I think the best zombie kit would contain one of those western movie six shooters that shoot 950 rounds without reloading.

It is about time for a large Sausage, Pepperoni, and Mushroom pizza with extra cheese, and a cold six pack of Bud. That should hold me until bed time.
I might be dating myself a little but this is for any
of you drifters who are about my age (55) and love
the Rock-N-Roll.
Neil Peart drummer for Rush is one of my all time
favorites. Here he is on "Subdivisions".

I done killed the Zombies tonight at the range. Sorry no pictures, didn't know that Zombies would be the subject tonight.
Curious, have any of you bought any of that Zombie ammo?
I couldn't justify the price but i'm cheap.
I've never bought any but maybe i should have for
collector value, IE Black Talons...I have a full box
of .44 mag Black Talons.

The most dangerous game....
Chess. The most dangerous game?
Good question. Cut me some slack if this list ain't perfect....uh, isn't perfect. It's a pretty lengthy mass to edit.
This is a list of top flight chess masters who died young or under unusual circumstances. I threw in a few prizes for longevity, proving that chess will kill you sooner or later.
Note the stress and tension of tournament play over hours and days. It's no wonder that heart attacks are an occupational disease, especially for grandmasters.
Those who died of a heart attack include Adolf Anderssen (age 60), Vladimir Bagirov (64), Joseph Blackburne (82), Efim Bogoljubov (63), Gyula Breyer (28), Jose Capablanca (53), Max Euwe (80), Paul Keres (59), Emanuel Lasker (72), Paul Leonhardt (57), Frank Marshall (67), Miguel Najdorf (87), Cecil Purdy of Australia (73), Sammy Reshevsky (80), Gideon Stahlberg (59), Howard Staunton (64), Leonid Stein ( 38), Herman Steiner (50), and Alexei Suetin (74), Vladimir Simagin (49), Alexey Vyzmanavin (40).
Thirteen of these died while playing or just having finished a game.
Another leading cause of death is cancer. Rosendo Balinas rdo Barbero (age 40), Mikhail Botvinnik (83), Ricardo Calvo (59), Efim Geller (73), Tigran Petrosian (55), Karl Robatsch ( 71), Daniel Yanofsky (74), Claude Bloodgood (64)
Some masters died of accidental death. Grandmaster Georgy Agzamov of Russia died in 1986 at the age of 32 after he fell between some rocks while swimming in the Black Sea while taking a break from a tourney.
Alexander Alekhine died at the age of 53 from a piece of choked meat. (disputed, murder and heart attack are suspected. The former World champion was shunned after WWII and had just been invited to a tournament)
Janos Flesch died in a car wreck at the age of 50. So did Cuban Grandmaster Guillermo Garcia. He was 36.
Julius Perlis, a strong master, died in 1913 at the age of 33 from a fall on a mountain in the Alps.
Frederick Yates died from a gas leak in his house. So did Hungarian International Master Arpad Vajda.
International Master Nicholas Rossolimo fell down a flight of stairs in New York and died at 65.
There were some who committed suicide.
Curt von Bardeleben jumped to his death from his boarding home. Karen Grigorian also jumped to his death at age 42. Lemit Oll also jumped to his death from his 4th story apartment at age 35. Alvis Vitolins also jumped to his death at age 59. (These gave rise to a book by Vladamir Nabokov called "The Defense" that was made into a movie called "The Luhzin Defense" starring John Turruro and Emily Watson.
The most unusual death is a chess player named "Nikolai Titov" whose head exploded during the Moscow Candidate Masters' Chess Championships due to the condition 'Hyper-Cerebral Electrosis'. (This is a myth, his head did NOT literally explode.)
Diabetes killed Mikhail Chigorin 58 and Louis Paulsen 68.
The most famous player, Bobby Fischer 64 died of kidney failure while exiled in Iceland for breaking the Yugoslavia trade embargo for playing his old nemesis, Boris Spassky. Bobby won. The same cause of death of another world champion Mikhael Tal (1936-1992) (Fischer was the only player to visit Tal in the hospital)
Another unusual cause of death were Bright's Disease, Alexander McDonnell 37; Syphillis, Harry Pillsbury 34; Scarlet Fever, Richard Reti 40;
Abram Rabinovich 52 starvation.
During the war, the Germans arrested all the chess players that were meeting at the Warsaw Chess Club , which was banned earlier . The Jews were all taken to a concentration camp and were later killed in a mass execution. This included Polish masters Dawid Przepiorka, Achilles Frydmann, Stanislaw Kohn, and Moishe Lowtzky.

Mark Stolberg 19 Disappeared on the Russian Front and no one knows where his grave is.
Notes:
The overabundance of people dying prematurely.
War caused many cases of starvation, but many were also caused by pure deprivation and poverty from not being able to make a living, much less support a family.
TB was an attrocious killer. Players often overtended themselve and failed to take care of themselves and TB was one of the biggest killers in the 1800s. Heavy smoking was rife.
Players have fared better the last half of the 1900s, partly due to Bobby Fischer putting chess on the map and raising tournament prizes. There are still many players and hustlers who are broke, that are still trying to achieve just a 'Master' Rating, much less International Master or International Grand Master.

Zombies? I prefer the tactical toenail clippers with attached flashlight and bayonet. As we speak, I am fitting a new rail to accomodate a new laser and bipod as well. Of course, it's all black with a paracord lanyard. I don't use guns for zombies. It ain't sporting.

I'm morally (and financially) opposed to buying ammo as a 'novelty'.

That was excellent! What a drummer! They were one of my favorite bands way back when. I saw them at San Diego Sports Arena in 1983. Well, I was there, anyway. My friends said they rocked. I sure wish I remembered it!
Bigride,
Whats your weapon of choice? After toe nail clipers?
crossbow, sword, flame thrower, frisbee ????
Chuck
Aw man.......
Aw man, say it ain't so. Donna Douglas was 82?
I would have been about 7 when it first came on, in a year or two, I'd be wishing that rope would break.
Ellie May no longer dines here.
RIP Darlin'

In the interest of brevity, I didn't quote your list, as impressive as it is, but I will concur.
Once, while playing against the computer, I carelessly scooted the oak chair I was sitting on forward, directly onto, and breaking, my little toe!
I was watching that Pawn show out of Detroit. Cannot remember
the name of it right off hand. But these 2 guys walked in that
looked straight out of the movie Deliverence and had something
the shop owner wanted to buy. When he asked the two what
they were trying to get for said item they told him they wanted
some Zombie fighting weapons. These guys were serious as all
get out. The shop owner ended up working out a trade with them.
I remember them getting 2 used chainsaws, a sledge hammer,
and a set of golf clubs and i believe a circular saw or two.
Those two guys were happy as a Pig rolling in ****.
The shop owner (Les) was just shaking his head when they
left.

For backup, I use a tactical toothbrush with spring-loaded assisted-opening tanto blade in the handle and .22lr zip gun attached to back side of brush head.
What's a tooth brush?
