Hello everyone, just found this site today while looking for Enfield rifle info for a friend from another board! Star Happy to be here.

I didn't do this myself, I purchased the rifle this way from a shop in Tampa. I paid pennies for it too.

I have used this in a few films as well, which is why it has the OD sling on there. It's been on duty as a zombie killer for a while now.Wink








Thanks for all the fish!

Why bother using shotguns or M16's on the zombies when you can have the mighty 303!

And here is the perfect ammo:
        

The 'dum-dum' was a British military bullet developed for use in India - at the Dum-Dum Arsenal - on the North West Frontier in the late 1890s.

The dum-dum comprised a jacketed .303 bullet with the jacket nose open to expose its lead core.  The aim was to improve the bullet's effectiveness by increasing its expansion upon impact

Talk about getting'er doneStar

Before anybody gets ideas about making their own you cut the point off a fmj and there's a chance you'll leave the jacket in the barrel and screw your rifle up. Ask Dave a lot of Aussies tried it and buggered up their barrels.

It was meant to be a joke. Meaning that dum dums would be the perfect zombie ammo (dum dum=brain dead zombie). Get it?

G'Day & welcome to the mad House ! In my very misspent youth! We used to take,MKV11 ammo & cut the first !/8 off the tip to DUM-DUM em ! There were chaps though who would take up to a 1/4 of the nose & when they fired the first shot the jacket would lodge in the throat of the barrel & the core would procceed ! The next shot ........Well ? It was'nt pretty ! Our other habit was to buy .22 ammo, as Solids were $00.80 per box & Hollow Points were $1.10 per box ! It was alway Solids!!!!! We'd cut a cross in the Slug right to the cae mouth & these were quite effective !

Not to do any hijacking but. Thank you Tony. And you can become as clever/funny as me. But it is work work and more work. Why after all these years of practice I've just managed to step up from being a smart ass. Yep I am now a wise assTongueLOL.
