"Indeed. Some just shoot like ass, regardless of what ammunition is put into it. The biggest limitation with these rifles (at least that I've found) is their sights --- they're clearly not intended for precision shooting. If you're shooting a 4"-5" group at 100 yards with those irons, you're doing a damn good job. Any less is pretty much miraculous with a Soviet Mosin. I have fired ~2" 100 yard groups on the irons of an Ex-PU, but that's not an everyday occurrence - I've done it ten times, tops.

That said, the Finn rifles are a different breed altogether. In my opinion, the Finnish M39 is one of the best bolt action rifles of the era, competing favorably with the finest bolt rifles issued anywhere else.

It's like a custom shop Mosin-Nagant. They took standard Soviet polygonal receivers, bolts, box magazines and triggers and fine tuned the living crap out of them. They slapped heavier Tikka, Sako, and Belgian-made barrels on 'em, then put put really good irons on them. The stocks are pretty good - fit and finish being on par with even the period Swiss Karabiners. To literally top it off, the FInns issued them with excellent bayonets.

Occasionally, these M39's can even be purchased without any FFL, because the receiver used is an early Russian M91 receiver. If the receiver was manufactured before 1899, it qualifies as an antique arm, and does not need an FFL01 or C&R."

thanks for the info LJ126 i think i'll have to keep my eye out for one ! lol the fins make damn good vodka it naturally follows that they would make a damn good sounding gun.

A typical rager (28 Days Later style) would actually only survive for a short time if they were classic "infected" with no sense of self-preservation. The only water they would get would be by accident (falling into freshwater or rain falling into their open mouth) or what they get from eating a body; a rager that only wishes to kill and doesn't consume its victims would survive for an even shorter time, as it wouldn't get any food.

Add to that the possibility of infection from wounds and the ability to gradually die from blood loss or injuries instead of simply soldier on for weeks with a missing torso like a typical zombie, and after about a week or less the infected would be suffering badly from malnutrition, dehydration, and any injuries or illnesses they suffered. If they don't sleep, that's even worse for them.

Far from being automatons or guided missiles on legs, they're exactly what they seem like: a man who forgoes all needs for simple killing. How long do you think YOU would last if you completely ignored food, water, pain, fatigue, and illness to beat, claw, and bite people to death forever?

However, this all assumes that the virus (being the most scientifically plausible) does nothing but incite this rabid rage into its victims and truly causes them to forgo all needs. It's perfectly possible that they would have enough intelligence to seek out food and water (an even more improbable mutation would let them gain sustenance and energy from other sources) and even be dissuaded by pain or have simple problem solving abilities.

The most dangerous zombie is the one that is truly animalistic.

I think the best advantage the Internet would provide is in case of a slow-moving virus; it very visibly appears and takes time to spread instead of the classic "Suddenly ZOMBIES" scenario from movies, giving people plenty of time to discuss the virus before it reaches their home. If not to coordinate their movements, then to allow for research to be consolidated and information posted in a public forum.

The big problem there is separating good information from the bad. Imagine trolling during a zombie apocalypse....

Thread locked. Pointless and appeas to be flaming. Also, given that there's a request to end the membership...

I think they will dehydrate just like a living person/corpse, if you deprive them of sustenance, they wither and decay. This is my main reason for holing-up and waiting out an apocalypse.
