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.

I have a Ruger Mark III with a threaded barrel. Not many rounds through it, but so far it appears to be a good zombie gun as well. The Burris Fastfire 3 on it is sweet!

I keep telling myself I don't need a Ruger Mark III. I think I'm losing. Seems like
'the Hunter' would be a great zombie gun.

I didn't technically get a Mark III. I actually got this one with the two picatinny rails.

I was going to ask how you mounted the Burris fastfire on the mark III.

I have a Mark III Hunter with the fluted barrel. When I bought it the
top of the barrel was already drilled, tapped and fitted with filler
screws. All I had to do was back out the fillers and install a small
piece of Weaver rail. I assume that was done at the factory and not
the previous owner.
