If he lives long enough to keep shooting, he has 5,000 rounds. 5,000 rounds of .22 Long Rifle will kill anything, if just by bleeding to death.
Yeeahh, but there is a real caliber called .577 Tyrannosaur, why not one for velociraptors? 
Why do you assume a human head is stronger than a coconut? A human skull takes half as much pressure to crush as a coconut does. I’m betting its easier to penetrate a skull as well.
You should get yourself one of these to mow those undead suckers down.
The .577 Tyrannosaur isn’t even the biggest rifle available, there’s also the .700 Nitro Express, in the linked video, most of the shooters are firing the Tyrannosaur, the last shooter (Chuck Norris?) fires the .700 NE
notice most of the shooters are in a neutral shooting stance, just balancing the gun against their shoulder, the last shooter is leaning forward into the gun, pulling it hard against his shoulder to eliminate as much movement as possible, and anticipating and controlling the recoil
.22 is an excellent caliber for the apocalypse. It’s powerful enough to kill; gun stores are stocked with .22 semi-autos; the ammo is light, incredibly compact, and cheap; and everyone can become proficient with one in an hour or two.
Nah, my hands are too big for that.
Does someone make a mini gun in .22 ??
I grant you these are good reasons, but whatever happened to the traditional chainsaws and flame throwers? One must have some standards.
Aside from the sentimental stuf:
Chainsaws - gotta get within grabbin & biting range to use; Very messy; Hard to control; limited fuel supply.
Flamethrower - after you flame up the shuffling zombie, you’ve got a shuffling zombie that’s on fire:eek:. 'Nuff said. Plus, see above regarding fuel.
No, but it’s one of the coolest names. What fun is a zombie apocalypse if ya can’t have cool sounding gear?
Sigh.
As Chaucer is, shall Dryden be. :rolleyes:
Duh, that’s what accesory rails are for, geesh, I thought people knew these things, attach flamethrowers/chainsaws/grenade launchers/etc to your main battle rifle…:rolleyes:
In World War Z after the surviving humans regrouped and organized to begin systematically fighting back, the standard zombie-kill round was an incendiary .22.
Maximized ammo, although even then using “Lobo”, a zombie-killing hand tool was preferred when possible.
Hush. You’re in trouble enough with AT&F as it is.
What’re you paying for .45 ACP?
For commercial ammo, $29.95 per 100 round brick at Wally World, but I haven’t purchased commercial .45 ammo since I got into reloading it
my per-round cost for reloaded .45 is around .13¢/round at my highest powder charge
per-round for Winchester White Box .45 is around .30¢/round
My .45 target reloads have less recoil than factory loaded 9mm, and are more accurate than factory .45, I load them light for best paper-punchin’ performance, I could hand my Kimber to a novice shooter, loaded with my target loads, and they could shoot the big 230 grain bullets in my .45 with no trouble at all
I’ve turned many a shooter on to both reloading and the .45 by letting them try 8 rounds of the “MacTech Load”
I’m in the process of working up a good, hot personal-defense load for a batch of 100 185 grain Speer Gold Dot hollow points, as my target loads aren’t really ideal for personal protection (not that I need to carry around here)
reloading is FUN, it combines the fun of the old “chemistry labs” of childhood with the fun of explosives, what’s not to like?
Step 1: deprime and resize the case, and clean the primer pocket
Step 2: seat a new primer in the case
Step 3: expand the case slightly and drop in the powder charge
Step 4: weigh the powder charge to insure correct charge was thrown (4.5 grains of Winchester 231 in my target loads)
Step 5: weigh the charge a second time, any discrepancies between the two, return the powder to the hopper and re-throw another charge in the case
Step 6: place the bullet on top of the case, and seat and crimp the bullet
I don’t have to weigh the charge twice, but I’m new to reloading and I want to make very sure my reloads are completely safe, so I err on the side of caution, so far I haven’t had a single reloading misha…<BOOOM!!!>…
Just kidding, so far, no mishaps, and I want to keep it that way
I thought I read this exact write up before. Looks like I have! I thought I had somehow ended up in a parallel universe or there was some glitch in the Matrix or something.
If you have one of these, you can shoot a bunch before the rest even notice! 
So, you make dead things deader too, eh? 
It’s okay, we talked about this on the internet…
Psh, wasn’t the “enters but doesn’t exit” nature of a .22 round specifically mentioned as a bonus in The Zombie Survival Guide?
Haven’t read it, but yeah, “enters and bounces around” is an advantage if one assumes a zombie retains some brain power. IRL, the brain starts breaking down into a buttery sludge almost immediately, and can’t be relied on for even the most basic processing. Disregarding the claims of writers of fiction, like Max Brooks, we really must stop concentrating on the brain and consider whichever organ can continue semi-intelligent activity after the brain has turned to pudding. As the liver has long been thought of as the center of consciousness, I suggest we concentrate on it. And as it is so large, and a human can function quite well with one cut in half, a .22 ain’t gonna cut it.
