlooked!
ed - not that I don’t think swinging a sword around doesn’t sound feckin cool, but to be removing the heads of moving zombies accurately you’d have to be Ogami Itto or something. Technique just doesn’t come easily!
I have a Savage FTR like this one below.It has a 30 inch barrel which is needed when you need to start loading the rounds hotter to get out past 800. I haven’t shot more than paper targets with it yet though I’m afraid…

Jesus Nards, everyone knows ghosts aren’t real man. Get with the program!
I’ve been going to Mohave Desert and shooting guns every year since I was 15ish and now im 21. I don’t know if its me or what but shooting a gun loses its novelty really fast. Maybe its because none of us have Full Auto guns

As gopher season is fast approaching, looking at a Savage in .17HMR (93R17BTVS). Anyone shoot .17 or have comments on this?
Oh, and Nards…that is a fuckin’ awesome shirt. [/quote]
I shot a few different rifles in .17hmr .No recoil.They’re a neat little round but they don’t offer much more than a .22 to justify me getting one. I’d get a .223 bolt gun if you don’t already have one over a .17 for varmints. It’s gonna be more practical.

Well then you just need to git to bumpfirin’ your semi-autos…
I just went shooting earlier today and it was fun for the first time. They started me off with a .22 handgun. Then to a .40 on the handgun. I shot a bunch of different handguns, shotguns, and rifles. I don’t know the name of them all, but my favorite was the FAL. Here is a few pics since it seemed like a few of you guys gave me shit because I said something about call of duty.
I shoot both archery and firearms. Steady hands are a must for both. If you’re just looking to get into one or the other, I would choose firearms. If you stick with a .22 it will probably be a lot cheaper than setting yourself up with a bow and arrows. Arrows are fairly expensive and get lost or bent easily if you’re shooting anywhere besides your back yard. Ammo for a .22 is very cheap and they’re a lot of fun to shoot.

Double tap…always double tap. Medieval tools seem to be a suitable, but tend to be for the larger carriers as they are a little cumbersome to wield.

I only get excited to shoot new guns. Otherwise, it’s either practice for target or tactical, or siting in a gun. I still shoot once every week. It’s like taking a shower, you don’t really feel like doing it, but you still gotta do it. Or, when it counts you’ll be caught off guard.
