Its a zombie apocalypse - which gun/s do you grab?

Siraff · Tuesday at 10:19 AM

Yes its a slow day at work.
Anyway here's the scenario. You're making a cup of tea when news comes on the radio that zombies are coming (because of course they are).
You look out of the window and hundreds of them are on the way.
What airgun do you grab? Do you go for the most power, the most accuracy, best rate of fire, largest magazine or just the heaviest thing so that when you run out you can use it to throw at them?
Remember zombies are already rotting so they will go down with a single pellet to the head.

On the basis that the AK47 is the most feared weapon as you haven't a clue where the heck its firing I'd grab the Beeman double barrel springer.

It'd certainly take two Zombies out, but with an air of mystery as to which ones that'd be.

Seem to remember a thread about this somewhere before and got quite serious, I would go gift a Ruger 10/22, light, pointable, semi auto and 200 rounds of 22 ammunition would be easy to get hold of and carry around.

I wouldn't go for an air rifle to start with, I'd go for the most commonly available ammo so 12b or 22lr.
Then when that runs out I'd use an HW80, the Volvo of post apocalypse air rifles.

Easy peasy...

First I'm going to get to my nearest military airfield, commandeer a Chinook, fly to the US, land in the carpark of the nearest gun superstore, break in, take everything, load up the choppa, find somewhere to refuel, stop off for a spot of lunch somewhere, find a nice ranch, offload my munitions, find the nearest supermarket, break in, take everything, load up the choppa, fly back to my ranch. Job done

Personally, I wouldn't grab an airgun gun because there's hundreds of them.

I'd grab the post-apocalypse Volvo of Volvos and drive it through them and head for the hills.

The mighty B2 a roll of gaffer tape and a meat cleaver

I re-read your post and you said "airgun",

I don't have fac but I go for the most powerful fac air rifle I could get whatever that is

Winchester !

The top one, because after many hundreds of cartridges, it just refuses to jam on me.
The other 2 might also come in handy, but would more than likely just sting the Zombies a bit, which may only serve to irritate them further.

Don't forget the Andrex Triple Velvet

I can't imagine any of my airguns being much use against a zombie, except as a club, so I'd grab the sharpest sword in my collection (either my Victorian police cutlass, my Anduril replica, or my chokuto) or my Walther machete, and chop their freaking heads off....

Have you not seen "Shaun of the Dead"?
All you need is a shovel, cricket bat or baseball bat, (and a local pub to hold up in, ideally called "The Winchester").

crissdee · Tuesday at 11:49 AM

That's a good point! I also have a baseball bat to hand.....

That's the bruiser I had in mind.

I'm pretty sure it was one of those that many years ago a mate's dad went in to buy new to replace his previous Volvo.

He was in his early 70s, IIRC, and the salesman apparently informed him, "This'll be the last car you ever need to buy, sir!"

My mate was absolutely howling when he told me.

Seeing the "idiots" on YT with airsoft home defence pistols etc NOT THOSE
Making a dent in plaster board will not deter a burgler let alone a Zombie.
By the way i am no conspiracy idiot but do you know at the flick of a switch VAPE users will become Zombiefied?

rocketdogbert · Tuesday at 12:10 PM

Semi-auto .22lr is the way to go, light ammo, you can carry 1k rounds easily.
Try that with a 12G lol

Its a zombie apocalypse - which gun/s do you grab?
