So i know this discussion is frequent and has a never ending "pro's and Con's" type arguement.
But Personally I believe the 12 gauge shotgun shell system is the best to consider in a survival situation, and the 45acp is the best side arm.
I used a list of factors to come up with this conclusion.
Reliability: The remington 870 variant pump action is my personal favorite because its well known for its simplicity and reliability in a combat situation. The Colt 1911 45acp is also known for both things.
Damage: The 12gauge shell is well known by all zombie hunters to be devastating against those "groaning bastards" But there's also a worl of different types of shells that you can utilize for a shotgun, turning it into a multipurpose killing machine, that can operate at distances up to 80 yards.
its also very easy to relaod the rounds, which is a plus to any gun enthusiant.
The 45.acp round is well known for having significant stopping power which is a necessity when youre dealing with crazed flesh eaters, and also is easy to reload.
Functionality: The 870 model shotgun has many variants and can be modified and utilized to any need whether it be CQC or medium range combat, if you need a longer range, you need a specialized weapon.
the 45. is going to put down anything that comes at you, whether its a head shot or not, its going to at least slow it enough to put down a few more rounds.
and the 45.glock holds 13 rounds, which cuts out the capacity con of the 45.acp
so guys, lets hear YOUR ideas and prefferances?

Im very capable with a knife or whatever i have on hand, but being realistic, no mortal being can handle more than 3 targets at once in a hand to hand scenario, and if you can, you preffer not to. The idea of a blade only works as a last resort. I mean, id preffer Chuck Norris on my zed hunter team way before i pick a sharpshooter, i mean, Who wouldnt? lol
Permalink Reply by the jack o' lantern on December 8, 2011 at 6:35am I'm a Kung Fu hop gaah and pak hok pai guy so I know how to fight multiple targets in close quarters, one of the things I want to try on a zed is the brain shake move they taught us, because it causes you to tand there for about five seconds about as aware as a zombie, so If I ever get the chance with a captured zed I wanna try it, and as to the knife, the knife is there when there's one or two and I need quiet, I can't have a handgun in my state yet, too young, so I have the knife
