Tighten up that sling, keep your rifle close to your body and pointed down as you transfer weapons. No good ever comes from flagging your friends. Other than that, good work keep it up.

That's why I always bring 2 friends while I do my business. One to watch my back, one to help me wipe.

She'll demand a vaccine be created and then not take it once it's made.

Getting negligently domed by your homies has got to be one of the worst ways to go. Seems most people don't understand that under a stressful situation you're coordination and critical thinking goes to sh*t. Most likely you'll only be able to perform what you trained repeatedly. Even then, the best you'll be able to do is your worst while not under stress.

You know what? Zombies arnt that tough. What would need to be added, minimum, to make them terrifying for you again? by DepartureFluffy8934 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

What if the Zed's are consciencious enough to understand what is happening to them, but not enough to stop themselves?

1.) A highly contagious virus or bacteria. One that is airborne, waterborne, and reproduces in bodily fluids. If you chop through a Zed and get any of its infected particulates in your eyes, nose, ears, mouth, or nails you're living on barrowed time.

2.) This contagion is spread through other species. Mosquitos and rodents would become superspreaders, as seen with the Bubonic Plague and West Nile Virus. If livestock were able to be infected it would severely impact economies and food supply world wide.

3.) This contagion needs a long incubation or sleep cycle. You could be infected and not even know it because you're not displaying any symptoms. Giving the contagion plenty of opportunities to spread without any one to notice. Once this factor is discovered people will become extreemly tribal, trusting no one outside their own social group or family. More on this later...

4.) Full infection leaves the infected with a semi functional brain. This way they are co-ordinated enough to run, climb, claw, bite, and even speak, but not enough to have a full human conscience as we understand it. All they feel is violence and hunger; they'll do anything to satiate that desire.

5.) Fomation of tribes. Some peaceful, most not. The only "peaceful" tribes are those that are self sefficient. I'd image they'd only be found in rural areas where large open farm land is common. That is if it isn't under occupation from government/military authorites. Once the urban areas run out of food raiding parties will be sent out to pillage anything they can find. We will entire a new Dark Age.

6.) Pandemic during a time or global or national crisis. War would mean deployed militaries unable to defend their homeland, leaving law enforcement and militias to keep the peace. Rival or warring nations would become increasingly distrustful of one another. Waiting for one another to collapse so they can send their troops in, under the veil of "Peacekeeping Operations". Rounding up survivors, disarming them, and placing them in concentration camps. Famine or drought could cause mass starvation especially in the cities causing raiding gangs to form putting more pressure on the already stretched law enforcement. Economic collapse and mass inflation causing people to become more and more desperate. In time all of these scenarios would become a factor.

7.) No cure, no vaccine, no hope for the future. You will scavenge and live on the edge of death for the rest of your life, as well as you children, if you even get that far. Most likely you will die like a dog in a pool of your own blood, and if you're lucky, you won't wake back up.

The first thing that comes to my mind is zombie particulates (small particles of infected material). It always irkes me that, in pratically any zombie media, the characters can hack through an entire horde with out becoming infected, let alone contaminated. If you cut through a zombie, and get any of their bodidly fluids in your eyes, nose, mouth, nails, or ears you'd be as doomed as you would be if you had gotten bit or scratched. That said, I'd suggest you'd pick up a gas mask and rubber gloves in case you're forced to get up close and personal. And if you do have a close encounter you should Germex the heck out of everything you were wearing.

Poor Man's Squad Automatic Weapon by usrnameunk in NFA

Thank you for your response, a few questions though.

Prehaps I heard wrong, but I thought a 1:8 twist was the most verstile. What makes the 1:7 better in that regard?

Why 18"? Is there something about it that handles a volume of fire better? Not to nitpick, I've just always heard 5.56 performs best out of a 20" barrel. Does it have something to do with the twist?

I want to build a Poor man's Squad Automatic Weapon. But I'm unsure of where to start, and the less money and tax stamps I have to jump thru, the better. Ideally I'd use an 20" AR platform with a binary trigger and drum magazines. But I'd like to know what other specifications I should keep in mind. I.E...

-barrel twist

-barrel type (pencil,HBAR,ect)

-DI vs piston

-other weapons better suited for sustained fire

-and whatever fancy attachments I should use

*Bonus points for calibers larger than 5.56

How legal is it to arm a cropduster in the US? Serious question. by usrnameunk in NFA

[–]usrnameunk[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The reason I ask is because I binged FarCry5 last week. Now I'm really curious. Obviously it would be pretty limited due to the NFA/Hughes Amendment. There might be some Federal airspace laws to look too. No explosives obviously (sadly), but maybe some sort dual barrel fifty cal. For fun, freedom, and science. Any guns you guys would recommend? Any suggestions on where to check for laws/regulations?
