Prepared – The Ultimate Zombie Apocalypse Survival Shotgun
Bring em’ on…”Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me”.
I want to be on this guy’s team when all hell breaks loose. But what’s the doorstop/wedge for?
• two side saddles for quick reloading (and a total shotgun carrying capacity of 19 — the shotgun itself holds 7+1) containing cartridges with bird shot, 00 buck shot, slugs and signal flares.
• a 5″ bayonet knife mounted to the barrel
• a tactical flashlight/compass combo mounted to the barrel
• a hollow buttstock containing an emergency survival kit with baking pan, trash bag, fishing kit, 2 non-lubricated condoms (for water storage, NOT f***ing zombies), water purification taps, reflective survival blanket, a small first-aid kit, Carmex lip balm, a whistle, small Bic lighter and snare wire
• a hollow vertical grip containing a small fire-starting kit (matches, striker, steel wool, WetFire brand fire starting material)
• a hollow pistol grip containing a multi-tool
• a saw that can be attached between the buttstock and gun handle for cutting down wood
• a braided paracord gun sling
• American flag bandana
• custom plaque

Door stop wedges are even carried by firemen on their helmets, saves you from having to reopen a heavy door on exit or have a locking door close on you from the wrong direction.
In addition, in a defence scenario you could wedge a door to prevent entry by attackers. Not for long, but long enough to shoot them through the door or get a good headstart in a foot chase. Also useful in getting a front door kept open and having daylight in an otherwise closed-up building.
Rule 22: When in doubt, know your way out.
That is the dumbest bayonet I’ve ever seen. It’s mounted in a position that’ll likely never be useful. How would you stab something with that? You’re going to hit them with the barrel first. Even if you did mount it correctly, those large top serrations are going to increase the chances of getting that blade, with the attached gun, stuck inside the victim. Congrats, you no longer have your gun or knife.
I agree, it would have to be used mainly for slashing, it wouldn't be a useful killing weapon, just a deterrent. Although the knife looks removable so I think the focus is less on a bayonet function and more on a practical place to store a knife. A belt would be much easier but the whole point of this gun is that in an emergency you could just pick it up and run.
slashing zombies is no good, you have to stab them through the eye to penetrate the brain, twist, withdraw and then stab the other eye to maximise brain damage, dont bother aiming for the neck if youre thinking of severing the spinal cord, the type of knife used is also not good, it needs to be a double edged type
the maker of this gun is a zombie newb, hed be dead in under 3 zombies
With that much ammo? Good luck getting within knife range, 3 zombies.
right! and when he has to fire multiple shots with no recoil gas/ pad that guns gunna kick his ass
Dude, you're looking into it way too much, and if you didn't notice, the bayonet is adjustable via screws on the barrel of the shotgun.
you don't stab when the knife is mounted has anyone noticed you can swing it like a bat and beat someone over the head??????? blunt +sharp= better head trauma
"Better head trauma"…Love it!
You can change the positon of the bayonet…. you can unscrew it and re position it.
Something that I find extremely valuable is tool-less take down.
I see no reason to carry 4 different sizes of allen key, it’s just extra to go missing later.
Also, I see there is a TacStar side saddle on the receiver, which I can say is not the best side saddle available, but it is the most common. The issue is if you happen to over tighten the screws that double as the receiver pins, you can strip the metal plate.
While the saw blade is an interesting idea, a better one would be a wire saw. You can cut a whole tree down instead of a 3 inch sapling, and it lasts longer than most commercial blades.
I bet that weapon weighs an impractical amount.
Dumbest thing I've ever seen. LOL.
There’s an awful lot wrong with this, but before we miss the forest for the trees, the biggest problem with this being a “zombie” gun is that it’s a SHOTGUN. Compared to a rifle the ammo is huge and heavy, magazine capacity is dwarfed by most handguns, and compared to both it has the slowest reload and fire rate.
The bayonet has already been mentioned. That silly little thing is actually made for handguns. Even if it were mounted far enough forward to, you know actually work, the cheap plastic mechanism in the handle that attaches it to the rail would rip right off if it were actually used on something as long as that.
The compass is garbage and in order to use that one where it’s mounted you would have to put your gun, barrel first, into the ground, then squat or sit next to it while trying to hold it perfectly level, then best of luck keeping it that way while maneuvering yourself close enough to read the tiny compass.
As was also previously mentioned, there is nothing that saw setup will cut that a chain/rope saw won’t. Also, that flat blade is attached to sling mounts that are screwed into a hollow plastic stock and grip. If that saw is ever used, it will break the stock and/or grip. Once that happens, every shot fired will only damage it further, until the whole setup has become unusable.
It is also generally bad practice to store strike anywhere matches loose in a small compartment with steel wool and wet fire tinder. Sure once it’s closed and airtight nothing can happen but you have to pack and unpack then repack after every use, tempting the fire gods every time.
The flashlight is mounted too far forward to access without taking a hand off the shotgun. Lights go out suddenly? Good luck keeping that monster steady with one hand while reaching for the light.
Then there’s the braided paracord sling. This braided paracord thing has really caught on and in every other incarnation I’ve seen is actually a great idea. Here’s the problem with the sling: once you find a need for that cordage, and you will find many, you have now lost your sling. Doesn’t sound like a big deal? Try walking through the woods with your hands full.
Finally, not a single provision has been made for the maintenance, cleaning, or repair of the gun itself.
No longer the “ultimate”…Keltec KSG, a dual magazine bullpup 12 gauge with 14+1 ammo and integral rail system…
AA-12. That is all.
the door stops are there to seal of things like the bottom of the grip, the added weight is only 2-3 pounds, look at that stuff none of it is big or heavy. the knife isn't intended to be used while attached to the shotgun but it can be and it means you don't have to carry it on your person. also, this is for survival not for offense or hunting, the way this is set up is intended to cover as many bases as possible without having to grab a ton of stuff or to put it all together. here is the original blog post. http://artofmanliness.com/2011/07/11/how-to-make-…
lmao, id use the condoms to fuck the zombies
be sure to have it unloaded when ur choppin down tree's lol
The stupidest thing I've ever seen. Carry a normal shotgun and put all that shit in a back pack. BTW nice bayonet LOL. clueless.
the damn thing's too long, in my opinion. with a gun that long, it's hard to maneuver in closed in spaces like hallways and very dense forests, not to mention that it offsets the balance. Also, the bayonet is too short to be of any use, the gun barrel goes past where the knife is. As for all the stuff you can store in it, you can store even more in a backpack. Although I do like the plaque.
Trust me, he'll be the first to die when the zombies come. Either because his goofy weapon breaks or he gets owned before he fires a single shot. Nothing beats the simplicity of a semi automatic benelli. This strange abomination of a weapon would be worthless in a fight.
It is a badly designed weapon for zombies, but I would love one for the sheer WTFness.
Shotguns are not good zombie apocalypse survival weapons.
-takes ages to reload
-requires a lot of reloading since they hold what? 7-12 rounds max.
-has very limited range, and you don't want to have to get too close to zombies when it takes you ages to reload.
so… no shotguns unless automatic ones, with 20-round mags like Saiga 12, AA12, USAS 12,…
revolvers are also shit (see first 2 reasons)
dang… humanity is doomed considering the imminent zombie apocalypse…
I think it's more important to be flexible and know where and how to use a number of supplies and tools to compliment the situation. While I wouldn't want a shotgun for killing a zombie necessarily you have to realize that's just one of the dangers in a world that would include such beasts. I'd say I'd trust a shotgun as a hold out weapon for raiders and hunting since I doubt we'd all still be chilling at walmarts buying food and supplies. Two I think to many of us think we'd survive just because we are a little more prepared than others. We'll see how good that does everyone when the entire population is in a panic. Human nature would definitely kill us before the zombies, or at least it wouldn't help.
as long as you can run long and fast, you can outlive the zombie outbreak.
i like all the supplies its a amazing idea but i disagree with weapon choice a shotgun would put you too close to the zombie threat, but i guess the shotgun would be still useful for defensive tactics. ^_^ *thumbs up*
How far away do you expect to be? A shotgun is plenty effective out to 30 or more yards, and most people don't realize how far that is: 100 feet, which is not a short distance, especially in an urban environment. Heck, at that distance you stand a fair chance of simply escaping on foot. I would think most zombie encounters would be defensive in nature. But, if you've barricaded yourself on a hill or rooftop and plan on wiping out a large number of zombies, by all means, use a rifle. I'd take a lightweight shotgun with buckshot as the most effective weapon to help me escape danger while on the move, however, because it would absolutely increase my chances of lodging a metal ball inside a zombie's skull by a large margin. You ever try to shoot clay pigeons with a .22? It's not easy. With a shotgun? It's second nature.
I've got a better idea get an AA-12 and Bear Grylls
bear gryllis is a hack and a phony, watch survivor man, he is the real deal
sweet bayonnet. next task is to have it protrude in front of the muzzle, so you can actually stab something with it.
yeah, brilliant. my biggest problem with this is that zombies DON'T FUCKING EXIST!
Compass on a metal weapon….. Ummmm ya, good luck walking in circles.
Why are you all so obsessed with zombies? They don't exist!
why the fuck do you need chapstick in a zombie apocalypse?
you guys are really dumb
you all want to be rambo and go guns blazing and gungho, well let me tell you, once your ammo runs out i’d love to see your faces
melee weapons wont be too useful
getting up and close with a melee weapon is dangerous as well, because it could either bite you, or when you stab it, its blood splashes in your face, and voila your infected
be smart, use your wits, zombies are still humans, mindless humans at that
realistically speaking if zombies just go and munch on the nearest moving creature, then its most likely that they will eat each other
if in such event that they do go in hordes and eat anyone thats not a zombie like in the movies then garisson and fortify your home or bunker and make sure your supplies will last at least a month
because most of the zombies eat flesh, and since zombies are humans then they would need to drink water, but zombies dont drink water
so my advice wait it out for a month or 2, by that time im pretty positive that the military had already slaughtered the infected
if not then survive, regroup, and rebuild, but i highly doubt that the military would fail
im more worried about the virus getting into the water, than the actual outbreak itself
The survival kit isn't a bad idea, but I've got all that PLUS food, water, and extra ammo in a "bug-out" bag. As for the guy who mentioned the Saiga, have you ever priced those? A lot of us don't have that kind of money to invest in a simple scattergun. I LOVE THE PLAQUE! (Where can I get one?) The knife/bayonet is useless ( I'd carry a good ole Kabar strapped to my leg). The saw is ridiculous. As someone said, a wire saw would be lighter and more practical. Never thought about the doorstops/wedges; good idea.
In short; I'll probably be checking into this further.
What a bunch of nitpickers. The "bayonet" is not meant to be used as such, its just poorly labeled. Its just a detachable survival knife put there to "look cool." The compass is part of the flashlight, to use it you'd probably detach it. He chose a shotgun because its multipurpose and common – it can be used for hunting, self defense, and to fire off signal flares. The ammo would be easier to replenish also because it is common. Sure it probably isn't the perfect weapo, but lighten up. Its a cool little side project done for entertainment purposes. Some people have no sense of humor! Quit trying to prove how much smarter you are than everyone else and just enjoy the post!
I am a zombie and I have an STD, you start to fuck me, but you are too fucking busy using condoms for water to use them on your dick, well now you have a zombie STD. GOOD JOB dickhole.
Are you guys so retarded as to not understand that the "Zombie Apocalypse" is a sort of metaphor for all the things that WILL go wrong? Grid fails, war, major geological catastrophe, etc. So, yeah… Zombies may not be hopping out of their graves anytime soon, but the world is going to go to shit. Guaranteed…
I am now dumber for looking at this… but the comments are the shit. Zombies are the Balls!! And incredibly real! Look out sinners!!!!!
Rediculous… Ak-47(durable, reliable, high rate of fire,serious stopping power,can be made compact and has decent accuracy). I would include a 9 mil side arm of some sort simply because of ammunition availability and ease of use. and how hard would it be to have a back pack to keep all your shit in? If you lose that shotgun you are fucked.
