visualad posted something here about 2 pages back and Atheist helped me on a C++ question I had a while back too.
Yeah, folks show up from time to time.
Guns are my first weapon of choice as one head shot is usually enough in 80+% of all cases. However, once the virus takes over the brain it induces shrinkage and in advanced cases the end result is a brain about the size of an alligator's (about 6 grams), making head shots much less effective. To compensate some hunters "double tap" i.e. use 2 bullets just to make sure, however, that doesn't always work either. The only way to be completely certain that the beasts are dead is to sever their heads from their bodies. As a hunter I savour the hollow sound a zombie head makes when it crashes onto a hard surface. Sometimes I use a knife to make an initial incision and a golf club to finish the job - although I have yet to make a hole in one.Quote:

Are you ACTUALLY a "prepper"
I have considered getting into "prepping" for some type of apocalypse because lets be honest, your last picture, I would be pretty excited too. Its not every day you get to shoot zombies. At the same time I have considered prepping for the inevitable "big one" that is going to hit California eventually... Considering my family is not prepped at all... I have wanted to get at least some basic supplies together... Haven't gotten around to that yet.
But I DO have my Glock 23, Ruger LC9, S&W AR15 Sport. So I am set to kill zombies.. just not survive. That god I studied up watching The Walking Dead.
Hmm he must be... I cant find his username in the members list.Quote:

I am more of a hunter than a prepper as I don't have a bomb shelter containing 2 years of long life food. Even so I spot more and more zombies every single day and have given up pretending that I am not in the midst of a zombie war. The apocalypse, i.e. winning, is what gets me out of bed in the morning.Quote:

My next (and probably last for a while) will be a shotgun. Not sure what kind yet. I use the Ruger LC9 for when I conceal carry only. I tried concealing the rifle, didnt go so well!Quote:

Shotgun is probably one of the best home defense weapons in my opinion. Plus the sound of racking a shotgun is so intimidating
I agree on both points, but I have something to say about the second point. Plus this is the post race so why the hell not?Quote:

Where I live a big crime is what's known as kick-door. The thugs(generally gang members) will literally kick a door down with guns in hand, raid the house and shoot to kill anyone they see. The sound of pumping a shotgun tells the robbers A) that you're in the house and B) you have a shotgun. So they know where you are will shoot their fully automatic guns in your direction.
Sure, but why did you put it all in one post?Quote:

I've only fired shotguns a couple times, but it left me with one firm conclusion: I need about two layers of hearing protection for those things. Handguns are fine, shotguns...well, my hearing isn't great to begin with, and I'd rather not rid myself of the rest of it.
12 gauges can be loud.
Plus if it has a full choke then they can kick real hard too.
No choke...full throttle!
Don't try to understand that. It's only a post race post.
Post.
Race.
Amateurs love them.Quote:

An argument over the fact that I helped somebody with an obvious homework question.
The guy put forth 99% of the effort but his teacher told him that he had to include the Try/Catch/Finally statement.
It was a scenario where Integer or Double's TryParse method would've been better, but what I did was literally take what he had provided and added the Try/Catch/Finally for him.
Quite a few, including the #1 poster on the forum.Quote:

I just don't know why he called me out like that...
A pet peeve...well, maybe a semi-domesticated peeve. .Paul. tends to provide whole answers to homework problems, which drives some other folks crazy...and then there's a third set who were crazy to begin with. It drives them sane again, so it all balances out pretty nicely.
Hitting a zombie in the head means there is no need to decapitate. =DQuote:

Contrary to appearances JM's human like the rest of us. I didn't see the thread in question but I'm willing to bet his frustration was really with the questioner rather than you, you just happened to in the firing line when he went pop. Lazy posters are a huge peeve of his but he usually just ignores those who answer the lazy.
