Zombie Eradication Kit (ZEK)

I was inspired by some other Scrapyard Dogs and put together my own ZEK (Zombie Eradication Kit).

Remigton 700 CDL in .257 Weatherby(awesome all-around cartridge for PNW Zombies)
Rock River LAR-8 .308 Win (Reach out and touch some Zombie)
Remington R-25 .243 Win MI BUIS
Rock River AR-15 Varmint Trijicon ACOG(Excellent CQB w/ mid range capabilities)
Smith and Wesson 460V .460 Mag (360 grainers can take out an elephant zombie)
Smith and Wesson 340PD .357 Mag
NMSFNO (up close and personal Zombie Stabber)
S5LE (really up close and personal Zombie Stabber and skinner)
Filson Tin Cloth Bush Hat folded Quasi-Aussie (not as cool one from the zombie movie, but it works)

Nice Set up I relly like the S&W 340 I need to get me a snubby here one of these days

Now there's a good looking zombie kit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I thought I was the only one that liked wheel guns! I dig your Smiths.

I'm gonna make my way east to your place if the zombies attack.

Again I've gotta get my ZEK together. I think I could last longer than most.

Love the ZEK! And gotta love the Big wheel

Thanks for the comments.I was inspired by other Dogs here.

I have other handguns, but for a ZEK it's hard to beat the reliability, versatility (The 460V can shoot.45 Long colt, 454 Casull, .460 mag and modified .410 shotshells)and raw power of a wheel gun. Sure they have their drawbacks (capacity, reloading time, recoil) but if I need to deliver some plumbum quickly The AR's are will suffice.

The picture is marginal, but I think it gets the point across: Zombies beware.

nice set-up

i really wanted a CDL...but settled for a .308 x-bolt instead

Those X-bolts are at the top of my wish list. I'd like one in my second favorite cartridge the .270 WSM. I chose that 700CDL because of the cartridge.

i really wanted a model 7 CDL in .308 but i was able to make a nice trade on this one


I had a ruger 25-06..rechambered to 257wtby...i was going to use it for pronghorn...when i was going out to wyoming shooting prairie dogs...but the fella that owned the ranch we were going to passed away

so i sold it w/o ever shooting it

Vance,

You should try and find another .257 Weatherby Magnum (Weatherby Vanguards are a good value). They work well for animals bigger than pronghorn. I used mine to take a buck this year and it worked perfectly. Granted it was a shorter range kill, but the bullet did it's job with flying colors. It's flat trajectory and low-recoil help even novice hunters shoot with confidence. Zeroed at 225 yards lets you hold right on to a coyote from zero to about 350 yards. This greatly increases longer range hits on fast moving animals when you don't have time to use a laser range finder. The lack of recoil also mitigates the flinch factor associated with the big magnums, yet you get adequate energy for deer (or zombie) size game out to 500+ yards. Again, shot placement is paramount on longer shots, but the low recoil and flat trajectory are in your favor.

Then again, you have a .308. If you know the bullet drop, that cartridge can do anything a .257 WM can do and more.

Nothing wrong with having both.

i am so ill prepared.

hopefully my guitars will serve via deth metal.

yes, deth, sans 'a' as in 'death.'

Nice pic,,,I'm partial to CC Filson products.

Magnum22,

I take it you have a .22 WMR based on your screen name. Don't underestimate the .22 Mag especially in the Hornady 30gr V-Max bullets going 2200 fps. I have a Ruger 10/22M with a magnum research carbon fiber barrel. I guarantee it would stop or slow down an intruder. Put 10 of those puppies in a zombie and it'll give you an excellent advantage over the undead. Then you can use your scrapyard to finish them off.

good tip, but i have a Custom22 (a guitar) and my initials are MAG. that's how i got the name.

Sigfest,

Filson tin cloth is almost bomb proof. Great functional gear that will outlast today's super synthetics. Hmmm. Tough enough for The Yard.

This is the ultimate .22 WMR anti zombie gun(Grendel P-30). 30 rounds of pure zombie melon exploding goodness. Super reliable and 10 mags should get you through most scrapes with your brain intact.

Tedwca,

That's awesome! 30 rounds? That would make a great survival handgun. Oh, and for zombies.

i'll take it.

How does the 257 perform on deer?

Coyotebc,

In my experience, the .257 Weatherby Magnum with the 110 grain nosler works great. I hit a buck this year that was quartering towards me. I hit him square in the shoulder and he went down like he was hit by lightning. The bullet broke through the shoulder and came to rest just below the skin on the opposite side. Anything from the .243 on up would have done the job in a humane manner. Some may argue that a bigger bullet with greater frontal area will do better on big game. However, there is always a consquence to bigger fast moving bullets. You can't argue with physics.

As always,if using an appropriate caliber and bullet within their limitations, placement is the key to a clean kill. What a .257 Weatherby Mag does is give you a flat-shooting, light-kicking, hard hitting round adequate for medium size game. I think that is is ideal for the animals I hunt.

A bonus is that is doubles as an excellent predator round. If you hand load, (which I don't) You can push the light bullets close to 4,000 fps. I used the 110's earlier this year to hit a coyote at 350 yards (ranged by laser). Not super far by any means, but with a flat shooter like the .257 WM, it was easier than trying to calculate the drop on a slower .30 caliber.

So, to answer your question, in my limited experience, the .257 weatherby magnum gets the job done on deer... and probably zombies.

If anyone else in The Yard wants to chime in on the .257 weatherby on deer, please share.

honestly for zombies i think .22 LR would be your best bet overall. its cheap, easy to find, lightweight (so you can carry TONS) and does a good job at penetrating the skull.

its quiet compared to just about everything else, so you wont alert other zombies.

get one of those lakeside machine .22lr machine guns to mow em down.. lol

smaller calibers would probably be the best way to go...unless you are looking at shooting distance, where the larger calibers excel.

when youre fighting off huge waves though, something closer to either a shotgun or p90 might be best.

...sometimes it scares me when we have conversations about this. lol

Kuanomar you look zombie ready to me, I'd add a shotgun for the up close and personel stuff but thats just me. You have a nice collection of AR types there too.

Okay. I'll add my Remington 870 and my Ruger 10/22M for good measure. I might as well throw in an HID handheld search light and a few more blades. Oh, and the ammo is in a maxpedition Bag. More pics of my updated ZEK to come.

What a fun group.

Thanks guys.

Okay. I need to get some sleep. Good news is I almost qualify for the patch!

Yea I guess I never thought about it, but a .22 should be perfect for up close zombie work. between the eyes and forget it.

If someone really has extra time on their hands, I wonder how many different Zombie posts there have been.

Oh ANDY, Calling Andy. What's the answer to the above question (betcha he already knows and is keeping it a secret until someone asked).

For My kit, (if I have already posted, please forgive me, gray hair don'tcha know). I can draw on the following:
Rem 700 VLS .308 (9 pounds naked), but boy does it shoot!
Brit copy of the Fal in .308
Rem 600 Mohawk in .308
A couple or 3 ruger, rem, marlin .22's )the marlin is a 22mag)
A marlin 30-30 lever gun
Several shotguns, counting my sweet short barreled 20 savage pump, a 16 Rem a 20 rem 870 and a couple 12's
SEVERAL assorted handguns from 22, 32, 38/357, 9mm and 45's
Oh, Yeah, a Whole plane load (retired AF ya know) of Sharp, pointy chunks of steel. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Not the best in the world, but I can make em hurt <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Do they do that?

maybe being a zombie isn't all that bad. maybe in addition to the zombie eradication kits, we should also be making a transition my life to a zombie kit.

Too many...or...not enough. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> A thread search produces over 200 zombie replies. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

See, told ya! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Skunk Hunter,

Your kit sounds like it would get the job done. I like your approach of having multiple rifles in the same cartridge.

Your BAZERK would work!

Private Klink,

Put the guns and blades back in the safe! If you give them candy they'll go away.

Ok…I’ll play. I had to rearrange my safe anyhow…

I think I’m set...although I should probably get a pack harness for my dogs to haul ammo in the various calibers

Digs,

That is a great kit!!! I NEED a Ruck or Waki.

Yeah, I'd say your ready for the Zombies.

thanks....I highly recommend the Waki....there seems to be an abundance of cheap squash around my area...lots of pumpkin farms selling pumpkins for a buck or two. A small price to pay for that smile you'll try to wipe off your face after decimating a pumpkin with your Waki

Digs,

I really want a Ruck. But, I cannot find one within my limited price range. The Waki at about 400 right. Has anyone compared the Waki and Ruck? Pro's and Con's? SR101 vs. Infi for a long blade? Should I hold out on the Waki and just save for a Ruck? (and hope the zombies don't attack before then)

kuanomar...I've never even held a Ruck, but at about half the price the Waki does everything I'd want a blade of that size to do. In case you haven't seen it...this video should clear up any doubt you might have about the ability of SR-101. Plus...same Busse warranty. If by some remote freak event that the blade did fail...you're covered.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRnVY9qLCEE


I'd advise to check out the Waki and use the money you saved for another Busse Kin blade or two.

That is an excellent suggestion digs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Woo, got an email from my gunsmith today. I sent in my old savage 110 in 30-06 for some work. The work cost more than the original rifle ever did, but it holds a certian sentimental value to me. One of these days when I get all of my goods in the same place and Im also at that place ill take some pics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

I am not familiar with this gun. How does it shoot?

The 22 mag is one of my fav's although I am becoming more of a believe in the 17

Dan

Nice hat man. The other stuff is pretty cool too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks J33psr0ck. It's a Filson Tin Cloth Brush Hat folded Quasi-Aussie style.

Great for stomping around the brush in the PNW.

It's pretty accurate and fires every time you pull the trigger, unlike most other . 22 WMR semis. The muzzle flash is something amazing too. Probably around 5-6'. There was a third world country that was going to buy them for all their police officer's, but I think the assault weapon ban killed the company first. They made a carbine version that was pretty cool to. I wish I had one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

couldn't they find a smaller weapon light for the last picture? They had to use a 3 D-cell mag light? That's straight out of omega man.

LOL! When you said that, this is all I could think of.

Love it! Great kits everyone, I want a BAZERK patch!

Anthony Zerbe would be in BIG trouble! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Holy guano Doggies, I forgot my toy, colt ar15 a3 flattop with a beeman 4x30 air rifle scope (don't laugh, it's rated for a full automatic weapon!) Oh Oh, and the pride of my sharp pointies, at least history wise, is my WW II Waki brought back from I think he said Okinawa

I want a BAZERK patch too.

Thanks, I will have to keep my eyes open. Very neat little gun

Dan

Bazerk patch sounds sweet. but makes me think of the movie Clerks. Olaf! Bezerker!

speaking of 22 pistols, the walther I use sure jams a lot.

Hmmm... I spotted one of these at the last gun show. Very tempting... What do you guys think is a good price for one of these puppies?

That carbine looks pretty awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

here's my kit, i think i'm covered.



bring it.

Nice kit PB52! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> The one important item that is missing for zombie eradication is a shotgun! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was with you up until that. Zombies would be bad enough with out having to skin them, eyuck.

How do those stats stack up with the 5.7x28mm? Seems like if they are even close the .22 mag might be a better value.

Can you take a pic of it, I would love to see it.

Pretty much a toss up spec wise.

The 5.7x28mm out of a FiveseveN can match .22 WMR ballistics out of a rifle. So, it's a little better. Bullet construction of the 5.7 is probably better for SD.

Still, in real world use, there's probably not a tremendous advantage. So, like Tedwca said, "pretty much a toss up."

The .22WMR will get you more ammo for the money allowing more practice. That could be a deciding factor in real world application.

I would suspect that center fire ammo would be more reliable than a rim fire cartridge, but I've never had any issues with that. Also you can get parts for the new gun and the Grendel has been abandoned long ago.

That was my guess and where I was aiming in my thought train.

Very good points. I guess if I am worried about the reliability I might purchase solely CCI etc. but then the price starts increasing also. The bullet design is likely quite a bit better. For a survival type pistol your final point may be the most important. Looking on gunbroker there do seem to be quite a few parts available but that does not mean I would be able to purchase the part I need in a time of need.

mcRob, I like your way of thinking!

Opps...Hit something that made this post show up first... Since I'm here...


Hmm... If I sub a mossberg for the benelli and five seven for the second .45acp... I might be good.



Wait... I keep drinking all of my mash.. Need to stock up the hooch and ammo... S really does H the F and both may go a bit quicker than I want.

Who's sheath do you have on that Regulator?

Man, I need to take more pics of my ZED stuff. Spring is getting close so SOON!

Man sorry it took so long to answered...

The sheath is actually the one that comes with CS Recon Scout. It actually works pretty good. I removed the retention strap because it was snagging and scarring up the gaurd on my RS but I wish I had left it on there to see if it would have been good for the regulator. But it's the right size sheath for the regulator.

Hmm, ZEK... Over here, tough one. I think I'd 'borrow' a Land Rover and run the [censored] things over! Guns are so rare this side of the pond (apart from with the criminals of course) that having my DFCG and a couple of CS machetes makes me a candidate for king of the zombie killers...

IF we do get zombies can we have nice slow ones, not like the ones out of the 'Resident Evil' films that are too darn quick!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

+1 on that, fast zombies suck

Yeah Man! Do you remember WHERE that picture was. I can't find it now.

Yes that golok is pretty sweet, but I will stick to my DogFathers and BWM for the zombie closeup work! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I would IF i had one of them. But yeah, is still is nice.

The Golok was under the S5-INFI piggybacked. Its back at the top of the page now.

I wouldn't mind one of those either. For an All around knife, I think something in the 7-8 inch range is the best for ease of carry and it WILL split wood as well.

Oh and Tom, Yes, I'm ALWAYS ready for a vacation. Unfortunately you got to have money to take one. AND if you don't work you don't eat (or pay the bills)! Unless you're independently wealthy like some PRIOR Marines!

HA HA!! Iam not too far behind at 47.

Hey, 9 years can make a difference.

T/M, what's your favorite ZEK Blade?

Kinda like green Whiskey and aged huh?

Uh, I guess. Only Whisky I ever got aquainted with was CC and Seagrams 7crown

Dinosaur steak is great! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> As far as vacations go, when money is tight I always liked to go camping somewhere with a lake for fishing and swimming. A campfire at night under the stars is really relaxing and you forget about all the troubles in the world. Great therapy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

How much does the Dogfather weigh? I wanted a Desert one
but got sent to the end of the line.

Yeah I remember those days. Unfortunately now, with my wife's health issues that just isn't possible. BUT we do still get "Out and abuot" whenever we can. That's another reason we go to Mingo so much.

T/M - I will go get mine and let you know in a couple of minutes! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think Andy or someone once posted it was about 15 ounces or so.

Wow!! Thats not much. Thought it would be alot more.

Well, it might be, I'm not really sure. Tom will post his in a little bit.

Guess ill pick up MUTT on this post. HA!!

Hey congrats! Now put er in to high gear. You got just a bit over 18 hours to make JYD! post post post...hehe

???? At 100 per yr and a half ive got a long long time to go!! HA!!

Nah, the more you post the easier it becomes. I just made JYD on the 6th(i think) of Dec '09, and look at me now!

OK guys, here she is:

DFLE -1# 1oz.
DDF - 1# 0ozs.
DFCG - 1# 4ozs.

Swamp Rat BattleRat - 1# 0ozs.

All I have for a scale is a Rapala electronic fish scale, but I believe those are accurate numbers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Uh Tom, I think your scale is just a little off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and WHAT are you doing with 3 DF's? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

What makes you say that? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

HA HA!!! Guess they kinda beef them up a bit after the Number 1s were gone..!!

1 weighs 1 ounce 1 weighs nothing and one weighs 4 ounces?

Randy - I have 2 DFLE's, 2 DFCG's, and 1 DDF, along with 2 BattleRats and 2 Camp Tramps! Not bragging - just facts! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Should I have stated it as: DFLE - 17 ozs.
DDF - 16 0zs.
DFCG - 20 ozs.
BattleRat - 16 ozs. ?

Now I know where to go on MY vacation. Just one question, when are you and your wife planning that LONG trip?

You answered your own question! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ok, MUCH better. Where did I get the 15 ounce from, the SOD maybe? Guess I am just confused, again!

My Tan SOD weighs 15 ozs., my SOD LE weighs 13 ozs. That's probably where you got that figure. Man, you should see the pile of steel in front of me right now! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> SWEEEEEEEET!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I KNOW you are. Not a nice place to be. I didn't come in until Feb of 1974 but I talked to a lot of "Nam Vets". Very confusing war.

Ya'll musta both been, ok, ARE Marines. I'm, surrounded! Oh well, Up Up and AwaY!hehe That IS what I'm supposed to say isn't it?

I thought you might get that all the time after i typed it.. All in good fun!!

HA HA!!! Skunk. There is always a few Jarheads around.

It's fun to mess around with folks from the different branches of the service when everyone knows it is nothing more than just messing around. Sometimes I get concened someone might take it that I am insulting them. That's why I call myself a Zoomie. Maybe that will let them know that I am just messing around.

Oh, sorry, My eyes are getting so bad I though you said JUGHEAD! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Heck, i never have got tore up over what branch of service you were in.
You got The MARINES...!!! then the others. HA HA!!!

Grunts, Squids, Zoomies, Jarheads! Each one being all that they can BE! Hey, we all (well most all) bleed red american blood.

I never felt confused as much as I felt angry and frustrated. When you fight a war, you fight to win, not play politics and games with the warriors' lives via STUPID Rules of Engagement!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> We lost a lot of good guys because of that!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Don't get me started - I will probably rant until some time next year! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

On a lighter note, how's things in your neck of the woods? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Marines MUST be Proof that the Government deals in Brainwashing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I agree with you Tom. STILL a sore subject, even with me and I wasn't there. But Stupid politics are stupid politics!

I think you're right Randy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Actually, most of us had fathers who had served in WWII, who had inculcated in us a sense of loyalty and duty to our country. We were just carrying on the tradition of citizen/soldiers started back in 1776. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Looks to be another nice day. But My wife is gonna have a very hard and emotional day today. As I've said, our daughter in-law (and my wife's son) came in this weekend. Well They will be leaving later on today to head back out to Wally world Centeral in Arkansas. BUT, at least she will be seeing them again in April when she goes out there for the birth of the baby.

Yeah, My Dad was in the Korean (police action, HA!)war and there was still some sense of pride, honor, duty then, even by the politicans (or at least somewhat).

Ok, on to bigger and better things. Think we'll break 379K today? We're really close. You guys had a good day yesterday. what with the sip and talk and all.

That will give her time to plan and look forward to something!
My wife's youngest sister is getting married again in May and asked Sherrie to bake her wedding cake, etc. She is excited and happy to help her sister, and I am happy for them both. Really a win-win situation all the way around, as I am happiest when my wife is happy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> We get along real well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's almost 0800 BST so I think I'll go over and make a quick post in the Death Chat and then update the 2010 thread. See Ya there!

OK! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Good for you AND your wife Tom. I hope Hope her sister lives close so the cake can get there safely. I Hope and Pray that EVERYTHING turns out ok for the ceremony. Ok, switching over to D C for a Quickie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yep, loved 'Shawn of the Dead' funiest zombie film ever! Pity we don't have a local boozer with a .45 Winchester lying around...

Another oldie but goodie.

Any Updates from the Dawgs?

Woah! This is an older post. I sold half of those guns in the first pic. That seems like a lifetime ago. I'll have to post an updated pic of my ZEK.


I'll hope all is well here at the Yard.

I had posted here about the new MHI book at first but then made it it's own post over on the Knives Forum side.

Anybody got any new kits or equipment added?

Just bringing up an old thread for thought.

This what I got for the zombies. Working on my knives now. Only got a deregulator, S5le, and Chutemandu, along with a bunch of spydies and Fingers crossed a sniper hawk maybe.

You have some serious things there. Zombies would be smart to stay out of New Mexico.

Thanks, Always loved guns and knives. Just never really got into good knives till I went to machine school to get my machinist certificate and took a couple metallurgy classes. After that I really got into steels and the make up of each and man, I would sit on the computer for days just reading about steels and knives etc. Thats how I came across bussekin and the forums. Now Im addicted to Knives more so than guns. Im content with the guns I have for now. So Im working on my knife collection now.

Zombies should probably head to New York and all the other places the AALB can't be shipped to!

Ok, I'm just an Ignorant Redneck. AALB?

Im just an Ignorant Red Leg.
Stinking sun and white legs. ha

OUCH! Ok I think I got it, Argonne Assault Light Brigade?

OY! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

The 911 and the Forthcoming FDM will both be candidates for a ZEK. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

What is going on there are abunch of treads up I haven't seen for a long time and you can't post on them. Also I have tried a couple times to start a new thread and it won't come up.

Don't know what to tell you N2. You might leave a pm stating that to Tom and ColdOne.

Anyone have anything to add to this Thread?

Well Dogs, since the last post (prior to the one above) was THREE YEARS AGO I have acquired a B8, a 911 and a 711 (thanks to a GREAT Dog) and a couple others, including my Moderator exclusive BLACK handled Mud Mutt (eat your heart out guys) and probably some others I just can't remember.

I have added several knives and rifles; life just rolls on!

No pix of the "boom sticks", but for the quiet and up close Zeke disposal:







Now all I need is a Scrapishi!

Well it appears as if I will be adding a Silent er addition to my arsenal.

Napalm. You gotta have some napalm.

What with all the goings on lately and the upcoming election growing closer with each passing day, have YOU rethought your "Kit" contents?

Ive thought about getting a silencer for my ruger .22 lite pistol. I haven't took the plunge yet but might get the ball rolling by the end of the year. I haven't added to much to my arsenal just a bunch of extra 33 round magazines for my glock 19 9mm.

I HAD all these plans, and had already semi started. BUT what with all we've had to spend lately, the suppressor has been put on the small back burner. REAL life comes first, darn it.

Sorta easy. Just dissolve those Styrofoam packing "Peanuts" in gasoline until you get a really viscous "Paste". Supposed to work really well and stick like crazy!

Leave it to Law Enforcement to know how to do it!

Hahaha pyro

Diesel and laundry soap works also and burns longer.


Combat engineer for the win. LOL

BUT how easy is it to set on fire Grease? Never tried that combo.

Almost as easy as gasoline a full bottle and wick and boom, truly effective molotov (but you didn't hear this from me LOL)

Oh I should include that the peanuts method only works with styrofoam ones not the new corn starch ones.

Corn Starch!

Thought the only ones were the Styrofoam ones.

Guess an old dog CAN learn something new.

yep lick them if they start to dissolve they are corn starch.

I think that both the TRASH1 AND the Chop House will qualify! They should make a good combo, and IF you find yourself needing a third blade, the skinner would be an excellent knife so you can gather the hide for holsters and sheaths like JJ and Buy Brown have cobbled together.

"Be prepared"!
