This will mean widespread looting and home invasions. Naturally, many of us have plenty of conventional small arms, but firepower is a little lacking.
I therefore found a rare, but effective device. It was originally invented in Rhodesia and migrated south after majority rule up there and was manufactured in SA and I believe some found their way to the US.
It takes 12 , twelve gauge shotgun rounds and I now have it loaded with 000 Zombie rounds by Hornady.

The Son Tay guys used the same things that I was using and they were "Single Point"s, from I believe Sweden. When I got home and out of the Army, I wanted to get one of these, but due to the "Radioactive" components inside of them, they were not available CONUS!!!
I did carry one of these on a CAR-15 on a few missions, but my ability to use the "Quick-Kill" thechniques that we had been taught, made it be just "added weight"!!
Later.

Quick Kill training brings a smile. It seems that a certain SDS SGT Hunt got shot in the butt with a BB. It's still a mystery as to who would do such a thing.

Thanks Brancholi, maybe we will have to move to Dar. I used to have a room at the Royal Palm open for me, but the owner left for greener pastures, well less green actually, Oman.

What? The same SGT Hunt that later became known as LTC Hunt, or rather ole BB butt?

I hope so. He was a great guy! It would be nice to know that I, er, I mean one of us, gave him his nickname.

I went to the range today, and was pleasantly surprised.
Firstly, the Protecta was very manageable and well balanced when fully loaded.
Shooting it was a pleasure. I was using SSG crowd control shells, so they were full powered but the recoil was completely acceptable. My usual rifle is the .375 H&H and this kicked appreciably less.
Accuracy with the un=powered red dot optic was fine over 30 yds. I didn't try any further than that.
I was surprised to find that the gun auto ejected the spent round on re-cocking, so reloading is much quicker than anticipated.
Shot spread at 30 yds looks like about 24 inches. It has quite a short barrel and I suspect that has something to do with its gentle recoil.
What I didn't like was its trigger action. It has a looooong pull and then goes off without any warning. I am sure I will get used to it, but after a rifle, it is a big adaption.
