I proposed the Cowboy method. At first they weren’t to keen on the idea but it may work best. The idea reduces the difference of rounds and combines the pistol and rifle calibers together relining on one standard round for both so more of that round may be carried and used. So far I have only found four rounds that compare to both weapons. The first two are the 45 long colt and the 357mag. (my fav. round). The third and forth is the 9mm and 22cal, now most people will say that the 9mm and 22cal are not good rifle rounds “well when the dead walk the earth I don’t think we can be to picky about what we use” and the 22cal (from what I’ve heard from others would be the best) but yeah it works.

You forgot about the 44 mag. I would expect it to be easier to find resupply ammo for a 44 mag than for a 45 Colt.

For almost all things SHTF/ZPAW/TEOFWAWKI my loadout is an SBR FN PS90 USG and an FN FiveseveN USG.
Reasons: Insanely accurate beyond 150yds, extremely reliable, compact/lightweight, ambidextrous, shares ammo, high capacity magazines, ammo is light, almost no felt recoil, and the FsN is one of the only modern semi auto handguns that can defeat virtually an body armor with loads from Elite. Another reason I've always liked SMG/PDW's is that I've taken some form of martial art since I was a kid and I still practice parkour today.

I can hide my entire loadout in a small backpack, including the PS90 and FsN. Rather than walking around during the PAW looking like a threat/target, I can look like a lost college kid if I'm even seen at all.

I realize it's not going to be a popular choice. I trust these firearms with my life though.

I currently stockpile ammo for:
5.7x28mm
.223/5.56
.308
9mm
380 Auto
.22lr

I reload for:
5.7x28mm
9mm
I am about to begin reloading for .223/5.56

Also the 357mag may also be substituted with the 38 special allowing mix and match ammo to your use the “pick it up you might need it kind of thinking.” Only draw back I see so far to this is that” yes yes” you will have to use revolver pistols and a lever action rifle slowing down your rate of fire. Also its harder to find the 45 long colt and the 357mag rifles these days. But when you find one you’ll probably find the pistol easy. Also I like it because the setup is built to last and can take a beating.

If you don't have the coin for the PS90 and happen to have a spare AR lower, you could always purchase the AR-57 upper and enjoy the sweet goodness of the 5.7 cartridge that way.

I knew there is a reason to buy one of these. 50 round mag that takes up no room below the rifle is pretty cool I have to admit.

Thank you. Personally, I think the CX4 is pound for pound the best 9mm carbine for civilians as far as accuracy and reliability. I strongly considered getting one before I purchased the PS90. The biggest detractor for me was it's length. If I could somehow put a folding/sliding stock on a CX4 like an MP5 I think I would have been all over one. I have seen some CX4's on arfcom that have AR15 stocks on them, I wonder if a folding stock is possible.

As for your wife, I think she'd love it. The first thing everyone says when they shoot it is "there is almost no recoil and it's amazingly accurate". Some think 5.7x28mm out of a 5" barrel is a bad choice because of the loss of velocity. However, most of Elite Ammunition's loads fired from a FiveseveN outperform all of the factory loads from a P90 with a 10" barrel, including the LE only SS190.

This sums up my general philosophy on walking. In fact, moving in general is not something I plan for if at all possible. Everyone else will be doing that. I'll take a pass.

But, if I've gotta walk, weight of ammo I can carry becomes a priority. Using 5.56/.223 or even .22 LR suddenly becomes fairly plausible. If I wanted to do shared calibers, I'd probably go for the 5.7mm myself, but the guns for that combo are not especially affordable. Decent, though.

Primary: AR-15 w 1x100rnd double drum, 5x30 rnd mag.
Secondary: Ruger 10-22 w 1x50 rnd drum mag, 1x10 rnd factory mag.
Sidearm: Walther P-22 w 2x 10rnd factory mags.
I don't believe in melee weapons.

I really need to pick up a proper shotgun(Saiga 12 is appealing, but the price has climbed quite a lot) and a heavier sidearm at some point, but at least ability to carry ammo is not a major concern for me.

That aluminum buffer tube isn't going to last very long when you have to use your rifle as a club. I don't think the A2 stock will do so well, either.

As for PCCs, they do make them in other calibers (45 ACP, 40 S&W, 10mm.) If I actually planned on making head shots on the undead, I'd pick up the following:

1 Glock 17
1 Keltec Sub2000

and as many reliable 31 round magazines as I could get my hands on. That saves me some space and weight and I can carry any melee weapons I may need. Ditch the shotgun, the gun and ammo isn't conducive to a mobile lifestyle.

As for the .22, I wouldn't bother. Cheap bulk .22 ammo is cheap for a reason. I've had too many mis-fires with them and leaving hi-cap 10/22 mags loaded makes the springs wear out faster and therefore less reliable.

Jim


I understand your train of thought, but why would you hate (for lack of a better term) on a rifle that will "run out of mags" and then use your loadout that relies on magazines as well?

Postby Einher » Sun Apr 24, 2011 9:54 pm

I've watched this thread derail and nearly die several times since the OP, but since it just got bumped again I'll answer the OP.
FYI - Images posted are not of my own firearms, they were obtained via google.

In my youth and as a teenager I had a very different picture of the optimal defensive firearms and survival equipment I thought I would own than I do currently, but my current "Zombie Apocalypse weapon setup" is:

(European) Semi-Auto Handgun; Tanfoglio-Witness (CZ-75 clone made in Italy)
I currently own the Tanfoglio-Witness in 9mm, I will be ordering the .22LR, .40S&W and .45 ACP conversions (slide, barrel, spring and magazine) as my finances allow in the next business year, and it's my current work-in-progress.
Eventual conversions may include .357SIG, .38 super, and 10mm.
Image
Other major contenders I considered were the Sig P228/P229 and Glock. I very much prefer SA/DA (SODA/DOSA) pistols over DAO or striker-fired handguns, but if I didn't I would have gone Sig or Glock. I am still experimenting with the Tanfoglio-Witness, but thus far I like it so much that I might eventually order the compact frame version for everyday CCW in addition to the full size frame for HD/PD/hunting/open carry.

(???) Revolver: I have not yet found a revolver that fits my tastes, nor do I own a revolver that I would personally consider a 'serious defensive weapon' (as opposed to a 'fun gun').
I have tested and previously considered the Ruger SP-101 or S&W j-frame (in .357 Mag), though the thought of owning either does not exactly drive me wild. Both the Ruger and S&W revolvers have a high parts availability and reputations of being superior revolvers for the price, but I'm just not ready to drop the dime on one just yet.
I'm not sure what kind of revolver I'm waiting to be developed, but I've not seen many revolver designs that have turned my head in recent years, though a modern Lematt revolver in .357 with single-shotgun shell underbarrel or a break-top revolver in .357Mag using the Rhino or Mateba low frame muzzle profile may rip the head right off my neck from my head turning so fast.
One of the most unusual things I want in a revolver is to be able to swap the original .357Mag/.38SPC cylinder for a secondary cylinder converted to use 9mm/.380/.38Super/.etc with moon or half-moon clips (which the SP-101 and J-frame can accommodate); This might seem like a strange requirement, but it takes a lot to get me interested in revolvers. Some folks consider revolvers able to fire .410/.45LC/.45ACP and .44Mag/.454Casull for similar reasons of ammunition availability, to each their own.

(American) Semi-Automatic Carbine (Colt AR-15 Match A3 style)
I own a pretty boring 20" HBAR in .223Rem that is a fairly 'bare bones' setup compared to some of the AR-15's I've seen dressed up on these forums. I haven't tacticalized it with a linear mile of picatinny rail-estate, and most everything on it is stock from the colt factory. I added an inexpensive (but decent) 3x10 scope on an elevated mount above the rear iron sight block and have mostly left it alone. The factory bayonet lug was chopped (Clinton Era), and I've not yet decided if I care enough about a missing bayo lug to install an aftermarket one or not.
Image
I also own a drop-in .22LR kit, but it is kept for emergency use only (since .22LR is dirty dirty stuff, and it will undoubtedly deposit unjacketed lead in the barrel). I tested it with some .22LR FMJ I had a box of a few years ago and cleaned it thoroughly afterward and haven't touched the drop-in kit since. I have considered purchasing dedicated upper receivers and magazines for the AR in .22LR, 5.7x28mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x39mm eventually

(American) Self-Loading Rifle (Springfield M1a Match)
Another rifle I've kept in 'boring' condition is a 22" HBAR in .308 (Classic M14 style, with a 2" birdcage flash disperser)
I added a bipod (that I have since removed), a quality scope rail and another decent (but fairly inexpensive) 3x10 scope and have mostly left it alone. I also have an original bayonet for it, though I have only attached it a handful of times and never for actual use.
Image
I once owned a G-3 clone (but eventually sold it) and I considered purchasing an FN-FAL at one point, but after I inherited a match grade M1A I decided my .308 needs were taken care of.

(Russian) Auto-loading Shotgun (Saiga-12 IZH-108)
Imported from RAA and purchased in 2006 (right as the import ban introduced in 2002 on them expired), I self-converted this shotgun from sporting to 'classic' AK configuration (which I made sure was 922r compliant) with a modified tapco FCG for an AKM (since pre-fitted FCG's for the Saiga shotgun were more expensive back in 2007, not today though).
Improvements to my Saiga shotgun has been an ongoing project over the years, as higher quality parts have slowly become more available and affordable; in particular, I am interested in the Chaos full receiver length quad rail (with the hinged dust cover access), the GunFixr or MD Arms multi-setting gas plug, and the MD ARMS drum magazines (I only own stick mags right now), as well as also currently awaiting a better S-12 magazine-well to hit the market.
Image
I'm not sure what my S-12 is going to eventually turn into, but I've considered turning it into more of a 'boat gun & emergency flare launcher' for utility and fowling than a defensive firearm (which I have plenty of). The Saiga has a lot of potential, but I'm not quite happy with mine as it is currently. I've thought about adding a 37mm launcher (but they can be kind of goofy), or I might decide to make a custom bullpup out of it. I couldn't say one way or another right now, but I've considered doing some crazy things with it.

BTW - This is what I would expect to have in a 'fortress holdout' situation or when relocating to a static BOL via motor transportation, as I have no intention of trying to carry all this equipment on foot. If I could not reach my destination by vehicle, I'm not sure which weapons I would choose to leave behind if I was alone and pedestrian; Necessities like Food, water and medications will take priority over extraneous weapons. If I had family or friends with me (all of whom can safely operate a firearm but only about half of whom own their own firearms), I imagine they'd quickly be on the dole.

Spare Firearms: M1911a1 (.45 ACP), BHP (9mm), Colt 1903 (.32 ACP), Ruger MkI 'Target' (.22 LR), and x2 Ruger 10/22 (.22 LR), and a handful of other firearms in odd calibers I won't bother to mention.

I will not bother listing melee weapons, since the farm I live on has enough hatchets, machetes, axes, saws and poles to outfit a small army of landscapers or farm workers.

This was a fairly long winded post for me, sorry about that.

if your AK does that, then what can my mosin nagant do?

anyway,
on foot: (weight is an issue)
Marlin 925r .22lr rifle on a homemade custom bullpup stock (I love customizing my guns), uh, probably a suppressor I'd obtain after the fall of government (and laws banning such things), and my centerpoint 4-16x40mm mil dot scope. scope zeroed for 25 yards. built-in bi pod. approx 9.5 lbs (yeah, that's a heavy .22)
my magazines- 1x7rd, 9x10rd
350 rounds spare ammunition: 150 rounds high velocity solid point, 100 rounds Remington subsonic, 50 rounds Remington ceebee (for hunting use), 50 rounds CCI CB Long
magazines: 50 rounds high velocity solid point, 47 rounds Remington subsonic.

Hi Point C9, magazine safety removed (its stupid), drop safety neutralized (it makes the gun rattle), feed ramp polished, cheap Fobus paddle holster (I think this is the only holster there is anyway), internals greased with lithium grease (which is waterproof and rarely ever needs to be reapplied)
6x8rd magazines, 5x10rd magazines that would be in the backpack.
150 rounds FMJ RN 124gr +P handloads, 200 rounds FMJ FP 124gr handloads: 48 rounds FP ammunition in the 8rd magazines, 50 rounds RN ammunition in the 10rd magazines. rest is loose, in two separate bags. I've found my handloads to be more accurate than my regular factory ammo at the same time way cheaper. (huh?)

this combination is intended for long range, the .22lr is quiet and very accurate. the 9mm backs me up in case I stumble into a close-range situation or I have to go indoors, to salvage


traveling mostly by vehicle:
Izhevsk Dragoon Mosin Nagant & bayonet & sling
15 clips (75 rounds) ussr 80's mil surp (mild) steel core light ball, 5 clips (25 rounds) ussr steel core AP ball
this is my regular primary. it's quite a rifle. to those who are new to the mosin nagant, it can shoot thru an entire house, punch a hole in a engine block, and probably shoot thru 4 people. i can hit the barn from 2 counties over, the sight goes up to "3200" and I've actually tried it. i can spear a zombie from 5 feet, if out of ammo it make a supreme war club, and the muzzle blast is known to set nearby things on fire. all the typical properties of a mosin nagant. (better than an AK in most cases)

Norinco MAK-90 & bayonet (even though it wouldn't really mount due to lack of bayonet lug) & sling
6x30rd magazines wolf military classic, additional 120 rounds loose: 90 rounds wolf military classic, 30 rounds yugo incidenrary tracer (never know when you might wanna set something on fire).
this is my other primary if in an urban area or place where I would shoot at under 200 yards. or i just don't feel like waking up the whole neighborhood when i shoot.

Hi Point C9 (as seen in above)
except all FP 124gr handloads. i like those best and they're most accurate. loose ammunition- 100 rounds.

Aluminum magazines are not as sturdy as I'd like, and after I stepped on my last aluminum magazine, I'm screwed. The Glock magazines take more abuse and are interchangeable with the Glock pistol.

You know that AR and AK mags come in polymer form, right? Magpul, Tapco, Tango Down, Lancer, etc etc.

And to stay on topic:

Current BOW List is as follows:

Colt LE6920.
Glock 19 or Colt Gold Cup Trophy (Para P-14 is being shipped back to the factory due to FTF issues)
Ontario M-9

Pretty sure I'm getting rid of the Kabar Kukri and PR-24 due to weight, space and a lower profile.

Postby drifts14x » Tue May 10, 2011 2:25 pm

PSL-54C with all 4 mags topped off, and another 200 rounds between the wife and my personal loadouts. I carry the Beretta 92FS with 3 loaded mags and 200 rounds in kit.She carries the 28" barrel Maverick 88 Pump and the Tokarev TT-33 with it's single mag topped off (I know I need more magazines) and 50 rounds of 12 Gauge 8 Shot (we're not using it to door breach, we're using it to eat).

Reasons are simple, all of those rounds are reasonably common (who do you know that doesn't have a Mosin, or at least know 2 people who do) and all of them are quite capable of re-killing the undead.

Also, each of our packs carries (1) attack Chihuahua. She carries Toby, the tricolor male (who defends her from everything, including me sometimes), while I carry Tini (pronounced "Tee-nee"), our fawn female.

Really, the guns are so we can keep our practice up. The chihuahuas will probably kill the undead for us. They are seriously territorial and defensive of their masters. Seriously, seriously territorial.

Guns may be useful in a Zombie Apocalypse, but nothing is a match for:

Attack Chihuahuas- God help you if I loose the attack chihuahuas...

well... as of this moment i would carry my Benelli SuperNova as my long arm and my FNX-40 as a side arm + my machete .. since these r all i have. i would turn my range bag into a ammo bag, im sure itll hold 400rds of the .40 and another 100 or so of my 12 GA and i already have a 25rd belt and will prob buy a 50rd bandoleer soon... so total of 175rd of 12GA and 3-400rd of .40?

but in the perfect ZPAW.... id like a
AR with 8-30rd mag on my plate carrier
xd9 with 3 extra mags
+ how ever much i can actually hump and still move briskly.. .. AND O! O! maybe a claymore or 2 so if needed i can blow a bridge behind me or something! :twisted:

and hopfully i wouldnt have to go through the ZPAW or at least the initial out break alone and have a friend that can hump the shotty and the .40 + a bat or other blunt object :P

i think this would work.. even tho most wouldnt think so... but if ur tryin to GTFO i think there would be more runnin like a girl rather then standing ur ground unless ur surrounded by a hoard.. then no amount of ammo would really save u.

buggin in... then id also like to add some mines around my house...lol

My setup: AK47 underfolder, 12 magazines, 360 rounds of ammunition.

My girlfriend Lauren's setup: AIA M10A2 with a Hawke Sidewinder 8.5-25x42 scope and a folding bipod, 10 magazines, 300 rounds of ammunition.

I should note that both the AK47 and the M10A2 use standard AK47 magazines and the same 7.62x39 round, so ammunition and magazines are completely interchangeable, making it easy to borrow magazines and ammunition from one another.

That's about it, we've kept pistols out of the equation because neither one of us can shoot them for shit.

I'm currently working on adding a tri-rail forend to my AK to put a flashlight, laser and foregrip for point-and-shoot fighting, but I haven't found one that suits my needs while being simplistic and not fucking with my iron sights.

She's in the process of finding a rail system that fits her rifle to add a flashlight and laser as well.
