Reasons not to use a shotgun during a zombie invasion

[Christmas]

actually the first place I would try to make my way too, is the Gun Emporium. It actually has a working mini gun in it. That store is loaded with different types of weapons and believe it or not, tactical shit. everything from kneepads to kevlar helmets. plus the humvee they use to advertise the store is such a great vehicle to modify and take to your local walmart.

Who needs a humvee if the enemy doesn't shoot back?

Shit, I'd just get a minivan, cut a big hole in the roof and attach a 50 cal to it and I'm set.

why wouldn't you?? on a humvee you wouldn't have to cut out a hole to mount a .50 cal on it, since it has one already.

why go out of your way to modify a vehicle when it already has everything needed on it.

Gas. I'll take the extra work over the possibility of running out of fuel twice as quickly.

You might need to, so it helps to at least have ideas when you're in odd situations.

But yeah, I'd get either a van or a bus if I could.. Maybe even a boat.

Well, the Humvee, provided you can find a gas station, has a much larger tank, so I presume the overall mileage (assuming you have a source to fill your whole tank) matches out pretty well. Plus, minivans aren't exactly all terrain vehicles, nor are the very sporty: the one I have to drive on occasion can't take most turns at much more than 20mph without risk of putting it up on two wheels. If you have a supplies nearby (or at your destination), or if you know you can loot en route to wherever you're going, a utility ATV might work.

inthebutt, stop reminding me that I live in a state with far too many gun laws for a store like the gun emporium to support itself. The closest thing to useful combat gear I could loot would be clothing/tactical gear from a surplus store nearby. Have a gun store nearby, although they don't really stock anything I can't already get except a large supply of ammo. Loads of car dealerships, none of which would be of any use though, unless of course you're apocalyptic automobile of choice is a Mercedes... or a Lexus... or a Toyota... or a Subaru...

I second this.

Humvees are gas guzzlers.

Like NYS is a jizz guzzler.

it may be a gas guzzler but its basically indestructible. have you ever seen a minivan plow through a group of cars and come out the other side and still able to work??? have you ever seen a minivan crash through multiple walls of a building only to drive away??

you never know when your gonna need to get off of the surface streets and go a little urban off-roading through building and other vehicles. plus your typical humvee out weighs your minivan so its harder to flip at higher speeds.

Go with a Jeep !

Take the soft top off and rig up a mount, add .50 Cal Done

I understand.

But why not get a heavy duty truck, with good mileage?

Does it need to?

These are zombies, not soldiers.

Off roading=bad idea.

Also, how fast do you honestly need to go in a zombie invasion. Last time I checked zombies don't move very fast.
