I believe you can put a .308 upper on an AR-15 lower. Please correct
me if I'm wrong.

The .308 magazine won't fit into a standard AR15 magazine well. There are custom ones. For the standard lower, the .300 Blackout or 7.62x39 is the way to go.


AR-10 parts aren't quite as interchangeable in general as most
AR-15's. I'll admit that is somewhat of a drawback. However, if the
"deer" turn on us, I'd feel better with a .308.

If the zombies ever come, an AR-15 would be more than enough.
Of course, I would not want to waste the power of an AR on a zombie
unless I had to. A good shot with a .22 hollow point should be just as
effective in dropping them from mid-range. A lot quieter, too.

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.

I've often thought of flying out to Hollywood to give them advice, especially when I
see 'Army officers' with totally dicked up uniforms.

Not to mention auto batteries. They must use Duracell in the southern US with a good date ten years into the future.

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.

I am amazed at the ribbons I see from time to time. They have guys in
"gulf war" movies with WWII campaign ribbons and such.
I also see them arranged out of order quite often. I suspect it might
just be a wardrobe girl who wants to put them in a pleasing
arrangement without actually understanding that they all mean
something.

I also recognize that there are a lot more medals awarded these days.
You can see pictures of guys you know were all over Europe and Asia in
WWII who don't have as many ribbons as teenaged colonels in the Air
Force today. When I worked at the pentagon it seemed every time a guy
moved down the hall, he got a new device of some sort. Some of those
pentagon guys looked like a 19th century Mexican general.

Yeah Greg.

Ahh.. the key to surviving any apocalypse. A gun that doesn't care

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.
