Chapter 31 Family Ties Part 2

Saw this video today and it reminded me of Burt, notice the hunting accident at 1:07. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef201LbbAPE
We can rebuild him... Purvis's Glen's got tools. OK the song's not that great, but the video is cool. If anyone does like the song, you can register at http://www.jackandzac.com/ for a free, legal download.

Also, have to share this with everyone:

Yesterday I was doing some demo work on my old house when I grabbed a board and an unseen nail stuck my finger. "Ouch" I screamed like a girl. Then I had a thought, "Don't be a pussy, Burt just had his finger chopped off and you're whining like a baby about a nail poke that didn't even break the skin."

Other thoughts while working:

Could Ink/pinstripe zombie be the one who raped Scratch?

I'd hate to see Burt die, but I can (sadly) see the story play out as Burt sacrificing himself to help Lizzy escape. When the baby is born later, Saul and Lizzy try to decide on a name. Lizzy suggests "Burt" in his honor and Saul says "Yeah, he'd like that."

Don't forget Kalani's conversation with Sean as the Other Tower was being over run (Chapter 27, Part 3):

Kalani: "Where are the guns?"
Sean: "They're locked up".
Kalani: "Where?"
Sean: "On the other side of where we are".

The issue wasn't a lack of guns, or inadequate time to get them. It's that the residents weren't trusted to keep their weapons with them, so they were all sitting, useless, in an arms room.

That's it, I was trying to remember that conversation

This is a representation of Shirley and her bullets

Actually, if you look close, that's a .44 Desert Eagle (see the number below and near the end of the barrel). A .50AE is a slightly larger round.

How could Scratch have destroyed her. Oh, so sad.. I weep..nooooo..

Apparently quite easily.....with a hammer....

I'm gonna call a bit of dramatic license with the beating death of Shirley. I've never fired a .50 Desert Eagle, but have held one and that is one big hunk of metal that would take one hell of a beating to destroy.

About a false floor board in Locked and Loaded that contain a secret gun, Shirley II ;-)

Possibly, every true gun nut would have a few goodies stashed in secret hidey holes. Not that I'd know.

notice the word representation... not the word actual. I found what I could find and a .44 makes a fucking huge hole as well. Moot point. Being shot with a .44 will blow a man's knee off rendering him dead without skilled medical assistance via an operating theater.

My two cents on the whole "Who/what branch/solders vs marine vs God shoots better"
Its becoming bullshit people seriously the entire point of shooting a human being in combat is to kill them. In practice I'm not the strongest of marksmen but by god I can land bullets in center mass. Does it seriously matter if the bullet is dead center or just on the target? No the target will still die be it instantly or in a second and a half later. Its insulting to listen to my fellow brothers in arms talk to each other the way you all have been. So knock it off. You are all member of the same thing the United States Military....

Just a gun nut being picky. Agreed, both will put a big ass hole in someone.

My personal opinion, the Desert Eagle is a cool looking gun, but in a SHTF situation something lighter weight, less recoil and holding more rounds is a more practical choice.

Its also really not a great gun for reliability I've been reading.
