Will you credit us on the flyleaf of your book?

Well if someone actually publishes a book set in the insane neo-western/samurai, zombie infested dystopian world I'm trying to think up, yes.

Well as far as water goes there woulden't be as much of a problem for those in the 'country'. At least in my area if you're not on the city water system, which is to say that you're outside the city limits, your source of water is a well that has been sunk when your house was first built.

Coolness, only objection here is obviously the necessity of electricity to pump the water from the well to the house? Is it dependent on electricity, if so, problems could arise.
GREAT post Cylvre! This is really helpful.
My figuring is the major reason people wouldn't be able to reload their ammo is the aforementioned labour cost issues, and in addition the assumption that given a
massive zombie invasion, people would most likely be forced to move some distance and therefore be limited in what they could carry, ammo would be pretty heavy in significant amounts.
My issue with muzzle loading arms is that while they'd be an obvious choice, I don't think that a post apocalyptic society would develop them any time soon, the reason again being gunpowder production and labour costs being too problematic compared to the advantages, which are fairly small considering it takes some time to reload a muzzle weapon.
