Air Guns?
May 30 2008, 3:16 PM EDT
I sorta like the idea of homemade guns. I don't need them, but for some people it seems like a really good option.
I do have to raise a question as to the praticallity. A hand-pumped marble gun? A .22 or 9mm is small, but a marble pushed out by hand pumped air? I'm sorry, but that isn't going to work very well.
As for the other guns, they're all very well, but I'd rather not screw around with making a gun (and I'm an explosives expert). Too much could go wrong.
A baseball bat would suit you better. Just saying.

You didint get the idea. I didint say that all of them have to be used against Undead. Marble-Gun would be useful against Raiders or other living hostiles Do you find this valuable?

I'm an explosives expert because I took a three year course on it. I understant that a lot of people aren't, but I am.
If you don't believe me, too bad.

Well i don't think that those weak air guns will be much help cause first you have to worry about zombies and than you should worry about Riders (Well i think that riders would have at least few REAL guns but how else would they survive out there, but its likely that their short of ammo, so you should be OK if you would have an defence against refuges and Riders too and you should have some secret spots where you can shoot riders if they try to dig a hole under the barricade...) or refuges who try to search for a place to hide and in the worst case of scenario they will try to pull your defences down without considering the possiblility that the zombies would come any second..

You got it wrong. I already replied that who says that they must be only used against zombies? Raiders is our enemy too.

Most raiders have real guns. Maybe after like six years, by which time gunpowder wouldn't be hard to find, these guns would be useful. The zombies, if they're slow, would be a much better bet for your air guns.

That doesn't mean it will kill someone. I've been shot with a marble before, it hurt horribly, but it didn't kill me. Maybe a headshot, and even then it wouldn't incapacitate a zed.
Nice, but paintball guns are made NOT to kill.

Goffers aren't zombies or humans.
On another note, I thought you meant golfers there at first.

Yeah, I guess.
It would only work if you had thirty or so ready to shoot at the zeds.
It's until, by the way.

hm, the marble gun COULD work, if you made it powerfull enough. It dosent have to penetrate, just hit hard. Though I dont think it would really work, still, you could always make it and try it on a zombie if you were desperateXD
Me personally, I got a really powerfull airgun. Takes like a whole minute to pump, but it would be like how pirates used to do it. Get a few guns and strap them to themselvesXD
It would be worth a test try, and if it didnt work I could just bash there heads in with it

Why not use a regular manufactured air rifle?

40 calibre and 50 calibre rounds are fairly hard to stop, and they do a lot of damage.

Those rifles taken on the Lewis and Clark expedition could fire ten rounds on one charge.
