Dire warnings of the apocalypse mistaken for prank
StaedlerMars:
All you really need is a chainsaw for a hand.
supersheep:
Primary weapon: Running away.
Secondary weapon: Running away, but faster.
Seriously, using weapons is pretty much something I would only expect to do as I was dying. If there was anything more than an hour's warning, I'd much rather get a fuckload of tinned food, stock up on water, go home, start reinforcing every possible entranceway, and trust to the grilles over the windows and the strength of the metal front door to save me. Grabbing the closest thing I could find to a hooligan bar would be my only other concern.
Chances are I'm dead, though. I mean, if you are worried about the Zombocalypse, do not live in a city!

Edit: ignore me, I'm a page behind the times.

Also if its fast zombies your up against? Head for the sea and live on an oil rig, they will burn out faster than your usual shufflers.

Lighter? I doubt that, are you thinking of a full-sized shovel? I'm talking about those ones you see in pouches on someone's web gear. 2.5 pounds at most, for an all-steel model. Longer reach, sure, but you are going to have to tote it around a back-up weapon needs to be small. Not really worried about using both ends.
Melodic: How about a PS90 for a primary in the place of the MP7? Not as compact, but it is civilian-accessible, and the round is similar. I'm pretty sure it was either designed for zombies, or an uprising of armored squirrels. Ammo still isn't hugely common, but it is much more common than 4.6. Also, if you have a reloading station, it uses the same bullets as 5.56, just have a bag under the ejection port so you don't lose your brass. The fully-loaded magazine is only a pound, as well, with 50 rounds loaded. If you can get to some decent facilities, you could saw off the extra barrel length and re-attach the flash-hider/barrel threading, get it down to P90 size. Again, that would be illegal, but like I said, if you are getting charged for illegally making a class III weapon, you have won, because zeds don't bother with that stuff. Only downside is that it wouldn't be good for bashing heads.
The issue with having a horse is that it can be bitten, a car can't. You could cover it in leather like you should be covering yourself, which would make it better, but it still wouldn't be as good when the shit hits the fan as a car, preferably one with a high torque engine. Maybe a Diesel, Diesel tends to last longer than gasoline, anyway. A horse would be good for moving around close to your base, when the zombies haven't been seen near by your lookouts. A horse would be fine when there isn't a swarm, it would also be quiet enough you might notice the zombies before they notice you. If you have to bug out, though, take the car. Do the horse a favor and kill it before you leave, and destroy it's brain. It will be more pleasant for the horse than being eaten alive, and you won't have to worry about being chased by a zombie horse.
Josefbugman:
They are more cutty, the normal ones have a tendency to be somewhat clunky, though I would probably use the normal shovel as, you know, I don't really have the proper one.
Also, the others longer reach and the fact that it was partially designed as weaponry should probably prove more useful than your standard (excuse the pun) garden variety spade.
