Same concept
You also want to keep the zombie specialty chains in stock. Do you realize how hard it is to change them with an oncoming horde of the undead and a stripped adjustment screw?
Also known as “the amazing Jam-o-matic”.
Naw... Demons can do all kinds of things mere Zombies can’t. When was the last time you saw a flying zombie or one that can jump out of a mirror at you?
I present the esteemed Dr. Russel Fell, expert Zombie Hunter and Home Orthodontist.
I haven’t had a problem with 00 buck or slugs in it.
Good crowd though :)
For the answer to this thorny conundrum, we must consult the authorites; i.e. the makers of the ‘Living Dead’ movies. Fortunately, they have spoken with a single voice - ‘To destroy the ghoul, destroy the brain.’
Nothing else will do, and thus the solution of choice, IMO, is the Remington 870 12 ga.
There were two at DPMS’ Outbreak: Omega II this year. Both jammed reliably at least once per mag.
Well, in keeping with this ridiculous article, neither knives or guns would be my choice in case of a Zombie attack. Flame thrower for me.
I’ve got W. Central Indiana covered with my troops.
When I was USAF/AD I was on a site security team and we managed to get some defensive edged weapon training. Basically it focused on getting somebody OFF of you by using a knife. Afterwards, we all decided that if there was any way possible, we were going to SHOOT them. You have to be very determined in order to completely incapacitate somebody with an edged weapon (combat sized knives and smaller) in a short time, while not getting the crap beaten out of yourself in the process. :-)
The best defense against zombies is a remote control. If I even sense they might be coming up in the tv show or movie, the channel gets changed before they can ruin the movie and possibly bore me to death.
Over the short haul guns are OK but in a full blown zombie apocalypse guns are a problem. They’re loud, they need a lot of maintenance, and they will eventually run out of ammo, not to mention head shots are difficult. Swords don’t attract as much attention, are easier to maintain, never need reloading, and it’s a bit easier to smack heads than shoot them.
There are a couple of things I don’t quite understand about your post.
First is, this thing about running out of ammo. I can’t quite see myself doing that. I look around the house and just can’t see that happening. That must happen in only Zombie movies.
The other is this thing about maintenance with firearms. I’ve had to change a lot of parts in guns but that was mostly a 1911 Colt that I had which had a very unlucky life. It should be fine now. All the parts have been changed.
Head shots difficult? Well, maybe but that’s under the clock and I do pretty well. I don’t have to Mosambique a zombie. That’s a waste of time. I’ll just go straight for the head and save a couple of rounds and seconds.
Swords are fine. They look really nice on the wall and they don’t seem to have the horror from the libs like an AK or something. Every guy should have a couple on the walls, a machete or two in the trunk and just for giggles a tomahawk or three.
Oh, and entrenching shovels are cheap at a local Surplus store. WWI soldiers liked them because you didn’t have to retract them from the body. I heard of a guy who almost died because his bayonet bent under a rib and he couldn’t pull it out. After that, he just sharpened his shovel.
LOL.
