2. Shoot it in the face...with a shotgun.
3. Show it an Uwe Boll movie.

It's funny, I feel as though I've posted in this thread countless times before...
I'd shoot a zombie in the head with a bolt-action rifle or magnum. If I missed, I'd decapitate it with a machete or sword if I could get my hands on one. Failing that, I'd vaporize it with my portable doom laser. That's that.

A blunt weapon (probably a quarterstaff). When that broke, I would use my bare hands (although I wouldn't last long).
I would use my
Saiga shotgun
Berreta M9
Dragunov
machete
M4/16/AK47
MP5.
I've been trying to get my hands on some kind of light machine gun but its hard where I live.

In a zombie apocalypse, perhaps more than any other situation, my extreme cautiousness would be an asset. I would probably kill zombies from as far away as possible with a silenced rifle of some sort. No, in your face shotgunning or suicidal chainsawing for me. Just quick, quiet, and efficient. No gore splatter, no muss no fuss.
just one problem, arrows don't stand up all that well to being shot through a skull, or even just the chest cavityJinxzy said:
I'd want to avoid melee, not because I couldn't kill one but because it'll tire you quick if there's a lot of zombies to be killing em that way.
So, I'd want a shotgun, grenades, and a pistol. Weapons that I could manage despite not being a big gun person, that get the job done.

Well, you don't need to reload blades, and engines are loud and noisy, so no guns, or chainsaw, for me i would choose a machete. A sharpened one, and also i would use one swing just above the eye, so if it is doesn't slice brain, it will instead smash the skull... I am looking far too deep into this
Consider the manual for fighting zombies by Max Brooks- with many of us living in populated areas, it would be easy for us to obtain the weapons we need.
I would abide by the "three-ranges" ideal, with the attempt at combining tools as much as possible to lower total weight. My primary would be something like a Semi-automatic rifle (with an added low-light scope for night attacks) which would force me to conserve ammunition all the while giving me much needed range. Most semi-auto rifles use easily obtainable ammo (I think 7.62 mm Hungarian Heavy Ball) and their single-shot methods make them easy to repair and clean.
My secondary would probably be a .22 rimfire pistol. Small enough to be easily concealed, yet powerful enough to punch through a skull, the diminutive .22 is an easily underestimated gun that can come in handy, even in close engagements. Since it's ammo is also so light and plentiful, I doubt a gun shop wouldn't carry less than several thousand rounds. Their size (1/3rd that of most other rounds) means that transportation would be a breeze.
My final weapon, for close-encounters or hand-to-hand, would be the ever-prevalent crowbar. While obviously a useful tool against the undead,it serves the secondary function as a lever for wrenching open things like doors, giving it a good level of utility. If possible, however, I would get the newer Titanium models that have been leaking into the US from the former Soviet Union and it's once-European Allies, since they weight less and are much stronger than normal steel.
Course, that's just for standard, smaller engagements, and nowhere near what I would use in a building...
