The Ultimate Anti-Zombie Rifle: The Ruger 10/22

So the dead have risen and have started to feast on the flesh of the living. What kind of rifle would be best to ensure your survival? The Ruger 10/22 of course, and this video explains why.

I recently read Max Brooks' World War Z and that got me thinking that if the zombie apocalypse does happen, I'm getting my hands on a Ruger 10/22, a 9mm pistol, as much ammo as I can find, a machete and a boat to take me to Greenland ASAP.

Great video.

I'm partial to the Mini-14. The .223 round is powerful enough for longer distance shots. I have a tough old M-14 I use for hunting - it's lightweight, versatile, has a 25 shot banana clip (now illegal in Canada), and accurate. I'd be more confident in it's killing power than the .22.

It also looks magnitudes more badass.

Bullshit. A suppressor does not make a bullet subsonic. That is done with special ammunition made to limit the sonic signature; at the cost of range. A suppressor will muffle the sound of the bullet, it has no effect on the grain of the shell which propels the bullet.

Watch this video on a silenced 22.

He forgot to mention that suppressors generally get very hot to the touch with sustained fire (meaning an assload of zombies). Generally when there are a shit load of zombies, they would already have alerted other zombies to your position by means of moaning (Extensively talked about in the Zombie Survival Guide). At that point a suppressor is superfluous. Extensive use of the suppressor can damage erode the baffles eventually the suppressor will no longer work.

You will also need a threaded barrel on which to mount the suppressor.

Did he mention cleaning the suppressor, or the gun? Oh, boy.

I dunno where I stand.

Another possible consideration is multiple target penetration, which I think the 0..22 would due nicely.

Without thinking to hard, I'd prolly agree with video-maker for logistics, and ease of maintenace.

But I'd seriously consider 0.222 semi-auto on the basis of accuracy and tissue destruction

I've heard that the .222 is a beautiful caliber. They are highly sought after in the north because they are very accurate. Ammo is an issue though, as it's not a common caliber and ammo would be difficult to find.

I'm sticking with the .223.>> ^Raaagh:
