i'd say play a bunch'o fallout 3, and learn some shotgun diplomacy. btw, i'd rather have a 12ga to deal with the undead. keep a couple pistoleros close by, but shotgun ftw.

 

Here's the problem with shotguns. Unless it's one of these:



There's too much down-time reloading and you'll be reloading too often.


Oh, and to add to my list, something chambered in .22LR. It occurred to me last night that a .22 has enough power to penetrate, but not enough power to exit, meaning it uses whatever energy it has after entry ricocheting around inside the body. It's perfect for a zombie killer; as long as you get some kind of head shot, the brain is destroyed (unless you really suck at life).

 

^That fact is repeated a few times in Max Brooks's Zombie Survival Guide.

Maybe you recognize the name. His brother is Mel Brooks (Spaceballs, History of the World:Part 1)

 

Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Young Frankenstein. Great director and a pretty funny actor, too. I love me some Mel Brooks' movies.

I actually might have to buy that book. Seems like an entertaining read.

 

People who buy those are automatically added to the NSA's watch list.

 

Mel Brooks movies? I don't see why.
