.22 LR and zombie hunting?

[John -- '02 HAWK]

you should pickup a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide.

the ZSG is such a horrible a book I didnt finish reading it. The primary reason I didnt finish it is the horribly bad firearms section. WWZ is much better.

personally i dont plan to be doing too many 200+ yard shots in a zombie scenario, but thats me

Your personally not planning on shooting zombies at 200yrd?! Is that because ITS FICTION!

now in close combat, il have my pump 12 guage on my back and my 1911 on my side just because of the amount of damage and size of the rounds

really? Do you mall ninja much?

A .22 is a bad little round that doesn't get enough attention. I'd rather have a .22 during Z day

This topic is like debating which vacuum cleaner would be best for sucking up ghosts.

All well and good for your traditional "dead" zombies, but what about a mutated virus that pulls some "28 Days Later" shit?

Oh, and everyone knows you do not use a vacuum cleaner for ghosts. You use a proton pack.

I now own two light weight 10/22s for the zombies. It is all about the high ground and a slight downward angle into the skull should put them down with little effort. You better start taking the shots out as far as you can. They have got to stink and I don't want to be anywhere near a pile of rotting zombie corpses.

I didn't even consider weight when I built mine. Hogue rubber overmold stock (not necessarily heavy but not light either) and 20" bull barrel. It weighs more than my AR.

Why not a pair of calicos with 100rd mags?

[Jose]

Are Calico's still available? Hadn't seen them in years.

It is the most popular caliber on the planet.

100 yards is about as far as I can shoot my bolt action 22 in a medium wind and still land on a paper plate. After that forget about getting them in the head.

When zombies attack I'm sure nobody will care how cheap the ammo is. lol.

He's talking about now.... as in..... cheap to stock up.

I meant as a serious killing round

I think its one of the top three deadliest calibers as per homicide reports

Those figures don't mean anything in reality. Popularity and cost drive those.

Correlation vs. Causation. You are very correct 'ole chap.
