plans for the inevitable undead uprising
Patrick:
If I had 24 hours' notice I could go down the street, knock on somebody's door, and say "Hey do you guys have an AK-47 and some ammo I could have?" and they probably would. This is because the third world doesn't fuck around with the zombie threat.
Boro_Bandito:
Ha. The key of it all is the headshot.
Like I said on fire, not used in dire hand to hand combat situations. Given enough time though fire will destroy a zombie, it just has to burn for long enough. You light em on fire from a safe position, and watch as they don't notice themselves lumber around on flame until they're nothing more than a pile of charred bones.
And also, does the book note whether or not zombies can see? Take a blow torch to the face and the eyes will melt, making vision impossible. How effective a killer is a zombie whose mouth has been melted shut?

I was using intentional hyperbole to note how ineffective ANY weapon is unless you get a headshot off. No real legal and attainable firearms have the sheer force to kill a zombie without a headshot, so the difference between power in a handgun and sidearm starts to become negligible in any situation where shooting a zombie is the right move to begin with.

Really? It is possible to obtain grenade launchers, mortars, and MGs here. Each grenade would cost over $300, and would require you to fill out horrible paperwork, as would each mortar round, but an MG you would only have to pay the $300 once, along with the horrible cost of an MG, since supply is so much lower than demand.
Of course, for now, you are allowed to own whatever you want in most of the country, as long as you don't try to kill anyone with it.
Albania counts as third world? I didn't know that, course, I don't know anything about Albania.

Ah well, I will still forever hate pistols. Hitting something that's moving when you're even a li'l excited is a bitch with one. People use rifles even for varmint hunting for a reason folks; there really is a combination of ergonomics, mental cues and flatter trajectory that shouldn't be underestimated. But anyway, yeah, obviously availability is the ultimate arbiter. Beyond a certain point you may as well suggest nuking the things from orbit, after all. And like I said, in my area you can purchase rifles/shotguns (but not handguns) with nothing but a FBI*NICS check, which basically means the only thing stopping you is a criminal record. That and I have like, 9 of them.
negative creep:
seriously, there are NO gun stores within a radius of maybe 50km from where i live. And even if there were, they'd only sell guns that are basically harmless. what am i supposed to do, walk up to the army barracks and go like "HAI GUYS I CAN HAS ASSAULT RIFLEZ, PLZ?" yeah,... probably.
