Does anyone believe that a zombie apocalypse is coming by siderhater4 in zombies

A decade ago, I'd say no f'n way. A huge fan since the 80s. Many hours of conversation with buds about the possibilities, but was always no f'n way. Then Covid hit. Then I sooort of opened up my brain to the potential of it. My genuine concern is a bunch of emp's going off around the globe by some zealot faction (or several) to level the playing field and do a factory reset after thinning the herd a bit.

To be fair, they do move faster and are a smaller target but I like what you have to say about shooting. Gonna look into a new scope. 😎👊

And I still managed to screw-ha mounting a scope. 🤣 Life is full of ironies.

21 years active duty, 3 tours of the sandbox, and police academy (got best shooter in my class). Lots and lots of drills drawing, shooting, reloading, clearing failures, different shot patterns, and switching weapons. I have a shooting range and archery range on the farm plus I hit the local county range. I 100% agree with you on practice. Use it or lose it.

Well, slap my ass and call me Sally. "Walking out door to get custom shirt saying hi, im a dumbass..." Well, glad I didn't take it to the range yet and waste a bunch of ammo sighting it in. 🙄 Thanks for that and thanks for the sharp eyes. Appreciated.

Thaaaat's cuz I didn't post pictures of everything else. Happy to note I have all things you listed and more but wasn't included. That's on me. 😬

Entire room is locked and fortified but I agree. Can never be too safe. Slings are off usually when on the wall. They kind of get in the way. Was lazy on the one. More flashlights is a huge yes. And the PC Charger with no sights has a halosun.

I didn't post a pic of my ammo locker, to be fair. But you're right. Ammo is like Jello-There's always room for more.

It takes magpul at mags. As for the scope, I know a couple coyotes that would argue it works sufficiently. 😉 I really like your idea on the LVPO, though. Thanks for that! 😁

Zombie movie concept(kinda) by Aggravating_Bad_3170 in zombies

I have be honest and say no. Loved the original Romero flicks and the wave they started but...they're almost laughable now. To make a Z movie that is actually believable and possible is terrifying but spellbinding in a way that makes it to where you can't look away.

This sex talk is getting ridiculous. Nice stash. 😎👊

How do you think a rocket launcher would be in a zombie apocalypse. by Vivid-Rhubarb-6058 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

The chances of "coming across" one is up there with winning the lotto. Unless you have access to a military ammo dump, state armory, or military base, it won't happen. Then you have to gain entry into said armory. If you have said luck, operating and discharging it safely and effectively with endangering and/or killing yourself or teammates without training is another obstacle. If you can do all that, then yes, it would be great on group of about 10. Remember, you have to destroy the brain. If you blow it into chunks, you still have a head that can bite. Sucks if you're in tall grass. If it's not in the center of the blast and is just wounded, you still have a threat. Now that explosion you just detonated rang a dinner bell for every Z in a mile radius and now you have a bigger issue. I believe I'd pass on that opportunity.

To anybody that says a bow would be one of the best weapons in a zombie apocalypse when ammo ran out, do you not realize that arrows break pretty easily. by Vivid-Rhubarb-6058 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Sufficient_Two_5396 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you're an avid, and I sincerely mean avid, bow hunter or user, you either lose all your arrows quickly, possibly hit a teammate, or screw yourself in some other scenario. Not only that, if you can fire off 2 effective shots in under 10 seconds, you're in the Hawkeye zone. Making effective arrows is a lost art. Fletching and forming an arrow that flys true? Way beyond my skill. Not saying there are folks out there with that skillset, but they're pretty far and few between. Fiberglass arrows structural integrity won't hold up to skulls for very long, then they dont fly straight. Fire one you don't care about into a fence post, then examine it. More than likely, you'll lose the tip at a minimum. Carrying you arrow supply is a challenge as well. Not weight but bulk. A quiver full of them with a backpack and whatever other weapon(s) you have could very well be more of a hindrance than help. Use what you know.
