I don't have as much practical experience as you might be thinking (I fired a .22 LR rifle once or twice when I was 5 and two rounds from a friend's Kimber TLE a few months ago, and that's pretty much it), and I can still do a better job at weapon selection that the ZSG author.

That's pretty much all I can give him points for.
Nothing in the current US military arsenal uses .30 carbine.

The only zombies that make sense are the ones in 28 days later or something that are a crazy person. Seriously, muscle function (movement) without anything but brain working? And if digestive systems gone, whyd they want to eat people? I say, zombies can be taken down with a torso shot. Get whatever gun youd use against your regular old home invader/other unneeded bipedal.

But I suck with pistols :(

This stock helps a lot:

You might be able to add a vertical foregrip as well.

Or if your going with that weight and bulk migth as well get a SMG. Pistols are a last ditch close range gun anyway.

I don't have a Block

Ill never own a hunk of platic with a poor trigger and crappy grip angle.

As I have said before, polymer framed guns just aren't my cup of RC :D. The S&W M&P and the FNP series are the exception to the rule though

Handled the M&P and it actually is very confortable in hand. Havent fired one though. im willing to give it a chance though, glocks just dont point naturally or have any real appeal for me.
