Heh... what a bunch of amateurs you are ;) You'd all be dead in a matter of minutes.

All the noise you will be making with those guns is gonna attract large groups. Before you know it you're with your back against the walll...-click-click-click-... and without ammo.

It's better to have a silent weapon with reusable ammo....like a crossbow. And you better be good with throwing knives. A combat knife/ machete for close combat/ last resort.

In a zombie apocalypse...the sprayers die first. Stealth might just save you.

Over the stench of their own decay and numbers? That's one potent mutagen then...giving them hightened sense of smell.

That would be Resident Evil territory....BOWs and the like.

TDI Vector with Holographic sight and 2 full auto Glocks with high cap mags.

Oh, and a Ninja sword for when they get close.

The Remington shotgun

"That's a fucking anti-aircraft rifle Vincent!"

(Sorry for bad pic quality)


OT: It can 1-hit kill damn near everything in Resi 2, would I need anything else?

No guns for me, make too much noise and just attract more zombies than you killed, it's like taking one step forward and two steps back. Give me a repeating full-size crossbow. It's long-range, accurate, and easily has enough penetrating power to kill a zombie by piercing its brain in a single shot. All without attracting any more zombies than there were before.

Edit: Good luck finding one though, they don't exist besides ones people have made. There are two models I tend to see, a Chinese Repeating Crossbow Replica from centuries ago or a more modern custom built electric crossbow.

Both models are magazine fed, but the chinese one is made completely of wood, whereas the modern one is usually metal-based.

Honestly, a WA2000 and a telescoping bardiche polearm for melee.


It's the second from the left

Less honestly, a PPC revolver modified to have a scope and silencer. Because it looks extremely cool.

Depends on whether tanks count or not. If they do, I'd just use one of those. If not, I'd like to use an automatic shotgun and maybe a poleaxe (chainsaws require you to be too close for comfort to zombies).

Why give away my position, also, lots of 9mm out there.

Oh, and I would need a trench coat. Not only for the coolness factor, but because they were designed to block knifes in trench warfare, so I assume they would for zombie bites, too. That, and the protection would let me use my arm as a gun stand.

Does it have to be a firearm? Cause if not, than I'll take a Yumi, along with a Katana and a sling. If so, then I'll take the Blunderbuss.

....

(What? you never said anything about it having to be used this century... sides, samurai and pirate weapons are awesome...)

And for melee, a shaolin spade is my #1 choice, anyone who says anything else doesn't know what they're talking about. (unless they say trench spike, thats also a great idea.)

Shaolin Spade - excellent range, speed, silence, and decapitation ability. Perfect weapon for a zombie killer. The only problem is size and wieght, carrying it during the zombie apocolypse will be exhausting. I would keep it in my base but if my base is compromised, I will not take it with me.





Trench Spike - Excelling for CQC in tight quarters where the shaolin spade is too large to be practical. Quick, Silent, 100% Effective, and extremely fast recoil time(recoil time is the time needed between attacks with weapons, for example, a polearm, like the one chosen in an above post, as such a slow recoil time that we would likely die due to not being able to attack fast enough) if you have any training with knives, dispatching a large group of zombies with this weapon should be a simple task. It's also safer to wield than a normal knife because of how it is attached to your hand.

You'll be dead on the first day. Well, maybe not the first day, but you will become exhausted from carrying those large-heavy weapons and the blunderbuss will require too much ammo to carry and will be too difficult to reload in a clutch situation. Therefore, you will have to revert to the katana, which is a good choice, but too large to use in certain situations, plus the blade dulls quickly unless it is a damascus blade, but those are expensive. And a Yumi? Seriously? I'm not even going to dignify that with an explanation on why that's a stupid choice.

What happens when your tank runs out of gas? And are you aware that tanks take several people to operate? No? Well, even if you were, where to you plan to keep the food and water to keep your crew fed and watered while you hide in your tank under your constantly dwindling fuel supply while constantly attracting more and more zombies due to all the noise your slowly moving vehicle is making?

Are you going to get out and use your poleaxe that is way too heavy and has much too long of a recoil time? You'll be overcome in seconds because of your inability to quickly switch from one target to the next.

Also, the reason chainsaws are a bad idea isn't their range, it's the noise that they make, their weight, and their finite fuel supply. You'll die with a chainsaw either because of exhaustion of because your weapon ran out of gas in the middle of an invasion.

P.S. Automatic shotguns aren't a bad idea, but carrying the ammo for those will be annoying and reloading them will be a pain during an invasion and may very well cause your death.

*sigh*Now I'm off to the "If you woke up in the same bed as the above avatar" thread to see what they have to say about my new avatar =D

Trench Gun, like a real nice pump-action mossberg 12gage.

Easy to reload even while running, not to mention shotgun shells are very easy to make, even from other shells, and you can't miss at close to mid.

I'd prefer to use melee, quieter and no ammo needed. Like a Fire Axe or the Trail Boss from Cold Steel.

The AK-47. It's durable, easy to use, doesn't require regular maintenance, and ammo would be relatively easy to come by due to how common the weapon is.
If i'm being sensible about it, this. The AK is ridiculously resilient (saw videos of it being dragged through mud, thrown about, submerged - you name it and it came out fine and working) and it'll take your standard 7.62x39mmm assault rifle rounds.

However...

There is a lot of truth to this. When i read the 'Zombie Survival Guide' (great book, all should read for educational purposes *cough*) it emphasised that stealth is what's going to keep you alive. The people with the big loud shotguns and noisy trucks are always going to go before the guys with the crossbows, machetes and push-bikes because the second you make any sort of racket the bastards will hear it and be all over you before you know it. So if i'm NOT in any sort of holdout situation, i'd take a crossbow or longbow of some description, a machete, and possibly my kitchen cutlery set for some sort of throwing knife capacity. A silenced handgun would also be handy for quick moments where you have to react and can't be pissing around aiming a crossbow or retrieving the ammo.

If we're talking some sort of ridiculous fantasy weapon with neverending ammo that you can use indiscriminately during a last stand situation? That's a tough one. A flamethrower would be an absolute riot, but ultimately not very useful since it would take too long for them to burn. A shotgun would be equally fun but the shitty reloading speed makes it a bit of a one hit wonder. Any sort of .50 cal weapon would require you be stationary. To be honest, considering that sort of situation you'd end up using "boring" but reliable weapons - the G3GC for its quick reload and even stability or the FAMAS for its short, controlled 3 round burst. But for absolute fun? Probably the Browning Assault Rifle. I'd be the guy laughing his ass off and firing the thing from the hip, watching limbs fly before inevitably becoming zombie chow while others escape to safety. Simply because there's nothing more satisfying than a Dying Moment of Awesome. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DyingMomentOfAwesome]

Finally someone that uses some reason. I suppose, that could work, however a shotgun uses too much power, making the shells much larger than required to kill a zombie, you can kill a lot more zombies with a handful of pistol ammo than with a handful of 12 gauge shells.

Also, I like your choice of melee weapon, it is practical. Only thing I could suggest is a combination weapon, like a machete with a saw on the backside. I'm not sure what the saw could be used for but It's bound to come in handy somewhere.

If I learned anything from my Uncle - the R1 or FN are the safest bets.
Helped him survive in Angola, will help me now.

An AK47, M9 Beretta and a crowbar.
The Kalashnikov is easy to maintain, durable, reliable and ammo is easy to come by. Saw off the rear stock (or better yet, get a foldout one) and strap a torch on the front and it can also cover small dark areas should you ever need to go through such a place.
The M9 (or any 9mm pistol really) is also a solid choice due to the fact that it's strong enough to whiz through Uncle Zeddy's head but weak enough to not break my wrists with every shot. Suppressing it would be nice but without sub-sonic rounds it'd still be loud enough to give away your position and I imagine sub-sonic rounds aren't that easy to find.
The crowbar because it can crack open doors, boxes and skulls. What's not to love?

Might be pretty boring but I see to many flaws with most other weapons. .22 pistols aren't strong enough to consistently pierce a skull requiring you to aim for the eyes if your target is thick headed which is something you clearly don't have time for if you have your pistol drawn. Revolvers would be far to awkward to reload in the heat of the moment and make a lot of noise. Shotguns seem like overkill to me. If a 9mm to the head can take him out (and in most zombie scenarios is the only way to put him back in the ground for good) then spraying buckshot all over the place and making a ruckus is unnecessary. Assault rifles are a good bet (even better if you can nab a carbine like the M4A1) and so are a lot of machine pistols and SMGs, my only worry would be grabbing one that's high maintenance, hence the AK47 (so easy to use even kids can use them!). Sniper rifles and marksman rifles could be useful, but they're noisy, a lot of them are pretty high-maintenance and to heavy to be lugging about with food, water, a side arm and some form of automatic weapon. LMGs and Heavy Assault Rifles are to heavy and their strengths (spraying and suppressive fire) are not only useless against zombies but could prove to be dangerous, you're making loads of noise, chewing through ammo and making half of them into crawlers by damaging their legs or spines. The Crossbow sounds nice but you've one shot before a reload and ammo and maintenance weigh it down further. Melee weapons should be last resort and multi purpose. Charging head first towards a creature that with a single bite or drop of blood, bile or spit into an open wound can turn you into another walking bag of infection sounds crazy. What's even crazier is the fact that you intend to start slashing, stabbing or smashing up the bag of infection in what must be one of the messiest ways of getting rid of it.
I'm sure there's some flaws in my own logic (like getting hold of an AK47 in Scotland) but those are just my reasons.
