Realistic or Modern Zombie Apocalypse

[Archangel Emerz]

I'm typing on my phone so please bare with me.
I seriously wouldn't do it even then, especially if undead are the enemy. It's practically impossible to shoot those famed things like that. The only way it might work, is if it's within ten paces of a living target. Even the best wouldn't be able to pull off headshots.


As far as using it as a back up gun.....unless you don't need more than just a few extra shots I wouldn't go for it either. I understand 100 percent that there is no faster reload than a second weapon.....but there are a few things you need to remember. You won't be able to get rid of that first gun very quickly. Most speed holsters are only meant to be quick on the draw and sacrifice reloading entire. Hell all semi auto holsters are more or less like that. Now add on the fact you increase the length of the gun drastically with a silencer and that all of your focus will be on using the second pistol. Getting rid of the gun will be practically impossible without dropping it. Why is this important? Because wont be able to reload either if both hand are full.


But let's go more in depth. 1911's can only be carried with around in the chamber if the hammer is cocked. They are a single action pistol (I hope you know what that term means.) This


Basically means that one jolt could break the sear engagement and cause the damned thing to fire (While common, it does happen and don't count on the safeties helping this.) Chances are you will be doing a lot of running and jumping in a zombie apocalypse, so it's not the best way to carry it. The safest way would to be without a round in the chamber. Meaning you have to rack the slide in order to get it to fire. You can't rack it with another gun in another hand. Also the guns are built only for right side shooters. So you could work the mag release either. Plus


You would also be trying to use your weak hand unsupported at the most critical moment. Trust me when I say it won't work.


there is a lot more I could go on about and touch on but can't since I'm away from a proper keyboard. The point I'm makeing, you have the wrong setup. In your situation, just go for the mag reload. It literally takes 2 seconds (for me at least. I barely even practice that discipline.) Trying for a second gun (especially a 1911) would just over complicate things. If you still want to go that route try a double action pistol or revolver. Even then I'd still say no. The absolute best way would to just have a good tactical rig with several mags.


The reason I am getting into this is because for the most part were keeping to te realm of realism. We don't just want 20 doctors or tactical experts running around. This isn't a simple RP. We don't want the sole purpose of the RP being let's just go kill a bunch of crap. If you want your character to be an expert with firearms, then you should no a good deal about how to actually use them so it fits. If you don't know what you are doing then you shouldn't reall build a character around that.


@Archangel Emerz


For evryone here, I recommend watching some of the following video. This man, Jerry Miculek, is at the top of the shooting worlds a list. Watch how he works, look at his techniques.

"It's not about the odds, it's about the stake." I see some of your points but remember I'm talking about what if scenario, not mention but I'm guessing that their might, key word MIGHT, be a group of survivors that may try to attack us, so therefore a few of my points will be made. Secondly, I know about 1911 being singe bolt action, however you are assuming that I always run and jump in the zombie apocalypse, which is not the case. If I'm in this rp, I always go sneaking while carrying only one of the 1911 while I'm on a scavenging run. I only use two 1911 of I'm moving somewhere, or I'm planning an attack I'll carry these two in my hands. Remember that I'm not really always on the move I have a cabin, I'm not really always carrying the 1911s. I usually set them on a safe case when I'm home. Plus the weapons will most likely change, the reason I state these weapon on the character sheet is because the character I build just so happened to current have those two guns.

I swear Miyuki was in a impossible situation. Sorry I had to go a bit unrealistic to pick up Holliday and everything.

Er. I assumed she'd have to wait for Jenn and Tammy (Or Austin if need be.), cause unless I'm mistaken Miyuki and Holliday are on the third floor aren't they? She wouldn't be able to get him down those stairs without...killing him. xD


Edit: Didn't see you mention the stairs though...I don't believe there's a way that a hospital bed could be pushed down stairs without a lot of force and it ending up flipping, those things aren't exactly light or majestic.


And Austin and Tori haven't arrived at the meetup spot yet.

Oh sorry. I will change it tomorrow if you would like. I figured on doing it as tammy and jen are arguing about the pills amd that they would have to get them back as that is top priority. The stairs well.....i see no way for the elevators to work so ya.....sorry

It's fine, no need to apologize. :3 Your the owner after all so technically you can get away with as much as you want, haha. I just sort of wanted to point that out and such.


If you did want to edit though you could always have her get him in the bed and wheel him to the stairs, then get on the walkie again to say that she can't get him down on her own. And if Jenn and Tammy are too busy I can have Austin wheel Tori to the stairwell and run up them to help Miyuki get Holliday down. But I'm down for whatever everyone wants to do.


I'm waiting on Lola to PM me back to make sure she was alright with my post honestly, and asking how she wanted to proceed if she was.

 

[Lola Shimmer]

I should post O.o

 

[Lola Shimmer]

GOT has me hella messed up right now!!!

 

[Crono]

[QUOTE="Jennifer Shotain]Guys! GUYS!!!! AUSTIN IS CAPABLE OF SMILING AND BEING NICE!!!!! Look! This is a big step for our grumpy old man.

[/QUOTE]
Pfff.


He did the same thing with Jenn on the table. xD


It's practically natural instinct from being a firefighter for years.


Keep them calm, keep them alive, and keep them as comfortable as possible if these are their last moments.

 

[tammynorthland]

Hey so @Tombstone and @Jennifer Shotain both agree we could get this arch done in like 10 more posts. I can rendezvous with the front entrance one sentence could flow to get the survivors inside then drive to the campsite. 1 post each of us to get there. Lol then.....we kinda rife off in the sunset sorta shit?

 

[tammynorthland]

@KathleneWilliams2121 I just love how we are all godmod ding a tiny bit and kat made her favorite bitch slam the breaks xD tammys such a woman driver. Hahahhahaa

 

[Crono]

So did they get out with only the pills and such or did anyone actually grab medical supplies?

 

[tammynorthland]

Not true tammy found a surgeon kit inside a car a while back. Its in the bed of tombstones truck

 

[tammynorthland]

So is everyone pretty much ready for the timeskip? Who wants to make the "closing post?"

Im giving people their chances to post theirnlast posts before the skip.

 

[tammynorthland]

Swwweeeeetttttt wise REEEADDDFYYY

 

[KathleneWilliams2121]

Alright I looked at the votes and heres what stands,


1. Because it was split between 2 months and 4 months i say we skip 3 that way we can have winter but it wont be too long. So we will time skip to January or February


2. Looks like we are heading east south as the votes are split. We can go with Jen's idea of Pennsylvania in the time skip.


3. Looks like our voting still stands where Austin is second in command and Holiday is our leader.

 

[tammynorthland]

Question? Is east west possible?


Pennsylvania I'm 100 percent ok with


3 months is fine. Not a perfect time gap but it's probably not gonna hurt to bad and it'll be interesting in the snow.


Holliday might get my vote now... I just feel like it makes sense. Not really be a leader moreso like watches everyone for the better being of the group

FAIL I meant east south................

 

[tammynorthland]

Ok perfect

 

[tammynorthland]

As long as we don't get to walking dead location. Imagine our rp we encounter Rick and the survivors

 

[Crono]

We'd either be executed or welcomed into the fold. Take your pick. xD


(Honestly that sounds like an interesting Rp idea and dynamic. Rping as OC's from inside/or around the Comic/Show's group.)


Also I'm good and don't need to make a final post unless someone wants me to or wants interaction with Austin before the skip. :]

 

[tammynorthland]

So


@Lola Shimmer is ready


@Tombstone is ready


I'm ready


@Crono is ready


@Jennifer Shotain is ready


Waiting on a couple peeps?

 

[Dozeji]

Iiiii'm ready to see the outcome... not to join yet.... :|

 

[tammynorthland]

@JJKab your not joining the rp?

 

[Dozeji]

@tammynorthland No No, I meant I didn't know if after the timeskip you were accepting... You saw me bump this thread multiple times, that's how hyped I am!
