TG is completely right about overcoming your fear and doing it. As we used to say in the Army: Most fun you can have with your clothes on.
I’ve done three HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) and over a dozen LALO (Low Altitude Low Opening) jumps. The LALO jump is performed at about 700′ and you have no reserve chute (if your main chute fails to open at that height, you have no time to deploy your reserve). It is an incredible rush and you’re on the ground before you know it. Matter of fact, the only thing that’ll get your blood humming faster is someone shooting at you (which I don’t recommend).
You should definitely sky dive. It’ll change your entire outlook.[/quote]
Blah blah blah,,,,when I was your age I carried an M16 and fought commies…
Can we get back to zombies please?

February 7, 2010 at 4:25 PM #510356Allan from FallbrookParticipantDan: As you wish. If I were to devise an anti-zombie strategy, I would focus on choosing weapons for long-range, mid-range and short-range.
Long-range: Something with good distance, but uses easily acquired ammo (available at your local, abandoned Walmart). I’m gonna recommend the Remington 700 in 7.62mm NATO/.308 Winchester with an off-the-shelf Leupold telescopic sight.
Mid-range: Something will full-auto capabilities, also easily acquired from your local National Guard armory. Either the M16 or the M4, with a 4x or ACOG sight setup, if available.
Short-range: Something with tremendous stopping power, but able to be grabbed from any cop car anywhere in the US: 12ga pump gun, either Mossberg 590 or Remington 870P. I’d also go for a sidearm using .45ACP or .40S&W.
And the machete.
Happy now?
