Re: Weapon of choice for a zombie apocalypse
Mr. Surveyor, then you must be familiar with the ultimate line cutter, the brush-hook. Now THAT's a zombie slayer...but definitely one that requires stamina on the wielder's part.

Why a Machete is Best for a Zombie Apocalypse
Okay, I went with the 12 gauge shotgun, but the very best weapon for a Zombie invasion is a machete. You have to totally obliterate the grey matter or separate the noggin' from the shoulders to permanently take out a Zombie. Head shots from anything but a shotgun will only put them down for about five minutes; there are too many synapses left intact which simply reroute the electrical hunger signals if you don't scramble things up good enough.
And if you're a college kid, you need to be sure and wear hiking boots with lots of ankle support...everyone knows that college kids will ALWAYS fall and twist their ankles when they run from old fashioned Zombies...especially if you are female and scantily clad and are running from the slow but persistent ones which equates to a really long chase scene.
If the Zombies are the modern super-fast ones there's no point in running, you have to stand and fight.
Zombies aren't smart enough to use guns, so there's not much need for long range weaponry when they are going to get within grappling distance by sheer numbers anyway. Hence the machete...it never runs out of ammo or gas.
