Zombies are coming!!!!

as long as they arent swarming you, and you have the luxury of picking them off at distance it's just fine. a .22 will hollow out a domepiece quite nicely at range

I was recently reading a magaizne article and some hunters, survivalists, and other shooting enthusiats were talking about the merits of a magnum .22.

For those curious, a magnum round is simply a bullet that hold more powder in it that a standard bullet.  More powder equals more velocity and energy behind the bullet.

So, if you were a person doing a long range hike, trek, or were going to be in the rough for an extended amount of time, and wanted to carry as much ammo with you as possible, along with a ton of other supplies... the weight of over 100 rounds of magnum .22 would be easier to deal with than carrying the over 100 rounds of 9 mm.

The idea of a .22 magnum used for hunting is actually very feasible and could be useful in zombie killing.  Cost, weight, and overall efficiency would be pretty good.  However, I still have niggling doubts on the idea that a .22 is enough bullet to do the sufficient brain damage to a zombie to drop it without needing a 2nd round.

You should talk to my ex fiance then paul. Her father went boar hunting with a .22 magnum and bowie knife. It was a silly ritual where 12 guys surrounded the boar and one of them was chosen to use the .22 magnum pistol to bring it down. Impressive power behind that little bullet, depite being at 20' range.

It is illegal to hunt "big" game, i.e., deer bear, etc, with a .22 as it has negligible killing power unless it is a penetrating head shot.  And unless you are using a jacketed bullet, it might not penetrate.  Hunting squirrel, rabbit, etc is fine.

I highly doubt I am going to care about the "legality" of using .22 ammo when killing zombies, who usually can only be killed with penetrating HEAD SHOTS. 

Zombie Survival Class.

Never let it be said that the people in NYC and especially in Brooklyn don't know the seriousness of the threat of zombies.
