Zombie Survival Guide - SHTF: 9mm Carbines

Another one of my Zombie survival tools the Ruger PC9 carbine. If you have the chance to buy a Ruger PC9 or PC40 carbine DO IT! Pistol caliber carbines make alot of sense to those who carry a 9mm or .40 caliber sidearm. With this setup I can slam in a mag from my Berreta 92FS or a mag from the Ruger P95 into the carbine and continue the fight. I had to drill a hole in the center of the berreta mags so they will lock into the PC9. They feed and extract perfectly as you can see in the video. The first mag is a Berreta mag. Zombies Beware! 147 grns of Hollowpoint hurt will traveling at 1,400 FPS will ruin your day!

what do you think of the HI-point carbine 9mm 40 or 45acp?

[shoktroop]

@jameswrwice Not the prettiest girl at the bar... But they run and run. I had a very old high point 9mm carbine and that thing ran forever. Almost to the point to where I was wishing it would break. Wife put me on the "get rid of a gun and you can get a gun" program. :/ And nobody would ever buy that ugly thing so I was stuck with it. It never broke I sold it for 150 bucks. So they are very durable fire well and eject well. I had no weapon related problems from that carbine.

I really liked the vid, but wanted some background on the velocities or I wouldnt have said anything. I was talking about factory ammo, not reloads. Thats an area that I dont know much on, as I dont do it myself.

Im glad for the quick response, as I have been wondering about such a high velocity out of the 9mm, even out of a carbine. But if you are using hot hand loads, that would make more sense. A 147gr bullet going 1400fps is as fast as it can go, given the powder capacity.

@freehling420 Not exactly sure what your wanting but I will try to give you something :) Depending on the company/bullet type and weight/case, powder, primer/weather, barrel twist and length your going to get a WIDE area in FPS. Take Federal bulk 9mm rated at 1180 fps. I get around 1210 on average out of that round on a cool day. Summer I get about 1240-50 average from the carbine. The box fps is a guide not the law. Rifles can potentialy get about 25-50 fps increas every few inches of length.

I love the premise and the purpose of this video. But Ive never seen any 9mm bullet travel over 1475fps out of a pistol (corbon 100gr powerball), and out of a rifle it would be lucky to hit 1600. As far as a 9mm 147gr bullet going 1400fps, Id have to see it to believe it. You just dont get that kind of velocity jump out of a rifle over a pistol, in auto pistol calibers. They simply cant hold the amount of powder it takes to do that. Please someone prove me wrong.

Otherwise, good vid.

@freehling420 I have a chronograph and have done the research. The faster reloaded bullets I have chrono'd at around 1550 give or take. I used to show all my data but even then after showing the data people would doubt the machine or bla bla bla. I no longer go out to "prove" my information. Those who know me know I do not lie or make up data. You can get close to 1600 fps out of a 9mm round comming out of this rifle because I have done it. average with factory ammo is around 1350-1425 fps

You know what i got for a zombie apocalypse? a 30 inch double bladed machete with a high carbon heat treated tg-10 steel blade sharpened to razor edges. Bring it zombies.

[shoktroop]

@marineninga Yes your right. I already have a supply of MRE style food and just over 100 gallons of water stored, propane, gas & medical supplies. The sad part is. That in a disaster those people who DID NOT PREPARE will be coming after those who did! Just like in Katrina. FEMA will help some/most people maybe. But I plan on staying & defending my home/family. In a "zombie" apocolypse you will need to know how to defend yourself with a firearm, be trained in emergency first aid and survival.

@newdude32 yeah, but i can carry a gun and a machete and take them out far beyond biting range

When I was living in SO Cal 2004, I looked at one at Turners Outdoorsman. I can't believe they stopped making those. Nice rifle bro! Great Shooting!

@Elgastonable its just something fun to talk about....

[redmule02]

@shoktroop just stopped by to say hey i see your still having to explain thing further in depth then you have to lol take care
