1) Yes 2) Considering zombies would involve a fair amount of suspension of disbelief, I believe my weapons should also involve that same suspension of disbelief. My first act of business would be attempting to determine the origin of said zombies, and the characteristics of said zombies. So I guess I would have to say my weapon would be knowledge. Like for instance, black magic zombies would involve significantly different choices with regards to an arsenal than virally created zombies. Slow or fast zombies is another major consideration. Other things to note: Slow zombies? Hahahaha where's the nearest military stockpile, this is going to be fun! Fast zombies? Get the fuck out of Dodge. Black Magic Zombies? Klatuu Barada......Nmrffhhrrff*cough cough* Chemically Created zombies? We need a counteragent! Where's the nearest lab! Virally created zombies (ala 28 days later) This is going to suck, I'm going to hole up with these here military guys and pretend to work on a cure. Worst comes to worst, I have walking meatshields. Best case scenario, I find a cure. Now as for a personal arsenal of weapons you could choose. For in close I'd want one of those new knives they have, the one's that pump something full of like nitrous or something and leave a 4 foot hole the size of a basketball, but in sword form, because they're zombies, you need the reach. Secondly I'd want many many many large vats of very strong acid. Now at this point I'm tempted to say shotgun. However looking at it semi-realistically, if zombies are close enough in either case...I'm already probably fucked if there are more than 2. This is why I choose a bazooka, or rocket launcher. With many many many replacement shells. I figure it would do enough damage long range to take a few out before they got within eating me distance. Also the best weapon ever in any sort of zombie apocalypse is sane allies. Allies who were driven crazy by the zombie apocalypse will just get you all killed. Gods I've put far too much thought into this already. But yeah, fire is a pretty bad weapon. Granted you could destroy their central nervous system, providing of course they need it (doubt magic zombies would), but it would be slow going, and if they're fast zombies...well you get the picture. Also some form of enclosed combat armor would be great. Like the HEV suit from halflife, but stronger, and more resistant to bites and such. Like the project grizzly halo suit, man that would rock. Also if we're going that far, solar charged laser disintegration cannon with a fortified battery pack for night use. 3) That's a toughie. I mean straight up I'd have to say army of darkness. The deadites kind of count.
