I was wondering how my ZED members plan to illiminate the hoards of flesh-eating walking dead. Now, how I roll all plans on who I'm with and where we are going.

 

Heavy:

AR 15

870

Glock 19

 

Medium:

870

Glock 19

SW model 15

 

Light:

Cx4

Px4

LCR

 

Is this overkill (pun intended) or just planning ahead?

Heavy:

MG-42

M1D Garand sniper

Monster Mosin

Svt-40

M2 .50 when I pick it up in January!!!!!

 

Medium:

Mossberg 500

Thompson

Various 1911's

Romanian PSL

SKS's in different configurations

 

my plan is to have somebody on a heavy weapon for distance while a team mate is on a medium for close in support. Anything over 200 yds is for the heavy only, anything within that range is fair game for anyone. Teamwork is the key.

Teamwork is the key.

 

I'm sure a team of 4 or 5 armed, trained, and ready to rock and roll ZED members would be unstopable.

Only on paper, or internet threads.

It all comes down to the training and how people perform under pressure.

 

I'm gonna go with:

 

Heavy:

Mosin Nagant M44

 

Medium:

Mossberg 500

 

Light:

Beretta Px4 Storm

 

I would probably be most comfortable with the Mossy

HEAVY

REM 700 7MM REM MAG

GOLDEN EAGLE 7MM REM MAG

 

MED

2X MOSSBERG 500 ONE TANKED OUT

REM 1100

REM 118-87

 

LIGHT

BERETTA 92FS 9MM

KIMBER GRAND RAPTOR II .45 ACP

SW MODEL 29-2 44MAG

REM 597 .22

S&W M&P 15-22

I agree with Tim. I think people in general would get trigger happy in a free-fire zone (we are talking about literal zombies here)... so, 4-5 guys might prove to be more of a liability in the long run by eventually getting into a shoot/no-shoot situation, and stirring up the wrong nest . Personally, if I were to operate in a group, I'd want a platoon-sized element-- as long as they knew how to operate in such conditions. Otherwise, and say I'm against the grain, but I'd prefer to go solo (maybe one other person). Of course I have family to be concerned about... so, I better get them, and a couple dozen more, up to speed on SOF-discipline, LOA, bounding, and scrolling the road

 

As for what I would choose in heavy/med/light:

(metaphorically speaking... in reality, I'd be more happy with a combat boot or hiking shoe.)

fun thread... my choices are limited to the PX4 and the Mossberg no matter what (light/heavy/medium) as I eventually expand my collection (hopefully before the zombie hordes come) that'll change. what Ben said is important, tactics, more than tools are the key to survival... and as we discussed in another thread - using old people as zombie bait...

I was going to start a new thread, but figured it was connected with this thread-- just that Ray needed to clarify his initial post (or I might be thinking of something totally else).

I'm under the impression that by asking what our conditional heavy/medium/light configurations are, these correlate with the classic "mobility vs. firepower" argument (which tactics would play in to eventually, as we already have). If I'm totally off base, then I have no clue what you mean by "heavy/medium/light," haha, and that's OK. I just wanted to try and clarify because I found the designations a bit confusing.

I think those go hand in hand. your choices of tactics depend on available weaponry and vice versa. and isn't "thread mutation" a common occurrence anyway?

Only on paper, or internet threads.

 

I'm not talking about 4 or 5 strangers. I'm talking about 4 or 5 "team members". You have to train and shoot together.

This also could be it's own thread, but ties in to what Ben and Ray are saying:

 

How many of you guys have training, whether civilian or military? The reason I ask is based on my experience (civilian), being on a moving firing line, bounding, or doing Australian peels with complete strangers (or even guys you know) can be a pretty harrowing experience (albeit fun).

 

For example: at the first class I ever attended I managed to almost seriously f**k myself by not moving backwards at the same speed as the line, and found myself parallel to the muzzle blast of the guy next to me A safety officer was kind enough to grab the back of my shirt and help me along double-time (Thanks Joel )

 

Consider that a lesson learned that I will NEVER forget, and I have applied it to classes I've taken since. But that is the point of training/classes, to learn from mistakes when you can, while under proper safety supervision. I don't have tons of training, or the budget to get hundreds of hours of it (again civilian), but I am confident enough that you could drop me in with 2 or 3 similarly skilled individuals and we could avoid killing each other

Back to the lighter side, and back on topic:

 

Heavy (holed up somewhere):

Savage 308

(2) AR15s

1911

 

Medium:

AR15

Win 1300

1911

 

Light and fast:

LW AR15

HK USP C.40

 

ETA: I had to google "scrolling the road"... Everyday you learn something new

Hey guys. Based on the level of Zombie Vigilance displayed here on this section of the forum, you probably already know about these targets. Just in case you have not seen them, enjoy. Oh Yeah, if it were me, M4 with JSP's, Remington 870 7-shot with 00 Buck, and my Colt 1911 and M9 on the hips. I'd go heavy all the time.

Where in the hell do they offer classes like that? Sounds pretty cool.

In a large scale Zombie outbreak there are multiple major threats to survival, living and dead. I hope to fortify the house and Bug In, only leaving for supplies when needed.

Supply Runs - Stealth is the key. I'll have my Ruger PC4 carbine and my Ruger P944 - both 40 cal and both use the same magazines. I'll also carry a sword (for which I do have training).

If I expect to encounter resistance I'll have the M4gery and the XD-45, the shotgun will remain accessable.

If I need to eliminate living threats I'll then bust out the remington 700 "Long Range" 308 and the hunting rifles.

Since gunshots will draw unwanted attention I'll have to get in touch with my Ninja Roots (being 6'7" and 380 the roots are distant and small.)
