I'm sure many people have heard about this ammo type but for others I'll give a quick explanation. Shotgun flechettes are one inch long nails with fins for aerodynamicy. A shotgun shell can fit over twenty of these nails and they aren't in use with the military due to Geneva Convention disputes yet you can buy them on a commercial level in the USA depending on your local laws.
I personally don't shoot this type of ammo due to my 12 guage having rifling in it as these nails would end up scoring the inside, so smoothbores are highly suggested. The question I pose is this: can a flechette pierce through a human skull? While I have seen that it can pierce body armor (up to level 2A I believe) a skull is of course a different matter. Anyone have any evidence or even first hand accounts due to their own experimentation on animal skulls perhaps?

I'm pretty strong (just small) and I have had experience with hand guns and pistol crossbows, but I needed some expertise advice on what would be a good semi light-weight weapon for me shooting from a distance. I have a framed child carrier that I would be wearing with my toddler in it, so weight is important to me. Weapons with scopes on them are awesome because I'm a good sniper, but on the go, they aren't the more efficient... Hrmm

I know we've had a couple of 'best melee weapon' threads, so I decided, why not make thread about the WORST melee weapons?
The worst, in my opinion, would have to be the katana, I know a couple of noobs are going to disagree with me, but really, it weighs, what, 40 lbs.? And they expect to just be able to carry it around everywhere with ease, and not to mention, real katanas aren't very easy to find these days, and what makes me even angrier, is that the katana is usually one of the most cliched weapons in 'best melee weapons' topics ever, what the hell is so great about them?

I decided to make a new thread since the tactical vest thread seems kinda stalled out. Out of curiosity have any of you guys eyed any of the scott-e-vest gear to replace the...well...bag portion of our B.O.Bs? They are coming out with a trenchcoat in the next few months that can replace a carry on airline bag in terms of capacity and all their gear is engineered to be a: relatively bulge-less and b: have proper weight distribution. Keeping a low profile was mentioned in the last thread (incase you run into bands of other survivors that might wish to procure what you have for themselves...) and this jacket seems like one way to do that. If not to completely replace the bag, at least allowing us to carry a less obvious one that may not scream 'WELL PREPARED PERSON HERE! SHOOT ME AND TAKE MY STUFF!'. I havent purchased anything from them yet but I plan to as soon as that trench comes out.
http://scottevest.posterous.com/more-sneak-peaks-at-new-scottevest-products The coat I mentioned is the first one of the ones listed there.

Ok, since I've seen three threads come and go, I'd like to approach this from a new angle.
What this thread is looking for: - What you OWN, and not what you THINK you can get. - If you don't have it where you can grab it and go (i.e., your friends/grandpas/uncles/neighbors house) you ain't got it. - Fantasy crap is not allowed. - Feel free to post what you plan to obtain, but first tell us what (if anything) you do own/have access to. - Be honest. - Be prepared for criticism. - NO debating or complaining (i.e., AR v AK, melee vs guns, "my country is better than yours", "I think _____ sucks", etc.) - Understand that tangent discussions will happen, however everyone must keep in mind that this thread is about your loadout weapons. - Also, please feel free to discuss if you are planning on bugging in, or bugging out, if this choice determines your weapons.

Any of you have a silencer/sound suppressor in your BOB? I would imagine shooting without one will give away your position and possibly end up getting you killed by attracting more and more. I live in CA unfortanately so my plan is to buy some NVG's and sneak up from behind taking a headshot with my KA BAR.

When trying to decide upon the perfect survival firearm most people look at the gun first and forget about the ammo.
I think you should pick your ammo first and then find the firearm best suited to firing that particular round. Sound crazy? Its really not. Your looking for a firearm for survival purposes. That means you're going to be practicing with that firearm often and stockpiling ammo. You don't want a firearm that uses expensive or hard to find ammo. You want cheap, effective ammo that is easy to find and will get the job done whatever that job might be. Firearms are tools plain and simple. Pick the right tool for the job. What does everyone here believe are some good choices in ammo that fit the criteria of inexpensive, easy to find and capable of neutrilizing zombie threats as well as human threats? What are some other criteria that you believe a round should be capable of preforming?

| madworld0909 | the importance of having an extra gun that is small during Z-Day (page: 1 2) | 36 | Tuesday, 9:04 AM EDT by 2WheeledSpeed | ||||

Thread started: Sunday, 1:18 AM EDT

often we all figure out what primary and secondary weapons we have when Z-Day arrives, but in all seriousness what you would you have if the unthinkable happened? you're without your main guns, you run out of ammo with your main guns, you have a melee weapon but it's knocked, broken, or torn from you. I believe a valuable option would be if people carried a third gun, a small one that's either pocket-sized or small enough to get an ankle holster. in the most extreme of these instances you'll have a weapon that hasn't been holding you down by constricting on weight and volume by it's necessity of it's size, weightless, out of sight, still in mind
the most ideal weapons if it were me (these of course have skull penetrating power so their still ideal) would be the colt .25, the Colt .38 Detective Special, a compact Glock holding the shortest of barrels, or (now that it came out in May of this year) the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 380. if you want to look up the 380 go to any thoughts against the idea? if the ideas appealing then what small pistol would you use?

I've searched this, without many results, so forgive me if I have missed something.
I live in Holland, strict weapon laws... seeing I'm under-aged I'll have no chance on getting a decent fire arm that can take out a zed when I have to. I was wondering, is there any kind of ranged (Not a bow, it needs so much practice to be used effectively, and ammo is limited.) that would be easy to get when hell breaks open. Or that I could get before. I just need something to take down a zombie before he can get too close. Thanks for the answers!

So I was wondering, was types of weapons (melee, ranged, etc.) would you give to the young? A reasonable age group would be 12-17. Seeing how I am 13 years old and I dont plan on dying, I would just like to know your input on this. What would be a good gun for me? I have gone hunting with a Remington 500 and there is one in my dad's closet. You are most likely going to encounter younger survivors, so it would be important to give them a weapon that they could use to help out.

Right now, here is my loadout. The armory is in two locations, my house and my friends house int he country, which is actually a relatively well-protected home.
My half: 1. 2 Glock 21s 2. Mosberg 935 Magnum(gotta love that pistol grip!) 3. Ka-Bar combat knife His half: 1. 2 .30-06 hunting rifles 2. A 10 guage and a 12 guage shotgun 3. A Ka-Bar combat knife 4. A katana that we have tested and seems to be ready for battle(sounding like a mall ninja, I know) Are there any additions to this that you guys would suggest? I'm thinking of buying a 1911, maybe two, as well as a good high-powered rifle for picking off Zeds at extreme distance. Any ideas?

Would anyone here use a Paradox Gun as their firearm of choice? One gun for two types of ammo...
Could be useful, especially if ammo supplies diminish.

Would anyone on the site be interested in a postal match for the month of March? Iron sights ONLY, centerfire calibers, 100 yards? Handloads & match ammo permitted, but you must admit to using them... Also, gotta have a camera or scanner to show target and upload to site (or email to me.)
5 holes (shots) per target, standard 100 yard target... or you can use the target posted below. http://www.mytargets.com/Target5%20red%20circles%20and%20cntr.pdf No prizes - just for fun. I'd like to see what my fellow zombie survival enthusiasts are capable of. I'll also be entering - I plan on doing my shoot this weekend! Anyone game? I'd be glad to run my ex-sniper M91/30 up against anyone here....! ~LJ

Ok, so here is a list of the best potential materials, suits, and armor I have found pertaining to zombie protection. Unfortunately, I have yet to find one that is perfect. Here are some pros and cons of what I have found.
1: Wet suit. Pros: -Relatively light in weight -Relatively Durable -Bite and Fluid resistant -Relatively Flexible Cons: -They are only known to be bite resistant at 5mm neoprene or thicker. -Anything over 3mm is made for cold water and holds heat to your body, this can cause hyperventilation, or heat stroke after only a few hours in the sun. I did manage to find one made with a thin layer of woven titanium that is only 3mm thick and not made to retain heat. Although, it cost nearly $1000, and seems to be extremely rare. 2: Motocross Armor. Pros: -Semi light weight -Highly flexible -Solid protection to (most) areas -Made to expel body heat Cons: -Motocross armor does not cover every part of the body. It is built to support the main joints, and leaves the underbelly of all limbs almost completely exposed. This can be fixed by applying more of the armor, at the expense of less flexibility and more weight. I would not call that a complete solution. 3: Equestrian Leathers. Pros: -Extremely light weight -Highly flexible -Does not retain body heat -Highly durable Cons: -It is unclear as to how resistant to biting and scratching the materials will be, as they are not made for such purposes. -Not resistant to infectious fluids in any way. 4: SWAT / Riot Gear Pros: -Highly resistant -Extremely durable -Built to expel body heat where possible Cons: -Bulky -Heavy -Restricts Visuals and flexibility Looking for thoughts. Perhaps a combination.
