Post Race!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Can visualad, timeshifter, mendhak, ILMV, and Atheist come back too?

Isn't timeshifter banned?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Decapitation doesn't sound right, though burning the bodies does. I just thought that shooting them in the head was sufficient. Decapitation requires considerably closer contact to a potentially diseased corpse. That seems pretty risky. Do you have to do your hunting with a full hazmat suit?

[dday9]

visualad posted something here about 2 pages back and Atheist helped me on a C++ question I had a while back too.

[Shaggy Hiker]

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.

Hazmats are not usually necessary as the virus isn't airborn and the suits can slow you down, rip easily, reduce visibility, etc. although I do use them on occasion when disposing of large numbers of zombie corpses. Lightweight armour capable of blocking any skin contact and preventing infected wounds is my preference.

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.

[FunkyDexter]

KFC? Switch to Popeyes!

The trouble ith Popeyes is that I've had all I can stand and I just can't stand any more. It's a very real issue for me.

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.

You have some impressive guns, however, I have read some bad things about the Ruger and would not use it in any sort of anti-zombie capacity. I often use Winchester rifles and ammunition and can thoroughly endorse them to anyone with a zombie hunting permit.

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!

I'm a big advocate for a crack barrel 16 gauge. For one reason, they're great for small game(squirrels, rabbits, etc.). The other reason is because if you are looking to use it for self defense, then you can incapacitate the attacker without killing him/her.

[dclamp]

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?

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?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think you should get a side-by-side double barrel 12, or even 10, guage with such a twitchy trigger that you are sure to discharge both barrels every time you fire the thing.....then let Newton teach the next lesson.

[Shaggy Hiker]

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.

[dday9]

12 gauges can be loud.

[dday9]

Plus if it has a full choke then they can kick real hard too.

[Shaggy Hiker]

No choke...full throttle!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Don't try to understand that. It's only a post race post.

[dday9]

Post.

[dday9]

Race.

Amateurs love them.

Spoken like a real zombie.

The other reason is because if you are looking to use it for self defense, then you can incapacitate the attacker without killing him/her.

Yep, although they can incapacitate larger animals they are not that effective at bringing them down, and are therefore only good for amateurs with highly questionable aiming capabilities.

I traded my shotgun for a high powered lightweight elephant gun, the business.

Well if I lived in that area, my shotgun would already be racked. Or I would just leave the house.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Nothing better than a nice rack.

[sharpCode#]

Hey guys how many fellow aussies regular vbf?

[dday9]

You know your a redkneck when your gun rack, got a gun rack on it.

[dday9]

Hey, I just realized that I have 40,000 post and this post won't affect it because it's in the CC

That last post was my edit.

40k! Who am I JMcIlhinney?!

[dday9]

I got into it with him the other day...

[dclamp]

Please share.

[FunkyDexter]

I got into it with him the other day...

Hot tub? Jaccuzzi? Tapioca?

[dday9]

An argument over the fact that I helped somebody with an obvious homework question.

[dday9]

The guy put forth 99% of the effort but his teacher told him that he had to include the Try/Catch/Finally statement.

[dday9]

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.
