In many movies and games, the top two weapons that feature most are really the shotgun and the chainsaw. If in a zombie outbreak which one would you reach for?

depends how much ammo you have, but probably the shotgun. a chainsaw can run out of gas and stall or you caould get zombie blood in you eye or mouth and become a zombie.

In terms of practicality, shotgun. In terms of pure fun, chainsaw.

Shotgun. Real life shotguns have pretty good range. With chainsaws, you have to be up close, giving you a higher chance of getting bit. Also, if you run out of ammo, the butt of the shotgun can suffice.

Shotgun; far-ranged and and safer. Chainsaw is dangerous and risky, especially when there's a lot of zombies. Also, there is a chance you can infect yourself.

A chainsaw would be pretty much useless.

Shotgun is mid range and can be reloaded fairly easy

Read the zombie survival guide. Chainsaws are no good.

Shotgun, with a chainsaw you need to get close to the Zombies with a shotgun you just blast them.

Chainsaw is pretty much useless. You'll get killed faster than without a weapon.

Shotgun is okay, but still not a good choice.

like I said, grav. gun off Half-Life 2, you have a very adaptable weapon+distance. Now if they were real zombies I would just run, if I couldn't, I would kill myself before they got to me.

If you chose shotgun you would have to stock up on truck loads of ammo. Chainsaw would eventually ran out of gas or break.

In Max Brooks's universe, definitely the shotgun.

Zombie goo + human = zombie

In the universe of Badass, definitely both, i.e. Evil Dead.
