The Revised Zombie survival "kit"

Step 7: The Primary Weapon.

This is where the fun begins, what firearm should you buy? this is serious however, you need to think that you will be using it in the most grueling conditions imaginable for a firearm, and then make a wise decision.

1# Assault Rifles

Obviously, in previous wars with Vietnam and gulf war, The m-16 and m-4 proved themselves to be the Most Unreliable firearm in the world. although it's better then nothing, the m-16, in layman's terms, sucks.......badly. Popular American arrogance has brain-washed people into believing that America has the "best" weapons, clearly it does not. 

   However...there is a way to atone for your arrogance, Join the AK side of the force..... the AK-47 is not only used by over fifty countries as their infantry's primary weapon , but it is one of the best and cheapest assault rifles out their, in Africa you can buy a AK-47 for roughly 50$, meaning it costs roughly Three cows and  two goats just to buy one of the most amazing assault rifles on this planet. However... something to consider when buying a AK-47...Can you handle it?  In all seriousness in this Instructable, the AK has the kick of a mule, it will kick like Chuck Norris does. You would have to train for handling such a beast, while with the M-16 a ordinary gun-happy teenager could shoot the M-16 just by video game experience and a brief tutorial from a person who knows proper gun maintenance. Their is another problem that comes to mind when considering buying a AK-47.... how are you going to obtain it? the company sells fully automatic rifles only to military personnel, you can however obtain a "civilian" version of the AK-47, this is however...not a assault rifle, but you still can convert them illegally, this is however very illegal... and you would be in jail for approximately 20-30 years, maybe more if unlucky... but with a M-16 you can strut around with it in public like some gun-toting rooster, popular American arrogance at its finest!

2# Semi-Automatic Rifles

This genre of firearms is best suited against zombies and a few human attackers, as they have usually a bigger round, better accuracy when dealing with medium-long distance targets and some older semi-auto rifles include bayonets, which is a valuable asset when your rifle jams or is out of ammunition. Another reason to purchasing a older military model, is that the older military models usually are chambered for a bigger round.Take in consideration the M-1 Garand, It is chambered for the impressive 30-06, which is a bigger round then the 7.62x39 MM, and it has better accuracy at longer range. The M-1 Garand is also more simple then the AK-47 in terms of number of parts, and is easier to acquire legally. good Garands are hard to come by, and those that do have a hefty price tag (In most cases).
If you wish to purchase a Ultimate Zombie Fuckulator, you will not be disappointed with the sheer power of the M-1 Garand!

3#The Shotgun


Ah....The Shotgun...One of the few Classical U.Z.F.'S. The shotgun is a Superior weapon when dealing with humans and zombies alike due to its ability to kill multiple attackers at close range. Because of the lead balls inside the buck-shot, it can be used to kill at least four or six human attackers, and may have the ability to disable about three or four zombies with a well placed shotgun blast, making it a superior weapon for close-range encounters. There is lots of variants of shotguns, from double-barreled turkey shotguns, to the Spaz-12. When picking out a shotgun, take under consider what it was designed to do. For instance, The Benneli M4 Super 90, a semi-automatic shotgun designed for the U.S. military, is the Ultimate Zombie Fuckulator in the shotgun class, because of it's ability of attaching accessories such as night sights, scopes and possibly a GRENADE LAUNCHER! This is of course if you can obtain a grenade launcher.
 I suggest this type of firearm for people not use to firing guns, because accuracy isn't a terrible issue when it comes to shotguns.

4#Lever/Bolt-Action RIfles

  Although some consider these archaic weapons, some are not actually bad to have. Most are reliable. the M-1 Springfield and the Mauser 98k would be the best choice, the M-1 Springfield's 30-06 round can still be bought, opposed to the Mauser's 8 mm Mauser round. These weapons however, i advise not to buy because older military firearms are usually not available and/or the ammunition used is no longer available.



The next section will be about your secondary weapon.

Your primary weapons are guns, all i need is a Katana, I have excellent sword skills, but im unfit but i could go on forever when it comes to slice n' dice with the undead.

I beg to differ on the UZF shotgun.

The MPS AA-12 is much, MUCH more impressive than the Benelli. Scopes aren't all that necessary with a shotgun (especially if you're giving the weapon to a less-than-proficient user), the odds of coming across a grenade launcher & ammo are too low to consider, and while a nightsight would be nice, if you're going to be using low-light or no-light vision systems you don't want to limit your field to that of a scope.

plus a grenade launcher is not the best choice of weapon in a zombie attack, in my book i would take a hunting knife over a grenade launcher, for the reason that you can aim where the grenade goes but there is no absolute shot it will get, and trying to hit 7-8 heads with it is slim chanced

I am not aware of the MPS AA-12, could you send me a Private message so that i can make further improvements on this instructable.

A decent review can be found here:
http://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=262

Keep in mind though, this weapon is not available to the public in any form, it is a military only weapon -- if you can find one, it certainly makes for the ultimate in zombie fuckulation.

Video can be seen here:

Near-zero recoil, fires standard pellet, rubber, slug ammo, as well as FRAG-12 grenades (not much use against zombies, but fire it into an oncoming raider's engine block and you'll sleep better), little to no cleaning (10,000 rnds between cleanings), selective fire Auto, Burst, Single shot, oh yeah, this would be my weapon of choice, if I had the choice.

Good luck finding one though, it does sound like the..

As far st the 8mm ammo, it's a hard find, not an "impossible" find. We still use an old Mauser for dear hunting sometimes.

Actually I own both an AK and an AR both have valuable merits the AR is more accurate but the AK will work in the most cruddy condition. This is because of the tolerances each is built within.
repear9 (author) in reply to 1991flhtNov 22, 2010. 5:10 AM
yeah and given a choice for optimum long-term service, i would choose the Ak and use the Ar only in emergencies or when ammunition for the ak has been depleted.

the only time my m4 ever jammed was when i fired hundreds of blanks through it without cleaning or oiling it at all for like a week... blanks are particularly dirty in case you didnt know and also for a group of raiders i would rather have well placed semi automatic shots than an ammunition wasting spray of automatic fire especially when ammo is in limited supply... not saying i wouldnt prefer an ak47 for the situation (mainly because i like the 7.62x39 round a lot) just saying that people underestimate the reliability factor when they think about m4 style rifles also the russian mosin nagant bolt action rifles are cheap (roughly $100 thats what i got mine for) accurate and shoot a 7.62x54 which is also rather cheap ( i got 880 rounds for like $175) also they generally come with a bayonet
also for the melee weapon i dont know if youve ever seen the e-tools that the army uses (those folding shovels) but you can cut down small trees dig holes and it would have no problem smashing some skulls it seems like a pretty useful tool to me thats all just my imput and suggestions i duno how you feel about any of that sorry if i kind of rambled a bit there and about the lack of punctuation and spelling errors my keyboard is kinda crappy these days

The M4 carbine is the second most advanced gun on thhe planet and since America is the best we use them

Great advice!
However, in the section "Lever/Bolt-Action RIfles" you did not mention the British Lee- Enfield, which has a high rate of fire(for a bolt-action rifle), good accuracy, and readily available amunition.
