Best Zombie Gun Ever?

A .22 is not a decent zombie gun, and a 15-22 is not the best choice if you insist on using a .22. It's simply to finicky on reloads to be any good, especially when your large-breasted girlfriend is trying to reload the mag while she's screaming/crying/cowering. If you had any zombie experience at all (or had seen any of the documentaries, AKA Zombieland, XXXX of the Living Dead etc), you'd know that.

Get yourself a real rifle/pistol, and remember:

Rule#1 - The double-tap.
 
DPMS AR 15 .223 The ultimate zombie. with a S&W model 29 .44 mag for backup a .22 for zombies? not..... just agrivates them
 
I'm thinking if you are going to depend on the 15-22, you had better have enough lube for the toy (er, gun) and for your tailpipe. 'Cause you are gonna be in Zombie Love once they get their hands on you.

It plays out like this:30-06 or larger for keeping them at distance. A .308 DPMS for the masses. (I pick the DPMS because S&W does not make a SuperSport15. Maybe they are listening...... And, I pick the DPMS over an Armalite AR10 because you can get reliable magazines for the DPMS all over town. DPMS actually won the war in this respect.) Then, onto an AR15. I suppose my Sport will get it's first real workout. This rifle will be fielded by my backup, and it will serve only to give me time to reload the .308. 3 things matter in a firefight: Massive firepower. Knockdown power. Volume of fire. The last of these is the only tool in the .22LR playbook.
If they get too much closer, it's down to a Mossberg 500 and a S&W 9504.

You can keep that squirrel gun for catching dinner. .22's are deadly at very intimate close range, I do not intend to get that close to any zombie like critter. If I do?? 147gr. Hydro-Shoks will be just a bit more effective than a .22LR ever will be.

What the hell is that?

If it is Book World War Z's then the 15-22 would work. Slower zombies, lots of shooting needed = win. Suppressor, decent accuracy, loads of bullets.

If it is the movie ones, I want a gattling gun and preferably an AC-130.

Seems to me that on TV people are always crushing zombie heads with all sorts of stuff. Surely they must have softer, more brittle or weaker skulls for this to be possible so a .22LR might do the trick? 15-22 and a Mossberg pump would probably be the best combination for me due to the fact we cant get the really fun stuff here in the UK. :(
 
I don't know if this would be my primary gun during the zombie apocalypse but it serves a purpose. With a 20rd drum it has a lot of firepower.It is small and handy and recoil is manageable but it is LOUD. 20rds of 00buck is a lot of lead.

OMG!! If its going to be like that we would all be doomed!!
However...... I think the .22 would be good enough to do the job....but it might not do a big enough splat for some folks....:eek:

Other than that... I'm going to need a bigger boat!!

If they are as fast as the ones in that one part of the WWZ trailer then a .22 will be totally useless. You would not be able to get enough head shots fast enough even on full auto to keep them off you. In fact anything below a Ma Duece or a Mini-gun is going to be marginal. Think fuel/air bombs, napalm, gunships, and tactical nukes.
What you really need to think of is how many rounds of ammo and which firearms would it take me to survive in a hideout before the big honchos could control the problem.
As a competition shooter I tend to keep about 500+ rounds for every centerfire and up to 2K rounds of 22 rounds stored at all times.
But in reality, doomsday preppers aside, that is insufficient as a SHTF supply for any ultimate emergencies. I have a collector friend who has an M60, never fired, and 5k linked rounds. I asked him why the ammo if he was not ever going to fire it. His response was "you never know what might happen". Good advice. I figure every time I hit WM and they have some of the Fed 55g .223 100/$35 in stock I am going to pick up a couple extra that I don't need for 3-gun and stock pile it till I get maybe 2-3k rounds. I have been doing that for CCI Mini-Mags for awhile due to major competition commitments but recently scored one of their 1600 count ammo boxes at 1600/$98. Might just put that aside.
While I don't think .22LR is a viable round for the ZA it is still useful on other lifeforms.
Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving.
 
Well, World War Z finally came out and I went and saw it. Just thought I would update into my own post that started because of this movie.

Other than the title, I knew it had nothing to do with the book. Basically, it is the movie Contagion with fast moving rabies (aka, Zombies).

The 15-22 wouldn't stand a chance against those creatures.......... but then again, neither did more powerful weapons.

P.S. ---- save your money
