Re: Zombie Apocolypse
But by diversifying, you can prolong how long it takes to run out of ammo, no?

Re: Zombie Apocolypse
30,000 rounds of ammo is 30,000 rounds of ammo, doesn't matter what caliber it is. Be a real bitch to find out in your haste to bug out that you brought 100 lbs of 7.62x39 ammo and all you have are AR's and AR mags :24:

Re: Zombie Apocolypse
But, say you only have gun X... and when gun X ammo runs out, you go to raid a store... and find out the only ammo left on the shelves is for A, B, and C guns

Re: Zombie Apocolypse
And that is one reason to ensure you have something in a common/popular caliber
Or you just make sure you have something in every caliber so no matter what ammo you find you can still shoot it

Re: Zombie Apocolypse
Joe raises a good point though... I think you should have multiple types of guns, but only carry one type of gun + ammo on you whenever you go on a raid, to avoid the whole "loading the wrong bullets" scenario.

Re: Zombie Apocolypse
I have never loaded the wrong bullet.
But I guess it can happen, maybe with like .380 and 9mm. The gun still shouldn't fire though. Although I probably wouldn't bother with 380 against Zombies anyways
Multiple guns are good though but really just bother with a few in the more standard calibers with an ample supply of ammo for them. Carry a a sidearm in either 9mm, 40 or 45, and either a 12 gauge riot gun or a more long range firearm in a standard military or hunting caliber. Maybe a 22 for hunting rabbits or something. Anything more than that, and yer just showing off. Oh but dont forget the machete.
After that runs out...if you find a warehouse full of surplus 7.62 x 51 ammo, I am sure you will be able to find a firearm for it. The US has somewhere around 300 million firearms in civilian hands, add in the military arms, and I am sure you will not have a problem 'scavenging' firearms and ammo for quite sometime.
I guess those that live in the less free parts of the world though will have to resort to throwing sharpened sticks or something. :usa:
Oh....and something like this would be nice too.

Ha. No. I only take it out when going mudding in the woods...or camping.

Re: Zombie Apocolypse
I wouldn't dismiss the effectiveness of household items and desperation/imagination off so easily.
& sharp sticks can kill you just as dead as a 50 cal
and given the choice I'll take a head shot from a 50 then falling on the Punji stick.
I'm not saying the weapon isn't better to have, but don't feel invincible if you have them.
