While a .22 lacks the stopping power of some of the higher caliber weapons, it will work consistently enough to stop zombies that this minor drawback can be ignored in favor of its many advantages: range, accuracy, availability of ammunition, simplicity, and general versatility.

yeah the .22 doesn't have the power, a lot of the time, to exit the skull

so instead it kind of flips around in there scrambling shit up

i got world war z today, anyone else read this?

11/2/2006 6:42:06 PM

The important thing is to disable motor and/or sensory function; midbrain kills are a bonus. Basically, anything that would brainkill a normal human will kill a zombie.

I read World War Z, I highly recommend it if you're preparing for the zombie threat

btw I will sell it for $10 if any of you guys want it, it's $26 new

11/2/2006 10:04:13 PM

only if you autograph it!

Biggest thing has to be the weight of the ammo. Makes the .22 a must.

i got it today and went through about 50 pages, its great, i need more reading time

11/2/2006 10:16:12 PM

are silencers legal and acquireable?

11/2/2006 10:25:18 PM

Yes and yes, but it's a pain in the ass.

11/2/2006 10:25:47 PM

how so?

11/2/2006 10:34:46 PM

NFA.

on channel 10 they are talking about this

11/3/2006 12:30:31 AM

Hey guys, this is me down in Ecuador. Well, recently I have been eating cuy, fried guinea pig. I had the opportunity to eat its brain. Let me tell you--BRAINS TASTE LIKE MELTED CHEESE. I had to do it to research the enemy.

What do you say? Ecuadorian cheese is pretty bad so we might have to head to frigid Wisconsin. My girl gringa down here says that´s where the diary´s at.

11/14/2006 6:43:26 PM

nerdchick, i'll buy it!!

er, when i get back from sweden.

11/14/2006 6:46:18 PM

World War Z is an entertaining read

11/14/2006 8:19:33 PM

GO WITH THE MELTED CHEESE.

I say South America does not have a chance with a zombie invasion. You guys don´t know about the mega metropolises. I can´t imagine Quito in a zombie invasion. Spanish speaking Zombies.

ARRGHGH....VOY A COMER TU CEREBRO.

11/14/2006 10:23:18 PM

When those zombies come you will be loving the hummers........except for the constant stopping for gas and getting eaten...

11/14/2006 10:57:19 PM

so....when are the zombies coming?

11/15/2006 5:02:35 AM

for a melee weapon, i think i would prefer an aluminum baseball bat over anything with an edge (machete, sword, whatever). unless you're good at decapitations, there's some time lost trying to remove your blade from the festering skull of the undead--whereas with a baseball bat, it makes a nice PING! and rolls right off.

an aluminum baseball bat, while effective, would eventually break

go with a crowbar
it's a multi-tasker

This is my favorite thread on the wolfweb for it's its shear sheer silliness seriousness in preparing for the zombie threat inevitable worldwide zombie outbreak.

For a melee weapon against zombies, I think I'd want something like a snow shovel. Broad, flat head that can either slice or broadside them, and longer than a baseball bat, so I don't have to get within arm's length and risk being bitten. But judging from the movies, if you're within melee range of the zombies, chances are you've already lost.

11/18/2006 11:44:38 AM

that's too long and too single in purpose for me

[Edited on November 18, 2006 at 11:48 AM. Reason : you might dig it]

11/18/2006 11:47:56 AM

21 inch titanium crowbar

11/18/2006 11:50:52 AM

36" carbon steel wrecking bar is better

[Edited on November 18, 2006 at 11:55 AM. Reason : over a foot more reach and a flatter end for stabbing]

11/18/2006 11:54:52 AM

I wish I had a 36 inch titanium pry bar

the titanium is lighter weight and more durable than the steel

11/18/2006 12:12:35 PM

lighter weight doesn't always mean better

some tools are easier to use when they're heavy

11/18/2006 12:16:20 PM

when it comes to getting chased by the ravenous undead heavy shit kind of sucks

11/18/2006 12:29:41 PM

it's only 33% lighter i think

11/18/2006 12:46:23 PM

a shovel might not be too bad, but it would be a bitch to carry around with you. a crowbar would also be handy in that you could use it to pry open or smash shit, but the range isn't effective and it's also pretty heavy.

11/18/2006 1:30:36 PM

kevlar arm gloves would probably be handy

11/18/2006 1:33:45 PM

I read World War Z last week and I was very pleased with it, although he makes a few errors -- they'll rot faster than he describes, they probably won't come back from freezing, and they certainly won't live in droves at the bottom of the ocean.

Ahahaha, I remember that stuff. It's not so bad (beats the hell out of llama, anyway ). Didn't get to chomp on some brains, though.

For those of us in less-than-great shape, a heavy weapon is asking to get killed. A tamping iron will smash the brains of every zombie on the planet without being damaged in the least, but I don't think I could consistently and effectively wield one.

Obviously the best plan is to have more than one weapon on you, where feasible. Obviously the ideal would be some sort of firearm, followed by a heavy-duty, longer-reaching melee weapon, followed by the nitty-gritty: a crowbar or machete.

I'll reiterate, though, if you are ever in a situation where you have to kill a zombie, you've probably done something wrong.

11/18/2006 11:38:09 PM

But instead of a scope, mount a red dot or EOTech.

11/19/2006 1:12:27 AM

semi-auto is all you really need

auto is just going to waste your ammo and pretty much fail to get a headshot

I'd want a folding stock too so I could be accurate at a greater distance

11/19/2006 1:41:09 AM

Tavor-2 seems like it'd be an ideal weapon for zombies

[Edited on November 19, 2006 at 11:32 AM. Reason : d'oh]

11/19/2006 11:29:30 AM

the Tavor is fucking cool

here's what I can afford


here's a modified Ruger 10/22 with a folding stock

11/19/2006 1:02:09 PM

find preacher gary and shoot him in the face regardless of zombie status

11/19/2006 1:45:42 PM

picked one up at the gun show yesterday
now I just need a 10rd mag

11/19/2006 3:15:24 PM

Sometimes it won't even enter the skull. A kid I went to high school with shot both of his parents in the head witha .22 point blank and they both lived...true story.

11/19/2006 3:37:25 PM

someone give me a name and model number for that automatic shotgun in that video i posted

USAS-12 Automatic Shotgun


i bet that'd work nicely
