What would be your weapon in a zombie apocalypse?

Trust me, you don't want a katana. Sure it looks cool in Dead Rising, but it's ineffective as flinging your own feces at them. Mostly because it's hard as hell to learn how to properly wield a katana, let alone use one effectively, and even then it's not very useful when you have a shitload of zombies around you and you have to get up close to them. You can get cornered or surrounded VERY easily, and you'd have to decapitate them to effectively stop them, which is very hard, since katanas are mostly used to slice through a torso.Sevre90210 said:
Sorry for nagging so much, but I remember a forum on which a zombie survival thread was SO HUGE that people actually had "professional" plans and books and shit, and whenever somebody mentioned a katana the others were blinded with rage typing "NO THAT WONT WORK", that it somehow got stuck with me.
Me, a shotgun. I think effective, and it's fucking iconic, just like your katana.

Well, it all depends on context and location. For the bit where I am trying to find survivors while simultaneously making my way to an easily defended location that's stocked with tons of useful supplies (Wal-Mart or Sunny's Surplus), I'd use the ever faithful machete and shotgun. Machetes have a good amount of power for use in everything from choppin' zombies to opening new avanues of escape or advancement, and they are light enough to easily wield in one hand. Shotguns have tremendous stopping power as well as damage, which is what is preferable in the situation, since I am only trying to defend myself at close range. I'd wear chain mail (which I do know how to make) under a thick, long coat (most likely a trench coat, since I have one) to defend against potential bites.
However, once at my new fortress (Wal-Mart or Sunny's Surplus), I'd switch to a long range rifle that I could easily use from the roof top for things such as head shots or shooting zombies that look like celebrities when I am bored. Of course, I wouldn't forget to barricade any doors and windows to keep those pesky flesh-eaters out. I'd rig up an easily used ladder or lift system to haul up any knew survivors, and anyone who gets bitten gets an instant bullet in their brain, even if it is me. I am careful, and I fully expect (and anticipate!) the zombie apocalypse to happen soon.

I would have to grab my shotgun. Here in the states, shotgun ammo is everywhere.
Also, the zombie threads reanimated (sorry) because it is getting close to Holloween.
