All I've got right now is a norinco MAK90 . its plenty accurate enough for zombie work , right around 4" offhand and 100 yards . I'd like another but not sure what model I'd like . the finnish clones I've seen look nice but are kinda expensive , esp for and AK.

I'm also having an M92 yugo underfolder in 7.62 being built . I've shot one before and had to get my own. I'm sure I'd feel the same way about a sidefolder in 5.45 also. they do feel good in the hands.

I've also shot a tromix 12 ga krink . thats also getting put on a "must have " list but its quite a ways off for now.

This one. I think everyone will agree that it is superior.

i have a saiga 12 and love it. tony has an unreal waiting list, so find one for sale or get on the list and start saving.

I gotta get a yugo, the ones I've handled were great guns and a very nice AK variation. i have a side folder, with the appropriate receiver mods for the forward latch and both a triangle and a full profile poly stocks. the triangle is more compact, but the poly beats it hands down for comfort, cheek weld and shootability.

I have several home built Romanian's that have worked really well

I have around 25 30 round mags for them so am pretty set once I get another case of ammo in storage

I really like the Saiga's...Tony's work at TROMIX.com is top notch and I really want a .223 AND a Saiga 12gauge and a .308 for reaching out there

i really like my romy, i use the Bulgarian poly's and the Chinese flatbacks for mags. i do have a crate full of euro mags that work just as well.

a 308 would be great to have, mags are too pricey though.

I went to the gunshow and paid $50 for 10 magazines... I got it last year a few months after my 21st birthday. It was my birthday present to myself. xD

I keep it in the trunk of my squad car just incase I find myself in the middle of a bank hiest or something. lol

I used to keep an Mforgery and a mossy 590A1 in my squads trunk.

Check it out, this is my first post here but I figure I might have a little knowledge to spread so here we go.

I've read through a number of posts on here already about zombie fighting firearms. A lot of good points in favor of many weapons but also a lot of overlooking when it comes to our soviet friend, the AK-47.

There are many reasons why an AK-47 would be the ideal zombie firearm. I'll go ahead and make a list so it's easy to follow.

1. AK's do not require much firearm knowledge- It's important to remember that not every single person in this world is firearm savvy, however AK's are simple to operate and most people can pick it up and use it effectively with just being shown once or twice how to operate the action and reload.

2. AK's require little to no maintenance- Every weapon requires maintenance during sustained use. The M16A4 which is current issue for the US military, requires cleaning after only a few fully loaded magazines are fired as I've been privy to time and again during my current enlistment as a US Marine. The exact opposite is true for an AK47. I won't go too deep into the mechanics of it but the AK doesn't inject gas from an expended round directly into the chamber like an M16/AR variant rifle does. This leads to a much cleaner operation and extended time between cleanings. AK's can even have their bolts rusted shut, kicked open, and fired whereas a little mud anywhere near an M16 makes it crap all over itself.

3. AK's are accurate enough- Now I know I'll hear some crap for this one but hear me out. As a Marine, I'm trained to hit targets at 500 yards with iron sights on my M16A4. Your average individual won't be able to achieve that accuracy without proper training with that weapon. Weapons are only as accurate as the person firing them. I don't know about you, but I've never had to engage a target with an M16 at 500 yards other than on the qualification range. Zombies are definitely not even a threat at this range so why bother trying to make that shot? Urban fighting, 300 yards and down, is where you'd be engaging most zombies and probably not until something like 100 or 50 yards in all honesty. This is where the AK shines. At 300 yards, an AK is still accurate enough to hit a man sized target, closer in it just becomes easier.

4. AK's are cheap and so is there ammo- A stock AR platform these days can run upwards of $700US and that doesn't include sexy accessories like ACOGs. An AK can be had in it's perfectly legal semi-auto variant for under $600US depending on where you buy from. As for ammo, 5.56NATO isn't a cheap round, trust me but 7.62x39 can be had for half as much and you'll get twice as much ammo. The pricing again depends on your supplier but on average that ratio is going to be all encompassing.

I think there was more I wanted to point out but my long post has sapped my thinking and reasoning skills. I now open this to discussion as I'm sure there will be disagreements amongst some folks with what I have stated here. I don't claim to be an expert on firearms and their workings but I will say I am very well informed and very well trained with a diverse spectrum of firearms. That being said, embrace me, make me your brother.
