The CDC's zombie and other disaster kit is suppose to keep you alive while you run away. The guns and the sprayer would require a vehicle. I do like the sprayer. I also like the shotgun, but I don't want to be close enough to a zombie to use a machete or ax. I'm not sure if a long range rifle would help against a zombie but if you already have a machete and a shotgun and a gasoline sprayer wouldn't this be too heavy to carry.
