Forget trying to use handguns as your primary weapon. They lack the type of range/accuracy advantages you really need for head shots on the undead. They should be reserved for last ditch defense. A semi-automatic rifle is going to be your best bet. Crowbars are also exceptionally useful, in that they can help both break in to buildings for supplies or defense, and break zombie skulls.
What about rifles?
Pay attention- everyone's been saying that rifles are the way to go. Full-auto is a mistake though.Quote:

Well, they can come in handy; IF you remember to save one last bullet for your own brain, when everything else fails... No need to pollute the world further by becoming a zombie yourself! Think about the environment here, guys!Quote:

And if you ever got to the point where running out of handgun (don't get me wrong, they're still good to have but should only be a secondary or backup weapon) ammo became top priority, yeah, you're already fucked.Quote:
