With ammo prices being the highest ever today, plus 2 wars going on over seas eating up all production, people hording, and demand/production at it's max you have to buy in bulk because tomorrow or months down the road their is non to be had on the shelf to buy. And the price seems to be going up every other day/month.

I usually keep so much on hand for you never know, plus the fact I don't want to have to spend time and a small fortune to replenish it. The rest I use at the range to practice and plink. But I never dip into my SHTF reserve.

Right now if I had to use every round I had, that would mean I could take out several thousands of zombies.

Never ever seen it this bad when you go into a gun store and they limit how many boxes you can buy like 4-6 no matter the round count in them when you tell them you'll buy it all and have the cash to do so. And forget buying a case in store they flat out refuse on the more popular calibers.

.44 magnum that's a expensive caliber and not too many people buy guns that use it.

I stock up on 9mm, 45 acp, 00 buck shot and slugs, and 5.56 or .223

The shotgun works because it's easier to blow the whole head apart, in one shot making it easier to destroy the brain. If you miss the head at least you can knock them on the arse for a second to buy some time. In most movies etc, you see a perfect headshot on the move to the brain from a amateur when you know it's a face/head shot but no a direct shot to the brain. Or it skirts along the skull and misses the brain. So some nice 00 buck shot will make up for the lack of skill or aiming in most cases.

lawl.... wait.... the ithaca uses 12 gauge and not 10, right? why go for a .45ACP when you can feel the simple powah of the .38 S&W sevice revolver? btw... did they find some crescent speedloaders or individual bullets for that revolver?

Wish you guys lived near me so I know where to run to incase of a zombie outbreak. DX I feel like a sitting duck where I live. Kinda.

Ha!

Too bad I don't have a huge rack, a huge ass and a pretty face cause... you know being a guy and all.

Zeker the ithica is a 12 gauge, but they don't really make them that much anymore it died off in the late 60's when remington came and took control of the market with their 870 model.

As for the 45 acp I hope your joking. I mostly own 9mm's but have one 45 acp, that's why I have that caliber on hand.

Our hero's they only had one S&W model 37 air weight. They took it off a dead cop, the other one they found was griped too tightly to remove it from the body so they popped the cylinder and took the ammo. Very smart on Rei's part.

For a total of only 10 rounds. Takashi used about 5 rounds, and Asami used the remaining 5 when they gave it to her.

Still you think the cops would have had 2 spare speed loaders for a total of 15 rounds each. But being Japan and all not too many instances where you need a gun and extra ammo for it. Unlike here in the USA where guns are readily available and you never no how big a shoot out can get.

Dude. Crossbow. Clip size = 1. One shot before reload. You get off one shot, hopefully killing one zombie, then get swarmed by the other 999 zombies while trying to reload. If they are 25m away, you might get five shots off, given that zombies typically move slow. Not nearly the number of shots you will have time for with any small arms. That's really all there is to it. Also, I have no clue why you're suddenly talking about barrel length when quoting me? Lol.

There are actually auto-loader crossbows. Of course being semi-auto of sorts the pullback on the elastic mechanism isn't as tight as manually pulling it back but it works.

[-Sho-]

You guys are lucky to get some weapons In my country weapons are forbidden , so that why i'll use only melee weapon . I have 1 katana (not a real which cut everything) , some long knife , a spear , an iron rod , ball , some pans well everything that you can use in a house ^^ (can i use my TV too ? )
Hmm , not only melee weapon , as hunter have the right to use rifle , my father got 2 rifles
I can also check my friends who work in Army ^^

Didn't know about that. But the Wildcat C5 (the one in the manga) doesn't seem to be this kind of model, from looking at the specs and pictures of it.

lol I think that goes for alot of house holds, it's about all I got here.

I'd have to go raid my nearest hardware store for a nail gun for something with a little more kick.

I'll say it again but I think a lightsaber would be best for zombie slaying

[-Sho-]

pretty much screwed are we ?

I forgot the electric drill i'll drill Zombie's head even though it'll take 10 min to kill him

Actually in a zombie attack, a melee weapon would be more useful than a gun would. No sound is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, in a HOTD scenario, where zombies react to sound, a melee weapon would be better.

[kujoe]

Well, that depends on the situation.

There's still the risk of getting bitten when using a melee weapon, and all it takes is one bite.

The best solution? Ninjas.

Quick search reveals it is done by the artist of the manga but whether it's actually offical or something he felt like drawing up in his spare time who knows.

Ah thanks, I was wondering about it because It didn't seem like fanart. I couldn't find it on pixiv or elsewhere
