Well Blitz......
Mr. Brooks suggests the M1 .30 caliber carbine for zombie hunting. Short, lightweight and compact. More than enough power for shooting thru rotted zombie melons. Smaller/lighterweight cartrage means more ammo on board for the same weight size as higher calibers.....made in mass quantities so parts/spares should be easy to come by. Ruger made, not sure if they still do a single action pistol (revolver) that also fired .30, that way your rifle AND pistol would use the same ammo. That way less space would have to be devoted to ammo differentials to keep diffrent caliber systems loaded.
A fine weapon for TEOTWAWKI and zombies
Now if you're looking into some thing for "zombie sniping" i.e., long range hunting......
A savage in .308, hell just about any .308 bolt rifle will fit that bill. If you also wanted a "civilian" .308 assault rifle (semi auto firing) then a springfield M14, G3, CETME, FNFAL would do ya just fine.

Thanks Bill!

You just saved me from having to unpack 6 boxes of books to find my copy!

By the way, AMT made a semi auto 1911 style pistol for the 30 carbine as well. Didn't seem to last long, but what a concept.

I use to have a 30 Carbine Ruger single action revolver, it had a very big boom when fired for some reason. It was as loud as the 44 Mag revolver. I still have a 10-inch 30 carbine barrel for my TC contender, but I never shoot it any more.


How do flame throwers work for Zombies? It may not explode their head, but it’s gotta mess up your day. That is if you can mess up the day of someone that’s already dead?

Here is a good writeup:

Grin and Barrett

I think it states in there that this rifle is specifically designed to take out zombies. Or maybe not.

I've never heard it this active. Has it started already? There have been numerous incidents tonight, (at least 15 different high priority calls, nevermind fire/rescue) one guy hitting several cars while driving, leading to a high speed pursuit. I didn't know zombies could drive. Man it has been non-stop for 4 hours now. I live in a medium sized town, about 25000, (medium by Central MA standards) I've never heard this much chatter since I've been here, 3 years.

Wondering if there is something in the air tonight?

Blitz

Izzy,

Huh?

I've heard the 6.8mm M468 what is the M486? Is that a typo 4mm? I would hope that are troops out there are getting a smaller round.

Here's what you need.

It's more than a barret, but looks like it's well worth it.

Sorry I can't even afford the $0.41 stamp let alone the buck.

But personally I'd go for one of the big Barretts. That way I can drop them far enough away so I don't have to worry about the smell. Also I don't have to worry about carrying the ammo around.
