Zombie Survival - Choice of Firearm

[k9870]

Of course I have no mall, just suburban neighborhoods. And the military is good, just holding back since they have no idea whats going on.

[ManiacallyChallenged]

Yeah, the mall was... just... blah.
But I guess it worked for their side story, what with the whole consumer culture parody stuff.

[k9870]

Malls have been done to death. I want a regular scenario, some newer type zombies, and as mch realism as possible.

Characters:

(yes based on me and people I know)

Three guys who live in an apartment, in college or just starting jobs, one is a Police officer, who likes more hunting style guns. Carries a TRP on duty and a Dan Wesson CBOB off dty, j-frame backup revolver, and has a collection of Shotguns/rifles. He likes his winchester 1912 trench gun, marlin 1894c and Savage 16 weatehr warrior 308. His only semis are a patrol m-4gery he doesn't really like and a trusty ruger ranch rifle he got from his friend. Close weapon is an asp baton. Expert marksman.

Second: A shooter who likes to collect C&R guns, doesn't really like newer styles. He hunts with a SMLE, carries a 1917 new service and has his preferre dlger carbine with drum mag. Has some more modern C&r guns like cz-52s and a makarov. Likes his broomhanle too. He is strong and able to break down doors and lay beatdowns on zombies. Known to dal wield however, especially with his c96 and type 17.

third: Works in a sporting goods store and gets good deals on rger and walther so gets guns from them. Prefers To use what he gets a discount on. Has a ruger sr-556, A walther p99 and a LCP and LCR. MArtial arts fan, owns a katana and seevral other blades, specializes in stealth.

Fourth: Their friend, a military member who prefers tactical guns. Has a DSA FAL, PTR-91, M1a, And an AR set up like an m16a2 and a saiga 12 with 20 round drums.. Carries a decked out beretta 96. Specializes in overwhelming firepower.

[ManiacallyChallenged]

Hate to be a downer, but I find it hard to take anyone using a Mauser C96 seriously anymore. Possibly due to Resident Evil 4.
Not to mention that dual wielding it would be goofy looking. Nothing goes well with a C96.

[k9870]

Yeah I just think it would be cool to see someone dual wield them, one of my friends thinks its the gretest gun, I know its outdated but still think its cool.

[Gunmaster45]

The 7.63 pistol round is pretty effective. I think its dumb that the sights go up to 1000m, who aims that far with a pistol? Even with a stock likes like being a sniper with a submachine gun, and even then, an SMG has a longer barrel!

Older period set films can pull off using it and making it look cool, but today's film has more modern firearms. Like in both Mummy movies people got away with using two C96 Mausers at a time.

There's no way their use would be effective akimbo though, since they need to be reloaded with stripper clips so you'd inevitabley drop one to reload.

[k9870]

Couldn't reload reglar ones akimbo either, at least one would need to be holstered unless you have a third arm. And I'd want a lot Of C&R guns used, like when you meet more survivors hand out the SMLES/Mosins/Webleys/cz52s.

[Yournamehere]

Alls I know is that I'd want an M16A1 or (preferably) a 733 built on an A1 brass deflector receiver, zombies or otherwise. The pistol is a toss up between a Glock 17, Beretta 92FS or a SIG P226, and more than likely the Glock, just cause it can hold far more bullets and weighs the least.

Right now, I am completely obsessed with the Colt 733. Modern yet retro, compact yet big hitting. It's the American Krinkov, and perfect for most close and medium range combat. It even makes the M4 look unwieldly too. God do I want one of these.

[k9870]

I would never, NEVER take an m16a1. I may slap an LWRC piston upper on an A1 lower but never the a1.
