    Zombies wont be that much of a problem ,in my county,With the meth problem,they wont have any teeth.

    Same thing here, as long as the zombie outbreak happens when I'm working.
    But, with the chemicals they use to manufacture, the flaming zombie problem crops up again. They'll be faster than regular zombies too.

    is 7.62 nato Fal too much, i love my AR but im really on an Fal kick right now. im happy with any .223/5.56 if only headshots count. as for a nailing a zombie in the head and it not fully killing them, they'll probably still be knocked out, or you could just fire again. .22 would be great if you hangin out on a roof all day poppin zombies from a secure location, i wouldnt go running around with it as a primary though, consider .22 ammo is not the most reliable ammo and rimfire in magazines isn't as reliable as rimless for feeding, thats a big risk to take, if you need thousands of rounds of ammo you need a camp, your not humping it around.

    I'm going with V-Max, I have about 3000 of them loaded up. The way they pop a prairie dog they should pop a zombie's skull pretty good!

    Zombies laugh at 223/5.56.

    They're dead and dried out, so you can't rely on any hydrostatic shock effect.

    The hydrostatic shock (Fluid shockwave) is the effect of liquid in soft tissue from high velocity impacts.

    Don't you watch zombie movies. Yes they are dead but far from dried out. most are quite juicy and full of liquid. IMO any high velocity round will have good effect on zombies.

    I'm not a big zombie expert, but here's my dream arsenal for the walking dead.
    2 5.7 FNs with a green laser on the left hip and a red laser on the right hip. For the main
    weapon a rifle of the same caliber with a red-dot sight. In place of a butt-pack a 12ga
    with at least 2 rounds. In the left shoulder holster a .380 with silencer and an Arkansas
    toothpick in my boot....Oh,and a ride ,this stuff's heavy!!!
