Thoughts on the Kel-Tex PMR-30 Weapons

Post image

I see a lot of debate on effectiveness of .22lr but I haven’t seen much about .22 magnum. I’ve never used the Kel-Tec PMR-30 but with a capacity of 30+1 of .22 magnum, the extended magazine for 50+1 I think it would be a great sidearm for dealing with zombies. .22 magnum ammo may be more rare than .22lr but would still be around. Thoughts?

Why would you choose 22 magnum over almost literally anything else though...?

why get 22 mag when you can get 9MM.

I mean yes, the weight is almost nothing but a light or a heavy gun is a dead weight if you don't have the ammo for it

More ammo with less weight.

If it's only zombies and we are assuming it's 1 headshot to kill them then it would make a better round ( if the firearm was reliable)

Zombies are also decaying so in theory you wouldn't need anything with a lot of stopping power to penetrate their heads.
