Once again, those chaps at Beretta catch our eye. Another in their Storm collection, the Beretta Px4 Storm sub-compact brings the reliability and innovation that comes with the Beretta name. While concealed carry isn’t always in the list of traits for a reliable firearm, there are obvious perks that come with the sub-compact category. I hate to mention, but sometimes zombies aren’t the only bipedal humanoid threat in this day and age. Having a nice powerful pistol tucked away is always a survivability modifier. Also, when you’re bringing weapons out, this one is nice and small, so it will be much easier to find room for this, than a full framed 1911 (although having both is the most optimal, I imagine). Even with it’s small size, the Px4 can still handle standard (and highly available) 9mm ammunition (It’s also available in .40 S&W), packing an amazing 13 rounds (10 in .40 S&W version) in such a sleek package.

Bringing a reliable firearm is no doubt a concern of every zApocalypse survivalist, but always ensuring you’ve got the ammunition when you’re out and about makes this difficult to manage sometimes. You want to be able to bring a weapon that has great range and accuracy, but sometimes all you’ve got is pistol ammunition. Beretta must have put some thought into this problem when they introduced the Cx4 Storm. The legendary arms manufacturer has delivered a great weapon system that allows you to bring some serious accuracy at range when all you’ve got is pistol ammunition. If you’ve only got .40 S&W, .45 ACP or 9mm laying around, no problem. The Storm fires’em all. Another big perk, it accepts all types of customization thanks to the Picatinny rails all over this beauty. Pull the sights off of that dry, useless AR-15 and slap it on the Storm, and you’re ready to put some rounds in zombie skulls.

I’m not here to make your decision of which side to take in the great “revolver vs semi-auto” debate, but I do want to make sure you have plenty of options when making up your mind. Enter the Smith & Wesson M&P R8, an 8-shot revolver bought to you by one of the premier revolver manufacturers. Yes I’ll make sure you hear that right, the R8 model 327 fires eight (8) .357 magnum rounds. In the zombie infested world of zTomorrow, you need a reliable rugged, easy-to-use firearm if you’re not an expert in all things boom. Revolvers have fewer moving parts, and rely a lot less on oils and lubricants, meaning if you’ve got poor firearm cleaning habits, the revolver will most likely perform when the zeds bash the barriers down at the worst possible time. The above image shows an optional configuration, normally the optics and light are not included…but c’mon, look at that beast! shell out the extra scratch to make your sidearm feel like it’s your go to weapon of choice.

Alright so Snipers have known for decades that range is one of the most critical factors that keep them safe and make it much tougher for the enemy to evade your fire (if they have no idea where you are, they don’t know where to hide). Enter the Desert Arms Stealth Recon Scout. Any decent rifle can give you serious firepower and accuracy at crazy long range, but the Stealth Recon Scout is a compact sniper weapon system allowing you to carry and deploy it much easier when you need to stay agile. The idea behind the SRS is a compact highly flexible weapon system with the ability to shoot several calibers, allowing the shooter to choose the right round for the job quickly and easily. The bull pup configuration keeps this beast a full foot shorter than most sniper rifles, which in conventional warfare will allow a sniper to move around with other combat units without attracting any additional attention until they’re ready to bring the fire. So maybe zombies don’t notice or care, but you’ll appreciate it when you’re lugging it through all types of terrains in any makeshift vehicles you may be hot wiring.

There’s two ways to get the name “Doctor” in for the Zombie Apocalypse: The first being an actual doctor with an actual degree, the second is being a Master Surgeon with complete mastery of the Scalpel. When I say Master Surgeon, I mean a dead-shot with any rifle from Surgeon Rifles and when I say Scalpel, I mean their custom Tactical Rifle that bears that name.
Surgeon Rifles carries a wide range of fully customizable, long range rifles for those who’s idea of fun doesn’t include getting up close an personal with the Undead. Just find some high ground, stock up some extra Ammo and pick ‘em off one by one.

A good carbine is something any zombie survivalist would love to have slung to their shoulder when clearing a location, or moving though the tight urban ruins. Most carbines are chambered in the 5.56mm NATO round (the classic bullet used by the M-16), but in recent times many have felt in a carbine with the shortened barrel, the 5.56 doesn’t have the punch that it usually has when fired from a longer 24 inch barrel. Enter the 6.8mm Special Purpose Cartridge (SPC), delivering 44% more energy than a 5.56 NATO when fired from the same barrel length (16 inches), the six-eight gives you the power you need to put rounds through zombie skulls, even if you have to get through the wall in front of you first. The Bushmaster 6.8 SPC rifle uses a slightly modified magazine and upper receiver to allow you to fire the 6.8 SPC from a familiar weapon system (the M4/AR-15 framework), reducing your learning curve when the z’s pile up at your door. the Bushmaster 6.8 SPC has a 16 inch M4 profile barrel allowing you to move through cramped areas and still bring your weapon into play. Plus the 6.8mm gives you more power than the 5.56 NATO, but is still far more controllable than the 7.62mm fired from heavier rifles.

We’ve helped you stock your weapons cache with all kinds of rifles and long arms as well as a couple of pistols, but you should also think about packing an effective sub machine gun out in the zombie playgrounds as well. The KRISS Super V Vector SBR/SO should fill that role nicely, we think. Most of our favorite SMGs fire the ever popular 9mm, but you want the option to bring the thunder without spoiling your aim while unleashing the full auto fury. The Vector fires the manly (not Manley) .45 ACP, but the Super V system reduces felt recoil by 60% as well as reducing muzzle climb by a whopping 95%. Yes, that means you can put the slugs right where you need them, even when firing full auto at 1000 rounds per minute. Take that, Zed!

Sometimes life just doesn’t go according to plan. Some day you may find that even though you’ve taken every precaution in a given situation, you still end up with a wall of the walking dead between you and a safe escape. Well Tromix Lead Delivery Systems can help you turn that wall of zombies into a door of the dead.
