Oh dear, this is bad! Our Rube started out as an innocent hunter by day and is now going down the dark path of Night Stalker!

^ Nah... it doesn't come in 30-06. I'm gonna have to stick with my anti-zombie plan A, the standard issue Puertorrican Machete.

00 buckshot is not bad, but deer slug has way more stopping power.

Cut shotgun shells, numbers 4 upto 8 works well against slow movers, fast movers not so much. Deer slugs would be great. Low tech=sharpened folding shovel, or a machete. Hungarian SA2000 semiAuto for the fast movers. Merry Christmas.

My brother bought me a box of the .40's as a bit of a joke. He also bought me World War Z and 'bleeding' zombie targets.

Git Sum! Yeah, Buddy!

Those things are a play on their critical defense loads...they put the same rubber peice inside the hollow point tip...which is great cause they hang up and cause FTF's which is exactly what any good zombie killer person is looking for...

Why, no .50 BMG?

Never had an issue with the polymer tip in the hundreds of rounds of 380 I've run through my little Bersa, and that's not exactly worlds most advanced design. Just got a box of 9mm to test in my Ruger as a possible carry round in that. And of course, never a hiccup in the 357 Mag revolver either. What were you getting FTF's in?

Yay, another acronym learned, Failure To Feed. I had a few of those but is not the rifle nor the ammo, is just me pushing the bolt forward after a cartridge was ejected, without pulling it all the way back to feed the new round. Keeps scaring the heck out of me because those have to be treated as a misfire. Or should that be called "Failure To Load"?

Perhaps you're not gripping the pistol well enough. Possibly, due to different amounts of recoil, you're experience a failure to feed due to 'limp wristing'. My brother's FNP40 does it all the time if you don't hold it well enough. I've never seen it happen with my Baby Eagle. Some pistols seem more prone to it than others, and some loads seem to make those particular pistols worse.

Why, no .50 BMG?

The round and weapon used to fire the round is too heavy, as well as the fact that .50 BMG rounds and the weapons used to fire them are VERY expensive.

going by that, you wouldn't even enable the trigger to be reset if you aren't pulling it back far enough.

The trigger gets reset when you move the bolt up...

- up, resets trigger
- back, ejects shell
- forward, pushes new round
- down, to lock it in place.

With that single mauser type action we can't hook you up with a cartel coil-loader:( For quick reloads you might consider a "Poncho Villa"style of bandalero(mucho gusto great hunter:thumb:).

You can however legally purchase 2 banana clips and reverse tape them together to impress the future kin folks.
*Never get caught in the Everglades with a lunch box of pastelles and an empty clip in your shooten-iron.

With all this shooting,ammo,PBR longneck guzzeling in Georgia will there be time and money left for us to continue renovating your new crib?

Hey Ruben.

If yer still in Georgia please be aware that the sandpits are especially treacherous in the cooler months because of the rain and it not evaporating and making that quicksand situation.

Plus the whole illegal enforced slavery thing if you do survive.

Be cool. Say "Yes Ma'm" and "ya'll" and "Bless You!' and you might get out of there alive.

And if you have to swear it's "dayum" real quick.

sounds like a badly designed gun.

I suggested weeks ago(to stay cost effective in this hobby)that he waits till after a drug cartel shootout in downtown Miami and pick up some of the slick new weapons left behind by the recently departed souls.

do they keep their hardware in good working order?
I know that most of our local thugs don't.

My 1911 had a few...not too bad. But enough that I think i'll just stick with good ole HP's. I wasn't limp wristing, I don't have a problem with any other HP's i've shot through it...Coulda just been that box too, bad batch maybe?

These sunbelt thugs are rolling in a Lexus or BMW as a work car.
I seriously doubt they are packing last years 2010 model Mac-15 or Uzi.

"Limp wristing" can also lead to "light in your loafers"which also can effect your aim.

Most likely the spoils would be oddly looking AK47s, designed for the illiterate peasants who don't care about the inability to shoot MOA @ 25 yards because they don't know what MOA is anyway.

Is the treehuggers fault. Apparently I'm supposed to give prey a "fair chance" so, the assault rifle with the 200 round rotary mag is out of the question.

And those aren't any zombies, those are Junkyard Zombies.

Yeah, I've been running into a lot of outwardly sane people who seem actually concerned about this. It's like, out of all the plausible end of world scenarios, a guy wants to latch onto the least likely. As far as I know, apart from Jesus, there's no such thing as zombies, and opinions vary on Jesus.

I've thought about this a lot. I think the best zombie gun would be a Ruger 10-22 in .22 WMR, with 50-round drums. Enough punch for 75-100 yard kills, light recoil for fast reacquisition, accurate enough to go through an eye. Remember, only head shots are kill shots. .22 WMR would get through the skull once but probably not twice, just kind of rattle around in there and tear stuff up. Probably even enough punch to break a femur to slow one down while I reloaded or climbed a tree or something, too. Centerfires are tempting, but no one makes a very light-caliber slide-action rifle with a removeable box magazine. You really don't want to go too heavy with the caliber, because that limits your ammo load. Something like .25-20 would be perfect. Actually, now that I think about it, a pump with a box mag in .30 Carbine would be a pretty good zombie gun. Semi-autos are good but I'd want mine to be straight blowback, not gas-operated. There will be a shortage of Hoppe's #9 after the Zombie Apocalypse, and centerfire gas autos need a tighter maintenance schedule than I may be able to give them. I'm damn near as fast with a trombone rifle, and they're pretty simple.

Probably would want like a 2.5x 'scope with either an illuminated crosshair reticle or a 2-minute red dot. I'd want it on a Picatinny rail so I could get rid of it in a hurry if I damaged it, and I'd want a ghost-ring rear sight and a good thick ramp front.

*edit* Oh, and a bayonet lug. Gotta have a bayonet.

My 1911 had a few...not too bad. But enough that I think i'll just stick with good ole HP's. I wasn't limp wristing, I don't have a problem with any other HP's i've shot through it...Coulda just been that box too, bad batch maybe?

Take a little bit of emery cloth action to the feed ramp. It's a common problem with new, stiff 1911's. They have to kind of wear in and get a little loose, and then they become garbage eaters and can fire pretty muchany .45 auto round, including wadcutters.

My Korean-war era Remington-manufactured 1911A1 is bone stock except for an extended slide release and an aftermarket (Clark? I forget) barrel. Shake it and it rattles, and it's only good for "minute of can" accuracy. But it will feed everything up to but not including small children and low-flying birds.

On a zombie invasion scenario I'm sure I would like to have a sidearm as backup in either .40 or 9mm. Given that, it would not hurt to carry a small carbine that could use the same ammo as the sidearm. A foldable Kel Tek sub2000 comes to mind.

These are the times when I truly wish I didn't live in the anti-gun state of Massachusetts. Damn, that looks like fun! Oh well, New Hampshire isn't far away.:innocent:

+1 to what Tom said on the 1911. I've seen 1911's that could feed anything, others that barely fed round ball reliably. I keep debating on picking one up. I don't need yet another caliber to stock / reload, but darn if .45 auto isn't a good one to keep around.

back to the original topic - my Ruger Mini 14 would be the primary zombie carbine. plenty of cheap 30 round mags, .223 is still cheap and plentiful. 2.5-7x scope to keep them at range. Haven't run any 'good' .223 through it yet, but I know it eats the cheap and dirty stuff just fine.

While we are making these anti-zombie preparations, what about having something on the side for other equally deadly threats like, vampires. IMHO, it would be great to get some boxes of hollow points in your caliber of choice, fill the cavity with a drop of holly water and seal it of with glue.

For werewolf, substitute the holly water with some silver-heavy solution and we are good to go.

ya'll know that zombies are not real, right?

When is the next gun show? Might use my Christmas bonus to get a pistol for Martha? We need to plan a day of biking, gun shopping and post ride drinking.

I like this plan. I shall investigate.

Or if you have a little money to spend the installation of a Clark ramped (requires maching for the integrated ramp) barrel will do wonders. My 45 will load empty brass even after firing a whole case of cheap hardball through it. A good feedramp polishing usually works almost as well as Tom says.
BTW I prefer Magsafe for zombies. :D

Whenever I buy a new pistol, I always check to see if the feed ramp needs a good polish.
