I'll help if I can. I am a former corrections officer so maybe I can give you a break down on holing up in a jail or prison. I am currently a security contractor in Kosovo, take that with a grain of salt this isn't high speed low drag or anything just sitting in a tower. I carry an M-16 and have som...

Thanks for the info TXgunnersM8, mine is obviously out of date. How many of your shipmates are into shooting and are any good at it. I was pretty disappointed at the level of marksmanship among the army types I am hanging out with these days. Also I have heard the Navy is putting together some force...

I once caught someone's fist in my hand kungfu style while it was flying towards my face. That ended the fight right there before it started. I also once broke a man's during a fight. That also ended things. Of the two I have to think the second is the most effective since the guy with the broken ar...

Try the various volumes of "The Poor Man's James Bond" at least one of them had info about the process.

Also see if your library or a local book store has any books on reloading. There should be a chapter or two in a decent reloading manual.

After buying all the stuff that you'd need to make these bullets, wouldn't you be able to buy thousands of bullets with the same amount of money? Plus, I believe you can only make .22 caliber bullets this way. The cost of materials comes to about $.02 a round. That is a lot better then factory. If ...

It would all depend on the people involved.

Tommygun and others asking about making powder. There are tons of references and howto guides on the net. Also try going to amazon.com and searching for books on the subject. You will get hits for everything from reloading manuals and chemistry books to stuff from Paladin Press. I have even found fo...

http://ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=458607&page=1 I ran across this on Arfcom. I had no idea it could be done so easily. They even make dies for manufacturing pistol bullets using copper pipe for the jacket. This guy also says it is possible to make your own cartridge cases as well. No instr...

If you are using motoroil long term you want to use synthetics. Organic petroleum will break down and be harmful to your weapon after a while.

Also don't use simple green. It may be all right on a glock and something with a similar finish, but avoid it for any other gun.

Leave the camo stuff at home if you can. The Japanese have a thing about war and the US military. Part of it is there are a whole lot of US military stationed in Japan and they sometimes misbehave. (And the Japanese media loves to blow those incidences way out of proportion.) Especially leave the Ma...

I think the Navy will be a non starter when it comes to getting off the ships. They don't have a firearm for everyone on board and nothing like a large supply of ammunition for the firearms they do have. Sure a carrier battle group might have a platoon of SEALS and a couple squads of Marines guardin...

Learn to load and reload your weapon in a smooth an efficient manner with as few steps as possible I have lost count of the number of active duty and former military many of them with combat experience I have seen that can't load an M-16 without making it into a giant complicated clusterfuck. Here ...

Buy a helicopter and learn how to use it. Seems like the only way. As for realistic transportation how about an offroad/touring motorcycle similar to the new Buell Oddessy. BMW also makes one. They are light manueverable, can carry a lot of gear and can go off road. People regularly run Baja with th...

I would try to use my mobility against the undead. Going through backyards and hopping fences seems a bit smarter then walking down the road. Mark Macyoung has a book on street E&E with a couple great tips on fences, backyards, and such. Also if I am scavenging I am gonna hit up individual houses be...

A good flashlight might be useful since in all the documentaries I have ever seen a significant amount of the action takes place in low lighting.

Florida used to have a naval militia equipped by the state. And our civil airpatrol had weapons installed on their civillian aircraft during WW2, they even sunk a nazi uboat with them.

Sadly none of that has survived to this day.

I have a little black book I carry on me everywhere. It has spaces for name and number as well as address and email. Very useful to be able to pull it out for when I need more then a phone number.

I'll take one of each in basic black thanks.

Seriously the first time I saw one of those desert camo glocks my first thought was: "Gee, it would sure suck to drop that thing the desert and not be able to find it."

Yeah but now-a-days you can go 10 ft without hitting a building or a condo or something, at least thats the way it is on the east coast, I can't vouch for the gulf side of FL. Just pointing out that there are some historical parallels. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it and all ...

Back in the old days there were no roads between the settlements in Florida. All contact with th eoutside world was made by ship. Except for the mail. Mail carriers used to walk the coasts with huge bags of mail and minimum supplies. They would live off the land and have to E&E from hostile indians....

I used to have a neighbor (we have both moved but keep in touch) who was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. He used to keep smoke grenades handy for when he found something his lightly armed scout helicopter couldn't deal with to mark targets for the Cobras and fixed wing crowd. He told me that they ten...

I was bullshitting with a supervisor at work the other day and we were complaining about the old crappy assault rifles we use here. I came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what weapon I have. I would get the job done if I was carrying a flintlock muzzleloader. It is in the skills and attitud...

I had one of these until it was taken by German air port security on my way home on vacation.

They said it was to pointy or something. It was really useful, darn Germans.
