Best Weapon for a zombie attack? Your thoughts...
One must always have a side arm. I prefer a .40 cal pistol. It holds more rounds than a .45 and way more stopping power than a b.s. 9mm. It has stopping power close to a .45 but the drop off to bullet gained ratio is not much so i go with a .40.
I think that if you say "Sniper Rifle" You are truly a retard! Unless you are a trained professional sniper (and I'm guessing you're not) then dont use it. Even with trained snipers who have had this discussion with me have said that they dont think that it has a place in door to door zombie combat survival. Its way too complicated and not feasible. Sniping should be reserved for a fortified position where your distances, bullet drop ratio, elevation, angle of the shot, your rifle 'dope' are standard and known. Then, all you have to do is add in your wind and barometric pressure (depending on the distance). Sniping a head shot on a still target is hard enough then add in all the other variables, next to impossible for the lay-person. See my blog that i wrote in response to an IDIOT who said that he'd use a 'sniper rifle'. I have too much respect for REAL snipers and know enough about it to assume that I can just put the cross hairs on a zack and just pull the trigger. Sniping is NOTHING like in the video games. Get that through your head! Again I am only talking to a small majority on here. The majority of you all have pretty good heads on your shoulders and are smart. You are constantly surprising me with your ideas. I'm basically talking to the pre-pubescent males who play too many video games and seen too many movies.
Oh yeah. You need a primary weapon. If you just have a bat or a crow bar you'll tire yourself out too much too quickly. Its great if thats all you have or if it's your back up weapon but not a primary.
I want to know what you thing about primary weapons, side arms, and reserve weapons and when you should have them or have them all around or with you. What do you think?

You talk about the aks 47u being good size. "It was hard having full size clip on your lap".I hope you got a ammo crate in the backseat for your drive-bys. Run them over save your ammo! Me personaly would try and stay away from populated areas.My first choice in personal defense you be a m-14 and at close range Id use a machete.

A good melee weapon would probably be a machete witha dull blade. That way you can shatter the skull and damage the brain with out the risk of cutting youself witht the contaminated blade. I always thought the best melee weapon is one thats better at splitting than cutting.
As for a primary weapon, an assault rifle in 5.56 NATO, preferably plastic-tipped bullets. Plastic-tipped bullets (for those who don't know) are hollow points with a plastic tip on the end. That way you have the effect of a hollow point, but with better aerodynamics. Hollow points were banned from being used in the U.S. military, because they inflicted so much damage, the wounds would be unrepairable and death would be inevitable. They are the next best thing to exploding bullets.

Oh, almost forgot! I'd prefer a Heckler & Koch P30 in .40 Smith & Wesson. .40 Smith & Wesson being more powerful than a 9mm and lighter than a .45, its a perfect caliber. Plus, its a common round so it would be easy to find.

Shotguns are the best firearm in close range, as long as you dont mid getting splattered and making noise. Other than close(2-7 feet) range, they are pretty much useless. They will take out a zombie with a skater of shot, but whats the point on firing ten small pellets when a single, more accurate shot will work easier and more quitely? If you ask my opinion, a simple M16 rifle will work fine for a fight between almost any amount of zombies. Easier to reload than a shot gun, quieter and more accurate, semi automatic rifles will outmatch a shotgun any day. other than that, yes, the shotgun ammo is quite easy to find, so it makes the top ten on my list of weapons.
Other than my M16, I would have my trench knives on my hands( I will never stop saying that in a close range fight, nothing is better), as they are designed to peairce steel helmets and skulls. As the average zombie does not wear a steel helmet, peircing a single skull is a peice of cake.
I will have my belt with ammo for my M16 in it, along with ammo for my Magnum pistols, fitting snug in their holsters. My kelvar arm coverings are in place (the zombie will always go for the arm first. I dont know why, but any zombie with sense will grab your arm to hold you in and immobilize you, then bite.) Im thinking of buyin gmore pistols and getting a modified kelvar vest so I can be epic like this guy
