Lock'n Loaded - Guns, Ammo, Military and Survival Stuff

As a firearms enthusiast who owns and customizes several personal guns I think the Firearms are depicted very well. I only ask, how are people besides Michael, Angel and Saul carrying their sidearms gear and ammo? Those 3 are wearing LBE and mag pouches which makes it easy. I can't imagine people stuffing pistols and mags in their pockets and being very effective at deterring zombie threats.

As for Burts amazing (attempted) shot at Inky.... If he's an established trick shooter I'd be willing to bet he's dabbled in cowboy action shooting, which involves quick draws and showdown type shots. Back to the target, timer rings, about face/draw/fire. Not outside the realm of possibility...remember he missed, if he would've made the shot it would've seemed more unbelievable I think.

PS Colt .45 can also be a 1911 pistol, holding between 6 and 8 rounds traditionally.

And as for the jams, improperly maintained firearms WILL jam. Even though Burt is in charge of firearm maintenance, im willing to be it doesn't get done nearly as much as it should. Ask any soldier, learn to take care of your weapon, an it will take care of you.

Ok Troops,

Somewhere, in one of these many threads, I remember someone saying that their ideal anti-Zombie loadout would include "two 45 Automatics". That person's in luck, because now it's possible to have that in one hand. Here's a link to the new Arsenal Double-Barrel 45: http://www.arsenalfirearms.com/produ...-barrel-pistol

Holy Cats! How does that thing fire more than one round without heat messing with the other barrel? It looks cool as hell, and I'd love to have one.

Also, a wetsuit doesn't encumber your movement like many other clothing choices would with the same benefits.

As for weaponry: ranged weaponry, I might choose a .22 with CB caps. Basically it causes you firing to sound more like a thud than a bang.
For melee, I know you chose a hammer, but I would lean more towards an ice pick. The kind that climbers use.

J0be,

The problem with a wetsuit is that you'll overheat and die.

Again everyone, go to Amazon to create your survival or weapons list then share it with us.

The answer for best melee weapon has to be a morning star. You may have issues finding one however.

Weight is an issue with a morning star and if you miss there's a helluva lot of weight that's going to drag you in its wake, making it difficult to regain your composure for strike #2.

It's meant for a stun (which is a non-issue to zombies) or a one-shot kill. Accuracy and tremendous arm strength are both necessities for this weapon. Groups are also going to be a problem, see reasons above.

Fill it with shot and it becomes a dead-blow hammer writ large.
