"In my opinion, developping any form of reliance on firearms is a very bad habit to develop for anyone planning to survive long term in a zombie apocalypse. Regardless of how much ammo you have in store, it won't be long until you run out, and are reduced to either spending most of your time looking for more or using melee. The only acceptable setting to use firearms in my opinion is during the transitional period right after the outbreak, which will be nessesary for you to adapt. Keep in mind bullets are no longer being produced. Each shot you fire is one less in the very finite amound of ammo left."

" So instead of relying on guns what do you suggest we rely on?

I don't know exactly how much ammo I have but I figure easly around 10,000 rounds in different calibers
With some ammo like .22 is very easy and cheap to stockplie, I bought most of mine when I was paying around $13 per 500 even now not that much more so really no reason you should have at least a couple 1000 22s

Now do you really think you are going to better survive all the situation where you have used up even these couple 1000s shots by using other weapons? Are you going survive these multiple cases better by using a bow, sword, spear or what ever? Of course not.

I personaly don't think a gun person will be shooting as much as many here seem to think they will be...it's not going to be like the military where 100['s of shots are expended.
Instead just having the threat of a gun will probably be enough to prevent most trouble with people.

I think other things such as a bow or traps should be there to supliment your firearms but to say you shouldn't rely on a gun is just kind of goofy "
