Wink "AA-12" ... The 'Ultimate' Bird Gun?


Generally, my 'go-to' gun for most bird hunting is my 12Ga. O/U Beretta Silver Pigeon III. I still cringe every time I remember how much it cost me (I saved up for a loooong time for that one!). But I love that gun ... they can bury me with it.

However, it's alway nice to try something new every once in a while. I hear the 'AA-12' is the way to go these days ... light, low recoil, and quick with the follow-up shot. Sounds like the perfect bird gun to me.

Yup, just what I need for when those geese come in low over the horizon in "attack formation" on farmer Primo's field - NOT!!
However, if the zombies mount an attack........

In any conflict, one thing is key: your weapon. An uprising of the walking plague, legions of the undead, or hordes of zombies is no different. The well prepared and well armed survivor will have serveral weapons at his or her disposal: a trusty sidearm, a sturdy and damaging melee weapon, and a primary offensive weapon.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs! I might actually get a bird or two in a covey with one of those. Three fast blasts from my 391 just isn't enough given my shooting accuracy!

Hmmm ... yer probably right Cat. The AA-12 would make for an excellent zombie gun!

I've never hunted zombies before ... what's the 'bag limit' here in Alberta?

That's it, I'm moving to Alberta. Over here, zombies are protected and spend their time sitting in the National Assembly...

And to think - I just showed up looking for a used 12ga.

AA-12 might just do the trick.

Those stabilized grenade rounds should do well for rabbit too.
