It's easy to buy bread today than bake it myself-Yea I know lazy.

If I shall buy a .22 rifle I need permission from our Local police office.
Only weapon I can buy when above 18 years of age is an air rifle

What about Black Powder? Over here they're not even classified as a 'firearm' and can be purchased and shipped interstate without a license. Pedersoli in Italy produce some fine pieces and I've seen atleast one European Black powder shooting club on Youtube.

Ohh that's even more restricted.

Here it is not enough with a permission to handle black powder, you also need a paper on that you have gone a firework master training.

Since the huge firework explosion in 2003 the rules has been harder.

I use a slingshot to chase the cats out of the garden when they want to stare at my little furry darlings at the nut bar. The cats hardly come anymore, have had enough of me probably peppering their fails and backs. I absolutely like cats and usually do them no harm, but if they go after my squirrels I know no pardon. At those 18-20m shooting distance from 5 meters high, I am infallible with my slingshot.

An apocalyptic zombie is much bigger than a squirrel, he would have no chance.

Real strong slingshots with stabilizers are banned in Germany.

Thats too bad they punish you because someone you don't know fooked up. Over here I can get black powder almost as easily as a black powder pistol or rifle. Though when it comes to powder the retailers I've seen set limitations on how much can be purchased. And of course, IMO any suspect amount I'm sure would set me in the sights of law enforcement. During COVID I stocked up five pounds of Shutzen triple-F when things were seemingly scarce. I still have about 3.5 pounds left. I swear I'll never order that much again.

Fireworks on the other hand are even easier to get and are sold in grocery stores next to the beer aisle for those people getting ready for the upcoming 4th of July hootenanny.

I think Skybird's going to like this idea.

Rope made from bottles!

Well, first you have to have such a bottle. In Germany, bottles are far from being 100% plastic, we use plenty of glass bottles.

A cranky bird always finds a fly in the ointment.

You'll just have to bug out across a national border or two.

Pretty sure I'd be carrying a roll of Scott toilet paper into battle with me if that's all the Army gives you. Sheryl Crow must have given them advice on TP.

A blast from the past (and an extended spoon solo).

The Vomelet from 2008.

NO, Steve1989, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Defiantly not a nice hiss".

You just know he's going to try to eat some of it.

Plus, a blast from five year's past- Tasting the Boer War.

em2nought · 07-27-23, 10:09 AM

Boer War ration, just needs some tabasco.

em2nought · 08-08-23, 09:34 PM

Speaking of Boer War, I bet the white farmers in South Africa are prepping like hell. I'd be prepping to get "out". I now understand why Elon Musk is in a hurry to get to Mars. Watching a stadium full of people sing "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer" and everybody is ok with that.
