Zombie Survival - Choice of Firearm

[k9870]

Hey gunmaster, you going to make a IMFDB page for your movie? Maybe even one now, just pictures of the guns you paln to use.

[Gunmaster45]

Well, IMFDB only allows REAL movies to be made for pages, but I'll devote a section of my profile for it.

I'll try to take some pictures of the guns I'll use, but we are still in the planning phase. I just got my Mossberg 500 Cruiser fixed so its ready for action.

[k9870]

You have a list? I know the cruiser, you said some type of 10 ga. Im guessing your ruger ranch rifle ( i remember you mentionin you have a blank adaptor for that) and of course gladys needs to come out to play.

Im sure you could make your own legit page.....would be kind of cool.

Here's the guns I thought up so far:

(for shooting at friends houses, where real guns are a NO NO)

A UHC Beretta 92FS spring action pistol. Looks real enough for the scene. I use it to shoot a religous zealot in the medula oblongata when he holds one of my guys hostage, since we want some people to people gunfights.

A UHC H&K USP pistol with a locking slide. Looks realistic enough.

A H&K Mark 23 SOCOM spring pistol, looks kind of fake but some perminant marker can fix that.

A G36 spring rifle, looks realistic, needs some sharpy touching up.

A metal Marui knock off AK-47 with the stock broken off (so now it is an AKS-47 I guess...)

An all metal tutone SIG P226 pistol. Looks very real as long as the slide isn't pulled back and the tiny barrel is revealed.

And my gun during the majority of scenes at others houses is a Denix replica Single Action Army revolver one of my friends owns.

Now for the REAL guns:

Of course I grab Gladys as soon as we reach my place in the story, and I'll show a cool loading up scene as we grab my guns (I'll use dummy rounds for those scenes). Since Gladys can't fire blanks, I'll either fake fire with CGI flashes or fire real rounds at a safe target and edit the scenes with quick cuts so it looks like I'm shooting at zombies/zealots.

I have the Mossberg 500 Cruiser, which once MPM sends me the directions, I'll make blanks for.

I have a single shot 10 Gauge with a very long barrel. It looks like a mean gun and would make Burt Gummer proud.

I'm giving one of the guys a Sentinel Deluxe .22 revolver, since .22 blanks are pretty easy to aquire.

I'll give someone a .38 special Smith & Wesson K-14 Masterpiece (which is a very nice Model 14) and either buy blanks or use CGI.

If it isn't sold immediately, I suppose I could put the Ruger Super Redhawk with a 9.5" barrel in.

I plan to use my Remington M1903A3 rifle and don't need blanks since I can cycled dummy rounds and spent shells and add in the flash later.

Also, if my dad has the reloading dyes, I'll add in a 20 Gauge Bolt action Stevens shotgun.

I'll add pictures when I start towards the end of June (June 29th, my birthday party, so I figured it'd be a good time to start)

No ranch rifle and Ar?

[Gunmaster45]

Whoops, I forgot.

I'll be using the Ruger Mini-14 in the movie without a doubt, or will let someone else use it, since it works with blanks if I rack the action.

Same with the AR, unfortunately the muzzle break isn't an A1 Birdcage, so the huge supply of BFAs I have for those are useless.

[k9870]

where do you get adaptors? And rack the action? Does that mean after each shot? You'd need some serious editing. To get Gladys to eat blanks couldnt you just but in an adaptor or is more work needed?

[Gunmaster45]

Yeah, I'll just hide it when he fires single shots with the Ruger.

I'd have to permanantly destroy Gladys in order to get the gun to fire blanks reliably. I'd need to thread inside the barrel so I could put an adapter in and then I'd have to mill the top of the barrel down (you can see this on MPM's prop 1911s and in movies if you look in the ejection port) and this would ruin it. And I have no .45 ACP blanks anyway.

As for were to get adapters, hell if I know. I just found an ammo can in my grandparent's basement with lots of .223 blanks and AR-15 adapters that you can only fix to A1 Birdcage muzzle breaks.

[k9870]

Just wondering, what do you use for mags in gladys? Do the modern 8 rounders work well in the old guns?

[Yournamehere]

Fair enough, but wouldn't it be odd to have both an impossible-to-find German Assault Rifle like a G36 with old rusty firearms like the 10 Gauge and your 1911? You're going to the farthest corners of reality here.
