I have been seeing a lot of ammo and gear lately for use on Zombies so being one who likes to stay current and also liking to stay ahead of the curve I decided maybe I need to look into this walking dead thing. Anyway I had a Marlin Camp rifle in .45 ACP that was gathering dust I thought would make a perfect candidate for a short quick handing weapon for just such occasions. I changed the stock, added an electronic sight with some high capacity magazines and ended up with a perfect dead man blaster. ;D ;D ;D  Smile and wait for flash   |

Does your camp carbine eject the brass about 30 feet away like mine does?!  |

Does your camp carbine eject the brass about 30 feet away like mine does?! It used to before I replaced the recoil spring (Wolf) and recoil buffer (Power Custom). Now it drops them about 3' away. These 2 changes made a huge difference in the felt recoil, shot to shot recovery and loosing brass. |

I think I'll stick with a 22. It bounces around in their head and mushes the brain. Alot cheaper to shoot.

My uncle is a retired pathologist and he said the thing he wanted for home defence was a 22, because he had seen what they do inside the body. And I followed his lead. My home defence gun.  Bill |

Glad to hear I'm not the only 22 zombie gunner: if only headshots count and you have to shoot a bunch of moldy shamblers that are drawn to noise, I say arm as many people as you can with 10-22s and high caps packed with subsonic ammo. Or GSG 522s... with MkIIs and IIIs for backup.

I think I'll hang onto my M-forgery and ballistic tips in magpuls and a couple Surefire 60s in reserve If the zombie apocolypse occurs.

The main reason I did this is so that both rifle and handgun could use the same ammunition and magazines. Besides there is just something about a 200 grain Gold Dot doing 1100 FPS that turns me on. ;D ;D ;D
