Some people say things like Desert Eagles, Katanas, AK-47s, SPAS-12s, etc. when prompted for their weapon of choice, which chances are, they haven't actually used them. Mine's just a simple Ruger 10/.22 + red dot sight, which I have shot many times and qualified for Junior NRA at a perfect score with. So what's your weapon of choice (that you actually have access to!), and how experienced are you with it?

I do actually use all of my 'weapons of choice'.....actually ak's arent that hard to get a hold of. I may be wrong, but i believe they are the highest produced assault rifle in the world. ( well counting chinese romanian, etc knockoffs and shit) actually the liquor store up the street has a couple cheap ones behind the counter. and every body around these parts owns a shotgun. and you can buy a machette at walmart for under 10 bucks. all 3 are simple efficent weopons.
I'm ex-Navy so I'm trained in M-14, .45 and 12 Ga.
I currently own:Taurus 9mm, Astra .380, Rohm .22 Mag, Ruger 10/22 and an old Higgins 12 Ga. (My granddads) a crossbow and various knives, swords, a machette and a nice hand ax.
Ammo: almost a thousand rnds of .22 LR, 200 rnds of maximag .22, around 800 rnds 9mm, 150 rnds of .380 and around 100 12 Ga. Shells.
I inherited most of the guns and ammo when my father (a small time gun dealer) passed away and I used to fire them and his AK-47 and SKS every time I visited... It was our "bonding" thing... wish Mom hadn't sold the AK and SKS before I could claim them but she promised me her Colt .357 and Walther P-22 when she passes.
I prefer Just a low powered semi-auto rifle, something with decent range and little kick, and if its lighter then you can carry it over long distances too. probably the .22, or a 2-43. I'm also reasonably well versed with a variety of swords, katanas, gladius, broad sword (not good for zombies), and the strait edge short sword. 9mm is also good, little kick and plenty of ammo lying around.
well i have but thats because it is a fire axe or crowbar and common hunting rifle. you know practical stuff. there is no way in hell you will have easy access to fully auto guns and if you do the ammo is easily wasted, heavy and hard as shit to find. You can fine a crowbar, fire ax, and common hunting rifle with ammo in any town in the whole united states. go for Practical not pray and spray. if you practical with you zombie survival join the group PZS: Practical Zombie Survival
I have actually used my weapons of choice (distance: Dragunov close: Crowbar/katana). I have studied sword fighting in various forms since a young age, including 3 years of kendo (which uses the katana specifically), and the crowbar translates nicely into the other swordplay I have practiced.
And, thanks to my friend's recent purchase of a Dragunov, I have gotten in practice with this rifle as well. However, I am open to more conventional firearms that will most likely become more readily available to me.
Nah, I haven't... However I do own a wooden katana, and at the very least I can bash the crap out of anything with it. It hurts like fuck, I accidentally hit myself with it. I suppose a club, or indeed, a crowbar, would be just fine for me. Or I'll just take up parkour. As far as I know, zombies can't do parkour. At least I'll be somewhat ready for the outbreak.
