Personally, I'd prefer one of these:




but silenced.

Seriously though, I'd take my beloved AR, the 10/22, and the M1A for long-range applications. They'd all be suppressed if I could get it to be. If a living person can't tell where that loud shot came from, I doubt the dead can. I seriously don't think I'd find a use for a shotgun in a zombie apocalypse in Hawaii. I wouldn't want to use it for breaching anything in an unknown neighborhood. I suppose I would be able to give it to a noob who doesn't aim good, but a shotgun's recoil definitely isn't a newb-friendly gun.

Personally, I'd prefer one of these:




but silenced.

Like this?





Of course, with the added weight of the suppressors, you may need this to move it around...

Personally, I'd prefer one of these:

You mean this one?  (BTW he ain't got time to bleed)

mmmmm.......

How bout'

AR15
R15
Rem 870
Glock 17
S&W .45
Mini 14
Mini 30
S&W .38

Just for chits and giggles....

Looking for Walkers... LOL....

OK, here's my "real world" list:

CAR-15 (of some sort, whatever tickles your fancy):  military, police, civilians all have one so parts, mags, ammo should be readily available after the apocalypse hits

Remington 870:  lots of ammo, spares available

Remington 700, .308:  accurate, reliable, ammo readily available

Ruger 10/22:  lots of ammo available, everybody's got one, accurate, reliable, hunt small game (woof! meow!).  Might prove powerful enough against small zombies like Sofia

S&W J-frame .38:  never know which ditch might be the last

S & W 5906:  there's bound to be lots of spares, parts, mags, holsters lying around once the apocalypse hits

Beretta 92:  same as above, only gotta scrounge on base

Colt Series 70 Government Model .45:  only because I love that gun!


Now, if there were no restrictions on what you could have:


M-4, full auto with suppressor

10/22 with suppressor (still gotta eat)

Browning .30 MG air cooled with truck mount (ala Somali "tacticals")

H & K MP5SD

Remington 700 .308 with suppressor

S & W J-frame .38

Suppressed Saiga 12 ga from Red Jacket

Colt Series 70 .45

Lots of emphasis on suppressors since zombies are attracted by loud noises.
