Your Monster Hunter International four-gun set?

I am about three-quarters of the way through the first of THR member Larry Correia's Monster Hunters International (MHI) series of books and loving it. For those that don't know it, the premise is basically that all those fictional movie monsters do in fact exist and there are folks that get paid to hunt them.

At one point, one of the main characters explains that since silver bullets are so expensive, they only have them made in three standard calibers--.45 ACP for pistols and SMGs, .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO for rifles and 12 gauge buckshot for shotguns.

With those calibers set in stone--really, those are your only options--what guns would you choose for your MHI four-gun set?

1. .45 ACP pistol
2. .45 ACP SMG or carbine
3. .308 rifle
4. 12 gauge shotgun

If you are motivated, you might choose two sets. One set for everyday carry, briefcase, trunk of car, etc. so concealability and light weight are important. The other set for when you are loaded for bear and heading into the vampire's den in full-on combat mode. Or some combination of the two.

Cheers,

Matthew

I'd say you want 5. Two pistols, one for EDC and one for your combat rig.
I'm going with Glock G30 and G21, Mossberg for the shotgun. I really don't know much about about the other two. While I've shot full auto Uzis and MP5s those are the only subguns I've actually shot. I'll say a Kris Vector because of what I've read about the lack of recoil and I can use the same magazines in my Glocks. .308 rifle, again I'm pretty ignorant, so from what I've read, a SCAR.

At one point, one of the main characters explains that since silver bullets are so expensive, they only have them made in three standard calibers--.45 ACP for pistols and SMGs, .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO for rifles and 12 gauge buckshot for shotguns.

FWIW, they didn't say it's .45 ACP and .308 Win, they said it's .45 and .308 bullets--they would load them into other cartridges, but didn't want to pay to have other projectiles made. Thus things like Sam's .45-70's.

:)

That said, I'd be using things the characters already did.

a CZ85 or XD pistol
a UMP (I don't know many other .45 SMG's, and the Thompson is heavy!)
An AR10 or VEPR
and a Mossberg 500, but I'm not picky on shotguns.

I might change those last two for a SCAR and a Saiga.

And that's assuming MHI and not the Fed's MCB, with their 10mm and 5.56x45. :D [/geek]

for the .45s hunting monsters, I'd go with a pair of double action double stacked 1911 clone akimbo style.

SMG, I'd bring it old school with a Thompson.

.308, I'd go with a Rem 700. Keep it classic.

and the 12 gauge, since we're playing pretend and all, I'm grabbing an AA-12.

Since it's a fictional universe, I'll go for the sexy.

1. FN FNP .45
2. H&K UMP (but they still hate me)
3. FN SCAR-H
4. AA-12

окау, I'll play too

as said above, 2 pistols (Owen style ;)
say, Colt Combat Commander with 8-rd Wilson mags as EDC/CC + ParaOrd P14.45 as a holster duty gun
rifles... tuned and de-bugged Kel-tec RFB. Short gun, relatively long barrel. Plus QD sound moderator and good sights, i.e. EOTech + 3X magnifier of QD mount
Shotgun... pimped-up Vepr-12 with 42cm/17" barrel. I mean, better shoulder stock (factory one sucs in ergonomics, at least in my opinion), good red-dot (EOTech will do), good flashlight, forward grip, Abomination-style silver-coated flip-up bayonet

;)

FWIW, they didn't say it's .45 ACP and .308 Win, they said it's .45 and .308 bullets--they would load them into other cartridges, but didn't want to pay to have other projectiles made. Thus things like Sam's .45-70's.

You're absolutely right, I stand corrected. Others correct if I'm wrong (I know next to nothing about reloading) but I think that would add .45 Long Colt as a handgun option not to mention a mare's leg version of a .45-70 Marlin Guide Gun. What would that do for rifle options?

1: Colt 1911 (Backup pistol is G36)
2: HK UMP 45
3: FN FAL .308
4: Saiga 12ga (converted)

Great books for fans of guns! If I'm fighting back the zombie hordes (literally!) I think these would be my choices.


.45 ACP pistol - Glock 21 & Glock 30 (I know the author and main characters are all 1911 fans, but I prefer my Glocks.)
.45 ACP SMG or carbine - HK UMP 45 (Never actually shot one, but damn they look cool).
.308 rifle - SCAR 17 (FN FAL is cool, but I like the SCAR better)
12 gauge shotgun - Saiga 12 (who has time to load a standard shotgun round by round, when the zombies are pouring through the door!)

At one point, one of the main characters explains that since silver bullets are so expensive, they only have them made in three standard calibers--.45 ACP for pistols and SMGs, .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO for rifles and 12 gauge buckshot for shotguns.


i think he should switch from .45 to 9mm ;) a lot less silver to pay for :D

With those calibers set in stone--really, those are your only options--what guns would you choose for your MHI four-gun set?

OK, here are mine...

Everyday and/or concealed carry

1. Kahr P45 (black, night sights, belt holster) and Kahr PM45 (same options, ankle holster), 7-round TP-45 mags for reloads. Small guns, but I have small hands
2. KRISS Super V Vector SMG
3. Serbu Super Shorty 12 gauge
4. Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 (in the trunk of the car)

And when SHTF

1. Same pistols
2. H&K UMP SMG
3. Mossberg 590A1 12 gauge with bayonet
4. FN SCAR-H CQC (or FN MINIMI 7.62 T.R. Sliding Butt when you need solutions that come in belts, not magazines)

Or if feeling very old school

1. GI Colt 1911 or S&W M1917 revolver
2. Thompson M1A1 or M3A1 Grease Gun
3. Winchester M1897 Trench Gun
4. Indian Ishapore Lee Enfield 2-A1 (or a Bren L4A1 in 7.62 NATO)

:evil:

I can't believe no one wants there own abomination.

I'd go
1. a pair of XDM's in 45.
2. UMP 45
3. LWRC AR in .308
4. My own abomintation. lol

I lost suspension of disbelief when 9mm and 5.56 were not included in the list. The popularity of those two calibers demands they be included, especially when cost is a factor

1. 1911
2. UMP wouldn't be against a Thompson though.
3. Crusader Broadsword .308
4. 870

Sorry, not according to the book. Presumably the larger calibers were choses because evil monster killing demans more oomph than 9mm or .556mm can deliver. YMMV. ;)

i think he should switch from .45 to 9mm ;) a lot less silver to pay for :D

Mr. Correia figured that all out. It's not that they're buying silver bullets themselves--they're constructed like CorBon Pow'r'Ball. A JHP with a silver ball pressed into the nose. The thought being that it otherwise works like a JHP (you don't need silver for zombies or chupacabra, but it's fun!) with "just enough silver to cause some damage."

I figure they went .45 instead of 9mm because it can hold a larger ball, it was what they had when they started doing that probably in the early autoloader years and, however much I like it for people, I wouldn't trust 9mm against a yeti.

Then again, I wouldn't want a lever-action, either. :)

I'm not sure they'd be limited to 12 gauge shotguns, either, but they do mention that they use 00 or 000 magnum, and that would give a decent payload. The slugs would still be stuck for what they have made.

And the Federal Monster Control Bureau does use .223 (or at least AR's, IIRC. And the French team has their Famas) and 10mm Glocks (Franks does. The others may have .40 available.)

[/nerd] :D

I really need to get a hold of these books.

I just had a thought. If it's .30 cal bullets, not just .308 Win, then I want to cross the fictional dimensional barrier into the Grimnoir-verse and get the bullpup BAR made for Jake "Heavy" Sullivan.

[/nerd] :D

Yeah but the Feds use a sintered/frangible silver/lead combo that isn't available to the private joes like MHI. A Fed anti-monster 9mm probably has more overall silver than an MHI silver Pow-R-Ball .45 ACP.

You could load any variation of .45 bullets, even GAP.

I'm as big a 9mm fan as anyone, its what I carry, but when your standing at the gates of hell with unspeakable horror from beyond staring you in the face with the intent of unmentionable indignities I can see the point of maybe having more gun.

45ACP 1911 and a Smith 625.
45ACP SMG Grease gun
308 rifle G3
12 Gauge model 12

:DI'll play:

matched set of Springfield 1st gen Operators in 460 Rowland
1928 Thompson chambered the same, gotta love 50rd drums.
870 borderpatrol model

Mustn't forget the WWIII Kukri and Ryan combat hawk.

Other variations in mind just don't have the time to type. Gotta cast more silver
Cheers,

Just finished reading the third book of the series "Alpha", basically an adventure for Earl Harbinger. All three books have been a great read!

Put me down for:

1) Pair of 5" 1911 pistols backed up with beau coup 8 and 10 round magazines
2) Bushmaster's new 16" rifle in 7.62x51mm
3) Remington M870 12" with pistol grip stock/pump
or
3) a MAC-10 in .45acp, 1200 rpm of silver slinging psuedo chain gun. ;)

And I'll take a silver inlayed double bitted battle axe as icing on the cake please.

:evil:

SVI hi cap 5" barrell
HK ump
Barret 98b (does 338 count?)
mossberg 500

And to think my family calls ME a gun nerd.... Keep it coming guys, very entertaining.

I dislike carbines and autos for the most part. So, I guess a good 1911 and a pump shotgun, and a double barrel that's been cut down. Slugs count, correct?

Smith & Wesson M&P 45
Thompson with a 50 round drum
I don't know enough about .308 to choose
Mossburg 500.

Great series by the way. I just picked up the third book as soon as I finish the Hard Magic book.

45 ACP Pistol: S&W Model 29. Great for silver bullets filled with wood.

45 ACP Carbine: None. Get a FAL.

Rifle: FAL in 7.62x51mm, not 308 Winchester. 18" barrel, Trijicon ACOG 3.5x35mm, top rail, Aimpoint Micro T-1 offset, Vortex flashhider

Shotgun: Nah. Get another FAL.

Isn't the 29 a 44m revolver?

Springfield Armory Mil Spec 1911 Stainless Steel

Remington 870 (with wooden stake bayonet)

M-14, H&K or FAL for the .308 rifle

MAC-10 SMG (I figure if there are multiple creatures that close to me, it's time to spray the room and try to get to safety.)

I know we had to pick weapons as described BUT an AK would be priority weapon platform for such a crazy scenario.

Well if were going monster hunting with those 4 calibers. Mount me a Dillon Aero Mini gun to the roof of my Bronco, I'll strap on one of my 1911s prolly my Les Baer or SA loaded I'm leaning toward the SA it has trijicons and crimson trace grips. I want a good old Guide Lamp Co. grease gun slung around my neck and a M2 Benelli in a cruiser rack hooked to the dash.
God this sounds like fun.

You could load any variation of .45 bullets, even GAP.

I'm as big a 9mm fan as anyone, its what I carry, but when your standing at the gates of hell with unspeakable horror from beyond staring you in the face with the intent of unmentionable indignities I can see the point of maybe having more gun.

But, just maybe. :p

Pistol:
CZ 97BD
http://www.impactguns.com/data/default/images/catalog/535/cz_97bd.png

Shotgun:
Abomination

Rifle:
Marlin Model 1894cb (Sam didn't carry a .308)
http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/images/ssi-2009/19519.jpg

SMG / Carbine:
Kriss Super V
http://www.golgo73.com/IMAGES/tdi_kriss_superv1_apr07.jpg

Yes the 29 is a 44. I thought about 45 auto rim, but more power is better in this case. I would roll my own. The M25 would be compatible with those bullets but may not be in the optimal form. I would want hardcast SWC flatpoints for better thump.

CZ97BD (My love for CZ's is well-known)

Shorty FN-FAL

Mossberg 500

Something in an Officer-sized 1911 as a BUG, just in case.

One charater in the second book had a SIG P229 in I'm guessing .40 S&W so I would be set with my XD40 but I would like a SIG P220 SAO

1. XD40 or P220 SAO with a subcompact model of the same gun as a BUG.
2. Remington 1100
3. Full auto AR 15 clone in .45 ACP
4. PTR91 in .308

I will play.

1. .45 ACP pistol
For this I will carry three pistols on me (not as crazy as it sounds if you've already decided you carry a pistol). I think it might be quicker to draw another pistol if 1st is empth or has a malfunction. I will go with a Glock 21 (reliable and high capacity) and two Glock 30s.

2. .45 ACP SMG or carbine
I'm sure H&K must make something in 45 ACP like their MP5.

3. .308 rifle
M1A
Ruger Scout

4. 12 gauge shotgun
several Mossberg 590 (prefer the safety location) with various barrel lengths

Springfield Armory Mil Spec 1911 Stainless Steel

Remington 870 (with wooden stake bayonet)

M-14, H&K or FAL for the .308 rifle

MAC-10 SMG (I figure if there are multiple creatures that close to me, it's time to spray the room and try to get to safety.)

I know we had to pick weapons as described BUT an AK would be priority weapon platform for such a crazy scenario.
LOL. The wooden bayonet is an awesome idea.

NERDS!!

Oh... Wait a second... Never mind... Carry on then.

:D

1 - 1911. I'm not too picky about the styling or the brand, so long as it is 100% reliable.
2- Mac 10 or 11 machine pistol, with a Lage upper, and if possible a couple barrels and stock assemblies.
3 - FAL. maybe a long barrel, standard one and a shorter Para Carbine.
4 - Kel Tec KSG.

Cheating:
1- The Feds carry 10mm. Puff bounties pay alot. Shouldn't be to hard to find someone in the MCB who is willing to part with 100rds of ammo at $100 per bullet. I'd use them in a Glock 29, and maybe have a shortbarreled AR chambered in it.
2 - Dorris probably doesn't regular loads in her .44 magnum.
3 - If they buy just the bullets, fantastic, if not, I'd find a way to remove the bullet from a couple dozen rounds of .308, and reload them in 7.62x25 for a TT33 to use as an extra backup gun, and maybe find a PPSH or other submachinegun to load up with it. Its also likely to find its way into some 7.62x39 for an AK, and a Draco pistol.

Chris "the Kayak-Man" Johnson

Two eight shot SW model 627's.
My custom 870 with two crossed bandoleers of slugs and buck.
Two Cold Steel Bushman's for up close and personal.
A silver cross on a chain so big it should be in a rap video. :cool:

Hrrm. Aside from the class3, I'll go with things I actually own:

XD45c
Thompson m28 with 100rd FBI drums
Saiga .308
Saiga 12

I do tend to agree with the 10mm love though, so. . . Witness Match with 18 round mags? :)

Lotsa good picks already.

Since 45 cal bullets are available, make my carbine a 450 Bushmaster. I'll make do with the light 230 grain bullets. ;)

So:
1) Glock 21SF
2) 16" AR carbine in 450 Bushmaster
3) FN-FAL
4) Pistol grip 870 w/ mag extension

I'll go with concealed/trunk guns and loaded for bear. Zombie bear.

Concealed:
Pistol: G30 and G21 combo
SMG: KRISS Vector
Rifle: G3
Shotgun: 870 police

All Up:
Pistol: G21(s)
SMG: KRISS Vector
Rifle: H&K 21 (with original belt/magazine feed) They still hate me
Shotgun: 1187 police

The G30, G21 and the Vector can share magazines as can the G3 and the H&K 21. The 870 and 1187 can of course share ammo. H&K 21 can also feed from belts.

Revised mine slightly...

Everyday and/or concealed carry

1. Kahr P45 (black, night sights, belt holster) and Kahr PM45 (same options, ankle holster), 7-round TP-45 mags for reloads. Small guns, but I have small hands
2. MAC 10 SMG
3. Serbu Super Shorty 12 gauge
4. Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 (in the trunk of the car)

And when SHTF

1. S&W M&P45 with the Kahr PM45 for backup
2. H&K UMP SMG
3. Mossberg 590A1 12 gauge with bayonet
4. FN SCAR-H CQC (or FN MINIMI 7.62 T.R. Sliding Butt when you need solutions that come in belts, not magazines)

Or if feeling very old school

1. S&W M1917 revolver
2. M3A1 Grease Gun
3. Winchester M1897 Trench Gun
4. Indian Ishapore Lee Enfield 2-A1 (or a Bren L4A1 in 7.62 NATO)

I do wish that Kel Tec made a .45 caliber version of their SUB-2000 carbine, that would make a great EDC/concealed carbine option.

For the MHI fans, check out yesterday's post by Larry Correia on his Monster Hunter Nation blog (http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/fun-with-pictures-time/). The kid dressed up as Owen Zastava Pitt is my oldest. ;-)

.357 Mag
.243 Win
375 H&H
Mod-870 12ga

So easy a caveman could do it....

1. Two Para-Ordnance P14's in a double shoulder holster rig
2. Two sawed-off 12ga o/u's in a crossdraw belt rig
3. An HK UMP (it's a love/hate relationship)
4. DPMS SASS in .308

1. A full size custom Colt .45 auto
2. A concealed Colt .45 auto
3. Remington 870 with a 20 inch barrel, rifle sights and an 8 round magazine. (never found a semi auto that I really liked)

as for the weapon firing .308 diameter bullets?

4. 1918 B.A.R. beacuse if I feel the need to use a 'sub gun' I want one that will cut through a 34 Dodge sedan and keep going.

(Honorable mention for the 45 cal Uzi, but my limited experience is only with the 9mm and 22 cal full auto versions)

All arms marked with the glyphs of accuracy, protection and whoop-ass from "Hard Magic."

One charater in the second book had a SIG P229 in I'm guessing .40 S&W so I would be set with my XD40 but I would like a SIG P220 SAO

That's one of the Feds, who don't have the limited (albeit large) budget that MHI has.

I'd love to see someone in the books (Milo perhaps, since he's an AR guy and seems the type to adopt new cartridges) using an AR15 in .300BLK in some of the future books.

And it still bothers me that Sam carried a .45-70 lever gun, which was presumably loaded with the bullets MHI ordered for their .45 pistols. I don't reload, but isn't .452 vs .458 diameter enough to cause issues? Unless it was just hard-cast lead and he depended on his pistol (P220, IIRC) for everything that took silver to kill.

Glock 30
Glock 21 w/ Trijicon RMR
POF P308 PDW w/ Aimpoint Micro T1

I'll trade in the SMG & shotgun for a top of the line .308 can. ;)

R

EDC

Handgun- HK45 Compact Tactical. I can conceal it if need be, plus I can run a can and have +p+ loads. Dealing with Master Vampires is something you are going to need everything you got

SMG- HK UMP because they don't make an MP5 in .45. Not only am I an HK fan, but these things are very reliable as well.

Rifle- HK G3k with collapsing stock.

Shotgun- Remington 870 Police Model (deep blued finish, chrome bolt.

SHTF

Handgun- Mark 23 Mod 0 Socom with insight visible/ir illumination, and a can. This is the obvious choice if you need a handgun in battle. See the "Bet the Farm Thread" for more info.

SMG- UMP 45 again.

Rifle- HKG3 w/ HK69 grenade launcher. I'll have a 50 round drum or two on me in case I'm in Natchy Bottom...Or the UP Michigan. ;)

Shotgun- Benelli M1S90 W/ pistol grip, ghost rings, mag extension, and light. I'm old school and this shotgun still impresses me.

As you can see, I'm a huge HK fan. But when lives are at stake you leave nothing to chace...No compromise. :)

Since I am bored, here is a revamped line up.

Stoeger Cougar .45
http://www.genitron.com/HandgunDB/DBImages/stoeger-cougar-45.gif

Bushmaster Magpul .308 MOE-ML
http://www.tombstonetactical.com/images/bushmaster/90828-1.jpg

Tromix MKA 1919 14" SBS

Kriss Super V SMG with 2 round burst
http://www.golgo73.com/IMAGES/tdi_kriss_superv1_apr07.jpg

I'll play!

1. Springfield XDm .45
2. HK UMP-45
3. AR10 / M-60
4. AA-12

for pistol, even though it's an obvious choice, i'd do a custom STI 2011. i know, how original am i?

subgun, ump .45. in .45, you're limited.

rifle, my first choice would be Vera. since that's impossible (and a SAIGA frame anyway), AR-10. start with a flattop armalite and just go from there. JP low mass carrier and bolt, eighteen inch Krieger barrel, Geissele Trigger. top it with an ELCAN SpecterDR. Magpul PRS adjustable stock.

shotgun, spas-15. need the pump for alternative rounds, like the dradle slugs he was given. and the 15 uses a box magazine, like the SAIGA. also, i'd probably throw an M26 MASS on the AR-10 as well. so, technically, there'd be two shotguns.

if i weren't limited in caliber, i'd do a 10mm sub and a .50 Beowulf for the rifle.

Alrighty, I'll play. Mostly because I absolutely tore through the MHI books. Thoroughly entertaining.

.45 ACP would include a 1911 and an XD tactical.
12 guage would be a Mossberg with an 18 inch barrel, IC choke and adjustable rifle sights.
.308 would be an AR-10 with an ACOG.

Now for the absolutley crazy, run with the whole MHI thing and go over the top:
.45ACP would be a thompson and an XD.
12 guage would be one of those "Streetsweeper" drum fed shotguns.
.308 would be an M240.

My .30-06, my .30-06, my .30-06, & my .30-06 !!!!!!!!!!!

Streetsweeper... Completely forgot about those. That would have came in handy for Owen at the beginning of the second book!

Kind of a simple lineup

Pistol: 1911 variant
Subgun: Thompson m1a1
Rifle: .308 AR platform
Shotgun: 870

.45 Pistol: Berretta Px4 Storm
SubCarbine: Silenced, FA, AR based, 11.5" Barrel, 300 blackout (its 30 cal), Beta C Mags (another advantage to the 300BLK is uses normal AR mags :))
Rifle: Parker Hale M82 C3A1
Shotgun: Converted Saiga 12

JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT: Can someone please equip my ride with a MK19???

But since I'm a stubborn and handy feller, I'll melt down the company lead and cast/swage whatever I want to use

Pistol: FN 5.7

SubCarb: Same as above

Rifle: Barrett M82

Shotgun : Same

Webley VI topbreak, since I'm left-handed and if nothing else I can always cite the Samaritan from Hellboy as precedent.

Then for a shotgun a Saiga-12, since Saiga-12s are good. No folding stock like Abomination, though. I hate folding stocks.

Submachineguns are an obsolete concept, though monster hunting I suppose is much more CQB than real rifle work, and reliable automatic rifles weren't always available before the fifties. I have no preference in the modern era, but for pre-1950 I'd say a shoulder-stocked Schnellfuerer C96 covers the best firepower-and-duration-of-historical-availability balance.

For modern rifle, I'd just go for a vanilla FAL with a SUIT.

However, if we are talking olden days, I'd want a Ross 1905 or a Winchester '95 military. Fast, slick action and superb accuracy would make it a great monster-dropper without having to beat myself with some hugeass safari caliber.

Though a certain part of me would want a drilling. 16x16x9,3x72r with a bayonet lug and external hammers.

I have got to get my hands on these books. Are they available for the Kindle? lol

• Milkor MGL. What it lacks in silver-laced ammunition, it more than makes up for with bore size.


*Thereby cementing both my gun dork and urban fantasy nerd cred.

• Semmerling LM4*
Justin, I met F. Paul Wilson the other day. Being a professional writer peer went right out the window and I was just another squeeling fanboy. :D

I'd rather have a .45 ACP pistol, a .308 carbine with an aimpoint, a .308 rifle (semi-auto) with an ACOG, and a 12-gauge. My carbine would replace the .45 carbine.

I'm thinking that an evening hanging out with Owen and Repairman Jack would result in some pretty awesome stories.

:D

You should have told him that he ought to demand that Michael Mann do a remake of The Keep, because that movie should have been awesome.

Who needs 4? I'll list 3, in 2 distinct style sets:

Modern Combat Style:

1. HK USP Full Size (.45 ACP)
2. LMT .308 (.308/7.62)
3. Benelli M4

Cool Western Style:

1. Ruger Blackhawk (.45 Colt)
2. Marlin 1895 Guide Gun (.45-70)
3. Stoeger Coach Gun

Another author friend, Dan Wells, was with me at World Fantasy Con in San Diego last week. He walked up as I was talking to F. Paul Wilson. Afterward he told me "I've seen you meet a lot of authors, but I've never seen you go all squeeing fan boy before." :D

Larry, thought you should know that if Harry Harrison picks an author to continue writing Stainless Steel Rat books, I think you should be the guy (HH is quite old).
Lorenzo from Dead Six reminded me of a deadly version of Jim DiGriz/Stainless Steel rat, with a very similar wry observational humor.

I am going through withdrawal I need a new MHI book soon Larry

with that being said

1.) FNH FNP45 Tactical with RMR X400 and Osprey Suppressor
1-a.) Colt Commander 1911 (for carry)
2.) Remington 700 SPS Tactical decked out to the hills
3.) M3 "grease gun" just for Dad
4.) Mossberg 590A1

the M3 could be replaced by a MPA Carbine (Im not a fan of full auto anyway)
and the Mossberg could maybe be replaced by a FN SLP if I wanted semiauto
im a shotgun type of guy but if I had to have a rifle for entry probably just go with an AR10

so when can we start drooling in anticipation for a new MHI book?

You just convinced me to read Larry's books! :D

Was this EVER in doubt?

:)

I'm on Chapter 5 of the 1st book and have to say it's very interesting. Monsters aren't really my thing but this book is definitely worth picking up.

If I can choose anything:

Tricked out Witness or CZ 97
Kris subgun
BAR (would have to load the the 308 bullets into 30-06 cases, but controllable FA 30 caliber)
FN SLP

You should have told him that he ought to demand that Michael Mann do a remake of The Keep, because that movie should have been awesome.

I actually liked the 1983 film version of the Keep, as well as F. Paul Wilson's book. I thought the visuals were great and the Tangerine Dream synth score worked better than it had a right to.

I think Michael Mann would nonetheless be the wrong person to direct a remake. Not sure who I'd pick, but I think Mann's sensibilities have moved in a different direction.

I liked the Keep too - always enjoyed Mann's work.

I'll play:
Bul M5 in .45 Super. I've played with the Bul & the STI, the Bul fits my hand better.
HK UMP in .45 ACP. Loaded with Super and hopefully not kabooming.
AR10/SR25 .in 7.62 Nato.
Benelli M1.
Honourable mention if 9mm was allowed: Owen gun. I'm an Aussie, I know where to get one legally and its canon for the books.

BTW Larry, your thumping of OWS has been linked by Australia's second largest MSM conservative blog:

Time for a Hard Magic fantasy gun thread?

XD .45
Kriss Super V
Converted Saiga 308
Mossberg 590A1

1) USP c .45ACP
2) G20
3) 686+
4) Mossberg Shotty
5) AK-47 - Bulgy preferred

Only .451" bullets, .308" bullets and 12 gauage stuff?

OK:

FS handgun: S&W 4506
Compact handgun: S&W CS45
SMG: MAC-10 .45
Autoloading rifle: Armatlie AR-10 carbine
Long range rifle: Custom .300 Ultra on a 700 action
Shotgun: My cut-down Remington M11 :D

Webley Mk VI in .455

Semmerling in .45ACP

Farquahr-Hill in 30-06

Browning auto-5.

5.56 could be a possible cartridge along with .40/10mm. There were both in the book.

Three of mine would be Taurus Judges, the fourth would be a S&W Governor.

Don't forget the Circuit Judge for a rifle and a Circuit Judge for a shotgun!

My question is if we can use .45 LC then is a .454 casull permitted?

If yes then as fallows
EDC: Compact 1911 and a Mossberg 500 or Rem 870 in the car (not picky)
when i know where I'm going I'd want a Sig P220 for my hip and a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .454 for heavy hitting, I'd go with a FAL for a rifle.

That's about it.

It's a .452" diameter bullet, so have at it.

As mentioned, if you can load a .452" into a handgun round, a .308" into a rifle, and 12-gauge into a shotgun (debatable, with silver 00 shot), you're golden.

5.56x45 and 10mm/.40 are the government-issue counterparts.

In the first book, Owen is greeted by the MHI gate guard with an M4 as I recall.

There's no way I can keep this down to 4 guns, even with the caliber restrictions. Especially since I'll probably (like many others here) going to be loading the bullets in other cartridges.

For everyday carry, a .460 Rowland 1911 built on a STI Tactical frame, and a Glock 30SF as a backup

Kriss Super V SMG, and Kriss KARD pistol for when the gear gets tossed on. All of them using the same magazines is certainly handy. Goes with the Glock 30SF too

8" Saiga 12 select fire shotgun.

Magpul Massoud carbine w/ masterkey.

M1A w/ Krieger Heavy Barrel, Troy MCS chassis and Magpul PRS stock.

DTA SRS Covert Chassis, with the various conversion kits (.308 covert, .308, and .300 win mag), for when I have to reach out and touch something.

and Kriss KARD pistol

Never knew about it till I just googled it. That is one fugly gun!

It was described to me at last year's SHOT show as such:

It's basically a Glock 18 where you can actually hit what you're aiming at.


I've wanted one ever since. :D

H&k UMP in .45 auto
FNP 45
H&K 417 7.62
And if I am gonna shoot buckshot give me a bloop gun in 40mm.

It was described to me at last year's SHOT show as such:

Hey, wow. That's actually kind of impressive. And if you're limited to just a pistol for whatever reason, I can see the application.

On the other hand, it's bulky enough I'd rather have the subgun.

On the other hand, it's bulky enough I'd rather have the subgun

My XD that I'm wearing now has a mounted weapon light which makes it just as bulky and I don't have a problem with it.

On the other hand, it's bulky enough I'd rather have the subgun.

I went with both :D

1) One of the STI double stack 1911s
2) Suppressed 9" AR in 300 Blackout for up close
3) LWRC REPR in 7.62x51 for distance
4) Saiga 12 SBS for...fun?

Standing at Hell's door w/ what I know now:

A couple decent 1911s.
Marlin 1895 45/70
BLR .308
870 w/ a 20" barrel and a gold bead

If I had time to learn 'em first:
a couple expensive 1911s.
Marlin 1895 45/70 (by WWG)
BLR .308
870 w/ a 20" barrel, gold bead and a modified choke

Of course, I'd rather have a couple GP100s (4" & 6") & my 1894. But that would be cheating...

I have to opt for the 870 Marine Magnum, just because of all the corrosive vampire sweat and caustic zombie blood splashing around. For similar reasons, S&W 625 and a M1A with the stainless match barrel and synthetic stock.
I'd like a Mark 48 LWMG instead of a SMG, but if I can't I'll take a MAC 10.

I just finished MHI and gave it to my son, so I ordered all 3 books, can't wait till they're here next week.
