"I can't speak for Springatron but I found most of the weapons section to be misinforming.
1. He states that a crossbow can put a bolt through a zombie's head at over a quarter of a mile. Thats 440 yards....its hard to get a bullet on a 6x6 target a 440 yards. At most with a really good $600+ xbow you're talking about 60-70 yards on a stationary target.
2. He says xbows are silent...they aren't. They make a fairly loud thunk sound that verges on .22lr volume.
3. He says you can't put a bayonet on an M16 because the rifles so "Frail". Tell that to the 3 preban AR15s I have sitting in my safe with bayonet lugs on them.
4. He states that the M1 carbine is still in production in 2003. They actually stopped producing them in 1945 but continued to use them through Vietnam. They're actually one of the harder C&R rifles to get your hands on for a decent price. The only ones I know of in the market right now is a batch that just got returned from Italy that nobody wants because they're in such crappy condition with a price tag bordering on ridicules. There are also companies that make reproductions but again the prices are nuts for the performance you're going to get out of that rifle.
5. He states that almost all older military rifles were designed for hand to hand combat...not true. He then states that you have to use proper technique in melee combat or you'll just end up breaking the rifle. I find that funny since that also applies to the M16 which he already said can't be used in melee combat. It can be used in melee you just need to use the proper technique.
Theres more but im running out of space :)
Also his supply lists are very vague and laughable to anybody thats ever been on any kind of extended hike/backpacking trip.
Luckily its got "Humor" stamped on the back of it so I went into it expecting to be entertained not informed and in that respect it's a pretty good book.

"I still think the Zombie survival gudie has alot of good information at least it has the biology down and you can use the thinking process to find a good weapon for your self. Plus it gets people out of movie strategies to survive. I for one had a resedent evil strategy till The Guide now i'm constantly re-thinking the idea of survival. "
