Well zombie killing is more like an art form in my opinion, you don't fight them like you fight regular people and of course depends on which kind of zombies, the slow kind, the running kind.

Let's start off with the slow kind, and that the zombie virus spreads by bite, and a zombie blood making contact with your blood or sometime simple. First off just in case, always fight zombies wearing eye protecting, full seal goggles to prevent splash back of blood into your eyes.

That aside, there are several guns you should have, also remember if these are the zombies that won't die unless you shoot them in the head, never waste ammo. Handguns, I say you can stick to a 9mm since a zombie doesn't feel pain so stopping power wouldn't matter if all you are doing is going for head shots. Hollow points should do. The less kick a handgun makes the better for aiming.

The shotgun is one of the more popular firearms for zombie killing. I say only use a shotgun only when it's close range. 00 Buck or slugs, the kind that can either blow a hole through a head or blow the head clean off

Rifles are a different sort, depending on how much ammo you can get, and how good your aim is. Say a bolt action sniper rifle with a proper scope for shooting.

For mid to long range you can get a semi auto rifle. Try not to use full auto weapons since the recoil wouldn't amount to anything. It isn't like zombies are afraid of suppression fire.

If you can get your hands on a machine gun, or even an LMG, I would only use that as a last resort to hold down a whole hoard of zombies storming at you, otherwise, you'd be wasting hard earn ammo that can be used in semi auto well aimed shots.

I'd also recommend learning how to make explosive and fire bombs to maim and burn zombies as much of them as possible. If one of your pipe bombs managed to blow off a zombie's limbs but not kill him, o well, but at least it cant crawl towards you.

Depending on where you fight will depend on how you use your firearms.

If you are holding down a strong hold, you'd better save bullets unless you have several thousand rounds of rifle ammo to pick off things cause you are bored

If you are running and gunning then you need to conserve ammo and aim close. If you had no choice but to plow through a crowd of zombies, then use the shotgun, perferably a semi auto shotgun.

Also, don't forget one of the best zombie killing weapons, a plain old metal shovel
