Quiet counts when shooting zombies.

Exactly. Everyone knows a zombie is attracted to noise.

The Walking Dead is entertaining, but there are considerable gaps in
the plot. 3-4 year old gas just seems to happily run. And it took
forever for them to start using suppressed AR's. I'm not sure I've
ever seen a .22 on the show. A suppressed .22 would be a perfect
zombie eliminator.


Yeah, the gas thing usually makes me chuckle. Although, anecdotally,
I have seen gas weed-eaters that were not drained start after about 3
years. They did NOT run happily, though...

Your average .22 doesn't look impressive enough for a
post-apocalyptic
TV show... that's probably why we don't see them. If you look online,
though, you can see a lot of manufacturers that make a .22 in an AR-like
configuration. I've been tempted to buy one. Seems like it would be an
insanely fun (and cheap) plinker.

Absolutely. S&W M&P 15/22. Eats anything thrown at it, tons of fun,
can be made very quiet if that's your thing.


Ahh.. the key to surviving any apocalypse. A gun that doesn't care
what you feed it. That's what I like about my SR9.


The M&P 15-22 is a fine, fun rifle. I had one for about two years. A
silencer and subsonic ammo will fire quietly, as far as the ammo goes,
but the reciprocating parts of the rifle are noisy. I sold mine to buy a
bolt action CZ 455... *very quiet* with the silencer attached.

But slow. A zombie will bite you while cycling the bolt. And 5 rounds won't stop a zombie crew.

if you're going to use a rifle for zombies, you'd better get one that'll carry a
bayonet.

I guess my M1A qualifies and I imagine I can also mount a rifle
grenade launcher but I have never actually seen one.
If we wanted to send explosives down range on the ship, we would use
our 5" gun.
Out to about 17,000 yards, with the right projectile, it will take out
every zombie in about a 25 meter radius, wound a bunch more a tad
farther out
