"I like the AK47 style rifle for its ease of use and reliability (if you buy one from a respected manufacturer such as Arsenal or Saiga that is) and the Glock 17 for the same reasons. The 7.62x39 round is also good for any hostile human combatants…"

"I'd go with CJ from Dawn of the Dead '04, Tallahassee, whoever Emma Stones character was from Zombieland, and finally Claire Redfield from the RE movies."

"Yeah I know getting a real assault rifle is difficult, but I'm just saying a semi auto only isn't technically a assault rifle. The closest thing to a mil-spec M4 you can get is probably a Colt 6920."

"A battle rifle can also be a bolt action, the only thing a battle rifle needs for its designation is a full power round. A assault rifle can't only be semi auto it has to have more than one firing mode, shoot a intermediate cartridge such as…"

"Pretty much what Josh said. Also don't forget the ridiculous weight of both the weapon AND the ammo. The gun itself weighs close to 30 pounds."

"Can anyone give me a list of the benefits of a .50 caliber sniper aside from it being in video games? If your heart is really set on a sniper rifle something chambered in .223 or .308 would be WAY more practical."

"Amazing job this actually looks pretty legit."

"Great post, don't forget to add the Beretta 92 in there just for the fact our military issues it as well."

"I agree in a post apocalyptic world you wanna know your gun is going to work every time, who knows when your gonna have enough downtime to actually break down and clean the weapon. Of course you need to buy a quality one in order to get that…"

"Make sure you put an adjustable gas plug in your garand since most common 30-06 hunting ammo will have adverse affects on the weapon since those rounds are made to different specs then the garand was originally made to handle."

"The main characters not chambering a round in their weapon every five seconds..."

"I agree I think the trade off of AK reliability in leu of range is worth it since in this type of scenario anything over 150 yards or even 100 yards should be avoided anyways. While the M4 platform definitely has better ergonomics and accuracy its…"

"Thats a great criteria list and the SKS is a good choice, but I may be kind of ignorant on this but isn't the M16/M4 platform kind of maintenance intensive in order to perform reliably? I know cleaning and maintenance is of the utmost…"

"No problem it was a good discussion."

"Oh ok I see what your saying about storing the ammunition, I guess there is just some minor difference in distribution of ammo from state to state in regards to what weapon your carrying on duty, and yeah I agree that you should be training and…"

"I agree that a stockpile of .38 exists, but with how many agencies nationwide are using the 9mm and .40 I seriously doubt they have more .38 then either of them. Im just curious where you got that fact from? In the areas where they still issue the…"
