Best airgun against Zombies?

Post by atomicgale »

Now that the stores have been looted, the competitions cancelled & all the hand sanitizer pilfered by price-gougers here in rural Tennessee, which would be the best airgun for use in defending against Zombies?

An air gun against zombies, I’d say the heaviest one, used as a club.

Save your ammo and just walk fast. Those guys in the posted picture appeared to be holding very large caliber air pistols. They might have been NERF guns. With all of the hoarding going on you have to be careful that you don’t whack what you thought was a zombie only to find out that it was a non-undead regular dude or dudette that didn’t make it to the personal hygiene aisle before everything was gone.Good Hunting and hey! Be careful out there!

I was impressed by the Umarex Hammer.
Get a few of their rotten zombie skulls in a straight line and save ammo too.

In Germany they're stocking up with sausage and cheese because of the crisis.

They're calling it the Wurst Kase scenario.

FULL-AUTO BATTERY GUN! For when the Zombies go "Over the Top" & come streaming out of the trenches . . .

That Sean Connery LP53 piston air pistol . $430,000 Auctioned.

How accurate is it? Shooting on 10M target, what score do you expect?

Any modern replica?

Walther LPM-1 re-purposed into a Naboo Blaster. Will take out zombies, droids, storm troopers, etc.

I'll convert it back to an LPM-1 as soon as I get a replacement piston.
