With some careful consideration, (and some friendly neighbors) you too can make weapons at home.

"Grenades don't work on Zeds, head shots only. Are you talking on how to survive or training terrorist?" If 4 or 5 Zombies were after you at the same time. A grenade would work PERFECTLY fine. Not only would it kill 1 maybe 2. It would definitely knock them back/down. It would also possibly destroy their eyeballs and some limbs. Either the shock wave or shrapnel would definitely do a number on their vision. Remember, they are Zombies but they still rely on human body parts to function. Such as the eyes. Without them they couldn't see, just like a human.

Another REAL weapon. the time tested long handled framing hammer. about 32 ounces of man power with each skull busting swing. Simple and effective unless you smoke too much and the dry heaves set in.

a pack of dynimite or another kind of sucide bomb
to take them out with you

I don't think I would ever ask someone close to me to pull the trigger. I couldn't put a person through that. They probably have enough to deal with. I would want to be the one to make myself eat a bullet, I'd feel more in control of my death.

The M1 Carbine is a great firearm the bullet is a 30 caliber round it is a man killing round sure you can hunt with it but it was designed to be a small, light weight paratrooper rifle. Some would argue its crappy and it doesn't penetrate but the soldiers who used it said it was a great weapon. Now the .22 is a great survival gun. it doesn't go bang but it pops so you don't give away your position. Also it penatrates the skulland ricochets around in it but it dosent come out. plus consult the zombie survival guide on this.

the kloshnikov, (AK47) is very reliable, however it is also very very inaccurate. also it fires 7.62-59 a very rare round so your best choice would be ruger mini 14 or any variation of the AR15 it fires a 223-5.56 nato and you can find that ammo any where. as to the desert eagle. beautiful design, great power. but heavy as ****. remember, you are aiming right below the chin if you target is square to you, below the ear if target is walking parallel, so your arm will get tired your stance will be shaky. your best bet, is a 9mil or a 45cal.

your best bet would be a 223 weapon. as reliable as the ak is, its unaccurate. so you'd be looking for an ar15 or a ruger mini 14 high sustanable rate of fire, easy to clean and even more easy to fix. desert eagle good stoping power. but remember ur aiming for the face. its going to be way to heavy. with what i teach my marines in the fundamentles of marksmenship youd be better off with a 45 or a 9 mil.

the person who suggested a 22 caliber rifle is correct about finding ammo. but the premise that a 22 caliber rifle can do enough damage is shakey at best.
in living humans you must damage the part of the brain just above the spinal cord. the rest of the brain is not needed for the body to move its arms and legs. most of the brain above this area is used to decide were to go and what to do.
to kill a zombie instantly you need to damage the base of the brain. the only reason a bullet will stop a zombie is that when a bullet hits human flesh it causes a shockwave that damage the flesh surrounding the bullet path this shockwave damages the base of the brain allowing the zombie to be stoped instantly.
you would spend too much time aiming with a 22 rifle because the damage it causes is so small.
when dealing with zombies you need to spend the least amount of time aiming

i agree that the Modula is going to be your best target from the front that is a nose shot and to be honest i am surprised it is talked about more for any kinda of fire arm situation... example hostage situation guy has gun to ladies head you shot him and kill him but it was a shot to the forehead and the mashed brain send pulse threw the Modula contorting the body and potentiality firing the pistol pointed at her head killing her. now i am not sure if a 22lr is not enough for this but i think the real problem is the reliability and a center fire round i think would be the best idea even if it is 22 hornet, 5.7x28 or .223 i think five seven is were its at but i dont know about post Apoc availability

Why are they all grouped together in one all inclusive category? They are completely different rounds (.22lr v the other two) and I would never refer to an AR-15 as a .22 rifle.

"well i mean idealy you would want to go with something heavy but light, and then u would want something automatic as a side arm. For example i would go with maby anything in the family of the m16 (ar15, m4,) because that would give a good fire rate and good power and as i side arm i would probobly go with and mp5k or an mp5 with a sliding stock topped with a knife and for transportation goes i would go with either a dirtbike or quad because u would be able to squeeze through obsticals (buildings, woods, crowds of zombies) and they would go fast which is bottomly what u need" You would also get better gas mileage. The only problem with a bike is that everyone (most people) will put it down (crash) once or more in their life time, and it would suck if your day was at the wrong time in the wrong place. In addition, you are more exposed and will be ripped off your bike or quad. It is better to have a hard cover 4x4 (no Jeeps with soft tops) and if it is a truck - a secured camper on the back to secure gear and to keep bad guys/Zombies from jumping in the back. Now if a motorcycle is your only bet, then you need to stay away from the Zombie horde.

so your in a base the is imperturbable by the undead but the amount of them is growing by the day you have limited supplies in your base and figure you should start taking out some of these. after wasting 100 rounds of ammo on these undead you realize how ineffective it really is, you kill one 5 more show up. so you get an idea explosives. so you get back up to your sniping post with 30 of them in different size and type. After using about 10 of them you realize that the burring flesh reminds you of food, something that the human body needs to survive but you are out of. you then have created a large fire attracting every undead in the area. so now how effective was that? Are explosives worth it?

This, is a little safer then the homemade shrapnel grenade post I tried to make.... Homemade weapons seem like they can be handy in a pinch. Although, when I look at some of the homemade firearms, they seem a little tricky to pull together..... Why don't you post some schematics or concepts behind some weapons. I think that a device that fired CD's, it could do some serious damage. I don't see how it would work, mechanical know how has never been my forte. It just seems as though you sharpened some CDs and loaded them into some kind of weapon that fired them using like a throwing arm or something and aim it at a zombie's head, it could probably do something if it was going fast enough. Comments? Suggestions? Ideas? Witty remarks? Wrong answers?

"Politics are best left at the door, please. If you really want to fight the laws, pressure your elected officials to change them." Gun laws are political. It is basic conservatives (sometimes known as Republicans) are for liberal gun laws-we should all follow the Constitution and be allowed to own and carry firearms. Liberals (mostly always Democrats) are for conservative gun laws, see PRC-East (I like that). The catch is each side knows gun laws is a loser if they screw with them they don't get reelected. The SCOTUS is going to hear a case in 2010 and it will likely come down on the side of the conservatives based on the 10th & 14th Amendments. Those who are pro gun can't lose in this one if they live in a pro gun state but if you live in PRC-E and it comes down 5-4 (go Kennedy the swing vote) you may be allowed to join the 40+ other states and own real firearms-in theory. The good part is of the nine Justices Ginsburg will probably not make it to the vote so at best 5-4 at worst 4-4 but for now the money is 5-4 Republicans. Sorry firearms laws are always political. I stayed nice and middle of the road, as far as the politics.

"agentaaa, you're starting to piss me off, here's why:
1)Don't state absolutes. Words like "will" are stating that 100% of the time that's how it will be, when you have no evidence to go by.
2) Even though ammunition would not be manufactured for a while, you must consider that most of the population would be dead, thus, calming the need for bullets.
3)Please do not restate obvious facts. OF COURSE it would be better to use 1 bullet instead of 50, I think anyone who has a computer has the capacity to understand that.
3) If you take 5 rounds to kill something, You should seriously consider using the sights on the gun. I just don't know how you could miss 5 shots." 1) you are correct, i was using some aboslutes, and i have little evidence, so i will accede that point to you 2) there will be a lot of bullets arond, but what will you be able to access? do you know who in your town has them? do you know which types will work with your weapons? How many people actually OWN bullets in your town. if there are 2000 bullets, and 16000 zeds in YOUR stockpile, you will want to conserve ammo. just because there will be a lot of dead people who own bullets, doesn't mean you will be able to access said bullets or find them, or even be able to use it. 3) Again, true. It seems patronizing in retrospect, and for that i apologize. 4) A) you put 3 twice, just pointing it out B) that was not the point. the point is, that if you cant hit something with a rifle, i doubt you will do much better with a machine gun.

I had a thought! After you've killed a zombie, don't just drop a one-liner, spit on the corpse and walk off into the sunset. Because think of this: Just because they're zombies doesn't mean they don't have anything useful. When people hear the news that zombies are about, they may decide, "I know! Maybe I will pack useful things in my pocket that could aid in my survival later on!" Or something along those lines. Ten minutes later they die, and a day after that, they die again by your gun. You may find all sorts of survival goodies in the pockets of your zombie victims! Of course, you may not need them if you are properly prepared. And don't rely on searching the pockets of dead zombies to obtain your survival arsenal. But it could prove to be useful!

k now i own 2 bows 1 recurve 20lb(practice)(PSE buckshot) and 1 hunting bow 70lb(compound)(PSE Rogue x). been practicing for awhile and im horribly accurate. 20yrds i can hit a 4in by 4in target no prob 30yrds i can hit a 10in by 10in no prob 40yrds now its getting harder to hit it with compound bow 10x10 50yrds k now the target is sort of invisible 10in x10in i can hit it but requires 1 min of concentration. anything beyound is like olympics or robinhood targets past this range is usually a volly aim. compound bow that shoots arrows at 320fps = 220mph+ can kill a zombie easy. its hitting it in the head while its moving thats hard. soo keep in mind my bow will break an arrow if missed.... if it was a hit id still loose my arrow cause gawd dam my bow is wicked strong and arrows just keep going. ive already broke 8 arrows, lost 6(arrows cost $8 each). ive already tryed to make an arrow catcher and my compound shoots through 40inches of stacked cardboard...... digging out arrows is a pain in the ass.all in all if i wanted silence bow is the way to go. tactical plan carry bow for silent kills and use the gun for crowd control. LOL GET A BOW THERE CHEAP! craiglist it! also most bow stores will teach u if ur a begginer for free! GET YO ROBIN HOOD ON!

"no offense torin, but i disagree on needing much training for a tomahawk... i think it acutally takes more training to kill with a knife, because often when you kill with a knife, the enemy bleeds out. a tomahawk can be weilded with sheer brute force as opposed to a knifes finess. if you cut a z's shoulder with a knife, it wont bother him at all, but if you hit it with a tomahawk, you have a good chance of pulverizing the bones or even amputating the limb. i would much prefer a tomahawk to a knife in any blade fighting situations" I do pre 1840 camping and one of the events we have is the Hawk competition. I'm pretty good at throwing and hitting a standing target but a moving target at 15' is too difficult for me to be accurate. Knives are pretty simple once you get how many rotations the blade will have at a distance. I am not as active with practicing as I would like to be, but if you set 2-3 hours aside just throwing the hawk at targets on a weekend you will get the hang of it. I have never used a hawk or a knife in a fight so it would not be my first pick.
