Its the zombie apocalypse what weapon do you choose

[NightHawk21]

50 Cal Anti Material rifle, one shot could take out 5-8 zombies. I'd destroy them.

If you would like to know more about said rifle:

...you could only take out that many zombies in a single shot if you were firing into a crowd... if you were facing a crowd large enough to make that rifle efficient in terms of kill:ammo weight used, and you weren't running away, I pity you.

Yea but say imagine a high-rise building, with multiple adjsent buildings for an easy escape route. Sit on the second floor and remove all the first to second floor stairways and access.
Stock up on mutiple months of food supply with 10,000 rounds, (maybe a second rifle for backup) and spare parts for the rifle. Bang, sorted, let those hordes come get me.

You'd still be better served by a smaller-caliber rifle. How do you expect to take out more than one or two targets per shot firing from a second-story window? At that angle of fire, most of the round's energy would be expended into the ground.

I have time and mutiple angles to shoot from. I could drag them to one building before making a quick hop over to another building(via the roof) putting them at more of a distance which would reduce the angle of fire (a second floor is not that high) resulting in more hits with a single shot, zombies are sqwishy the 50 cal will tear most of them apart rendering them a minimal threat with some even being killed. Lower calaber sniper rifles will have to be all killshots to have best effect, even if you missed with a 50. you'd tear the one next to it up, lower calabler would just be wasted.

You'd be surprised just how much tissue damage a 7.62 NATO can do, and how many human targets one can go through. Also, they weigh less than 20% what a .50BMG cartridge weighs... not to mention the weight of their respective rifles (30lbs for the .50, average around 11lbs for a 7.62 battle rifle). So, any shot you take that kills or disables fewer than 6 zombies would be wasted potential, not to mention all the holes you're making in the pavement.
...and the second floor of a building really does make a pretty steep angle for anything less than 100m away. Considering you'd most likely be the only human around for quite a ways, you'd probably wind up with zombies all clustered close to your small group of buildings. If you're lucky, you might kill one and disable two on an average shot.

Yup, and not to mention that zombies are just dead humans. Assuming we're taking a relatively realistic approach and the zombies are lvl 30 black ops zombies, 1-2 well placed 9mm shots will probably even down one.

I'm cool with a crowbar. Heavy, multi-purpose, and can destroy the brain in one shot.

[Archtype]

Hmmmm....

Methinks Ide take a suppressed SCAR/Masada firing 7.62 NATO rounds with a 1911 .45 caliber as my backup/CQ weapon.

Excellent handling with folding stock for any possible up close and personal action. And it pack a wallop too.

What about when your 30 rounds are spent? You ducktape a butterknife on the end?

Butterknife? pfff you tape this

i understand you are joking but you can hit zombies with the one end.

interesting note on that Gerber machete: I actually own one, and after about a month of hard use hacking through vines and ivy, the grip was rattling horribly... they don't put a full tang on those, and the two bolts that they mount it with are insufficient to prevent cracking in the plastic grip. Mine's essentially broken and useless now. You're far better off with a more traditional "latin machete", especially in a zombie apocalypse scenario. You'll want something that can perform a task it wasn't designed for (opening skulls). That machete can't even do what it was designed for... at least not for very long.

Fair enough. That's pretty much why I bought mine. Big mistake on my part.
