A trend: Most people who suggest sniper rifles couldn't fire a .22LR accuratly.
Most people who suggest a katana or such couldn't successfully cut a tomato.
Here's the reality of the zombie attack:Those of you that choose to fight with these exotic weapons will either die from lack of skills, or die when you run out of ammo.Those of you like myself who grab a few weapons that take popular ammo and bug the hell out will survive.
To that end, here's my loadout, and why:
Melee: Cold Steel War Hammer: no real melee skills required, just pick an end to use!
Backup: Two of the most common pistol rounds are the .40 S&W (tons of police) and the 9mm Luger (miltary). To that end, I'll take my FNP 40 in .40 S&W, and my soon to be aquired subcompact XD in 9mm.
The shotgun: Single most important anti-zombie device. 12 gauge, pump or auto. Any good model will work. I'm partial to FN, so the SLP Tactical it is!
There is only one choice for a rifle:An AR-15 variant. I'd probably use a flat-top variant with an ACOG or similar low power sight. 18" or 16" barrel. Why? Sniping zombies is a bad idea. If you're far enough away that the 5.56 can't be of use, then you don't need to shoot them!
So basically, for zombies, it's 9mm, .40 S&W, 12ga, and 5.56mm. Any weapon in those calibers would probably be a good choice.
Oh, and if you REALLY want a sniper rifle: .30-06 or .308 are your prudent options.
