check out my tactical list here: http://www.amazon.com/lm/RSDETWZR6U8...dp_lm_all_itms
You guys have a ton of good ideas, some bad, but all are YOUR suggestions so I'll respect them.
in my Zombieverse, I'm not going to carry any weapon that I'll have a hard time finding ammo for. 9mm is the most common and has enough variations and grains to do what you need them to do.
In the case of the Behemoths.. yes, a 7.62 or .50 cal would drop it. They're made to pass through stuff and get to the bad guys.
My ideal weapons set up would go like this:
1. Hide out. .308 Rifle for M16 for picking them off at a distance. Gives survivors a chance to get to you or gives your scavenger team less to worry about as they head out.
2. Scavenger. Shotgun with 15 inch barrel. Two bandalier. One of slugs and the other with buckshot. That way you can customize per situation. .40 Glock for any human pests (Maller type) that wanna get squirrly. My trusty crowbar or a Machette.
Here's the real skinny on weapons though. Any hunter, cop or military who's fired a gun will tell you that target shooting is WAY different that shooting a moving target. Theoretically, the only way to stop a zombie with with a head shot. The human head is only about 10 inches high. Add movement (yours or its), fatigue, fear and lack of training to that and you have a nigh impossible target to hit.
A shotgun with buckshot gives you a better chance to hit the head by just pointing in that direction. The next best thing is a blunt metalic object like.. ahem.. a crow bar or this beast here:

The thing about a long blunt object is that even zombies have to respect physics. Mass + Speed= Kenetic energy.
Lets just say all you had in your hands was a "Me". hehe. sorry.. a crowbar.. if you hit a zombie in the chest, it's going to fall. That's all you need it to do for you to get away. Bones will break if you hit them in their outstreatch arms. They can't grab you if their arms are busted.
A hammer is going to be too short, but again, if that's all you have, then it's all you have. it'll take multiple hits to damage the skull
An axe isn't a good idea because they tend to get stuck. The best thing to use is anything that equals the length of your forarm. It lengthens your reach.. or better yet, increases the distance it takes to get to your bits and pieces.
Ok.. I got long winded and I have 4 training modules to frigg'n do.. adios!
