While planning what to take with you is essential, you also know that you will want some sort of weapon, and most agree that the best weapon is some form of gun; it's ranged, powerful, and doesn't use energy. But what guns are the best? With so much to choose from out there, it's easy to get something that you think will do, only to find out it lets you down. So... ill start with what guns i would take and of course why.
1. Handgun: if i said that there was one handgun everyone should have in case of a zombie apocalypse, i would be lying. but there are certain things to look for in a handgun. you want something that is relatively powerful, please no .22lr, simply wont do much. i would go for something with high capacity, like a FiveseveN (though im not sure it would stop a zombie in its tracks with its 5.7mm cartridge), and with decent stopping power (think .40 S&W or .50 ACP), and you want something that is easy to maintain. so i would go with a Kimber or ParaOrdnance 1911 in 40S&W instead of .50ACP due to weight of ammo, (with hi cap mags) and a FiveseveN chambered in 5.7mm with upgraded 30rd mags. I also recommend glocks (easy to find replacement parts, easy to handle, easy to maintain, etc) or sig sauer P226 (or most sigs), but really, its up to you.
2. Rifle: this is your main weapon, so you want something that is easy to use, has decent range and accuracy, and uses ammo that isnt heavy. I like the AR15 platform (im american, so im biased), but anything chambered in 5.56 NATO, 6.8 SPC, or 6.5 Grendel should work. .30cal weapons (like the AK, the m14, etc.) are great weapons, but i dont like the weight of the gun and the ammo, so i wouldnt use them (but some people dont mind, so its up to you). you also want something that is either easy to maintain or maintenance-free. while they are expensive and hard to find, HK 416s are excellent - weapon of choice if i could have anything. or an FN SCAR-L. continued below.
