more great content for this list we’re
ranking firearms based on their ease of
use practicality reliability and
effectiveness in killing the Walking
Dead specifically not all these guns are
civilian legal so this is more of a wish
list than a practical one also mandatory
public safety announcement time while
these guns are fun to talk about gun
safety should never be taken lightly the
Tommy gun evolved into the modern
submachine gun and inspired the personal
defense weapon a new generation of
compact automatics used by elite forces
everywhere
number 10 Benelli m4 super 90 here the
m4 would take on the competition and
ultimately be chosen as the new United
States joint service combat shotgun when
they’re zombies most dangerous when they
have you surrounded and outnumbered
that’s when in that scenario the ability
to engage multiple zombies rapidly is a
huge asset any shotgun is great for
fending off the undead at close range
but having semi-automatic capability
would go a long way against a horde
given the prevalence of the 12 gauge
round throughout the world an added
bonus of the Benelli would be that
scavenging for ammo shouldn’t be a
problem even if you can’t get a kill
shot on a walker there’s enough stopping
power and one of those to flatten them
this weapon is known to the US military
is the m1014
and if it’s reliable enough for them it
shouldn’t let you down this is a really
big truck and these are really
big gun number nine the FN p90 and this
is one weapon that doesn’t care if your
left or right-handed and the dextry is
totally emmett extras since it loads
from the top you can load it with either
hand designed to bridge the gap between
assault rifle and submachine gun the p90
is small lightweight ergonomic very
accurate and can reach out to over 200
yards add the low recoil and the fact
that the magazine holds 50 round and
you’ve got in your perfect weapon for
virtually any situation where plinking
zombie heads is required whether you’re
in close quarters or in the wilderness
so why is it only numb or not to get
those impressive stats the small 5.7
millimeter bullets not only lack
stopping power but also are not super
common so you may have a tough time
stocking up on ammo and the same goes
for replacement magazines number eight a
k47 aka Kalashnikovs automatic rifle
it’s the world’s most popular assault
rifle a weapon all fighters love there
are dozens of variations of the
Kalashnikov design but they all share
one thing in common
reliability this is a rifle that you can
use in abuse
get dirty and beat the crap out of it
doesn’t matter where you have to go or
what you have to do on your journey the
calash will probably outlive you thanks
to its stopping power against
approaching walkers some may favor the
bigger 7.62 millimeter round still it
ain’t perfect aks are notorious for
being heavier than their competition and
some people have found trouble adding
accessories to them so you may be stuck
with just a heavy bare-bones rifle still
you could do worse number 7 Ruger 10/22
compared to some of the other weapons on
this list this may not seem like a
serious rifle here is out though the gun
is semi-automatic and it fires a 22 long
rifle that means bullets should be
pretty easy to find no matter where you
go and given how tiny they are you can
literally carry thousands in your pack
not to mention they’re quieter than most
rifles and don’t kick nearly as much in
short you can fire rapidly at attacking
Walker’s without attracting dozens more
to your location and you need not fear
running out of bullets like with some of
the other guns we’ve mentioned Ruger
also makes the mark to pistol but given
the extra range the rifle affords we
think we’re better off with that
number six Edgerrin coke mark 23
designed for US Special Forces as an
offensive sidearm the mark 23 is hailed
as one of the most rugged and reliable
handguns ever built firing the beefy45
acp round which is subsonic by nature
the gun comes with a long suppressor
ready threaded barrel making it
virtually unbreakable quiet and with
excellent stopping power as well as
remarkable accuracy however while it may
be a close-range zombie hunting demon
it’s not without its drawbacks the
magazines are limited to only 12 rounds
and the gun is big and freakin heavy so
if you’re in trouble it’s not going to
be a great defensive sidearm that’s not
what it was built for though and hey
it’s good enough for Rick good enough
for us you do what we say we don’t hurt
you number 5 FN SCAR H you may have
noticed there’s a lack of sniper rifles
on this list but for those of you hoping
to pick off zombies from afar consider
this even if you are able to scavenge
the right ammo carrying a good supply
with a rifle is going to weigh you down
and if you’re in trouble you won’t be
able to fire the gun rapidly and each
shot will attract walkers from miles
around the star H is lightweight enough
they won’t hold you back and it’s very
reliable with the beefy 7.62 millimeter
bullet giving you a ton of power at
close range and still being lethal at
long distances this could just be the
most versatile weapon in your zombie
killing arsenal number 4 Glock pistol no
we didn’t pick a specific Glock model
vlachs come in a variety of different
sizes and with a huge array of different
calibers so zombie hunters need to pick
the one that’s right for them just
remember the bigger the pistols the more
bullets it holds and given the
9-millimeter is the most common handgun
calibre bullets shouldn’t be hard to
come across when scavenging unlike the
mark 23 the Glock is our defensive
choice of pistol and given its legendary
reliability and complete ease of use
it’s a good choice to have in your life
when it hits the fan
number three heckler & koch mp5
the gold standard did some machine guns
for more than 50 years the mp5 has
earned its place in history as one of
the ultimate close quarters weapons
let’s go through the list these define
bullets check low recoil check reliable
check rapid fire check check check
compact and lightweight it’s easy to
throw this gun on a backpack so
you’ll have it when you need it whether
you’re clearing on abandoned building in
search of supplies or fending off an
attack the mp5 should be no one’s last
choice last bonus if you’ve also got a
nine-millimeter pistol you’ll only have
to carry one type of ammo on your tracks
as the mp5 fires the same bullet number
two Remington Model 870 everything that
was good about the Benelli m4 is true of
this legendary shotgun – only in
pump-action form so what do we get for
losing rapid fire first reliability
which in case you hadn’t noticed is kind
of a big deal second there are tons of
aftermarket parts out there from
sidesaddle shell holders to extended
magazine tubes so if you get your hands
on them you can add your shotgun to make
it all the more efficient Plus
considering this is probably the most
common shotgun in the world for both
hunting and tactical use finding
replacement parts should rarely if ever
be an issue before we lock and load our
top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
with this big boys but not 250 rounds a
minute you tell me who’s tolerated
[Music]
number one the heckler and koch hk416
ar-15s have a lot going for them in the
zombie apocalypse relatively low recoil
good range good accuracy common bullets
and they take standard nato magazines
plus their commonality goes a long way
but that pesky direct gas impingement
system doesn’t do its reliability any
favors which could cost you your life if
you’re surrounded by walkers enter the
hk416 all the good – the issues even
with its short ten and a half inch
barrel its reliability can rival that of
the a.k while still being lightweight
versatile simple to modify with lights
and parts and above all lethal when it
comes to taking on the undead there is
no better weapon do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
