"The M109A3 is a damn stout truck but lacks the speed and agility of the smaller Scout Armet and while it is possible to pick one up on the cheap (i've seen them go for as little as $4,500) rehabbing one can be a b!tch and costly, if you were going to do it though, I'd throw a cow tipper on it, because what ever you can't go around your gonna have to go through"

"I've heard guys in medieval reenactment organizations disparage the crossbow for exactly the opposite reason. "

"I want to get a gunbelt and a simple H-harness to help hold it in place. Other than a holstered handgun, spare mags on weak side, ammo pouch for rifle, flashlight, knife, canteen, etc, the bulk of the kit would reside in the buttpack. The buttpack would be a small (but comprehensive) survival kit, with nav gear and a small trauma kit.

"Oh I quite agree, 30 rounds will not necessarily equate to thirty kills no matter the weapon, and swapping a mag isn't really a downside, but you would hypothetically have to swap mags three times to fire sixty rounds out of a 15 round glock (assuming that you started with a full mag in the gun). I would only have to swap my 30 round mag once to fire the same sixty rounds. Now I know that having to fire sixty rounds within the context of a single gunfight is unlikely, but in an outbreak scenario where you could be attacked by a horde, it's not impossible. In an worst-case-situation engagement against massive numbers of zeds, less mag changes is better, is all I'm trying to say.

Now yes, you can carry your glock holstered with a 15, then swap to the 30 after the 15 is empty, but still, having a weapon that can be holstered with a 30 rounder already in place can't be a bad thing."

"Just use a crossbow for ranged. It requires absolutely no actual training to use, it's silent, and the bolts are reusable."

"You should look up the mutated strain of Malaria that was discovered in Cambodia. Read the article and it might change your mind on the possibility of Zeds."
