Talk:Zombieland

This movie looks promising-76.31.5.208 00:21, 24 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)

-woody's gun- Is likely a puma model 92 "bounty hunter" with a standard level installed. It is probably also in 45LC. This is backed up by 44-40 being a semi bottlenecked round, the ones in the movie all looked straight walled.

Good call, but unfortunately incorrect. Though very similar, the Puma has a longer barrel and longer stock. Tallahasse's gun is definitely a Mare's leg. I've carefully compared images of those guns and movie stills and it is not the Puma M-92 Bounty Hunter. But definitely a reasonable guess. MoviePropMaster2008 06:46, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I think a double barreled lever gun would be pretty cool-S&Wshooter 00:46, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

It's only cool if it works. So how would a lever action double barreled shotgun work? MoviePropMaster2008 03:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

The same way Bob Barker hasn't turned into dust: magic-S&Wshooter 20:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

google remington 1740 for a double barrel pump action.

The rounds form the MP7 are meant for penetration of body armor. wouldn't that be ineffectual against zombies?

It would be like shooting a person in the head with an AP round-S&Wshooter 01:26, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

I figure that an MP7A1 might be advantageous in a situation such as a zombie outbreak. From what I can remember, the 4.6mm rounds tumble when entering the body, thus increasing the trauma delivered to tissue. Additionally, figure that the recoil of the MP7A1 would be soft compared to a number of other automatic weapons, which would enable more rapid yet aimed semi-automatic fire. the weight of the weapon in conjunction with the balance of the weapon allow it to be used in one hand, albeit with drastically reduced accuracy, but the option is there. The high-capacity magazine is light enough that you could carry a number of them. from what I gather, the weapon is very reliable, and as it is quite likely that production facilities would be abandoned, replacement parts would be limited, thus reliability would be a valued commodity. The weapon has enough accuracy and range to hit a pretty small target at about 200 meters. The optics could be replaced depending on the situation at hand, due to the rail on the weapon. the only downsides that i could think of would be that ammunition and magazines would be limited, given that the round is unique for the weapon at this time.

good point

incidentally, i am in the process of making an informal zombie survival guide that i have been working on for over a year now. it is at 20 pages, and still growing, with almost 200 individual items that i would like to obtain in the wasteland should i somehow survive. W190009637

Or you could just use a .22 and buy Max Brook's "The Zombie Survival Guide"-S&Wshooter 06:06, 3 October 2009

Or buy yourself a gun that doesn't require you to stand directly in front of a zombie, say a 9mm or something, and discount the Zombie Survival Guide's firearm section entirely (Which contradicts itself on multiple occasions). - Anonymous

Hmm, depends on what kind of zombies you're dealing with. Since traditional zombies can only be killed by destruction of the brain, "stopping power" is rather irrelevant (all that's required is the necessary force to penetrate the skull and destroy the brain). The 'zombies' in Zombieland, on the other hand, are probably still alive, they're just mad cannibals because of the 'mutated mad cow disease' they're said to be infected with. If that's the case, they can probably be killed by the same wounds that would be fatal to normal humans (indeed, this seems to be the case) and so stopping power is still relevant.

Also, while Max Brooks' novels are entertaining (I really liked World War Z) I lost all respect for the advice on firearms in the ZSG when I read the passage that stated that the M16 is the worst assault rifle and the AK47 is the best. Okay, he didn't state that viewpoint as fact, but he went the weasel words route and wrote "many consider" that to be the case, which is almost as bad in my opinion, since anyone who is of that opinion is clearly ignorant. --MattyDienhoff 14:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Max Brooks knows jack shit about firearms and Military Equipment. Enough said.--Oliveira 15:05, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Max Brooks knows jack shit about anything, really. You want a good zombie killing combo? USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. Unless you have something retarded like a 20MM rifle.--Asmkillr323 20:06, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Real good point! This probably sounds very stereotypical but I'd probably use a shotgun for the good stopping power, the increased chance to hit a vital area with each shot, their relative ease of use, and shotguns along hunting rifles are the most available guns in my country (Denmark). In the event of a Zombie apocalypse I'd probable raid a hunting store for gear. If you've got a hunting license here you can get rifles and shotguns up to a max of 25. My grandpa has a .22 a .308 an O/U 12 gauge and a Maverick 88 12 gauge pumper.--T.H.M.Christensen 18:57, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

i have the max brooks book and he makes some serious errors in firearms. he says a good rifle is an M1 carbine. yeah maybe... if it were 1944. i would get an mp5, glock and SA80 mainly becausein britain they are standard firearms for police and armed forces

well, i have a spanish version of the book, and talks about pistols and revolvers like if they were the same, and for example a revolver can´t jam. Many revolvers are made for hunting, like the s&w 460 and 500 or a revolver in .454 casull. I mean, you can use a good pistol/revolver as a carabine. And finally i found hilarious too his way of describe the m1. He talks like if it were The Colt from supernatural!

Continuity error

I don't think that the two 1911s are a continuty error I think he just ran out of 9MM and had another back up pistol, Because it looked like he had more 1911 Magazines than Sig Sauer mags.

And you're basing this on what? The film never showed him with three guns. They only established him with two. If he did pull out a third handgun, it was not shown in the film. So that is purely a guess based on seeing more M1911 magazines than SIG ones, which he would need to have since the M1911 mags were single stack and the SIGs were double stack. MoviePropMaster2008 02:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Good point but you have to remember he has to fire more 9mm rounds to do the job of a .45acp jk.

why? this is not bleeding out. It's zombies. You just need to shoot them in the head. 9mm will do the job just as well as 45. All things are equal 9mm would be the better bet. Less recoil, more beans in the gun. In fact the 9mm does the job just as well in non-zombie related self defense shootings.

I think that the Sig is a full sized p226

New images

Are any of these bootlegs? I expect an answer from those members who uploaded them. The DVD is not out yet so anything NOT from the trailer. If I don't get a confirmation that they are not from bootleg, and this includes bit torrent downloads, then they will be Deleted. Only caps from the authorized DVD are allowed. MoviePropMaster2008 04:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I didn't upload them, but I know for a fact that the official DVD has not been released yet. It comes out 2/2/10 here in the US. That Norinco pick looks like it was played off a DVDrip/Torrent, and it needs to get the fuck outta here.--Asmkillr323 20:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. It's gone. MoviePropMaster2008 22:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88 shotgun?

Just a thought, is it possible that this could be a Maverick 88 rather than a Mossberg 500? They are both essentially the same weapons except the Mossberg has a top mounted safety on top of the receiver and the Maverick 88 has one mounted on the trigger guard. Taking a look at the 3rd picture, I'm not seeing a receiver mounted safety, also both of the guns are manufactured by the same company and use the same accessories. (Just a thought)

Whichita?

What is the little rifle used by Little Rock? -- Anonymous

It looks like a Winchester Model 1890 22 caliber pump action rifle, but it also looks new so it might be a Taurus Thunderbolt rifle. Which is a larger caliber version of the 1890. It was designed by John Browning. Here is a link to the Taurus version. --Jcordell 21:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

http://www.taurususa.com/Rifles.cfm?toggle=tf

According to the main page, it's a Taurus 62C, which actually seems to be a clone of a Winchester Model 62 that is it's namesake. http://homesteadfirearms.com/cart2/cartimages/product/323win62whole.jpg You're Taurus Thunderbolt seems to actually be a clone of a Colt Lightning rifle.

Talahasse's armoury

In the last showdown talahasse has somethig sheathed between the pair of shotguns on his back. ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT IS, COULD JUST BE A KNIFE OR MACHETE? Woops lent on caps there, sorry - Captain Snikt

Yes it's a machete. --Crazycrankle 23:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

It looks like the handle of the knife he was playing with when Columbus was on the crapper

Why does Tallahassee spray paint a 3 on every car he recieves? anyone know? im curious. i love this movie btw....Zulu Two Six

Some say it is the age of his Son, but in actual fact he does it in homage to Nas car racer Dale Earnhart as it his number - Captain snikt

little rock and whichita

has anyone else notice that these two only recieve their weapons after they join forces, as before they had to steal the double barrel and the mare's leg? and also we never actually see whichita fire more than eight rounds at once, but we also never see her reload. so this movie could be more accurate than many make it out to be. anon

Norinco

Doesn't the guy shooting the Norico look an awful lot like Nick from Left 4 Dead

Nah, that guy in the beginning of the film using the Norinco Type 84 looks nothing like Nick from L4D2. --ThatoneguyJosh 12:41, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Does this picture caption count as snarky/insulting commentary?

Tallahassee glares at Columbus for his unsafe gun handling after they kill two obese redneck zombies in a supermarket.

This comment is on the image where it shows Woody Harrelson's and Jesse Eisenberg's characters are in the supermarket. I just wanted to ask first if this comment counts as being snarky/insulting, and whether or not it should be removed. --ThatoneguyJosh 23:39, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Sounds fine to me, I don't see any reason to change it.--Mr-Jigsaw 00:08, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

That caption would be fine with me if Tallahassee actually was glaring at Columbus in the movie, but he wasn't. In the scene that still is taken from Tallahassee is momentarily looking past Columbus at the zombies he'd killed prior, he wasn't even looking at Columbus, let alone long enough for it considered to be "glaring". The caption misinterprets the scene in order to be snarky. I say remove it. --MattyDienhoff 06:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

The caption has now been changed to better suit what is going on in the double screenshot(?). --ThatoneguyJosh 03:12, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

BTW. You guys are right to alter the caption to better describe the scene. BUT.. remember this ... we ban snarky commentary about the ACTOR outside of the context of the film. BUT.... If a "CHARACTER" in the story is annoyed with another CHARACTER in the context of the story for unsafe gun handling or blinking or whatever, it's IN the movie, it's not being manufactured by the writer, so it stays. Don't confuse this with an IMFDB contributor being Snarky about an actor in a screenshot. They are two completely different things. MoviePropMaster2008 05:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
