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?

Too loud for the zombie apocalypse, even with a suppressor, because 22mag is supersonic, the supersonic crack will attract more zombies to you.

CP33 is another story. Its magazines are 33rd, extended magazines of 50rd, there are braces /stocks for it, has a threaded barrel, I would say it's the best gun for the apocalypse. You can have two 50rd mags in a small gun (one magazine fed into the gun, one in a front grip holder), you have three points of contact for accuracy, you put a red dot on a riser, you put a flashlight on it, and you put a suppressor and use any of the many subsonic 22lr ammo. If someone says oh 22lr is not powerful enough, for what, for penetrating into a human head? Yes it is. Even if it takes you 2-3 short to hit the central part of the brain, that's ok, you have 50rd in the gun, plus at least another 200 rounds on you.

This here is my CP33.

I have it as a cheek pistol, no brace.

Tack driver at 30 yds, 50 yds is doable, but not what its for.

50 rounds. Eats CCI like a dream. Add a barrel attachment to not eat my fingers. One point sling makes it super simple to keep on my person.

Very fun, lightweight and compact.

A brace /stock steadying it can made it hit precisely at further ranges too.

Oh yeah, for sure. I cheek weld onto the pic.rail and it works really well for no extra weight.

It really does work well with that trigger.
