Yes, it's a flag of surrender. And also a literal dishtowel. They used what they had, which wasn't much, apparently, lmao

You know you can have guns too right? You have access to the exact same stuff this entire time. You don't need to be crazy to have things and skills to keep you alive in an emergency.

My personal strategy is to follow the Zombieland approach. Be fit, be smarter, have some basic weapons. The fat and stupid rednecks will be the first killed off and leave their arsenal up for grabs pretty quickly. No sense in wasting my money on that crap when I can just pick it up off their corpses.

Assuming you live long enough to pick it up...

And have any skill to use it. COD makes it look easy

Guns aren't hard to use. They just require practice to accurate and precise.

That's what I'm saying. You don't get practice waiting for a gun owner to die off
