    To quote the Zombie Survival Guide, “keep in mind the basic questions that apply to all firearms: What is its range? What is its accuracy? Is the appropriate ammunition readily available? How easy is it to clean and maintain?”

    The Military issue BOLT-/LEVER-ACTION RIFLE A product of the mid-nineteenth century, these weapons are often regarded as obsolete. Why use a hunting rifle when you can own a submachine gun? Such arrogance is simply unfounded, its roots based in techno-chauvinism and the absence of practical experience. A well made, expertly used bolt- or lever-action rifle offers a defense against the living dead that is as good if not better than the latest military hardware. A rifle's single-shot capability forces the user to make each round count, increasing the chance of a hit. This feature also eliminates even the possibility of "rock 'n' rolling," and therefore preserving ammunition whether the user intends to or not.

    Semi-auto works too... especially in close quarters but you gotta save ammo

    I think you have to figure out your location and what you're going to do day to day before settling on weapons. Will you be in an urban area or in the country? Do you plan on performing any CQB or room clearing? Or will you be home on the range?

    OK, I have given this some more thought. It's important to think long-term here, not just for yourself, but for civilization. As I see it, we're going to be farmers. Have to for a long-term food supply. as for location, contrary to some other posts I've seen, forget about freezing cold climates. You can't grow beans and corn in the snow. You also have to consider natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tornadoes. So for location I say a smallish island, with a source of freshwater, either off the coast of southern California, or perhaps some remote piece of Hawaii.
    After that comes lots and lots of barbed wire / concertina wire. I can't believe no one has mentioned such a valuable tool. You'll basically need to construct your own concentration camp-like defensive fortification. It sucks, but at least the weather should be nice.
    I actually think a flamethrower (or some sort of incendiary device) might be useful here. Yes, yes, it won't kill them straight away, but let's face it, even zombies eventually turn to charcoal if you let them cook long enough.
    Weapons:
    I honestly think you'll need an arsenal and endless ammo, but that defeats the purpose of this discussion. For close-range skull-popping I'd go with a highly modified Ruger 10/22. Short barrel, red dot site, stubby silencer, extended magazine, CCI Stinger ammo. Pistol grip and folding stock for lighter weight.
    for a close range back-up a 9mm Sig 226. A 12 gauge pump, like a Remington 870 is also good for dropping baddies in CQB. I wonder if a medium weight bird shot would do the trick? I'm a bit of a traditionalist, so some sort of M16 or M4 for medium range is a must. It's also good in case you have to defend your farm from any all-too-desperate humans that don't wanna play by your rules.

    I know these posts are old, but I hadn't seen them till now, and I feel obligated to show you guys just how wrong you are. My zombie defenses consists of the following:

    First off, the 22lr's,
    CZ 452, just got this thing, and I haven't figured out what ammo it likes yet, but it'll do consistent head shots at 100 yards with cheap bulk ammo. Once I get a silenced for it it'll be the ultimate zombie extermination machine.
    S/W 617 10 shot, 6" barrel
    Browning Buckmark 4" barrel
    Walther p22 Waiting for a silencer


    The 223, for when you're dealing with zombie soldiers, who might be wearing helmets, 22lr won't get through that.
    Ruger mini 14 ranch rifle
    Sig 5563 inch groups at 100 yards

    The 308's, for reaching WAY out there. Sound don't matter if you're 600 yards away, because the zombies won't know which way to run anyways. Remember, zombies won't be the only thread, plenty of living folks might want to fuck with you
    FN FAL
    FN SPR The FBI's sniper rifle of choice, garunteed to do 1moa, but more likely to be around .25 MOA. Head shots at 600 yards should be no problem.


    Oh, I almost forgot, 2 sig 9mm's, one which will do 2 inch groups at 50 yards, and a S/W 627, thats an 8 shot 357, loads with moon clips, and will do 2 inch groups at 50 yards, and a 12 gauge FN SLP, for when you just need to clear a path.


    Somehow, I think I'll be all right, although yy plan isn't just to survive, its to exterminate the fuckers, find some broads, and start repopulating the planet.



    Just curious, of all you people throwing up your ideal guns, how many of you have actually shot them? How many of you shoot them more than twice a year? All the guns in the world don't mean shit if you can't use them.

    I have spent a lot of time shooting my ideal rigs...

    Sako RK 95, accurate even without a scope for 300m headshots (been there, done that). Good enough in close querters.
    [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RK_95_TP[/ame]

    Sako TRG-42 for shooting the baddies from afar.
    [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sako_TRG[/ame]

    And some generic 9mm guns for actual close encounters.

    Reasons being that the ammo is readily available around here, the guns are freakin' robust and never jam... And as pointed out, they perform really well.

    So I'm reading the pages of this epic and informative thread- and get to the bottom of the page and see this banner ad- likely a first for TGR:

    I seem to have underestimated the humble Ruger 10/22. I never really shot mine at anything over about 100 yards until last weekend - mostly because everybody says .22s are useless beyond that. Granted, my 10/22 is a freakafied sniper version but I feel really confident that I could score continuous head shots out to 250 yards. Plus 200 rounds of ammo weighs about as much as one of the magazines for my .308.


    My customised Ruger 10/22
    A Ruger MkII pistol w/ supressor
    A bunch of CCI Greentag ammo
    A katana

    ^^^^^^
    This is just for zombies. Roving gangs of dirtbags are a whole nother story.

    Obviously you've never seen a zombie movie. The point is to stay as far away from them as possible.

    My second installment:

    My long arm would have to be the Magpul Masada in a .223 with the folding stock. Takes a shitfaced beating and keeps on ticking while hot, dirty, wet and smoking... Kinda like Mila. The adjustable gas system even has a "zombie" setting on it should you be in the heat of battle and start seeing brass ejection distance decrease. It's like the AR but with far simpler system and is easily converted to run other calibers of ammo should you run out. I'd pick up a 50 round drum for good measure.

    Sidearm could also be the S&W Performance center .357 8-shot revolver with the 6" barrell loaded with frangible .38 special rounds for backup with a ton of autoloaders on the belt. No better handgun in my mind, and jamming = unpossible.

    Oh, and on further reflection, a 40mm pump grenade launcher just because they look like a ton of fun and the gimp factor would be fucking awesome.

    The magpul masada is currently being marketed by bushmaster as the ACR, and is not out yet, so I'm not sure how you've already formed ideas about it's reliability. In theory, it should be better than the AR platform, but its not even out yet, and has never been tested in combat, so who really knows? Also, there are no caliber conversions announced for it yet.

    That s/w 627 is indeed a nice gun, but it loads with moon clips instead of speed loaders.

    Since you've clearly not shot either though, they're not going to do you a whole lot of good.

    Yea, but its pretty unlikely, especially a nice one.

    Jamming isn't a problem with nice auto pistols either really, just cheap pieces of shit. As long as you keep any decent auto pistol well lubed, and don't use junk mags, it should be right up there with a revolver.

    Unless its a 1911 that is. Some work, but some are the most over priced jammotics out there.

    I agree with you about the "theory" part, but properly engineered simplicity=reliability and the caliber conversion system is in place, basically waiting for the conversion kits to be finalized and marketable. In theory it is simpler, more adjustable and more user friendly (especially in heavy use/no cleaning scenarios) but anybody who was in 'Nam could have told you the AR system is finnicky and in need of an update, that and the gas system can light a match after a single friggin' clip. Not so with the Masada. Now quit hatin' on a sweet piece of machinery. I mean fuck, we have people saying "light saber" in here, where's your "bullshit" call as to their reliability??? The masada is sick, you're just jealous you didn't think of it first

    That s/w 627 is indeed a nice gun, but it loads with moon clips instead of speed loaders.

    My b.

    Since you've clearly not shot either though, they're not going to do you a whole lot of good.

    Just so you know, I live about 7 minutes from the Smith & Wesson Shooting & Sports Center and as a member, I have shot every single pistol they've made in the past five years from the .22s on up to the longbarrel .500.(excluding only the .460, as their range's backstop can't handle it) The 627 with the tapered 6" barrel is the tightest wheelgun I've ever fired. Awesome piece of machinery. Maybe you should come by and I could show ya' around- you seem like a dude who would enjoy choosing between about 75 pistols in the case

    Jamming isn't a problem with nice auto pistols either really, just cheap pieces of shit. As long as you keep any decent auto pistol well lubed, and don't use junk mags, it should be right up there with a revolver.

    This is Zombie time, brah. You're scrounging for ammo. You may end up firing wolf rounds, which I wouldn't put through an autoloader when it mattered if you paid me. Even a 945 will jam occasionally with cheap ammo.

    I have way too much time on my hands.

    Agreed and ditto. Now I'm off to the shop floor, thinking of zombies whilst I work
