Yes I have. Very funny. I was laughing all the way through. I like Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright. They are doing good things with British cinema. Have you ever seen the series SPACED that he co-wrote with Jessica Stephenson ?

Quality stuff.

Pistols - almost worthless. You just aren't that good.

Rifles - slightly less worthless. Must be loaded with hollow points, you need to be in a good position (unbreachable by Zak), and have 'enough' ammunition.

Shotguns - Not bad if you have 'enough' ammunition.

Swords (or variants of e.g. machete) - Never need reloading, but require some skill to employ efficiently, need to be kept sharp.

Crowbars - Never reload, never need to sharpen, never break. Heavy enough to cave in skulls with minimal expertise & may get you through a door or window in a pinch.

I'd have an Egyptian mace and a katana as backup. Crowbar is all well and good, but the mace is designed as a skull-caving weapon.
Just a thought, is all. And I tend to stay away from guns. You can't stop a bullet at the last sec.

I'd definitely have a low-guage shotgun, in case crowd control was necessary, then probably the machete AND the crowbar, because the mixture of a sharp and blunt would be most effective, and I also agree with flattop that you may need to break into something with the crowbar. :)

All good points! People may bitch about guns in America but if came under zombie attack we'd have it made.

I love zombie everything. If I ever get married I plan to have it in my vows that if I get bit by a zombie my husband is supposed to shoot me in the head. Seriously!

Read/heard some time back (No source, ymmv, std disclaimers) that even if we were to disband our military and police forces, and count only registered (which is nowhere near the true total (not all states require registration, and crooks notoriously don't comply with laws anyway)) privately owned firearms, the USA would still be the 3rd best armed nation on the planet.

I love this country

An armed society is a polite society - Robert Heinlein

All citizens must be armed, no subject may touch any weapon - Ancient Greek law

I'm a citizen, not a subject.
