Yeah it probably wont happen but if it did what would your weapon of choice be if society was struck with a zombie apocalypse?

I myself would go for the head splattering option of the slug blasting shotgun.....in close quarters you cant shoot but it also works as a good club.

well, since we're stepping out into the world of science fiction here, i'm thinking a handgun. i like revolvers, but for the apocalypse i'd carry a semi-automatic: more shots before reloading, easier carrying and re-loading a clip than a revolver speed-loader, much lighter and easier to carry and deploy the weapon itself (a consideration for a weapon that you will want to carry ALL the time), and if you're a cool shot you should have absolutely no problem splattering a stationary head sized target at 50 yards, a moving target at maybe 20 yards? (i mean zombies don't really move all that fast do they?)

Technically, this would be Fantasy, not SciFi. If zombies were to be classified as SciFi, one would need to do the same with vampires, werewolves and dolphins that didn't taste good. MMmmm!! Dolphins have big, juicy brains....
jeez... picky or what? :)

A continuous long-play loop of the Allen Sherman Classic Song...." Hello Muddah...Hello Faddah", with mega- phone style speakers mounted on top of a vintage 1956 Ford Country Squire " Woodie" Station Wagon.

The brain dead Mother-F@#KER'S would never know what hit them....Their gelantanous heads would merely IMPLODE with the song...that you just can't get out of your head.......:D


AWESOME :thumb::thumb::nod::nod:

I think you have watched Mars Attacks too many times......zombies dont get affected by music....they dont even do "the robot".......choose a sensible means of zombie slaying.

:D not only am I sticking with my chosen method of slaying , I also put forward that it is Zombie killing on a mass scale....just cruise down the streets playing "THE TUNE" and watch as platoons of the undead are mowed down as their heads blowup spontaneously ......boom, splat, pow-pow...pop, BOOM!!!! on a grand scale......why am I giggling so hysterically

I live in an urban environment, so I would want a handgun that would be good for close-quarters combat, and with a large magazine. You only need to shoot them in the head, not rip them in half with a shotgun.
I also like the crossbow idea - alot quieter, but not so good for multiple targets.
As for a non-shooting option - I would go for the classic baseball bat.

Best to go with something that can inflict blunt force trama, some sort of mace, morning stars...an axe, aluminum bat, shovel...got to smash those heads, kill the brain. Axe handles, whatever...and some sort of armour, helmet, etc. Ammo would run out fast, guns would become impractical after, and hand weapons, other projectile such as crossbows, slingshots would too. Back to the days of hack and smash.
