WALKIND DEAD no .22LR

[JSH1]

What's with shooting your dogs?

Not everyone takes their dog to the vet when that time comes. Some take care of business themselves.

That is what I should have done with my last dog that I had put down about 2 months ago. We went to the vet which of course the dog hates. It took about 15 minutes, first the sedative and then the actual injection. So the last 15 minutes of my dog's life she is freaking out not knowing what is going on.

We should have went for a walking in the woods instead.

I kiiled a downed cow that had milk fever with a .22 pistol, but it took me several shots. From what my landlord at the time (whose cow it was, he invited me to help him as he'd done it hundredes of times) said, the area needed to hit to instantly drop 'em is about 2x2" and not where you'd think it is. Once he pointed it out, the one shot made it drop flat. (OK, so the head dropped flat. The rest of it was already down.)

On a lighter side!
U guys ever noticed that in THE WALKING dead series they never shoot the zombies in the head with .22LR ammo?
It seems to me that .22LR ammo would be ideal for them since it makes a-lot less noise, you can carry 4 times as much, it's a lot lighter and cheaper.
But no, u always see Rick, Daryl, and company blast those bastards away with a .357 magnum, AR-15 in 556 or 233 caliber or a 12 gauge shotgun.
The Israeli army and Mossad use a .22LR pistol to assassinate the terrorist and enemies of the state by shooting them in the head.
Maybe there is a shortage of .22LR in the WALKING DEAD too!
Someone should tell the producers/writers to introduce .22 ammo into the show so they don't alert every walker in the Zip code when they use a .357 magnum cannon to over-kill a dead zombie.

But they did. Carl was using a 22 with a silencer. But after 5 seasons (two to two and a half years in their time) they may have run out of 22 rimfire scrounged from stores, factories and stranded delivery trucks.

Yes, when you constantly make bad tactical decisions and do things that attract predators instead of avoiding them you tend to run through a lot of ammunition. This applies to any and all predators not just fictional movie themes.

You don't even need to focus on The Walking Dead being completely deficient in .22 rimfire guns, I've never seen one in any zombie theme show or movie ever. Then, you can't even find them in video games! I'm not as big a gamer as I was a few years ago, but I've never seen .22 in any game ever be it zombie themed or other.
.22 is the most disrespected cartridge in the media. It may as well be to start treating it like an air rifle and sell them without background checks.

The younger girl in zombie land used a pump action 22 that's about all I can think of personaly for rotten squash heads I think open chokes and some #4 buck would work beautifully with any crowd control problem.
but I can't say I wouldn't drag my 8 shot 22lr revolver along with just too easy to carry with a good amount of ammo not to and effective enough

More than any thing the lack of ppe while splattering infected tomato soup cans at bad breath distance

i wonder too, i mean a backpack full of .22lr should be enough to kill ~100,000 zombies assuming single shots. figure i could get 20rd bricks in a backpack pretty easily, more if dumped in loose

It seems that unless you are totally being overrun clubs, swords, and knives are much more quiet than even 22LR, and seem to take out zombies very well.

Guns seem to have their place not for fighting zombies but fighting other humans, and at that point you'd want something a bit bigger than a 22LR

Well, when I "Z Out" I will still be sitting on my "hoard" of ten thousand rounds of rimfire....... and be surrounded by a pile of empty .30-30, .223Rem and 7.62X51 brass...... and .45ACP when the Zombies finally close in.

Make an imaginary X between the ears and eyes of almost any mammal that walks on four feet. Put your shot at the intersection and they drop like they were smitten by God. Dad used to hire a guy to process our cows and hogs, and that's where he always put them. They would lead the beast to where it was going to be hoisted, then throw down a handful of feed. When it bent over to take a bite--pop, THUD.

Used to call this one my "Bunny Killer". Today it's my "Zombie Killer". Hey, one has to keep up with the times.

Ya'll know we don't do TV/Movie/Fiction threads about shows. Anyway, the answer is ... gunshow hoarding walmart aisle campers.
