Absolutely have to go with a melee weapon for satifaction. 1 of my 3 battleaxes, or perhaps my claymore sword.

Yes, I understand it's inefficient and I'd probably get converted sooner or later, but I want to lop off some arms and legs first and play with my zombie kills!

a good crowbar would do the trick for me, coupled with some sort of long-range rifle

ok i have no idea if this has been done before. if so i apologize. i was wondering what my fellow ATS'ers would have as their primary weapon in a zombie attack. i know mine would be the fireman's axe. nice reach with it. make a awesome tool too. plus the spike for 1 hit kills in the head.

The best weapon is strong legs. Really, your best bet in a zombie apocalypse is to get the hell away from them.

The people who tangle with them in melee will not survive...even if they make Rambo look like a cub scout. Why? Because, assuming it's contagious enough to make such a scenario, then all the blood splatter from your messy axes, crowbars, swords, etc. will eventually ensure YOU become one too.

Get out, get high up (though with an escape path) and out of reach, and stay supplied, and wait it out until they rot so much they no longer can walk.

The best way to actually take one out would be from a distance, and quietly (so you don't attract more). Such weapons take a LOT of skill though, to do a headshot, even on a shambling corpse, so again, best bet is to simply run away.

I love this thread! Since most of best weaponry has already been mentioned, I'm going to choose a fully stocked sailboat with room for survivors. I bet they could walk in & under the water to get us, but they'd have to think to do that, and we wouldn't stay by the shore for long. Hopefully we wouldn't spread the zombie contagion to other shores, accidentally of course.

A Zombie is no match for my Judo chop

They will start to blame you,when they dont get every thing they want.

crossbow with fire bolts. i'll probably use the terrain to my advantage. lay down paper, lantern oil, kerosine, dried bones, in a pattern so that when it draws zombies in i'll need one oil rag bolt, and an area large enough to funnel them into a large pit with fecal covered spikes so that they rot back to being soil. before putting spikes in you might want to put down a layer of lyme. in the movie 300 we see the strategy of the persoian army "supplying the mortar" for a wall. defending a large area against zombies is difficult, but with the mass scale application of guerrilla warfare and means of predicting the winds, and using that, you can wipe out zombies by the regiment (2.5 hundred- 5000) depending on your main objective. the one described just above was for defense of a hypothetical outpost with flat terrain, possible rolling hills, zombies don't get in at all costs. pits are a weapon against zombies,
