Zombie Survival - Choice of Firearm

[Excalibur]

If I can just pick, I'd have at least 3 handguns, all 9mm because it doesn't take much to break open the skull of a zombie and end them. Anything smaller than 9mm would lose range and all 3 would be 9mm so I can have only need of one type of pistol ammo in the event any of my other guns fail so they share the same ammo.

Springfield XDM
Glock 34
SIG P226

I'd also want a pistol caliber rifle for an added range with the abundant common 9mm ammo and for better range and accuracy if my rifles failed.

Cx4 Storm
MP5 in any configuration if I can get my hands on it.

For rifles, I'd get assault rifles and sniper rifles if I can get my hands on them.

L96
Remington 700
AR-15 style rifle
AR-10

And for shotguns

Beneili M4
Remington 870 with a pistol grip and stock
AA-12 for the kind of situation where I am in a room or cornered and I need some real firepower that spreads all over the place in full auto.

My weapons:

* Heckler & Koch HK416 D10RS with Eotech 552 Holographic sight, Aimpoint 3x magnificent scope, RIS foregrip, and Surefire flashlight.

* Mossberg 500 fitted rear and forward pistol grips, heat shield, and spare shell holder.

* Pair of Kimber Warrior II's kept in a shoulder rig.

When the zombies come, I won't need any weapons. I'll just pray them away.

[AdAstra2009]

Primary:
M4 Carbine with ACOG (From NG Armory)

Long Range:
HK 91/CETME (From Gunstore)

Sidearm:
Sig Sauer P229 (From local police dept. or gunstore)

Though my weapon selection wouldn't matter as long as I have one of these and plenty of fuel. I could just camp out for the night in the middle of a horde of zombies and nothing would happen to me.

I've shot these weapons before so I'm pretty accurate and comfortable with them.

Why are most people trying to get .223 rifles and 9mm handguns? You realize that 9mm and 223 rifles have a hard time bringing down people on adrenaline. They have no stopping power. Zombies are like crazy pcp hooked crackheads. Good luck with that.

You say that like there's actually some science behind zombies. The popular opinion regarding killing zombies is that they'll be stopped once you destroy the brain. A headshot with either a .223 or a 9mm will do nicely.

Has anyone considered the magazine issue? As in, it doesn't matter how much ammo you have, only how many mags you have. I'd go with a pump action shotgun and a revolver. That way you can just use loose ammo.

You´re right. Fist, use the magazine-based weapons. Then, when they´re empty, use the shotgun or the revolver until you can find a safe place to reload the magazines.

That makes sense too, but this isn't a video game where you can carry multiple long guns, a sidearm, and tons of ammo and mags, as well as presumably, a melee weapon. If you had a vehicle, sure, but then you'd have to find gas for it.

I'd go with the shotgun, the revolver, ammo, a ka-bar, and a tomahawk. And if I can get a military shotgun, a bayonet.
