@Brovo Oh boohoo. Who cares if it's "not the best weapon" in real life? This is supposed to be a fun thread- I don't care if you don't think it's not the best weapon. I've seen how they move- they're awesome and I would love to take down a zombie with a huge ass scythe any day! XP
Well it is a debate thread though, so we're kind of supposed to criticize other people's weapons of choice@Brovo Oh boohoo. Who cares if it's "not the best weapon" in real life?

I'd like to see what you guys choose in terms of projectile weapons and firearms.
For projectile weapons I'd probably go with aI know I said guns would be scarce, but they wouldn't be nonexistent.

In terms of non-firearm? Bow, as I said earlier, for the same reasons as I said earlier. Specifically a mechanical bow because you can triple (or even quadruple) the effective draw strength. (ex: 50 pound draw strength is actually 150 pounds of force when fired. That's a huge advantage considering greater draw strength equates to less accuracy since your arm will shake trying to hold it. Unless you're under-drawing, in which case, naughty naughty, that'll ruin your bow in short order.)I know I said guns would be scarce, but they wouldn't be nonexistent.
I have to disagree.I wouldn't expect a 22 rifle to do anything to anyone unless you were snuggling up to them. I work with people who've been shot in the ass with a .223 and walked out of the woods. Drunk hunting is never safe. I understand the mobility associated with a pistol and the weight for a 22, but the power in the 22 isn't really there. You'd be better off to get an AR or other variant that fires 9mm rounds. That way you have plentiful ammo with a decent punch and marginally better accuracy than a short barrel pistol. Personally I prefer the punch packed by larger caliber rounds like the 5.56 and 7.62 and as much as I'd want to use a GPMG it's unrealistic. It'd be awesome though. However, something like my aforementioned Tar-21 packs a punch, is light, and because of the bullpup construction is shorter than most traditional AR style rifles. .223 rounds are safe to be fired in a 5.56 chamber because the only true difference is the lead into the barrel for pressurization meaning you get two types of bullets you can use, a military surplus 5.56 and a hunting .223 both of which are some of the most available rounds out there that can kill something at 300 meters or farther time after time.
I think I found my slightly-less-evil twin.The go to answer by the book, not even lying here, is a crowbar or axe. Both are great bludgeoning tools and are fantastic at opening doors or other things that need to be opened, ie zombies heads. Nonetheless! I will always stick by my M4 No1 Enfield. Ammo scarcity is irrelevant because I can't get bullets for the damn thing now. But I mean it's from 1941 and cycles rounds better than a IWI Tar-21 so I can't just say no to it.
