ZOMBIE APOC WEAPONS BOOK 2

Yankee Marshal is one funny dude. No, I don't much care for most of his covered subject matter. I thought the werewolf silver bullets were simply too far over the top. And I certainly don't care what revolvers are the best. As if I'm ever going to put down serious coin on the high dollar crap they have out there today. Most major gun makers are near or at bankruptcy ( like most large corporations ) and their products reflect that. I NEVER had a dud firing box after box of Remington Wal-Mart Special ( aka “crap” ) rimfire, prior to Wally AND Remington going to hell after 2008.

*

I think Savage is still hanging in there with decent quality, but that is a red letter day whenever that happens, isn't it? The exception proving the rule. I'm not about to gamble with my dwindling supply of currency on a major gun maker NOT screwing me like a prison bitch. Oh, I IMAGINE prison bitches are fun to rape, what with fresh anal virginity and no HIV or hepatitis yet, but the fun is all one way, the pitcher rather than the catcher. Best to avoid the whole experience, from both parties. And Yankee Marshal does drone on about the best revolvers. But I don't watch him for that.

*

Like all of you, I am hopelessly stuck in the modern Bread & Circuses, shoveling corn syrup derivatives into my pie hole as I go Full Zombie in front of the Glass Teet. Go on, admit it! You watch far more TV than you should ( I dislike most people who go evangelical over giving up the sweet, sweet drug of mindless entertainment. You might have given up TV shows, but then, most of us get hooked on the Internet or DVD's, don't we? Same, same, you sanctimonious prick ). I may learn very little from Yankee Marshal ( I always learn something though ), but he is VERY entertaining.

*

I'm not sure why most people dislike him. I think it is because he is usually always right, and suffers fools none at all. I would say “I know the feeling”, but I'm not sure I can get away with that. Far too many minions get butt hurt sensitive when I insist they suck on their views about semi-auto's, automobiles or lack of sufficient fear and loathing over Peak Oil. Why does it have to be MY fault they are wrong? Sure, none of us appreciate being told we are wrong. But it isn't my fault I'm the only one never wrong! LOL

*

Underneath the zany fun of talking about zombie weapons, there are good points pondered and brought up. So it IS entertaining, but also thought provoking. Because there are rarely any wrong answers equipping for combat before you ever see any ( insofar as even the most researched and well thought out gear still needs to be combat proven ), talking out the process can be a good teaching tool. The more people that play this game of “weapons against zombies”, the more likely your choices of actual apocalypse tools can be semi-tested BEFORE your life is on the line.

*

For instance, Yankee Marshal is discussing swords, and mentions that since he isn't trained in their use, he would probably be far more dangerous to himself than any zombie. It was a good lesson, even if delivered as a humorous aside. What other gear should you avoid as it is only a force multiplier with proper training? Many knives are better suited to a well trained bladesman, and for the novice, the best bet might just be a short stabber, as the only way you are going to survive a knife fight is to get close by blocking his knife arm and striking quickly ( as opposed to fancy moves and counter-moves ).

*

Granted, with zombies it is a bit different. They only have teeth and fingernails as weapons. If I was facing an opponent with a knife, the better bet is to just run away ( if they have a gun, run towards, if it is close range. Long range? You ain't a Green Beret. Run Away! ) rather than trying to pretend to be Jim Bowie. The lesson being, a knife is NOT a weapon you are good with, so only have it as a Better Than Nothing last ditch emergency weapon. So it need not be fancy. And might be better chosen as a camp tool than a weapon.

*

What about that fancy hunk of glass atop your rifle? I'm not a sniper. I'm not a marksman. I pretty much suck at anything not a rimfire. So I only put a scope on a 22. But it would be wasted on any other long arm. I know the equipment won't make me any better, without oodles of practice. I know my limitations, so I don't go Full Retard on too much weapon. I don't treat my pistol as a aimed weapon ( I have an issue closing one eye with a pistol, but not a rifle. Don't ask me why. I just know I'm marginal on a centerfire rifle and even worse with a sidearm ). It is a pointed one.

*

I don't have a huge ego attached to my being a survivalist. Most folks attitude is “your life depends on it, you better master that skill”. I know that isn't how things work. No one has the time and certainly not the attributes to master too many tasks. The military taught me that rather well ( they try the same approach trying to produce Super Soldiers, but it is all superficial. Teaching doesn't produce perfection, only practice. And practice is always lacking ). So to me? I have a certain fatalistic attitude towards training and equipment. I either pass/fail on the mandatory On The Job Training.

*

But I also am a bit more realistic with my equipment, for the fact I DON'T assign supernatural abilities to any of it. Which a lot of people do, caught up in the Master Of All Tasks they think is possible and desirable. So beware. My choices are NOT for “the best”. They are for what is most practical. In a realistic scenario where almost none of you know what the heck you are doing ( and I include myself in that category. But I also know how much of The Military Way is bullcrap. I will NOT be genuflecting and worshiping at their camo plated feet for the simple fact that Imperial Yankee logistics will not be available ).

note: remember me telling you the ( old ) weekly special at Krogers was the generic coffee, buy five for $20?  Yeah, well, that coffee SUCKS!  It is the same brand we've been drinking for years, but they changed it somehow.  Both I and the NOL noticed an off taste, and we both have had the coffee upsetting our stomachs more the longer we've been drinking it.  It goes in deep storage for either barter or BTN last use.  I won't be buying that brand again.  Word of warning.  Coffee is too important to screw around with.  I can handle bottom of the barrel generic, but this crap was just too nasty.  Like Juan Valdez's ( HERE ) donkey rubbed his ass in it.
