Zombie Apocolapse?

[TEA]

Here are my zombie killing firearms.



I'm thinking for a vehicle, mounting one of these in the back of a GMC HD dually would work for dealing with large numbers of zombies.



For a melee weapon, I'm thinking a cutlass.

Lights attract zombies!

You can't use NVG's all the time... besides, LED head lamps use WAY FEWER batteries than Night Vision in the long run.

& according to the predominant zombie literature, they don't have to see you. Apparently, smell is enough for them to accurately navigate towards fresh meat/the uninfected. Hey, don't ask me, I just know what I read....

Now that I think about it what you'd really want for zombie invasion is a Browning Automatic Rifle loaded with .30 cal JSPs.

Functioning relic? Swords, knives and clubs are functioning relics. 1911 is a gift from God.

What, pray tell, is it about a single action pistol with an exposed hammer, manual safety and low cap mag that you find so uber deadly? Is it the fact that you have to (dangerously) carry it "cocked and locked" to have any chance of deploying it quickly?

I went today to buy some .40 caliber and 9 mm rounds and a few boxes of buckshot to add to my [seriously lacking] stockpile. The first store had none of the ammo I needed, the second had the buckshot but not the others, and the 3rd and 4th had no pistol rounds at all. I finally had to go to the store at the shooting range and buy it from them at a higher cost.
If it keeps.

Apparently, people are hoarding bullets now, and it's not making this whole preparedness thing very easy.

Buy online in bulk and look into reloading.

Hahahahahaha!!!! WORD. :qgreenjum

There's nothing unsafe about cocked and locked. It depends on the operator and the level of his training. Given the same # trigger pull its safer than a Glock.

The thing that makes a Glock unsafe is BEING TRIGGER HAPPY & SPASTIC.
Get a NY trigger & a Tarnhelm or Cominolli if'n you're such a spaz.

All this zombie preparedness is getting me psyched. i hope it's zombie tiem soon.

If it concerns you Vorpal :), you can still get a pistol with a manual safety that has other modern improvements. The HK USP comes to mind...

But the difference is, with the 1911 you gain nothing by carrying it cocked and locked, but pistols without a manual safety are that tiny bit faster to deploy and have one less thing to worry about if you ever have to draw it in real need. I would guess everyone has had a time when they drew their gun at the range and nothing happened when they pulled the trigger because they forgot to take off the manual safety! Which is why I am not, and have never been a big fan of the manual safety.

And Glocks ain't the only game in town. I like Sigs and the new Smith M&P way better than the Glocks I've shot. Seriously, you 1911 guys need to move into the new century. I mean, I like shooting my 1851 Navy replica (the gun carried by Wild Bill!), but I wouldn't ever actually think of "using" it! Unless that's all Obama leaves me with... ;)

[Neildo]

that 1851 navy would take a zombies head off. i'd hang on to that come 'z'pocalypse time if i were you.

While there are many cases known of people's lives (particularly officers) being saved when they lost their gun to an assailant and the assailant did not know enough to deactivate the safety there appears to be no record (none that I know of at least) of someone losing their life because they forgot to manipulate their own safety. Most "modern improvements" can be translated to the 1911 pattern (hi cap frames, polymers, rails, etc) so that argument doesn't really carry water. I have used Glocks, Sigs, Berrettas and other guns professionally. I prefer the 1911. It's a matter of personal choice predicated upon it's natural pointability, ease of use, accuracey and general shooting characteristics. I've converted more than a few Glock-jockeys by letting them shoot one magazine out of my Kimber. The place where most modern guns fail is their triggers. Switching from the crunchy, sloppy triggers with uneeded take up and over travel of most modern SAs to a well tuned 1911 is like going from driving your uncles 1981 Buick Regal to a high end BMW.
Keep in mind that the 1911 was designed by gunmen. Most "modern" firearms are designed by accountants, lawyers and marketers.

Maybe if they shot a "well-tuned" Glock, you might have an argument. Give any gunsmith worth his salt $500 and a decent quality out-of-the-box gun, & you'll get a much different weapon back.

Accountants, lawyers, & marketers? Yeah. Bullshit. Maybe mag caps & locks, but really, go get any of those people and tell them to "design" a gun. They won't have any more of a clue than the average anti-gunner. Quit just talking shit out your ass. :eusa_liar
