Ah yes, the Lancer Assault Rifle...

Depends on what zombie movie. Romero's original "Night of the Living Dead" centered around a Marlin/Glenfield model 60 tube fed 22. But, those zombies could barely even walk.

Seems like more modern movies like "Resident Evil" seem to require heavier and more firepower and that's not even talking about end of level bosses (wouldn't that suck in real life!) That axe wielding mutant in RE Afterlife took a lot of bullets to take down!

hmm...and I don't even have a tactical boss load out...

(if only it took 15-22 mags)

15/22 ???? Somebody try'in to save the meat or hunt after dark?

Its fake, from the Gears of War game

there is a gentleman in Colorado who is working on a functioning version!!! he hasnt posted ANY pics online because he is afraid of somebody ripping off his idea....and it is going to use a 10/22 to feed it...from a drum magazine turned 90 degrees

he has been working on it since 2008 when Gears of War 2 came out....i will forward the info when it is finished

The GoW gun posted above is built on a Tiberius T8 pistol (magazine fed paintball marker, owned one a couple years back).


If headshots are the only thing that will knock them out of the fight a .22 would do just enough damage to kill one. Don't forget if the velocity falls down to low but still penetrates the Walker's skull it will rattle around in the skull and turn it into even more mush.

However it all depends on the type of zombies. "Rage" infested or fast movers like 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead (remake) Day of the Dead, The Walking Dead, etc. then something with knock down power would be more ideal. An AK74, 6.8 M4 SBR, shotgun would be ideal.

On the other hand, Shaun of the Dead and older zombie movie zombies that are slow moving and quite sluggish in all movements would simply need a well placed .22LR to the dome and its over.

This is all IMO.

Hey if anyone wants a copy of The Zombie Survival Guide. I have it in .pdf format, PM me your email and I will send it to you.

This thread single-handedly inspired my range trip this morning.



If zombies were coming at me from 60ft away, I think I'll be OK



PS - This zombie kind of looks like Hugh Laurie

I gotta zomb lower on my AR hehe

My personal thoughts are there is no perfect answer. 15-22 is a good dual purpose weapon in this scenario because it can be used for zombie killing and small game hunting(i have seen deer taken down with a .22lr).

I have carried a combat load of 5.56 and would say for a long lasting answer it would be hard to carry the hundreds of rounds needed for long term survival.

Me and the wife both have SIGs for personal defense but even carring a large amount of ammo would be hard. ( i have a P220 and she has a P239 in 9mm)

My neighbors and i talked about this last night and can to the conclusion tha a 5.56 or 9mm would be great because of the ammo available at ghost military bases.

I would have my .22 with me no matter what!!

My thoughts

the only advantage i can see is eventual reloadability for the 5.56/.223....no matter what i would have a .22 with me preferably with a suppressor as well

i did some rough calculating today and in daypack i can fit roughly 6000 rounds of .22LR and still shoulder it--its heavy but not bulky--try that with .223s

also the long term upkeep on a .223 would be a bit more intensive--and there is also the fact that most hardware/sporting goods/ gun stores will be picked clean for large-caliber ammo...the lil 22s will get skipped over at first

It needs to be placed a little farther out on the 15-22, but this looks like it might work in a last ditch QCB.

That's possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life. If you are going to put a bayonet on your shotgun, which is completely ridiculous, at least make sure it extends past the muzzle.

Zombies are mesmerized by the beam of a green laser at night. I like to relax on the back deck in the evening with a cold adult beverage... and just wait to hear the pitter-patter of zombie feet walking to the laser... BANG!

.30-40 Sporterized Krag. Browning Auto Five (16 or 12) with Breneke Slugs.

The Krag handles loose round better. My hand will probably be shaking.

One shot does all.

I'm surprised this thread is still active, the last Zombie weapon thread was shut down almost immediately because it was "another Zombie thread".

Maybe it was shut down because I posted pics of the most awesomest Zombie eradicator ever! Let's try it again...oh it's got to be 5.56 all the way for aerating Zombie skulls as it works both close and far.

markush... that is excellent !

LOL I just never could evolve into the tacticool era, guess its just old age

22 long rifle barely penetrate the skull of beaver taken from traps fired from a 10/22, i put little faith in one.

Maybe he likes to get them in a little too close for comfort

None of you all must have seen Zombieland. If its good enough for Woody, its good enough for me...

+1 for ZOMBIELAND

I was going to say the same thing, except mine is in .40 S&W...

I agree with the Undead Report for Anti-Zombie weapon of choice:

The AA-12 automatic shotgun

True, it's not available at your LGS, but I'm hoping that a semi-auto version will be offered soon (if not already).

you mean this gun, haha this guy who does these reviews is awsome.

AA-12 Fully Automatic Shotgun!!! - YouTube

We don't have a smiley in our list that fully conveys the pleasure I had watching that video!

you wanted a semi auto shotgun :
Saiga 12 VS cars (20 rounds magazine) - YouTube

And although I love my 15-22, if there is a zombie infestation, i'll be packing my saiga

I personally think the 15-22 is a good choice for Z-day. Its lightweight and you can place numerous goodies on it. Plus the ammo is lightweight as well. I would prefer to have lots of small caliber rounds then few larger caliber rounds. I have about 5000 in each of my bug out bags. One key factor is that the 15-22 looks like a .223 rifle from the front. If you run into raiders they might think twice about doing something based on the look of the rifle. Just my two cents and yes I have put a lot of thought into this. If your ready for Z-day then your ready for anything.

If zombies take over the planet i'm not grabbing a .22 i'm grabbing my s&w model 686 .357 magnum revolver with a 4 inch barrel.

Um, ok. In that hypothetical situation, how would you respond to these "raiders" when they realize you're packing a 22LR, pull out their 5.56 ARs and start landing accurate hits on you from 300+ meters?

couldn't help it, it's one of my favorite movies!

Man, with Zeds you gotta destroy the brain integrity and a .22 LR isn't gonna penetrate the skull at far enough range to avoid getting splashed with Zombie Virii!, you need stand off distance and skull shattering power! 50-grain hollow point .223 in an S&W OR with a Leupold combat 4x sight, minimum!
Geoff
Who doesn't do that Zed fiction, that's the wife's area of expertise.

The recoil is not there, which means your gonna be more accurate. That being said, shoot them in the eyes and nose.. The "T" zone and BAMB, dead Zombies... Kukri for back up.Mr sig's P226 and his 46 friends of 9mm."i have th 18 rnd mags" I personaly like my sks.. 30 caliber and little recoil.... not a light gun, but it has a Bayonet already attached.. how much better can that get? Oh i have the tapco 20rnd mags and after 500 rounds there still working great. tough mags.

Its gonna have to be the 44 mag. low capacity yes but most nock down power ive ever seen with a hand gun and when you run out of bullets you got a heavy duty billy club till ya get more rounds. Back up.... The trusty 9 mm hollow point 147 grain aka. The mellon popper! As far as rifles go. The ar 15 everytime. And any gauge shotty is handy for close and personal..... Just aim high!

I would want something with a bit more bang.
A 22 probably wouldn't destroy the brain.
I'd take an 870 with some Bolo Shot.
And a hi cap 226.

I will use my AK-47. I have lots of rounds, and its accurate enough. For up close work Rem 1100.

Wonder if Hornady will make a .22lr version

If I could only have three guns and lots of ammo and mags.

@ redbos:
good choise!

I might chose some different- but similar weapons,
but caliberwise, I'm with you, and almost feel pity for those poor zombies

lol... never saw that before.

I would like to see companies do a tie-in with the upcoming World War Z movie. Can you imagine if Winchester was to get product placement for their M-22 ammo!? The boxes would be collector items.
