Now this chapter is entirely up to you , the book says the rifle ,but some say the shotgun is the best in the world. The machine gun is almost the worst gun to pick because it's lack of headshots and the fact it sucks in ammo like a vacuum cleaner.
the shotgun is entirely different case , its shells are heavy when your carrying hundreds of those , but its head splattering capacity is unbeatable , so its good when the time comes.
semi automatic rifle (ex. mauser 98k , or any good old 7mm) are the best for range, accuracy, kill ratio,and head-splattering action. The pistol is should and only be used as a back-up weapon, theirs multiple reasons ,like the fact its hard to aim,low magizine capacity and the fact it sucks at range, makes the pistol as crappity as crap gets.

Ok, about your comment that machine guns are bad for lack of head shots, that is stupid. If you are a good shot, you will hit the head. An LMG accurately fired in bursts is more dangerous that any other weapon (against groups). Since zombies never hunt alone, a bolt action is relatively useless, a shotgun good, but still you're gonna be let down when 50 odd zombies run at you. A modified .22 automatic with 100 round drum loaded with.22 long rifle (NOT short rounds) has virtually no kickback, is light, ammo easy to find and can fire for long time without needing reload. Also, .22's need little repair and cleaning, and are easy to find.

a shotgun is an awfull weapon against zombies for its lack of aim and that it shoots shots, you also have to reload it more often. iow if you run out of ammo on your turn to be rambo, your screwed.

Obviously never handled a shotgun, have you? It's nothing like it is in call of duty. In fact, they are pretty accurate. Not like a rifle, of course, but it won't spray apart a bunch if you're just 10 feet away.

Note to everyone about this instructable, COD doesn't protect you from zombies, basic survival skill and knowledge and practice with a firearm does however.

Correct, A tight choke barrel firing #00 buckshot would be very lethal, provided you aim around the head area. The use of a solid slug in a rifled shotgun barrel would provide excellent accuracy aswell.
zombiesurvival in reply to pokerstud001Oct 3, 2010. 6:15 AM
ive handeld multiple shotguns, and if i was killing zombies, i would use a high
powerd rifle, or a 22 because a 22 will go into the skull and bounce around shreding the brain, and it can shoot a mile
repear9 (author) in reply to zombiesurvivalOct 14, 2010. 5:09 AM
yes this is true, but the range where it can penetrate a human/zombie skull is considerably less than a mile range, try about the same range a shotgun could disable about, oh FIVE ZOMBIES!
pokerstud001 in reply to repear9Oct 31, 2010. 4:47 PM
Yeah, deer slugs are beastly
zombiesurvival in reply to repear9Oct 17, 2010. 11:00 AM
if u are good at this type of thing, a hunting bow would be a good choise cause its next to silent
zombiesurvival in reply to repear9Oct 17, 2010. 10:58 AM
good point, but, a shotgun would only wound them,u would have 2 shoot them wultiple times before they died (again) lol, plus the shot gun is loud and zombies are atracted to sound, other guns are loud 2, but not like a shotgun.
repear9 (author) in reply to zombiesurvivalOct 20, 2010. 8:45 AM
although i could say the shotgun is one of the loudest, that wouldn't be accurate....
The ultimate Zombie-slaying firearm, The M-1 Garand, possibly is the most loudest gun to fire simply because of it's cartridge, the 30-06 is about twice as long as the Ak-47 round, and about twice as lethal, its nick-name in WW2 was the "two-man-killer" because the round itself has the power to pass through the target and kill a another target.

this is great, but most stores don't stock 30-06, because its such a big round, and almost all stores that sell ammunition wouldn't fail to stock 12 gauge buckshot.

ive got to call B.S. go to any walmart and you can buy as many rounds as you want all day long i know b/c that is my primary/hunting rifle(sighted in at 1in drop at 300yd )and around october-november most of the time you dont even have to ask a sales manager, they put them out on a shelf.
zombiesurvival in reply to repear9Oct 21, 2010. 9:24 AM
yeah, true, a machine gun is on of the worst choices becaus of the fact that they are illigal in the public so ther is no way u could find ammo, a shot gun would be awsome, WOULD, the only thing is, if you run out of ammo on your turn to be "legend" (i am legend) yuor screwed, mabie as a sideweapon though
repear9 (author) in reply to zombiesurvivalOct 25, 2010. 5:11 AM
well your partially true, it depends on the machine gun, if its a squad automatic weapon, or also known as the saw, it uses the .223 Remington, which isn't that uncommon, and anyway my primary is a mossberg 9-shot shotgun and a .454 cassual taurus revolver with 7 shot....

i don't think you know what the .454 is, but it is one of the most biggest revovler rounds, this thing can put a grizzly bear into hades, just to give you an idea of its power...
zombiesurvival in reply to repear9Apr 7, 2011. 5:30 PM
a 300wsm will kill anything in america, i bet they culd kill a zombie too, but they r rlly frikin loud
Fred the evil puppet in reply to zombiesurvivalJun 17, 2011. 12:14 PM
Dude, if you can get your hands on a metalstorm, you'd be taking out continents filled with zombies, man! (but, at 1,000,000 rounds per second, god help the ammo store)
jellybean10122 in reply to repear9Oct 29, 2010. 9:44 AM
The SAW isn't a weapon, it is a class of weapon. The weapon I think you are referring to is the m249, which is chambered in 5.56/.223, and is the American armies' current Squad Automatic Weapon.There are plenty of SAW's which are chambered in larger rounds, with one of the first SAW's, the m1919 browning being chambered in .30 browning.
repear9 (author) in reply to jellybean10122Oct 29, 2010. 12:03 PM
yeah sorry about that, the only S.A.W. i knew was the Rpk.......the Rpk is the zombie fuckulator as we all know....

(Note: I'm making a new Instructable about this hotly debatable topic about zombies, anyway the Rpk Is a AK Squad Automatic weapon, it is about as awesome as it is hard to come by in the U.S.A. that is if you don't know where to look)

Thanks jellybean for informing me about more gun-knowledge!
zombiesurvival in reply to repear9Oct 25, 2010. 6:16 AM
my primary wold be either a 44 cal or a nerf gun (lol), my secondary would be a 12 gauge shotgun, or a nine mil, both easy to find ammo for and pretty powrful...
zombiesurvival in reply to zombiesurvivalOct 25, 2010. 6:18 AM
then, when push comes to shove and im forced into mellie i would use a crowbar or a mechetee
Fred the evil puppet says: Jun 17, 2011. 12:09 PM
Get a Barrett 50. Cal. Extremely powerful, (enough to peirce a tank! Woa!!) extreme range, but heavy. But, if in doubt, psg1 or L96A1.
DannytheGreat in reply to Fred the evil puppetJun 28, 2011. 11:36 AM
first of all where the hell are you gonna get one or afford one, and you only need something to get through the skull so just a .22 will work
Fred the evil puppet in reply to DannytheGreatJun 28, 2011. 12:14 PM
Where do you think you get one? Nowhere! That is why you don't!
But if somehow you do have one, very very handy.

To put all arguments to bed I will like to make such an outrageous statement, that you should only comment in awe. For background I have read the Zombie Survival Guide at least 3 times so far. I reference it when ever i wonder what would i need to do if i wanted to go completely off the grid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gun talk: The arthur made a valid point about SMGs, and their tendency to waste ammo.In trained hands the weapon you are most proficient in wheater it be a pistol or some form of melee weapon would be your best bet. Although different situations may call for a different weapon. If you can get a headshot(HS) while fearing for you life then good for you. But if you need to knock the zombie down then follow up with a HS, wouldn't a larger calibre be better? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How many average people, or casual gamers for that matter know you should exhale, hold, then fire to better adjust your aim? This is what a drill sergeant taught me but it may not work for everyone. Also imagine a zombie outbreak and the average civilian runs into a gun store to loot his or her primary protection. If their protection jams will they have enough time to figure out how to rectify the problem before they travel to the void? If you don't know what your doing find a weapon that "never jams" but eh that's not me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Favourite weapons - My favorite weapon is the SR-25 with the AA-12 coming in second. In a long term situation I do not think this will work. For i lack the knowledge and skill to do repairs and creation of the necessary ammo. With that in mind I will protect myself in the way I know best. A bow(utterly silent), maybe a crossbow but I dislike them greatly. For bolts and arrows I can make and repairs will not be as difficult as it is on modern weapons. Sure there is going to be a learning curve for some people, but the long term value is more then worth the reward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CQC - With a pointy stick you can never go wrong. Anything that a requires a single swift movement to fell a foe whether it be a hammer, hatchet. If they are close enough to bite i want something small that needs to be close enough to kill. There is a sword I want that is here on instructables. The Liquid Blade of the Three Deserts, for it's usefulness and beauty I am sure I can harness. Also if you turn it around it's a pointy stick.http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Liquid-Blade-of-the-Three-Deserts/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be utterly safe I must embrace the words Ripley from alien. Leave the site and Nuke it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCbfMkh940Q ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for reading it this far down. I had a lot to get off my mind in this regard.
DannytheGreat in reply to sonicx059Jun 28, 2011. 11:43 AM
the sr-25 is a crappy choice because everything based on the ar15 is notorious for jamming, but the aa-12 was designed to be cleaned with just soap and water, but then again the zombie survival guide says automatics are bad
zombiesurvival in reply to sonicx059Apr 7, 2011. 5:27 PM
a 22. is best, lotsa ammo, and great peircing abilitys, i do no that in fact, u do exhale or hold ur breath, BASIC TIP shoot zombie in head, zombie cant eat u if u make him dead(this goes for all who dont know what they r doing) in an apocalips, my fav weapon would be a 22. or a 300wsm, botth great weapon, if u get a 22. for when this happens, get a bolt action plinker, they r cheap and just about every guy that was a "real boy" has one. if u can get to a bass pro shop then u will live! in an apocalips... never mind i write instructable check me out!
lop145 in reply to sonicx059Feb 3, 2011. 2:06 PM
just about all of you are a bunch of very lucky people i live in holland an the best thing i can get my hands on is a BB gun.
witch leaves me to rely on melee and my ability to make explosives (witch is not very great but i know how to make gunpowder, flashpowder and thermite)
zombiesurvival in reply to lop145Apr 7, 2011. 5:27 PM
explosives suck against zombies, so stick to meelee

The AR-15 is the god rifle of zombie huntintg. -The most common rifle in the U.S. -Semi-auto only. -Highly Accurate. -5.56 is the best zombie round (lots of bullet tumble, accurate, extremely lightweight, extremely common). -Easily maintained
repear9 (author) in reply to canis_lupusOct 20, 2010. 8:50 AM
NO, YES, NO NO AND NO!!!!
ar-15 isn't the best rifle out their, it's actually by far the worst, its accurate in only trained hands and its round by the way is equally as common as the AK-round, the only reason you see terrorist's missing with a ak-47 is because of its enormous kick, if your strong enough you can actually get great accuracy with the ak.....and as far as i know the ar-15 sucks to be maintained....
Mattonater in reply to canis_lupusMay 24, 2010. 5:29 PM
dont forget it jams

Not necessarily... that is basic rifle knowledge.
