5 Weapons for the Zombie Apocalpyse

Picture this, a horde of zombies are approaching your door. But, as death slowly approaches you, you make a run for the local gun shop which is only a block away. Once you enter it, you come across the most extensive armory that you have ever seen.

With a limited amount of backpack space you come to the conclusion that you can only grab 1 weapon. If the zombie apocalypse falls upon us and you find yourself in this predicament, here are 5 guns that you definitely should consider when it comes to mowing down a horde of zombies. Here are some great suggestions. Thanks to Zombie Gear Dude for this great post. Check out his zombie weapons and zombie survival kits.

1) AR-15
Now this choice is a no-brainer. Unless you aren’t very disciplined when it comes to the concept of using semi, instead of giggle, you’ll find that this gun is an excellent choice. When you’re faced with a horde of zombies you don’t want to waste ammo and since it is durable, handy and lightweight it’s an ideal weapon to use against a horde of zombies, regardless if it’s for long range or short range targets.

2) Heckler & Koch G3
The Heckler is regarded as being a very dependable rifle which is commonly used in most European countries. It also operates on a rolling-block system. What this means is that unlike other rifles there’s no reason to disassemble in. Meaning for instance, unlike an M4 carbine which needs to be continuously clean because of the carbon build-up, this rifle can be used continuously without any instances of a jam. It also has an amazing accuracy at 1,500 yards and uses a .308 round.

3) Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge
Even though the 12 gauge shotgun is a common gun that you would find in various zombie movies, there’s a very good reason why this is the case. It simply provides a multitude of benefits that could prove to be handy during a zombie apocalypse. For starters you could use it on the run to either slow down or stop a horde of zombies. You could also grab some breaching rounds so that you could breach doors on the go.

4) Remington Model 798 Bolt Action Hunting Rifle
When it comes to conducting some good sniper action against a horde of zombies, a good bolt action rifle such as the 798 would be an excellent choice. Some of the neat accessory that could be attached to this gun include a scope and a suppressor which would be perfect when it comes to reaching out and dispatching them at ranges of up to 400 yards.

5) AK-47
The AK-47 cartridge must be doing a good job because it is regarded as being the most common rifle cartridge in the worlds. Time after time, it has proven to be very effective against, objects, animals and people. Needless to say, it would do an excellent job at mowing down zombies. One of the primary reasons why this would also be an excellent choice is the fact that it uses a 7.62 mm round which itself is larger that the bullets that are used with the AR 15/16 as well as the M4 carbine.

There you go, everything you need boys and girls. If anyone has any suggestions or comments please feel free to drop them below and let me know what you think.

The gun control debate is all over the news these days thanks to the mass shootings and terrorist actions going on not only in the U.S. but around the world. Some people think that the elimination of weapons will change things for the better, while others suggest that having everyone armed would also curtail the violence. During a show in Pratteln, Switzerland Monday night (June 27), Slayer frontman Tom Araya offered his opinion on the topic.

During a break in the action, Araya addressed the crowd. “Is it true that every household has to own a rifle or a gun? No? I thought everybody was supposed to have a rifle or a gun in their home. It’s not right? How else are you gonna defend your country,” started the singer.

He went on to add, “You should be able to protect and defend your country. That’s the way it should be everywhere. ‘Cause when you don’t have anything to protect yourself or your fellow countrymen, what happens? People f–king die. They do! Don’t they? Yeah. You can see it going on.”

Continuing his thought, Araya stated, “I’m not gonna name names, but you can see what’s going on in other countries. ‘Cause they can’t protect themselves. And that’s what I’m talking about: being able to protect yourself and your fellow countrymen and your f–king country. I’m being serious, man. This isn’t a f–king joke. You know, it really sucks to know that other people die, because you can’t protect them. That f–king sucks.”

The commentary came in the lead up to Slayer’s performance of “Mandatory Suicide.” You can see Araya sharing his thoughts and the performance of the song in the fan-shot video posted above.
