I think everyone should buy a useless restricted gun just for a zombie killer. I'm thinking something along the lines of a beretta cx4 storm in 45 acp.

Actually I think you can get the storm in an unrestricted version (they just install a slightly longer barrel I believe). (BUT it still looks scary to gun grabbers)

They just aren't hungry for brains yet!

We all need to be prepared for zombies. Don't discredit 22lr for the job as we will have little time to drill out pinned mags. Two 25 shot steel lips together is a lot of head shots and extra ammo fits in all your pockets easily. And a backup coach gun in case they get in your perimeter. I'm ready!

I wonder if the slug pushes through the 00 a bit making them spread fast. This would be interesting to pattern from 20 to 100 yards. I can't see any slug load being popular for home protection as overpenetration is a concern.
Maybe bears though

My favorite Zombie load is a half dozen nickels in a 12 gauge shell.

If you throw a couple dimes in there to... the silver content will also ensure effectiveness against other creatures of the night like rogue faeries, werewolves, and vampires.

Don't forget to double-tap.

Ummmmm... no thanks.
What you need to clean up that place is a large auger type snowplow or a payload of napalm.

Bet you wish you could just call in a fire mission sometimes...lol

going by memory something in the hood of around 2200-2400 fps and .375 to .416" in diam. is what the african stuff i've read will get you into an elephant brain reliably...i wanna say launch at 2350-ish and impact velocity around 2200 fps was what i remember without going too crazy on front area size of bullet (ie; too big in diam. and they didn't penetrate as deep as the smaller .375/.416 stuff going a bit faster than the big t-rex's and nitro cartridges etc).....not sure what can get you to those specs but that would be a good target area to head for

i'm thinkin some hotter loaded 300 grainers in a 45-70 to get velocity up would be dandy big bear medicine, or even a 30-06 with some 180's to 220's

not sure i'd pick a slugger as a bear stopper, huge frontal areas and not much speed, about 1775 fps real world out of a 20 gauge federal barnes and 22" barrel and that is a i think a 1900 fps rated round in a way long barrel...and the smaller diam. of the 20 guage likely out penetrate the even fatter and slower 12 gauge stuff

wolf308 · #11 09-01-2011, 09:07 PM

oh yeah gotta get me some of those,good find big bore

if we could ever hook up for a range day... we should do a wet newspaper penetration test.... you bring your best 20ga round.. ill bring my best 12 ga round...

Even though my slug gun shoots Dual Bonds like a hot dam........ I am going to bounce between them and a different slug I found my gun loves....... but with that said......

...most slugs are Rated for deer only(so they say)..... my Dual Bonds are rated for deer to Caribou sized game... as per the pictures state. LOL I really am tempted to dial in on a 200 yard elk......... and squeeze the trigger this fall.

i would bring as many rounds possible so we had the 20 ang 12 gauge version of same bullet, that way we would get to see which went went furthest, most of the 20 gauge pills are .45 caliber at around 250-260 grains, the barnes expanders are .50 caliber around 278 grains....i know that one opens to over 1" from the elk i shot....but i'm betting the .45 caliber ones go even deeper, the ones with least amount of expansion (given similar velocities) should go the deepest, can't see the bigger fatter slower 12 gauge slugs going deeper than the 20's but you won't know unless you try, i'm sure its been tried and proven already tho, just can't be bothered to look it up, i'd feel just as good with the 20 gauges premium slugs in my hand as a 12 i guess, but i'd probably rather have a 45-70 guide gun

Should do the job, quite well ... especially at close range!

No need to drill out pins, do yourself a favour and watch for a deal on a Pietta pps-50. My 22lr runs off a 50 round drum mag, and has only jammed a few times off of 1000 rounds. Think about the zombie body count with 50rds and a red dot!!!!

Silly Rabbits....it's flame throwers that zombies really hate...
