Shotgun with firebreathers, a flamethrower, any pistol with exploding rounds. For, verily: "Thou canst not kill that with doth not live. But you <i>can</i> blow them into chunky kibbles". Standard weapons aren't going to cut it, no matter what the calibre or rate of fire, because some zombies are actual <i>proper</i> ones, ie they're dead already. Therefore shooting them in the head is either the only way to kill them (and unreliable), or there's no way to <i>kill</i> them and you have to destroy them instead.
After all, fire and explosives work good on all undead, not just zombies. And flamethrowers work good on <i>everything</i>.
I would use a jackhammer. Yes, that's right. Nothing beats leaping out of an old, ruined apartment, screaming as you plunge downward with the jackhammer still going, splitting the zombie's skull in half.
Although, I don't know what I'd do if someone snuck up behind me. Hey, matrix jackhammer, anyone?
He leaps out of the window, spinning around, as the jackhammer stabs through the zombie's chest, pulling it down with him as it gets splattered apart...

know this people: when fighting zombies, it's always good to <b>use weapons that'll last you awhile</b>
Miniguns and MG42's might be nice, but they'll chew through ammo like chocolate super-lax. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Pistols are nice, but dont have much stopping power, unless it's a magnum round, a hollow point, or explosive.
Assualt rifles are good, as well as normal rifles. ammo is lightweight and they dont fire that fast.
SMG's are a good choice, but their blatant ammo use might doom you if you like to spray and pray.
Shotguns. Super just because they are. ammo is light weight, high stopping power at the zombie's range; the ultimate zombie fighting weapon. no wonder so many zombie fighters use them. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Grenade launchers. Very good choice, their explosive ammo will destroy many zombies outright and severly damage anything nearby. certainly not a close-up weapon, though.
Flame thrower. A very good choice if the zombies are mind-controlled humans or some bio-experement gone horribly wrong. However, if they are the true undead, the flames will take awhile to remove their rotting muscles. if they survive and you're facing skeletons, you'd better hope that the fuel used is "jelled" and will stick to a body and burn there, and will burn hot enough to completly melt them.
melee weapons. Katanas, butcher knives, chainsaws, etc. Use them <b>only</b> as a last choice weapon if you arn't skilled properly with them! You engage the zombies where they do their thing best; one mistake and you'll be walking with your undead friends fairly quickly. however, with two Katanas and the proper training and skill, and you WILL live.
Others that i've missed. Fuels, matches, batteries, chemicals, wires, and other misc. items should be thought of as the holy grail. often items can be combined to form new and deadly weapons. If you dont have a good imagination, hand these off to people who know how to use them, or just dump them if they're slowing you down. however, things like gas, matches, and paper money shouldn't be dropped; they're all flamable, and could all kill. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Look. The point of a zombie invasion is that there are so many of them, you will eventually run out of ammo. The more ammo you have, the more zombies you will be. You cannot carry the amount of rounds it would take to kill every man woman and child in, say, New York. You can't do it. Yeah, if it was New York, the Army would be called in, but you still need to get from your inner city apartment to military occupied territory, and hope that the military doesn't mistake you for them.
In fact, it'd probably be better to either try holding out, barricaded (zombies don't make barricades so the military won't mistake you) or sneak out where the army is not.
Your first order of buisness is getting a weapon immediatly. Dont talk to me about assault rifles or rocket launchers... I don't care how bad your slum is, you don't have those right on hand. MAYBE you're packing heat, a magnum or shottie, but let's assume you're not. What do you do? Well, any table leg or chair leg or whatever... rip off a peice, and remember your advantage: a brain, and speed. That'll get you to somewhere that has better weapons... your local S-mart if you have one, or if not, there's got to be a gunstore SOMEWHERE in the city. You need to fight that far.
The only time you're going to have a katana in this situation is if you already practice martial arts. Of course, in this case, you're already covered so why are you bothering to read this?
Anywhere, once at S-mart or your local gun store, get a shotgun. Nothing but a shotgun. You honestly cannot carry enough ammo to make ANYTHING else useful. We're talking an UNPLANNED zombie invasion, you need to understand. Someone earlier mentioned a compound bow? Not going to stop a zombie unless you hit it perfectly, and I doubt you can do that well enough. Assault rifles will not be available at S-mart. Pistols at the gun store probably won't help much, unless it's a magnum or something. And even then, the shotgun is STILL your best friend.

MAYBE you're packing heat, a magnum or shottie, but let's assume you're not. What do you do? Well, any table leg or chair leg or whatever... rip off a peice, and remember your advantage: a brain, and speed. That'll get you to somewhere that has better weapons... your local S-mart if you have one, or if not, there's got to be a gunstore SOMEWHERE in the city. You need to fight that far.
The only time you're going to have a katana in this situation is if you already practice martial arts. Of course, in this case, you're already covered so why are you bothering to read this?
Anywhere, once at S-mart or your local gun store, get a shotgun. Nothing but a shotgun. You honestly cannot carry enough ammo to make ANYTHING else useful. We're talking an UNPLANNED zombie invasion, you need to understand. Someone earlier mentioned a compound bow? Not going to stop a zombie unless you hit it perfectly, and I doubt you can do that well enough. Assault rifles will not be available at S-mart. Pistols at the gun store probably won't help much, unless it's a magnum or something. And even then, the shotgun is STILL your best friend.

Not too heavy, and the 5.56 rounds does the job nicely, with 200 bullets you really need a pistol?
This would be my second choice. The stone rifle 16.

The best weapon would be a flamethrower, kill them THE THING STYLE!! <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
Zarp, I'm curious, where in the nine hells did you get that all those firearms?
Everyone should have a Flare Pistol as a sidearm. Not only can it mark your position but it could also be used as a very useful zombie toaster.
(Blood rules (The Game))
Nothing is better than killing and get killed in style. Now all I need is a black trenchcoat and a blood red scarf <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Attach a gatling gun with infinite ammo to the back and I'm set.
EDIT: Oh come on- does this NOT look like a Warthog to anyone? explaining the gatling gun joke? anyone? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->
And if you have infinite ammo, by the "More zombies than ammo rule" you're going to have greater than infinite zombies. And no one wants that...
A really big sledgehammer.
An ELECTRIFIED really big sledghammer! With rubber protective handle, of course.
*Plugs sledge in and swings at a zombie* *ZzzzztSHWACKsplat*
Yum.
And no, Uranium, a sledgehammer is not sick. I am <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Failing that, a nuke.
I'll be damned if I'm getting anywhere near any friggin zombies.
:EDIT: About no infinite ammo... man, we are talking about ZOMBIES in here! If there were Zombies, there'd surely be infinite ammo <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
