All I need is my machete and the AA-12. It'll quickly become the Beast Apocalypse.

I think its a pretty dumb idea.
Shotgun limits your range of attack and is ineffective. also limits the amount of ammo.
Carrying all your supplies tied into a weapon is stupid (whats the first thing someone will take from you?)
Carrying a compas on a recoil driven system??? why not just bang your compass on a rock 2 times a day and see how long it works.
Why the hell would you attach a knife that you cannot use as a lance/bayonet onto the barrel. - Wait, Imma gonna cut you just as soon as I disconnet this knife from my gun you sonnamabitch you.
This just screams internet tough guy.

Are you sure you'll have enough ammo to survive?
They jump quite high, those zombies, you know? They've got superpowers now too, with long slithering tongues.
And when thirty or so surround you, even a machete and the most powerful shotgun in the world can't save you.

LouDog-
If you read his article on the link I didn't think he was trying to come off as an internet tough guy. You do make a couple valid points though.
I do not see a problem with carrying supplies in one weapon. Why spread everything out and possibly forget where something is if you are forced to abandon your area in a rush. Also I am sure a weapon similar to the AR-15 would be a very suitable replacement. (better in my opinion)

While they may be able to jump quite high, I'm like a mix of the Hulk, Deadpool, Beast, and Superman. If thirty of them surround me, then there will be exactly 180 scattered body parts littering the ground.

The stock Mossberg shotgun does not have picatinny mounts, so I purchased a barrel mount picatinny rail unit.
Excuse my ignorance but what is a picatinny mount?
Also this cannot be used to keep distance and stab something (bayonet) due to of course the under mounted knife.
So you going to hack someone with it? Or is a quick release?

A failure at trying to look badass. That is what it is.

hahahahahaahahahahaha
Also the length of the weapon is pretty much a problem in my opinion also, in a field no problem, in a house serious limit on movement.

From Wiki
"The Picatinny rail (pronounced /�?p�ªk�?t�ªni/ or /�?p�ªk�?�?t�ªni/) or MIL-STD-1913 rail or STANAG 2324 rail or a "Tactical Rail" is a bracket used on some firearms in order to provide a standardized mounting platform. A similar system is the Weaver rail mount.
Its name comes from the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, USA where it was originally tested and was used to distinguish it from other rail standards at the time. The rail comprises a series of ridges with a T-shaped cross-section interspersed with flat "spacing slots". Scopes are mounted either by sliding them on from one end or the other; by means of a weaver mount which is clamped to the rail with bolts, thumbscrews or levers; or onto the slots between the raised sections.
Recently, NATO nations have finalised plans for a new NATO Accessory Rail which is backwards-compatible with (and could replace) the Picatinny rail."
________________________________
I'm guessing the Ka-Bar he's mounted on it turns and pops off the slot raised section in that picture. No use whatsoever for stabbing and slashing, let's be honest, but at a push I guess he could fire and then reach quickly for the knife for close combat.
That's all pie in the sky theory however and probably fails miserably when fine motor skills come in to play and you're trying to remove a knife from a barrel quickly enough to stab someone in the chest before you get your shotty taken from you. Better off just shooting them =P

that mossberg is pretty sick. Looks like the one my buddy had that was his breaching shotgun (minus the knife)
putting a pistol grip and a forward grip on a shotgun plus the rail system makes a bad ass looking weapon. You need the pressure pad for the light though... no one wants to have to click their light off and on. LAME

I have to agree with the AA 12. After seeing it on YouTube by a guy called FPSRussia, I wish I could get one. Ammo could go pretty quick for that gun.
I think a .22 with a large drum mag would do well. With head shots .22 just bounce around in the skull turning brains into mush. Low recoil and pretty accurate up to 300 yards.

LOL, nice!
i would argue the practicality of a shotgun in a zombie apocalypse scenarion. It would be a very good weapon IMO and its versatility would help with hunting for food (you arent going to be shooting any birds with an assault rifle) as well as zombie killing
I wouldnt want to put ALL my survival supplies into one weapon, in case you lost it somehow, but that was what he was going for. He was building a "survival pack" but was including that into the weapon. I understand that gimmick.

They do make pistols with Shot but it wouldn't do you anygood. First I'm assuming this isn't a real zombie issue and more SHTF real world type stuff. If so then I can see a shotgun as an add on but not a primary. If really zombies, then would you really eat dead meat? Wouldn't that expose you to the zombie infection. We'd all have to go vegie like Jacehc (sp - apologies) and wouldn't you rather kill yourself first?

^^I didnt mean for shooting zombies and eating them... I meant for shooting ducks, turkeys, quail, deer, pig, rabbit ect... That sort of thing.
A shotgun would probably be your best all around hunting weapon as far hunting for food AND needing a weapon for self defense. You wouldnt need to be nearly as accurate to get a kill shot on a zombie with a shotty as you would with an AR.
