If you had to choose one of the following... (56k Beware)

[Stoic Socialist]

Which one would you choose?












(Semi-Auto)


.45/.454



 

[Sniper561]

First one hands down. AR-15s have always been my SHTF weapon of choice.  

[ArmasTermin]

That last one's freakin' cool, what is it?

But yeah, AR is the optimum zombie rifle for sure.  

[Stoic Socialist]

It's a Remington 700 with a little work. You can find it here.

What would you guys say if there wasn't an AR?

I'd put the 870 barrel in my mouth and pull the trigger.

What would you guys say if there wasn't an AR?

Well that's officially on my list. What calibers does the 700 come in?

If the AR wasn't on there? I guess I'd use that SMG with all the crap hanging off it.

BUZZ wrong.

Though M-16 does have it's advantaged, it isn't the optimum.

I personally can;t decide between the Springfield or the Shotgun.

They are a tie, but depending on where I'm at and such.
The 700 comes in most major calibers. 30-06, .308, etc.  

[OberFeldwebel]

Mmm... that Springfield would be nice. That is a 1903 Springfield right?
It's 30-06 or at least it should be if someone didn't "******** it up" and well it touches with my ... fondness to military firearms.

However, adding a Sig 550 would have made my choice exponentially harder.

I disagree. The AR is light and mobile. And the .223 round is exactly what you want. If you're trying for head shots all the time at a medium-short range, a high-capacity rifle with light ammunition at high velocities is exactly what you want. And with a scope it can be accurate out to 400 yards. You can have fun with your slow reload times and heavy ammo when they're swarming, but I'll take 30 rounds per mag of skull-piercing .223 any day.  

[Stoic Socialist]

The Remington 700 has everything from .17 Remington, to .375 RUM, a necked up Remington Ultra Mag.

Yes, I believe it's a Springfield.

If I added an Arsenal AKM, a Sig 556, an FN FS2000, and an SBRed .45 Lee-Enfield, what would you say?

That's why you carry a side arm, and since you don't have any form of bayonet or melee ability with it, you'll be chewed lunch.

And if you have the stripper clips, it's far from slow, easier to reload said clips than the AR magazine, and if for some reason one of the clips does jam or not load, you can pull the shell out and load it that way, versus the AR.
And with a scope, the 1903 can be accurate to like, 800 yards.

Plus the 1903 is more reliable, which is saying something.

Enfield? That remake that takes 1911 mags?

Si señor.  

[OberFeldwebel]

You shouldn't melee with a scoped rifle anyway. Seeing as how a bump could knock it off center, in this situation, a smash through a zombie skull.  

[Man of the Demoneye]

I have to go with the springfield. It is reliable, as stated before and can be used at long ranges.

Ultimately, an M1 garand would be my top pick

Eh, I've seen one, it was cool, but I wouldn't use it.

I'd just go with a 1911.

I've got one, it's great, but the clips are annoying, tedious to reload, and hard to find if you lose them.
