Dire warnings of the apocalypse mistaken for prank

jodizzle:
I completely just imagined Harry outside of Cory's bathroom going "Open the dooooor. It won't be so baaaad".

I don't want to, but the voices are so pervasive.

No chance deadhead.

The problem with a pistol is that it isn't a rifle. The ammo is also pretty heavy, as ammo goes. The lack of a stock is a problem, and the short sight radius is as well. Unless you are Todd Jarrett or Jerry Miculek, grab a rifle. But you know what? They would go for a rifle first, as well.

I have been convinced that the best weapon for the zombocalypse is an AKS-74U (or semi-auto clone). Actually, the best weapon for the zombocalypse would be an orbital nuke, that is the only way to make sure, but I would have difficulties finding an orbital nuke.

A hunting rifle (depending on the caliber) uses larger rounds than you need, weighs more than you need it to weigh, and the bolt action is not an advantage, no matter what Max Brooks says. Unless you are at extremely long ranges, but if that is the case, you probably don't need to be shooting the zombie. The AKS-74U is light, less than 6 pounds empty, all steel and wood, ammo is all over the place (in the US, and other places with relatively lax gun laws), but not in high demand, because everyone "knows" that for combat, 5.56 is better. It doesn't matter when you have to get headshots anyway, though. Ammo is lightweight, the gun is accurate enough to get headshots out to about 200 meters or yards, and the tube steel stock is capable of bashing heads in better than a polymer stock. Not as good as an old world-war vintage rifle for bashing, but that would be much heavier, use heavier ammo, might be bolt action, and would have less ammo capacity.

For a hand-to-hand weapon, I'd want something small, blunt, and heavy. Maybe a hatchet of some sort, with something over the blade? Then you would be able to cut wood, skin and butcher animals if necessary, and have a nice back-up weapon as well, if you have screwed up and lost your gun.

What I would want most, though, is a bunker with a backup generator, a backup backup generator, a garden, solar panels, wind turbines, truly ridiculous amounts of ammo, enough MREs to feed a dozen people for a few years, enough water to last for years (possibly an underground water source? Would need some sort of filtration method to avoid virus contamination), possibly a big tank of diesel (how long does diesel last? I know gas only lasts 6 months before it starts to run very dirty) and air scrubbers.

edit: Oh, and I forgot another thing about the 74U. In case of nazi zombies, the 5.45 steelcore will go through their helmets like they weren't even there. So would most modern rifle rounds, but pistols would just make a gonging sound. Funny, but ineffective.

Blue Kitty:
People are, "99100 percent sure it is not," viral marketing for Resident Evil 5.

Dazed:
Hand to hand, I'd like a solidly built machete. I think I'd probably try to hide out on one of the harbor islands close by. There's a wicked current running through Hull gut that would make it very difficult for any zombies to reach the island I have in mind.
