You make me sad, sir. :'(
its all good, you could suppress it, making it pretty quiet, also, no muzzle flash =D, just make the EMP launcher a conventional launcher.

An assault rifle and underbarrel shotgun are a good combo, as the assault rifle will pick them off before they get near, while the shotgun will deal with any close-quarters surprises.
However, the suppressor will hinder you as you're not really in a stealth situation, and the suppressors will reduce the damage you do to zombies.
The handguns are good too - dual handguns will make sure that if the first shot misses, there's another one immediately available without recoil mucking up the aim. .50 is also essential.
I recommend using hollow-point or expanding-gas-ring rounds, as they do the most damage and open wide holes in things. That's the primary concern when shooting zombies - how can I remove as much of the zombie as possible each shot?
METEOR (Magneto-Exo-Triboelectric O-Type Railgun)
Developed by the Colobian National R&D Section after their win over the UEA. METEOR was designed as a support weapon capable of laying down high-caliber fire on a fire zone miles away. The railgun accelerates shells to up to 200 meters a second, and is capable of targeting with no line of sight through satellite uplink and imaging. The METEOR has significant advantages over conventional long-range support weapons in that it is man-portable, has very little set-up time and produces no flash. However, the project was abandoned and the prototype never fired after the gun was found to require the energy output equal to complete fission of a large planet. Clip holds three .300 rounds.
a couple of things

you want to be quiet to avoid attracting more zombies, and Suppressors will not alter performance at the ranges a normal civilian will be engaging targets at

dual wielding will ensure you miss whatever you are pointing at, even if you train heavily, a single pistol will
always give better results. And .50 AE is a massive waste of space; when dealing with zombies, head-shots are all that matter, and even .380 auto/.38 special will give you the desired results at the ranges a normal civilian will be operating at. smaller ammunition means higher carrying capacity, less weight, easier follow up shots, more magazine capacity, and it is
much easier to find. .50 AE is quite possibly the worst mainstream ammunition size to pick in a SHTF (shit hits the fan) situation. .22 LR will give better results. Desert Eagles have fragile mechanisms (they must be maintained well and kept free of dirt/dust) and even in tip-top shape, are prone to jamming.

>The railgun accelerates shells to up to 200 meters a second
railguns do not negate recoil, this velocity would turn your shoulder into a grainy mass of bone and flesh. also, this velocity would rip the bullet to pieces.
also, shells are the empty casing left after a traditional gunpowder cartridge is fired, can also refer to loaded/spent shotgun ammunition.
>on a fire zone miles away.
keep in mind that on a "flat" plain on earth, the horizon is about 8.5 km or about 5 miles, however, assuming the bullet managed to stay in one piece, the kinetic energy would be lost long before that mark.
>very little set-up time
the time to charge the capacitors for that sort of acceleration with a projectile of that size (more on that later) would be on the magnitude of hours at least.
>Clip holds three .300 rounds.
its a magazine, magazines are enclosed, and feed the rounds directly (used on most modern weapons) a clip holds the rounds together to be placed into an internal fixed magazine (think M1 Garand) "speed-loaders" for revolvers are also clips.
but on to the main point, the ammunition. judging from the scales in the picture, that is about a 25mm - 30mm projectile.
have my version of the H&K 416
