Firearm of Choice for Zombie Outbreak

I can just instantly kill zombies by telling them that they are a jojo reference. If that doesn't work, then I'll scream in terror. Then if I'm still alive after the screaming, I'll be a clever bat and use what the environment gives me.

If I knew that a 9mm to the head was a guaranteed kill I would probably take a Glock or a CZ. If anything you're probably gonna find 9mm the most out and about. A longer end barrel Beretta m92 looks sick though haha.

Shotgun, cant go wrong with shotgun. Great crowd control, effective damage, ensures im not wasting ammo, the only issue is its not the most common gun so finding ammo may or may not be hard. Probably go with a saiga 12 or one of the faster semi auto shotguns.

I have little to no practical knowledge when it comes to firearms, or the maintenance and care one must put in to keeping them in working order past an apocalypse. Maybe a military grade sling shot, as I would need something with abundantly assessable ammo to allow me to train my aim. Truth is though, with my skill set, you'd want me on close quarter combat. Throw me in some padded gamberson to protect my arms and legs, then stick a medieval billhook in my hands. It may not be a pretty weapon, but it was a practical choice for the peasantry, because it was easy to maintain and use. We find somewhere to bottleneck them. I'll take a knee and brace against their charge, holding the line, you spray the bullets. I've played enough HVZ to know how stupid people get when 45 unarmed individuals come charging at them. Seen a lot of hardass competitive nerf pros get torn apart because they never cultivated the nerves to hold their ground, or even how to make a strategic withdraw and peal back smoothly. So you'd want someone who can stay frosty under pressure between them and you. https://images1.bonhams.com/image?src=Images/live/2019-05/01/94631591-13-1.jpg

@hell_hound7 Normally I would agree with you about the shotgun, but the problem is there are two issues. First is loadout. Shotgun shells are generally large and heavy. You run into the issue of having enough ammunition. Second is range. You can probably get solid effective range out to about 50m before the shotgun really loses it's advantages. Which gives you precious little time to react to a zombie horde in finding an escape route or fighting them off in time. If you are clearing out a building for use as a base, the shotgun has no equal and is ideal. Saiga 12 or a USAS-12 are the best bet for this. Just make sure you have a full load shell. Many birdshot rounds don't have enough power to cycle the bolt properly and you end up having to manually cycle the bolt which would be a nightmare.
