Poll: Your weapon of choice for surviving the zombie apocalypse...

Guns would be mostly useless, unless you felt like attracting MORE zombies, which is even more pointless, because you probably don't have a metric crapton of ammo, or any way to repair/clean the gun. CQC is also mostly useless (But less so) because you'd have to be close to the things that can kill you from a minor scratch or bite. IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA, MAN. More bad on the guns, as a real life gun enthusiast, duel wielding any kind of gun is STUPID. You can't aim worth anything (Also, the sheer recoil with only one hand will cause your shot to go wide every time unless you're some kind of action hero starring in your own movie.) and reloading in any reasonable time is also near impossible. Go for a pitchfork. That way, you can both stab them while shoving them back. Or just skewer them and they can't get closer. If you stab with a sword, they can just pull a Cloud and run through it to your tender juicy bits.
Well a bolt action rifle would be useful. Specially if they are Romero zombies. You have the advantage of range and accuracy. Almost useless at close range but the zombies shamble so as long as I can keep my self mobile, I shouldn't have a problem. I'd use one of the lower calibre rifles. Those that can be suppressed to the point of being pretty silent. No need for using a 50cal Anti Material Rifle on zombies, too heavy, too loud.
I find it a little stupid that you wouldn't take a side arm with you. Even if you have to travel light and you need the ammo space. Walking around with out at least a side arm for close encounters is a daft idea. I'm sure you can spare the room for a small handgun on your person. Also a crowbar would be useful, for getting passed locks and taking out lone zombies without making too much noise. Again, you can easily spare the ammo space for a crowbar (which is much more important than ammo given it's flexibility as both a silent weapon and a tool).
Actually if you was smart, you'd carry a back pack with you so you could carry extra ammo, food and drink, along with any tool that could be useful. Even if your travelling light... You'd be better off carrying a backpack full of supplies and as much ammo as you could find. Yes you may get tired a little faster, just take regular breaks, the ammo, food and tools are much more important.

wanna know my weapon http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/14434/453612-translocator_super.jpg
its a tele porter so I can get myself outta bad situations and i has a camera for looing around corners and scouting and it can also be used to kill zombies ie when a zombie walks over it you can telefrag them by ripping them from the inside out

As a main weapon, a semi-automatic AK-74 (preferably an SBR varient with a supressor to reduce noise/possible ear damage).
Ammo is cheap, plentiful, low-recoil, and easy to carry, while the gun it's self is compact, lightweight, and retains the famous reliability of kalashnikov-style rifles.
Of course ammunition isn't a variable you can always rely on in a survival situation, so a good melee weapon on backup is always necessary.
