I Know I'll Get Flamed But Best Round for Killing Zombies

[mindwip]

But again: why are we interrupting a practical discussion about zombies for silly vampire legends?

Becuase its better then arguments about 9mm vs 45

And blackpower would be to slow rate of fire.

Well, duh. Everyone knows .357 and .22 mag are preferred for zombies anyway.

I think a 7.65 CZ 52 and a bundle of pencils would do the job for vampires. Stuff pencil down bore and shoot with a blank, repeat.

 

[Panthera Tigris]

I vote for the 12 guage.

 

[madmike]

Actually, either one of the training versions of the .50 cal that was converted to 12 gauge, shooting buckshot, or a Saiga .410 with 20 round mags...

 

[Echo Tango]

I found this.

This says it all I think

 

[madmike]

But is 4 rounds enough? Wouldn't you want a couple of 25 round bandoliers?

 

[Carl N. Brown]

Back to Zombies: shotgun ammo is way too bulky when dealing with
the hordes of the undead as in Dawn of the, or Day of the, or
City of the (u-no-wat). I can pack 20 rounds 30-30 in the box
that holds five twelve gauge slugs, and 120 rounds .30-30 in a
bandolier that holds six - five round 12 ga boxes. That's 4 to 1
more ammo in the same space.

 

[madmike]

I still prefer a box fed weapon for faster reloading. Got to go with the old AR15.

M4 carbine with lots of extra mags, and a grenade launcher for area effect.

Of course, the REAL question, is:

What theme music would you have running in the background while you are decimating zombie gordes with your rifle of choice?

My preference, no question, would be the Benny Hill theme music.

 

[Correia]

I have a mix tape specifically for the occasion.

 

[madmike]

Several options.

Live and Let Die, Paul McCartney.

I Dream in Infrared, Metallica.

The theme from Caveman, Ringo Starr.

Music from The Matrix.

Beethoven's Ninth.

Darth Vader's March.

Dead Man's Party, Oingo Boingo.

Anything appropriate by Ted Nugent.

Camelwalk, Southern Culture On The Skids.

Anything by Primus.

Another One Bites the Dust, Queen.

Run Like Hell, Pink Floyd.

Missionary Man, Eurhythmics.

Blue Murder, Orgy's cover.

For Those About to Rock, AC~DC.

Hell's Bells, AC~DC.

Thriller, Michael Jackson. (DON'T JUDGE ME!)

Anything by Rob Zombie. (Duh.)

Bodies, Drowning Pool.

Don't Fear the Reaper, Blue Oyster Cult.

 

[madmike]

The Ripper, Judas Priest.

Rapid Fire, Judas Priest.

Oh yes:

 

[ozwyn]

seems to me like the real problem with zombies is not just re-killing them, but making sure zomthing doesn't make the parts rise again.

I am thinking a wood-chipper, a good pit and some gasoline and/or charcoal should do the trick.

Even if the classic anti-zombie shotgun to the head doesn;t work, finely shredded and burned undead should not pose a terrible threat to much besides your sense of smell.

since vampires are still flesh, should work fine on them too. Even if it doesn;t kill them, they may decide to take 100+ years off before going back to wherever it is you happen to live

Of course, the REAL question, is:

Good question... I guess some of the stuff McCain played on the chopper on Tour of Duty might fit. Otherwise, some of Ted Nugent's stuff would surely fit. Much as I prefer Country, it just ain't zombie killin' music.

 

[GW]

I was leaning more to the theme from Laurel & Hardy

Happy music to lighten up a grisly task

 

[DerringerUser]

Hmmm, best song in the backround while whacking the zombies?


I'd say, this.

 

[GW]

What was I thinking???
John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance"

Give zombies a chance

 

[Carl N. Brown]

has anyone though of this oldy but moldy?

Modest Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain
(aka Walpurgis Night on Barren Mountain, St John's Night on Bare Mountain)
I remember the Disney Fantasia version where the dead rise from
their graves to dance for the demon Chernobog.

 

[Dirty Bob]

Some great musical suggestions.

I would also add: "Re: Your Brains" by Jonathan Coulton.

It's quite possibly the funniest song ever made that features zombies (and is sung by a zombie).

You can hear it for free at his website (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songs). Perhaps you'll do like I did and purchase a few songs from him. You might also like "Skullcrusher Mountain," "Code Monkey," and his wimpy "suburban" version of the Sir Mix-a-lot classic: "Baby Got Back."

Edited to add some on-topic content:
I suggested the .303 No.4 Enfields (Mk1, Mk1* or Mk2). Another advantage of these classic British bolt-action military rifles is that they can use the British "spike" bayonet. With slow zombies, you could fix bayonet and aim for the eye socket after running out of ammo, or use the good ol' rifle butt to the side of the zombie's noggin.

Regards,
Dirty Bob

There was a story years ago by James Blish. A party of hunters were trapped in a lodge by a werewolf (snow) and melted down silver candlesticks to make bullets for a FAL and then hosed the beast.

As far as slouching and mumbling - how do you distinguish zombies from the presidental candidates in 2000?

It seems to me that incomprehensible speech was the order of the day.

 

[The Burnside Ninja]

I think we ALL know the ultimate zombie, vampire, bad@$$ song of all time is "O Fortuna". If you know what symphony I'm talking about, give me an "AMEN"... if you don't, google it. Then you'll realize what I'm talking about.

 

[GW]

All this talk of death:banghead:
Isn't it enough for you all that they've died once already?

If it weren't for Zombies we never would have had such classics as She's Not There and Tell Her No

So much for all of you that say zombies contribute nothing to the world

 

[mustanger98]

I wouldn't say they "contribute nothing to the world". They give us something to go on and on and on about on the internet, don't they? If you believe everything you hear from the anti's, us gun owners have to kill something, don't we? ...must go buy more .22lr.

Pretty much ends this debate as far as I'm concerned...

Dear Dano:

You are mistaken - I went to the site and it said:


Use Winchester Industrial Tools and loads to remove Snow Men/

Download the PDF and you will see this.

Thus, we are discussing zombies and not snow men.
