Photo Contest: Your Signature Apocalypse Weaponry

For the month of October, we want to celebrate monster season and the return of the Walking Dead by looking at your go-to weapons for the apocalypse/zombies rising or Commie-Nazi invading. When things hit the fan, what will be the weapons you grab to fight off the hordes of cannibal bikers? Mow down legions of undead? Fend off invading aliens?

Need an example?


Daryl Dixon on the Walking Dead is rarely without his trademark crossbow, a Horton Scout. He keeps a Busse Combat Team Gemini on his belt for up-close-and-personal zombie work, too.

Rick has his Colt Python and a Gerber folder. Shane had his Mossberg 590 and a Glock 17.

You get the idea, ya?

So, we want to see your personal selections for the end of the world as we know it - one picture and a short description of the weaponry. Methods of carry (sheaths, holsters, slings, etc.), rigs and armor would make good inclusions, too.

This is a photo contest, not about who has the most expensive stuff or who made the "best" tactical choices. We're looking at creativity, uniqueness, style, photo quality and cool factor.

One stipulation: it's got to be a reasonable amount of stuff that one person could carry, not the entire contents of your gun safe and knife drawer. No wheelbarrows full of assault rifles - sorry.

Why?
We wanted to do a fun reader contest for October, celebrating the return of the Walking Dead, zombie season, and our favorite firearms/knives/other implements of monster slaying. Reader appreciation and all that good stuff.

What's up for grabs?
We're going to have a first and second place winner. Here's the current prize line up - may be able to add some more fun stuff into the mix:

First Place: A set of (really cool!) custom zombie-camo AR-15 furniture from Choate Machine & Tool, a first aid kit from Red Dirt Gun Shop & Stock Works, a Synapse backpack from Tom Bihn and a pocket survival kit, custom designed by me!

Second Place: A pocket survival kit, custom designed by me!

Stay tuned for pictures and potential additions to the contest.
