Oh definitely shotty. I have a 12 gauge in my closet and a box of MREs in my garage. Don't worry Baton Rouge you will be safe on Z-Day!

Like you've read my mindSimonccx said:shotgun, good for those pesky zombies on mass, specially bolt or automatic, plus when its out it doubles as a club
I'd liked to think rotted flesh burns well enough that they would be ashes before long. and a big enough pile would block off the remaining zombies.Rutawitz said:youd only succeed in lighting them on fire. they would still be alivekommando367 said:A cigarette lighter and a can of furbreeze, then kick it into the horde.

an interesting argument. as you said there would be problems with large groups of zombies but against a small group, like 3 or 4, it would be good. with your 'after every hit you would make yourself vulnerable to other nearby enemies' you would make one attack flow into the next, particularly if you have 2 katans, so you wouldn't be vulnerable for long, if at all. all you have to do is cut the zombies head off and it goes down so you could kill 2 or 3 in one swing. of course learning iaido or some other sort of kenjutsu/nitojutsu would be helpful.The infamous SCAMola said:Actually guns would be much better than katanas, with a katana you would have to waste time cleaning of all the blood off of the blade after every couple of enemies, you would probably tire yourself out earlier because of all the wild flailing you would be doing, it would only be effective at a short range unlike a gun, wich would make it near impossible to tackle a large group of enemies, after every hit you would make yourself vulnerable to other nearby enemies, there is the chance that the blade might get stuck into the corpse of one of the zombies you hit, leaving you defenseless.PureChaos said:guns need reloading which takes time plus bullets can miss. if i had to use a gun i'd go for a pistol due to little recoil so more accurate shots. my ideal weapon would be a sword, preferably a katana and preferably 2 of them.
While the katana has a lot of cool factor, it would probably be the worst weapon you could pick in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
There is a reason if soldiers today use guns instead of swords.
