Well sometimes you have to make compromises

Really, I won't live in this nightmare fantasy scenario? Oh darn. Maybe I should've mentioned that ray gun I invented.

And just in case there any other concerns about surviving this outbreak of metaphors, I mean, zombies:

This is a forum for weapons of choice for zombie survival in a realistic way. We're not trying to prove that zombie will come or eventually come. If you want, start another forum on how zombie invasions would never happen.

I was just proving a point that a pump action shotgun and a revolver for a zombie infestation (not even for a battle or war) is not that good of a choice.

What's wrong with the pump action shotgun? A Revolver yeah, I can see why.

I'm saying there's anything round with a pump action shotgun expect that it's low capacity and reloading requires like a minute to do. A buck shot could take out a bunch of zombies at once but if a wave of zombies come at you, you're fucked! The weapon could hold the most 8+1. Especially if you're sidearm is a fucking revolver.

No, but given the number of perfectly safe things the last Labour government tried to ban or discourage for being "potentially dangerous" it wouldn't surprise me if they'd tried.

I understand that, but read what you just wrote, surviving against zombies in a realistic way. We have no set rules for zombies, because they're a product of different sources of pop culture. How do we stop them? Well, one film says one way, another film says another way, and basic biology says yet another way. Which way do you want to go with? Define the threat. There isn't one way to stop zombies, because there's no definitive set of rules regarding zombies. We don't even know where they came from. In 28 Days later, it was a disease and they're fast. But in Shaun of the Dead, it's radiation, and they're slow. And in Resident Evil, it's medical experimentation, and they're fast again.

And I defend my choice of a pump and revolver, because the zombies that I'm referring to are slow. (Why slow? Why not? And you can't tell me differently.) And as I've seen in a pistol comp, once you're out of mags, you're done. You can barricade yourself in a Dick's Sport Goods with pallets of 9mm, but if you only have three pistol mags, only the ammo in those three mags will be of any use to you. With a pump, where you can load one at a time, you can last as long as you have ammo. Want a "realistic" scenario? How many mags do you have in your house at this moment? Because zombies, slow or fast, probably won't wait for you to find an abandoned National Guard armory.

On a Remington 870, all you have to do is drop a round into the ejection port, close the breech, and you're ready to fire.

I saw two cases in england that sealed it ill never go there:

One, a man found a shotgun on his property that criminals had ditched, and called police. He wasarrested since he touched the gun when he found it, stating law prohibits touching a gun without a licence. He was a former infantry soldier and law abiding citizen who had to spend some time in jail until the trial was dropped

Another, a man put barbed wire on his property after several robberies. The government ordered it taken down since criminals "may hurt theselves on it and posed a health hazard."

There was also video where a country home was being robbed, a homeowner came home and saw men loading a truck with their stuff. homeowner said thed call the police if the men didnt leave, and the men said someething along the lines of "out here well be long gone before they arrive, and what are you going to do to stop me?" and kept on stealing....
