Effective zombie survival weapons

The zombie apocalypse will be similar to any other emergency situation, with the added danger of people turning into zombies and killing you (as if things wouldn’t be bad enough).  I won’t get into a giant list of all possible survival items; instead, I’ll concentrate on the extra things needed for fending off the zombies.  

Weapons

While guns are not available to most people, depending on where you live, you will still need weapons if you are to defend yourself successfully from a zombie attack.

• Rifle:  Preferably an AK-47 as these weapons are the most reliable out of all modern assault rifles.
• Shotgun:  The Benelli Super Black Eagle II is very reliable, easy to clean and can take the punishment of being on the move.
• Handgun:  By far the most reliable handgun for being on the move is the Browning Buck Mark .22 as it offers very little recoil and can stand up to the pressure of a survival situation.
• Archery Bow:  The SAS Siege Compound Bow should do a good job at killing zombies while also providing a very handy hunting weapon.  Just make sure you have plenty of arrows.  This weapon should be legal in most countries around the world.
• Crossbow:  The Barnett Youth 30 Compound Crossbow is very powerful but compared to a compound bow they are very slow to load.  In some countries, crossbows are classified the same as guns and require a license.

 

Hand-to-hand combat weapons

Never underestimate the importance of good close-quarter weapons.  It doesn’t matter how well armed you are, if the zombies get too close you will have to resort to these weapons.

• Hatchet:  The ASR Camping Axe is nice and compact and comes with a cord cutter and holes in the blade making is a handy wrench if you need one.
• Machete:  The Gerber Gator Machete is strong and durable with the added bonus of having a serrated edge on one side for cutting.

Whatever weapon(s) you choose, be sure to stock as much ammo as possible.  You never know if you will be able to get more at a later stage.

• Chuck Norris

The common theme in movies and TV shows is that if a zombie bites you it will spread the virus which will turn you into one of them very quickly.  The exact opposite occurs with Chuck, if a zombie bites him it is the zombie that will turn into another Chuck Norris.   If a zombie bites Chuck Norris the zombie will turn into another Chuck Norris.
