id personally carry a .22 rifle. because ammo is light and you can find it pretty much anywhere. it may not have as much range but it can still penetrate a skull and rattle itself around and scramble the brains.

.30-06 is far less available than 7.62, unless you're somehow out in the hinterlands where they sell it as gas stations. How will 9MM ball not cut it? It'll kill you, dead. Less fatigue, faster rate of fire, better follow up shots. A .22 rifle is too low a caliber. I think you could probably weather a shot to the face from a .22.

out of all my guns. I would grab the one that ammo is easiest to carry and find. So with that in mind
.22
9mm
.45
5.56
7.62(well maybe not at this present time)
12 gauge

I agree other guns and round would perform better but Where the hell are you going to find .357 sig and other exotic rds during a Zombie invasion

And  a sword or AXE wouldnt be a bad 3rd level backup

My dads .22 would not be reliable as it jams about 1 in 7 rounds. But I agree, you cant miss with a good .22.  What would you need all that extra energy for, if you miss the head the shot was wasted anyways.  Your not going to knock your target down with anything less than a headshot.

Only other reason for a larger caliber would be for range and for those living combatants.  A machete would be nice, it is very versitile. Which reminds me, I have one that that was my uncles but I have to find at my parents place.

The emergency zombie load out

1. Glock simply because they arnt very care intensive

2. Survival Knife and an Axe (axe for fire wood and all that shit)

3. M1 Garand or a .22 Rimfire cause there light relaible and the ammo is everywere

4. Shotguns Also very situational so i dont think i would carry one

5. Some kind of Load Bearing Sack for the transportation of my goods

6. Motor Cycle or a Regualr vehicle (this one is very situational)

Hell, if the plague turns everyone but me and the Swedish Bikini Team into moronic, cannibal zombies, I'll just lock myself in a secret classified-documents room at Davis Monthan, read up all the tech manuals on A-10 'Hogs, get my new sweeties  :? to load up the fuel, 500 pounders and gat gun, and go shred some nasty zombie ass.

Then, back to the Swedish Bikini Team, after stopping at Circle K for some brew and Funyuns....

Hooah.

That is the absolute worst zombie survival plan I have ever seen.  There is no way I would ever follow a plan like that.  It's completely idiotic!  

Anyone with a functioning brain would take Zingers instead of Funyuns.

This thread is stupid...with that out of my guns I would take
Glock 19, why because I can hit shit with it
AR15, why, because you don't need a machine shop to work on it, just hand tools.(dissasembling the reciever/barrel and such)
Remington 870, w/ buckshot and some bolo

and if zombies do attack, ill just become one, and not worry about this shit.

I would have to dissagree with you Vince.  Almost every Walmart, and any gunshop will have .30-06.  Whereas 7.62x51 is a bit harder to come by.

I might have inferior taste in bagged, high-fructose corn syrup snacks, but at least I'll have plenty of nookie.. High five.

Still why is everyone wanting to take an M1 with them? It'd really be better if you took a hunting rifle with a scope if you want a .30-06 .

i would definetally carry my hatchet. because i can repetedly hit a 1 ft square at about 20-30 ft. and because you can use it to chop wood and chop heads.
you would really want to carry a bladed weapon with you because if you get too close or run out of ammo, your gonna want somethin to take out a few of the undead.

my favorite recorded attack is one where some chick took out 12 or so  zombies with a m1 carbine in 12 seconds.

i would carry a .22 rifle, prolly the same but in a pistol(same ammo=good), my hatchet, and a machete or a katana.
