# Zombie Gun Contest

![](<https://www.outdoorlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/23/5DF2C6WIDMZQPOCH2ET6MK5TBU.jpg>)

When it comes to zombie guns there's no middle ground. You either love 'em or hate 'em. And because I hate zombies, I love zombie guns. My top choice in a rifle for battling the undead is this AR from Lauer Custom Weaponry that includes an arrow launcher attached to the bottom rail and a blood-splattered DuraCoat finish. For a shotgun, I have a modified 870 with an extended magazine tube, adjustable Knoxx buttstock and a Surefire weapon light, and on my hip I carry a hi-cap .45 1911 from Para--the company's Super Hawg model.

You can see more of these guns [here](</photos/gallery/survival/2010/03/surviving-undead-zombie-guns/>) along with write-ups on each.

In the spirit of competition, we're asking for pictures of your zombie fighters. Send them to [outdoorlife.contest@gmail.com](<mailto:outdoorlife.contest@gmail.com>) and you might win a flashlight from Surefire--a handy tool you're going to want during the next zombie invasion.

Don't have a zombie fighting gun? No problem. Tell us what your ultimate zombie fighting guns are and post them in the comments below and you might still win a prize. The contest goes until Wednesday, March 31st.
