ZSG also reccomends a machete, which sucks. It can slice too deep and get stuck, making follow up strikes harder. Its also only effective on the bladed end. An asp baton cracks skulls, is effective all around and doesnt need sharpening.

I'd be bustin' zombie heads with a crowbar or hammer, seeing as I don't own any batons and the few machetes I have seem pretty flimsy

I'd also recommend for the Zombie Apocalypse to NOT read the zombie survival for the gun recommendations.

Well the Zombie survival guide has a lot of good points on what to do, where to go and especially what NOT to do, like start running crowds of zombie over wit your car

Yooka,

The range for a head/skull shot with a 9mm is unknown to me. Gotta be within "practical distances" (less then 50 yds) anyways. My point is that when the skull is at odd angles 22lr might deflect easier than the 9mm.

I meant "stopping power" to be defined as a torso shot. No handgun round will knock any zombie down. Laws of physics apply here. Only head shots are effective on a zombie.

I stand by my revolver comment. It doesn't make sense to carry a 6 or 8 shot revolver when one can carry a 15-17 shot 9mm. thats all.

Id carry a 22lr revovler in my survival gear anyway, youll always have ammo its a last ditch survival gun when other options run out. Also good for hunting small game for food.

And the lcp is a better gun. Kel tec has spotty reliability. Besides, the p238 has my .380 interests up.

I wonder why .380s rare, seeing .380 guns are booming in sales. Most manufacturers are putting them out (Ruger, keltec, kahr, taurus, S&W, SIG, NAA etc.) You'd expect ammo companies to try and crank out .380 ammo (which is in demand.)

I bet if a company started up that only made .380 ammo of good quality theyd make bank.
