i have several bows including two i made my self and a pistol cross bow in need of some repair. i never said this was an everyday carry weapon. i only posted this to rhino cause he so fervently doubts the power of rubber and i just felt like being a dick and proving it wrong. you might not carry this everywhere but it has its advantage. most zombie warfare will be siege type. you hold up somewhere and then have to keep zombies away. shooting from a third of higher story window with one of these. or from a rooftop. and theirs no proof that the distance he shot is the maximum its probably as far as he could do safely on his property. you know his driveway. I've seen other designs like this one go 50 yards and still be deadly and fro just long shots well over a hundred yards. bows and crossbows are great. but if and when they break it takes a great deal of skill to repair them. a good bow smith can and do spend months teaching the wood how to bend in just the right way. and they do half to teach it. fiberglass limbs on crossbows a certain modern bows do last longer but can also break when abused the way one would have to in a zombie situation. but you can knock out one of these in a day from a  few pieces of plywood and some rubber. and as for reload time considering your just stretching the rubber down and placing the projectile i cant imagine its much worse then a regular crossbow. maybe a little slower but not much. and smaller versions of this that shoot arrows are available hes made them bull ups are the best for that and he has many different versions satisfied. that big German brick shit house of a man is number three on my zombie survival crew must have list. right behind chuck Norris and iron man. and if he's not on yours then you better rewrite it.

Now if he came knocking, I wouldn't turn him away. But having to put my faith and life in the hands of rubberbands, No...Good old fashion blades, arrows and bullets will always take a higher stance then rubber...

   That's just the way I feel and a lot of others may feel that way...But if that's something you have faith in and willing to depend on it to save your life...More power too friend...I just won't be able to do that.

so many people think or rubber in the terms of those little office rubber bands that are shit. this rubber is nothing like that its designed to last. and slings and slingshots have been used as effective hunting and killing tools since before arrows were even shot. obviously their not the only thing nor should they be used as such but they do have they're place.

I do see where you are coming from..I could see them being used for boobie-traps around your compound. And I can see where one of these could come in handy launching balloons filled with mace or some form of pepper spray type of material. Hell, I could see using these to even launch infected body parts at invaders...

   

Maybe even using it to sling some homemade explosives, but as considering it as a major defensive aspect, I think I'll rely more on bullets....(LOL)

   But I do see your point as it could have a place...But as for being something I would rely on as a permanent weapon, I'm still doubtful in the effectiveness...But hey, if you think it's something you would want in your arsenal, have at it my friend...It's just not one of my must have weapons....

you can show me a thousand and one of his videos. i will NEVER put full stock in rubber bands of any kind. i still think you are money ahead to go with a good bow or crossbow and a butt load of arrows before going to the resort of a rubber based weapon of any kind. as much as i like the idea of the slingshot or sling bow. i would never recommend them as even a temporary fix just because rubber has a very high failure rate. and let it fail at the wrong time no matter how well versed in loading it. then your up shits creek without even a life jacket much less the boat and paddle. if i use rubber my friend. it will be to hunt for food. but i will rely on my guns, blades and clubs for the zombie kill.

you guys want practical application of rubber. even the Syrian rebels are using giant slingshots and these guys are living and fighting each day in the closes you could probably ever come to a zombie apocalypse. like in this video of them using a SLINGSHOT as an rpg.

or this one.

or this one

if this doesn't say zombie apocalypse

this shore as hell does

in the zpoc chances are more then good were gonna have to live like them making most of what we use. cause let me tell you as soon as the government declares martial law what do you think the army's gonna do. go around with a list and and goosestepping goons are gonna come to the house of anyone with a register gun and they will take it away from you. they've done it before in times on unrest and they will do it again. cause they don't want you defending yourself. they aren't their to protect you but the status quo. that means they don't want to deal with a bunch of armed vigilantes or nut jobs so they take away everyone's toys and as long as the majority have a chance they don't care about the rest of us. just like a dictator you take away private guns first. keep you scared and under control. maybe they'll get to you maybe they won't but I'd prefer to have the skills to make something else. i don't want to be dependent on a piece of something i can fix or recreate if something happens to it.

when it comes to the gooberment and its goon squad. there are ways around them for sure. things like burial tubes are a good start. this here is a good one. i got a few of these hidden around right near where only i know where they are at.

MONO-VAULT BURIAL TUBE

these puppies are air tight and water tight. and can keep your guns safe and dry for as long as you need them to be. i tested one of these myself. put 8 of my favorite toys in it for one whole year. not one speck of rust and fired like new out of the box. and that is one full year of rain, sleet, snow and general foul fucked up weather. and they were as good as the day i bought them. even the ammo stored with them. so with this being done. i bought 5 more and dispersed the rest of my toys where i know they are safe and sound.

then there are hidden wall compartments you can make if you dont feel like doing like i did. these have been in use since the first house was built.

things like this are so common place that even Al Capone was using them. and to this day, they still get outsmarted by them. and dogs? PPPFFFFTTTTT! please. things like coffee or ammonia can hide the smell of gun cleaners and solvents. they just sniff and walk away for the next item. seen this done with drug dogs on student lockers known for dealing drugs when i was in school. when it comes to coffee grounds. just cover your stash in them. and ammonia. use a thin layer of it on the surface of the item in question (i.e. the locker, locker floor, table and so on). works every time. and it wont screw with their sinuses because after 24 hours. the worst of the smell is gone. just a slight lingering scent is left behind. not so strong to be noticed. but strong enough to fool the dog. so you can still have your guns and ammo during martial law or times of a disaster like Hurricane Katrina when martial law was declared in New Orleans. you just need to think of what to do and when to do it. and things like bows and crossbows are not considered a threat by cops and military because they think them inferior to their weapons. especially melee weapons.

all thats stuffs fine but they know you have guns and what do you think they're gonna do when they show up to your house and can't find them. riding out the zombie invasion in some prison cell is not a great experience.

knowing you have and finding are two different horses my friend. they can hold all the paperwork they want to when it comes to gun registration forms and scream to god almighty "I KNOW YOU HAVE GUNS! GIVE EM UP!" until the heavens break and Jesus drops from the sky. until you hand them the guns. or for that matter FIND the guns after you told them you no longer have them for whatever reason. they cant take you in for no more then 24-48 hours tops. even under martial law. sure a z-poc could happen during that time frame. but an elephant can take a big shit on a Buick hood at the zoo to. but people still go. lol. my point is they cant take what they cant see or find. and when they get bored. like any other true vulture. they go away to find other bones to pick when they realize you wont just roll over and give in on command.

the 24 to 48 hour thing is only if they don't charge you. they can easily hit you with obstruction of justice impeding a police investigation and nay other crap that will keep you in a cage for days or weeks with the current snail like pace of the justice system now imagine that as zombies are spreading across the country. you may end up riding out the zpoc in a prison but it won't be your dream one. nope instead big Jim will be showing you his Vaseline collection while you both starve to death cause the guards all bailed.

now if you open the door when they knock. and if you dont get in the way when they go to search. and answer all their questions (just not honestly). then you are neither obstructing nor impeding their duties. and without concrete proof you still have them. the most they can hold you is 24 to 48 hours. all because they flash the forms you filled out in your face is no proof you still have them. all because they show me a form i filled out in 1990 at the age of 19 does not mean i didnt sell it for more then i payed for it later down the road. and i did that one many many times. so without the firearm being found after denying its being there and as long as you are cooperative. then they cant do much to you. from there, all you need do is watch your p's and q's and watchful all around you for surveillance so as to not fuck up and get caught. then when the SHTF. they will be way to busy to worry about you and what you may or may not have hidden. its that easy. i know. i been smuggling shit since i was a kid and do it still. i just use the law book to do it with is all. loopholes. wonderful little things. lol.
