Semi-auto rifle. Any one really, though I'd prefer something of a medium caliber and a good capacity magazine. Any 7.62mm would do. For in close, riot gear and a mace type weapon.
What weapon would you use in case of zombie apocalypsis?

Hmmm, in that case... see you in the Woolwich Arsenal. I'll be the one draped in 5.56 belts, holding a Minimi!Scabadus said:
Silenced Ruger Mk II, crowbar, and a scoped AK-47. Possibly a scoped crossbow, spear, and hatchet as well. Probably raid a sports store for some armor. Most importantly, ski mask, combat helmet and goggles, for head and face protection. If I abandon realism, a SPAS-12, a M82A2, and a Mk 19 grenade launcher, with a dao or nodachi for melee. Also, chainmail over leather armor
my .270 winchester hunting rifle, a canadian shit ton of ammo, and a maul, because once the edge goes dull you can use the back end as a club.
A lot of people will say a gun of some sort, but ammo will eventually become hard to find and lets hope that isn't the only thing you plan on packing around. I'd probably take a few guns (whatever was handy that isn't too heavy, and had a lot of ammunition with it at the time), and then mostly melee. Axe, would probably be my first choice.
Then, to find somewhere to bunker down. Honestly, the first place I'd go and try to fortify: a Costco Warehouse. Seriously. No windows, and the two front doors have double metal sliding gates. Thing is like a fortress....with food, furniture, medicine, literature, clothes, and (more then likely) a back-up generator.

In my imaginary fantasy worl I have a BIG strong knife and two pistols
However in the real world my only ranged weapon would be throwing rocks at the zombies or if Im really lucky a crude gun that shoots out nails
I would have my trusty metal beating stick though

I would take my poi, and shove oversized nails through it. I can swing that thing for hours without getting tired.
MP5, preferably the one with better head sinks if my friend in cadets is correct and a machete. Light weight and the MP5 being such a good SMG is used in so many countries ammo is less of a problem than some other guns. And some bite resistant military gear. That's if thing's work out perfectly.
In reality, I'd used my spiked bat, maybe an airsoft pistol (hey I might get a lucky shot through the eye to the brain and a knife. I'd wear my leather jacket, my insulated jeans, my leather gloves, my airsoft helmet and some all purpose hiking boots. I would not raid the gunstore at first, maybe scout it out later to see what I can scavange, but I'd most likly get a pistol from a zombifiyed cop whom I would introduce to my bat, then I'd take his gun and tazer (for assholes who aren't zombies. I just killed a zombie cop, who's inforcing the law?). Other than that, I'd avoid confrentation if I could, get an out of the way defendable spot with a chokepoint for the horde. I'd try to make it to the woods though, better roughing it than trying to scavange in a zombie hell hole. If my scout training is worth shit and I'm lucky enough to find a ranged weapon of sorts I'll be reasonably safe. Of course I wouldn't use a car, maybe a scooter or a manuverable vehicle with moderate speed, but the last thing I want is to be stuck in fucking traffic with the legion of the damned breathing down my neck.

Well obviously a gun that shoots shuriken and lightning.
Realistically, get something that has plenty of ammo available and doesn't break your wrist when firing. Try to use melee weapons like a sturdy pipe segment or hammer as often as possible to keep the gun in good condition. Even melee will not be a really smart option as hitting something hard (like a human skull) repeatedly will hurt your wrists a lot. I'd just make sure not to attract too much attention, attempt to get some sort of food production going on the roof of the garage and barricade some basement windows and the doors.
A Katana or any other sword not sold from a real swordsmith is not wise because the ones sold for anything less than 3000$ will either bend or shatter after a few swings.
Neither would be a bow if you want to shoot any more than ten individuals accurately in a row. Unless you've trained to be a genuine medieval soldier archer capable of firing salvos. It's smarter than shooting with a loud, ammo-hungry assault rifle though.
Most likely I'll just die because I have no training with guns and the only gun store around sells bolt-action hunting rifles and maybe collectors items.
Then again, the military is probably not going to just stand by and get eaten, we didn't invent Metal Storm to be taken over by a few unarmed braindead shamblers. It'll probably be a bit costly and some cities maybe even be lost, but it's not that hard to identify the source of the zombie virus and just shoot on sight. Unless it goes airborne or manages to infect micro-organisms like some sort of deranged, undead algae apocalypse.

Admirable plan there sir. I mainly based my theories on survival. I am not saying that you can't bend the rules to have a little fun. Those are just my rules to stay alive. Much like life is now, when something comes my way that is worth the risk involved I happily jump forth like a lemming to its doom.romull said:
Instead of an island in your scenario I might opt for something like Alaska, plenty of energy farms there, and a zombie would starve trying to get from one place to another there (if they didn't freeze first). Plentiful food as well, if you like fish.
Thank you, RamirezDoEverything.RamirezDoEverything said:
The AK series has the most in the way of ammo and spare parts, worldwide (The Soviets made an awful lot of them). And they don't stop working, and are far better per shell at taking down a bum's rush than the NATO / Colt Commando equivalents. (Zombies don't tend to hide in cover and return fire.)
For a real-world discussion on the subject, consider checking out the Zombie Squad [http://www.zombiehunters.org/] a real-world Zombie outbreak task force. No kidding!
Sadly, part of the Zombie paradigm is that there are more zombies than bullets. And everyone gets tired and hungry sooner or later.
I suspect in our universe, we'd sooner encounter infected zombies, or for a strange twist, headcrab-style alien-possessed zombies than we would undead zombies.[footnote]Undead ones are raised either by magic or weird zombie-raising radiation, both of which our world seems to be rather scant.[/footnote] And those are on enough of a time limit that a proper fortification could keep them out.
