I usually use the assault rifle in Left4Dead.Engrish_Major

Against zombies? Shotygun!!

I somehow feel a claymore would be more fun :P

I voted sub-machine-gun. Shotguns are slow. Assault rifles will just poke little holes in the zombies. Imagine the amount of damage you could do with a Thompson.

Brick.

Assault rifle for me. 8)

i think rockville town center is where i'd least like to first go in the event of a zombie apocalypse >_> my wife sucks at fps unfortunately. I will probably have to put her down right away just to be safe.Jandurin

Tell me if you need help with your wife in that event.

Plump her up a bit... that way it will look like an accident when she falls behind.

AA 12 with frag 12 rounds > all guns.

What about an assault shotgun? Yes, shotguns that were designed to be used for assault are refered to asassault shotguns. Just like rifles that were designed to be used for assault are assault rifles.

Anything that is fully automatic and sub sized in comparison to belt fed machine gunis... a sub-machinegun. Type of ammunition isn't relevant. An M16 doesn't qualify as alight machinegun because it'snot heavy enough. It's sub weight & sub sizedin comparison others. It's both a rifle and a sub machine gun. Just like the MP5 is a carbine which is a short rifle. Therefore it's both a rifle and a sub machine gun. And since it was designed for assault that make it a assault rifle.

I wouldn't choose a shotgun because the ammunition is way too heavy. .223/5.56x45mm is very powerful ammunition and it's very light. about 60 rounds of .233 weights the same as 5 shotgun shells. So one of those full auto AR-15 pistols would be great. You know the one with the 9 inch barrel and cut reciever. The one that makes the MP5A2 & A4 look like and over-sized piece of 9mm junk.

All I need is a good ol' double barrel to blast some zombies back to hell.

Assault rifle of course, pros like me need some aiming. But I gotta admit the shotgun is cooler.

I'd choose the assault rifle and set it to single-shot or semi-auto mode depending on the rifle.

Sub machine. I'm not a weapons expert and sub machine is easiest to use. Too bad they go through their magazine in like 2 secs.

The greatest weapon ever concieved by man.

Zombie scenarios are stupid anyway. How do zombies overrun a society when people have defeated forces that were actually hard to kill. Using small arms against a large numbers of opposition is pointless. You break out the grenades. Mortared grenades, rocket proppelled grenades, hand thrown grenades mined grenades. A grenadier has all of the goodtoys. To hell with fragmation go with the airburst and concusion.

The only reason low powered machine guns exists is because when they were first designeddevelopers didn't have the technology to build a sub machine gun that could tolerate high powered ammo and that's why the 7.62x62 was cut down to a 7.62x51 so the M14 could be a high powered rifleand still fire high powered rounds on full auto. Same reason why the AK has a cut down round. Same reason why .30 caliber is no longer the standard in assaultriflecaliber. It's now .22 more specifically .223 A.K.A 5.56x45mm NATO. With Rounds such as this you can have a high powered rifle and sub machine gun all in one device. No more need for a rifle or carbinethat chamberspistol ammunition.

The assault rifles of the time such as the M1 Garand and Mauser supported rounds that were just too powerful to be fired full auto in a rifle that light. Machine pistols and pistol caliber sub machine guns still exists for special purpose. They are easy to use with one hand if you are a vehicle or aircraft operator. Theammunition islow velocity so there is no risk of collateral damage. The round stops when it it hits something. During one time the Special Forces favored the MP5 because it was the lightest most compact carbine they could find and a lot of their work hadthe sameparameters as SWAT missions. Hostage rescues.

not really so stupid. A city with a population 150k people can yield 75k zombies in a matter of hours.

So yes, they are stupid, but this is offset by the fact they "reproduce" so quickly.

Add to this the fact that you need a headshot to kill them, and they are a persistant, tough foe to kill.

I agree with the idea of explosives and mortors, etc, though

I'm great with any weapon but I'm a shotgun guy.
