Clinchester - v good gun

[Dr_CheekClapper]

Your dating system is ridiculous

[Renathras]

Nice info ant tips.

One thing I disagree is the Clinchester. I've found literally no other rifles yet, but the Clinchester seems to be a good gun. I've one shot foxes with it. Prob can deer, too. It's also good vs a small group of zombies because you get 6 shots and each will one-shot if you makes sure they're in somewhat close range. The Double Barrel works great, but you only get two shots and you can't always get the spread where it will kill 6 zombies, and none of the 45s can unless you get 6 quick headshots in a row while the zombies are charging. If you can do THAT, then you can do it with the Clinchester. My experience so far is 45 and 308 ammo equal in terms of how much I find, though I'm new so that could just be luck of the draw.

In any case, I think the Clinchester is a great weapon, especially for people who haven't gotten to the police station level yet.
