Hey gun nuts, is this your idea of a perfect society?

[fb360]

All lies, as has been proven time and again, the ultimate anti-zombie weapon is the 12 gauge shotgun.

The AA12 would be a dominant zombie weapon.

The AA12 would be a dominant zombie weapon.

Yes it would! But only if you wish to attract more zombies that is.

Attract them to their re-death-ification.

Real zombie killers wield chainsaws.

Nah man, machete and shotgun.

Chainsaw holds the risk of easily injuring ones own self when trying to stop the subhumans from consuming your flesh.

Machete is getting pretty close.

I would use a katana or another type of sword which does not dull, and have my shotgun for large group bustings. That or some type of electrocution weapon which recharges

This is a third world country and typical of how they treat their citizens. Arm them to go fight or militant groups fighting their government.
It's not some sort of gun collectors vision of a perfect world.

Wonder what the deal with the white doll is?
That kid looks pretty stoned.

This one is my favorite. Thanks for cropping it out.

I think this dude is a zombie risen up by VooDoo incantations.

a chainsaw is very much in my survival kit for when the zombies arrive (although not so much for killing zombies (too much danger of spray of bodily fluids))

i've got my own shillelagh which is more than effective at delivering head wounds and much less likely to get stuck in the skull of zombies than a machette

as to the chainsaw i've watched too many videos of people on youtube with their surival kit with pansy arsed saws expecting to beable to build a house out of them i want to be properly prepared whet the shit hits the fan

Oh fucking god I want an RPG.

one hit wonder that will just bring more zombies to you

have you never planned this stuff before?

If you really want something that'll really make you a super-survivor...invent a practical, semi-auto crossbow.

OK I'll nibble. What make/model speakers?

People like to make fun of them, but they're very good speakers. They just use weird drivers, so only the Logitech Z-5500 pod can work as the "receiver." The response is great. Nearly as good or better in some areas than top of the line Energy Speakers.

It's really too bad I can only feed S/PDIF coax, I'd love to hook up a real receiver and listen to some DTS-HD MA.

I invited a friend who had some Klipsch speakers he paid several thousand for. Both fed S/PDIF. He had to admit my sub was way better.

and a moped is a motorcycle...

AR's are a triumph of design over engineering, they have too many concessions to the foolishness of 1960's military doctrine to be really effective at what they pretend to be,, which is a weapon of war.

Cartridge Chambering: the 5.56 nato cartridge is aa high velocity low mass plinking round better suited to varmint shooting and target competition than the serious business of killing people. i would not like to be shot with one, but if i had to choose one round to get hit by, the 5.56 nato would be a lot better choice than getting shot by a .308 of a .50BMG.

"Recoil Buffer": dude... who needs a spring loaded recoil reducer with a mild ass round like the .223? answer: pansies.

Tacticool Accessories: useless fripperies

Plastic: Plastic Parts Are Made For Toys.

Light Weight: Too delicate to be used as a club, too light to serve as a a butt stroker, and too short to be effective as a bayonet shaft.

Fragile Construction: if you drop it or hit somebody over the head with it, you have no weapon any more. brilliant.

Dust And Sand: when you open the hatch to make it ready for use, you make it vulnerable to failure from small amounts of dirt and debris.

Gas Tube Action: the kalashnikov's long piston gas mechanism doesnt freeze up in the cold, bung up with grease mud sand or crud, and doesnt corrode from the inside until it suddenly fails without warning. gas tubes are more rube goldberg complexity for the sake of having "Clean Lines" and "Edgy Futuristic Design"

Final Analysis: The AR series is designed to look cool, and engineering took a distant second place. AR's are the iMac of guns, shiny plastic and modern looks concealing serious engineering faults and compromises for the sake of appearance

kalashnikovs are a finely hone battle implement who would only suffer from a slightly anemic round and generally loose chamberings.

hey some soldiers have their complaints about the gun and its round but its been getting shit done for us for years and years now!

what type of blade does not dull?

the silly fetishization of japanese style swords is really getting out of hand.

japanese swords can chip on human bone, they are not magically sharp, and they do get dull.

in defense against your classic brain eating Romero type zombie a mace or iron/bronze bound club or similat fast and BLUNT weapon is your best choice, in conjunction with a shield. the zed cannot bite you if you keep your shield between he and thee.

katanas are and continue to be a duelist's weapon, requiring great skill and finesse to use effectively. performing aido with a shinken is exhausting, doing it with a slavering horde of the walking dead on your trail is ridiculous. plus i doubt they will politely line up to only attack you one at a time and accommodatingly, when slain by your brilliantly executed precise moves, attempt to fall to an off camera location to ensure that principle photography is not hampered by the corpses of the dispatched corpses.

but im certain the final combat will take place on a high bluff overlooking a raging sea, with the salt spray adding a feeling of depth and drama.
the last zombie will naturally fall to a perfectly executed strike, and remain standing for several seconds before splitting in half in a gratuitous spray of blood.
your hair and kimono will still be perfect as you silently walk off into the distance just as the first rays of dawn illuminate your path to your next adventure.

fin.

You forgot the dramatic shower of cherry blossom petals as a dramatic breeze wafts through post-combat.

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Wtf? How dare you Doc! The true katana is made from the bone of a fierce dragon which was slain by hordes of elite ninjas. Nothing on this planet is stronger or sharper. You just aren't true of spirit and the katana rejects you.

 

[Dr Kynes]

If you really want something that'll really make you a super-survivor...invent a practical, semi-auto crossbow.

crossbows? sharp force trauma and puncture wounds do not put the somnambulist to rest, if you want something quiet fast and effective, a silenced 22 would be a better choice.

a good choice is a 22lr long barreled bolt action rifle. mine makes a PoP! i ferequently shoot is in my back yard in town, and while it sounds like a bb gun it is an effective accurate firearm for all manner of small game and irritating raccoons/possums/squirrels

my raging seacoast setting is classic kurasawa, the cherry blossom benediction is mainly found in cartoons.

Actually katanas if I remember correctly had a specialized plating on the edge that has a high tensile strength and hardness. The material formed what looked like sharks teeth at microscopic levels, which were found to be self sharpening. Furthermore, on top of that, the hardening, tempering and annealing process led to a blade that had a ductile core and a very brittle but hard edge.

If you know anything about material engineering, which you don't, you would know that metals with an RC hardness of about 56+ do not dull. They merely shatter, chip or fail if over stressed.

I ask you a very primitive material engineering question: How does a steel bandsaw blade cut the same steel material with no problem, over and over?
The answer is a steel blade that has a hardness sufficiently great.

I don't disagree that a blunt weapon would also suffice however

hey some soldiers have their complaints about the gun and its round but its been getting shit done for us for years and years now!

"getting shit done" and "Keeping you alive" are the MINIMUM any soldier can demand from his issued weapon.

doing the minimum to get by and never exceeding expectations is not the path to success.

aluminium receivers and a too-complex delicate mechanism which requires too frequent service is a flaw, the AR series of weapons are only acceptable when your forces have the logistical advantage. when the shit gets heavy and you have to call up the militia the AR is not nearly as Loser Friendly" as the Kalashnikovs and it's certainly not the best choice for a peasant levy on the long retreat to stalingrad.

the AR's dont suck, but for extended use in rough conditions without the readily available services of an armorer and plenty of spare parts, the AK's have no equal
