Hahaha!
I never thought of my 15-22 as a zombie gun but the squirrels around here live in fear of it.

Sorry guys. XM214. End of thread..... Go out and get yourself a 6-pack. If you ever really need one, they will be all over the streets.
If a Zombie horde were to ever take over the world I would just end up shooting myself in the head, so the 15-22 would be completely awkward in that regard. I would probably end up using my M&P 22 to shoot myself and leave all the crazed lunatics who think they could actually defeat the zombie horde my ammo.
ALL HAIL THE ZOMBIE HORDE!

If ammo wasn't an issue I would pick a surpressed P90 and a FN 5.7x28 pistol. The caliber would penetrate a skull everytime, little to no recoil, and you can still carry a ton of it. The P90 takes 50 round mags and the pistol takes 20, so lots of killing between reloads.

Didn't any of y'all read the book?
According to author/Zombie expert Max Brooks the ideal Zombie rifle is the M1 Carbine.
Compact
light weight
low recoil
You can carry lots of ammo
Plenty of power to splatter a Zombie head

Saw WWZ too. We're screwed. The 15-22 would be useless. Im gonna need more centerfire.
Be a good gun for Zombie ground squirrels but that's
about it. I prefer a little more bang for my buck when
dealing with the living dead.
I'll take a rifle that leaves no doubt when a head shot
is taken. Like an AR-10. When the head completely
explodes there is no doubt it is out of commission.

My ultimate Zombie gun? A 45/70 in an AR platform. LOL.

I saw the movie and I agree with you. Give me a ch47, a bunch of marines to guard the chopper during refuel along with 4 miniguns mounted on the back platform and 40 pallets of ammo at least and we might have a chance! 1522- forget it. You can't go it alone either since you have to reload sometime. I told my son that we did not have enough ammo on hand for this event and I have a decent supply.
Those are some really fast moving zombies too.
Actually it is much larger than a dime, the Medulla is 3 cm long, 2cm wide and about 1.2 cm wide--Think about 6 half dollars stretched! A bullet even a 22 lr will cease all activity in a human. Since I do not know the pathology or mechanism of action of the Zombie "virus" the Medulla become even more susceptible. Avoid 25/32 auto they tend not to penetrate the skull ,but travel under the scalp. 380 on up would prob work. I would use DPMS SASS sub/supersonic depending on range (300 yd/m ) and in. Suppressed 15-22 would work especially at night with NVD, Saiga -12 with 20 rd drum for those close encounter of the "Zombie" kind. And of course my Sigma F 40 and Cold Steel Recon Tanto. As I run out of ammo I will cache the empty weapon(s) for possible later use. I Practice on eggs/golf balls for "stubborn" zombies where, "I" believe that any centerfire rifle will eliminate hostilities with a centered head shot!! Good Hunting!!! Be Safe,

I saw and liked WWZ. But reading through this thread was very eye opening. At the beginning everyone talked about availability of .22lr ammo being a bonus for the 15-22. Those comments clearly before the great panic.
22lr is going to be the least available, as we've seen EVERYBODY want's some! Probably easy to scavenge from vacant houses though. I still think it's probably under powered for zombies. Need center fire.
If the zombies move as fast and if you turn into a zombie as fast as in WWZ, we are all truly doomed - in that case you just need one gun with one bullet.

Well reading this thread......... speaking of Zombies I'm waiting for my two teenager boys to wake up on a long weekend....... LOL
My combo would be my Beretta CX4, 9mm carbine and 2 Beretta 92 Elite IIs...........
my stock of 15,17/18,20 and 30 rd. mags. will work in all three guns. (Note to self: need to get a "possibles bag" aka "Indiana Jones" to carry on left side....bag would hold 10-15 loaded Beretta mags)
I would own everything inside of 50 yds..... maybe 100. Beyond 100 the "Walking Dead" are too slow to be a immediate issue!
now if I could have suppressors on all three ......LOL
Watching the "Walking Dead" the past three seasons...... it always makes me pause when the 110 lb. girl ( every zombie movie/show is required to have at least one hot chick) drives a knife through the top of a zombies skull............. if that's possible then the 15-22 is a winner....backed up with my Ciener Hi-power .22 conversion with 15rd mags! (Ammo note; need more CCI Stingers and Velocitors!!!!)

I would not bet my life on that kind of scenario on a few 9mm firearms and a .22 conversion. You would need a kill range out to at least 200 yards. 9mm is when you are in an urban jungle and all targets are 75 yards and under. And even then I would likely want to have a gun in each hand for short range work. But as a 3-gunner I can easily hit head sized targets out to at least 300 yards, but to be able to hit 100 % I would reduce that to around 200 yards with an AR.
As for a pistol you want something that carried a big mag has a flat shooting hi velocity round, low recoil, and you can carry lots of mags and ammo. 2 pistols come to mind, the Kel-Tec PMR-30 in .22 WMR and the FN57 in 5.7x28. Both have reasonably sized 30 round mags standard. Carrying the 57 means you could also do the FN PS90 carbine and use the same ammo. A good combo from at least 100 yards and under. But neither is a common enough ammo compared to 9mm, 5.56 or 7.62x39. 5.7x28 can be reloaded which is a bonus compared to a rimfire round, plus is more reliable. And the 5.7x28 has been used in battle. Certain rounds can defeat body armor even. A great anti-zombie round. You don't want big fat bullet ammo, you want small lightweight hi velocity bullets. Ones that can easily penetrate the skull whether it is solid or rotting away.
In my case I would be using two ARs, leaving my CX4 in the safe. My 3-gun AR as my SDM long range rifle and my 11.5" suppressed SBR AR as my urban CQB rifle. Definitely want suppressed in close quarters.

Maybe the great panic of 2013 (or did it start in 2012?) will cause shooters to realize ammo on the shelf is just as important as 15-22's in the rack. I am a bit like the ant who stocks up for unforeseen times and keep a good supply of ammo for every caliber I own. I thought that is what GI ammo cans were made for. Also try ordering .22 from CMP, I did in Jan and a week ago Fedex delivered another 5000 rounds of Golden Eagle Aguila.
I also share .22 with a local for Hunter Safety instructor as the kids sometimes cannot find ammo for the course. I am not able to see the future but do try to prepare for any Zombies lurking on the horizon.

Photoracer,
Don't disagree with a lot of what you said; but I was looking at what is currently in my safe......and using the slow moving "Walking Dead" zombies as what we would be facing. LOL
Ammo for the FNs is not in my inventory, and not that common in large quantity around here. The Kel-tec, does it have second strike ability?... for me that would be a must if you are using a rim fire round for defense. I like the .22mag round; in my CZ 452FS as a "walk in the woods gun", but it's a bolt gun with a 5 round mag.(light Zombie sniper rifle??)
With my 3 Berettas I would have 56-66 rounds ready to go and all spare mags.(15-30rds) will work in all 3 guns. The CX4 is short, light and with a red dot is good for head shots out to 100 yds., and I'm good to go with the 92s out to about 40-50yds.
If I get a call to appear on the "Walking Dead " next year my daily on screen walking around (looking cool on TV) load out would be backed up with an AR15 (w/ a 1-4 scope) and shotgun in/on the 4wheel drive or ATV. And given that we are on TV...... I'd SBR the CX4 (to the stock) and shotgun (14") and suppress all 3 Berettas...........need to find a good stag handled 12inch bowie knife!
Happy hunting.........LOL

I don't think you'd be hanging around to pick up brass. Unless you cleared the area and had it secured. Or firing from a fixed position. A moving head from 300 yards would be a feat in its self. A 200 yard moving head shot still pretty amazing. Any head shot made on a moving zombie inside a 100 yards is gonna take a good shot. So I'm kinda leaning towards my Saiga 12 with the poly choke cranked down and having multiple 12 and 20 round drums. Might be a little bulky but it's a sure hit at a safe distance. Then of course my Glock 19 for back up, it will hit whatever I aim it at out past 50 pretty easy. As long as I do my part. Or my Saiga ak with 75 round drums , so many choices.

good shot on moving target at 100? 200 amazing? you don't hunt predators do you? that is all i hunt. coyotes, fox, bobs, lions, badgers, prairie dogs, WOLVERINES!! (couldn't resist)
a 200 yard shot on a 25-30 pound dog that is on a fast trot is a pretty common shot on shooting sticks with any of my AR's. I can make a sitting coyote DRT with my Bushmaster Predator 20" w/75 gr TAPS and a Schmidt and Bender 1-4x24 PMII, FFP scope real easy.
using a Spike Middy with a Weaver Super Slam 1.1-6x24 FFP, 55 gr, Federal soft tips or Hornady ballistic tips i can shoot 200 all day.
night i just put the Laser Genetics ND3 Sub Zero on the pict rail on top of the Larue and PEPR scope mount, switch the S&B to the night vision settings and swap out the Weaver with the EOtech OPMOD and 3x magnifier on NV settings and i can still get head shots on dogs out to 200. that's about my view limits at night with my tired eyes, but technically you could go out to MPBR with that set up at night.
I love tier one plastic fantastic handguns, keep my wood and steel in the safe, so an SKD battle belt with 2, 3 mag each AR pouches, a 5 slot Glock or whatever handgun magazine pouch, dump bag and FA kit hooked up to an SKD chest rig, not armored, holds a lot of ammo!!!!
chest rig has a G35 w/+2 .40 mags with Hornady critical duty, drop thigh holster has G17 w/+2 same ammo in 9mm.
*** holster has G27 w/mags and can use the G35 mags as well.
aside from the Glock pistols, my Glock field knife is on my right side in front of the holster. this leaves room on my left side for a holster for a Walther P22 with a AAC Pilot II can on the gun and a Huntertown can in the little mag case with the holster. a slightly large sized double stack mag holder holds 8 total 10 round subsonic mags for the walther.
throw the wife her G19 and have her tote the FN TPS shotgun with 10 in and 6 on 00 buck, plus bandolier and 25 in the sling. She can use the 15-22 w/10 mags of SS and can for her roll. she is pretty good.
that is if we were to bug out, ATV is always stocked with everything predator hunting that i need in the desert and sometimes in winter i'm out for a full week. would just have to hook up trailer, through everything else in the bed has a windowed shell, stabilt in 5, 5 gallon cans and off we go. water and MRE's are all ready prestocked in truck if we have to bug out.
we actually intend on staying put. i have 3/4" plywood already cut for all the windows and a castle style door bar, wife decorates with flowers so it looks good.
shooting ports in the window wood, all is predrilled and ready to be put up.
we did a speed run and with the other family that is bugging in with us we can get all the perimeter done in about 2 hours, that's with the trip wire and flares, plus the infrared beams that chime in the house.
enough rambling, it's not the zombies i fear, it's the normal humans that are looking for the essentials that they did not have before it started. a quick shot to the "Apricot" (medulla oblongata) and they are down for the count.
wow, this turned into a book, gotta get a beer out of my can rotation!!!!
