I LOL'd at the flame thrower. I always thought it was amusing that the dead can be hurt by fire. They're dead. I imagine that in a real zombie apocalypse fire of any kind would turn zombies in to walking flames of death. Who needs chargers and tanks when a hug from a melty face zombie will do just nicely.leedwashere said:A flamethrower would be a great tool for taking swarms of zombies and reducing them to smoldering ruin. Large crowd of zombies, just one burst would probably be enough to light them all up. Unfortunately flamethrowers don't have unlimited ammunition, so as a backup I'd probably go with a trusty Quarterstaff, its a great weapon for holding your ground and would give you enough range to whack them down before and behind you while you're still out of their reach.

You and I think uncannily alike.MGlBlaze said:M1911A1 for a sidearm - reasonably powerful and fairly wieldy as far as I know, unlike the clunky and over-rated Desert Eagle. If I needed a more powerful sidearm I'd go with a .357 or .44 magnum revolver of some type.
Primary 1: Any rifled shotgun, preferably using box magazines rather than a tube magazine to make reloading faster. The deer slugs would pack a great punch and potentially keep going, unlike buckshot that would more likely stop. (As a side-note, buckshot actually doesn't spread anywhere nearly as much as most games would have you believe - they are still quite frighteningly lethal at a 75 meters away)
Primary 2: not too sure, though I'd like something with decent range, so a low-magnification scope and high velocity would be useful. Any kind of reasonably powerful hunting rifle I guess, or a battle rifle if I managed to get my hands on military equipment.
You will notice a distinct lack of melee weapons. Hitting things with the butt of a rifle or shotgun or something is actually very dangerous as well, but there's problems with blood splatter and I'd quite like to avoid using a weapon that could get me killed without ever having to have a zombie lay its hands on me. This is assuming we're talking about the 'infection' type of zombie, of course.
If we're talking about the 'magic happens-to-anyone-that-dies' kind, then I'll happily replace the rifle with a mace or some other blunt weapon - they don't require being kept sharp.
