So, which makes the best choice against zombies astride rabid saber toothed wildebeests or against the other predators during the red state revolt? Is it the .45acp, heavy, slow, depositing all its energy in the target, or the .357 mag, able to penetrate clothing easily while we risk over penetration, wasting that expensive energy?
I know this has never been discussed, as we can't find .45 vs .357 with our primitive search functions. Inquiring minds and all.

Wow. The Zombie Apocalypse retort to my “no new calibers” rant. Instead it should be “don’t buy two guns of the same caliber: you never know what you’ll scrounge”

Or... buy it cheap and stack it deep and stay home.
The border between civilization and savagery is porous and patrolled by opportunists. Resist fascism. Vote like your democracy depends on it.
For a zombie apocalypse, I'd prefer a rechargeable plasma phase 1.22 gigawatt rifle capable of continuous fire .

For a zombie apocalypse, I'd prefer a rechargeable plasma phase 1.22 gigawatt rifle capable of continuous fire .
With matching sidearm and a particle beam sabre - just in case.
And, for backup, an ultra-hypersonic hand-carried rail gun capable of penetrating 3' of hardened steel.

He would invent a new caliber using a .50BMG necked down to .17 using CO2 from the air and stardust as propellant. I mean, this is zombies, right? Astride their rabid saber toothed wildebeests, swinging rusty scimitars trailing bits of the last victim, eh. Nothing less than a 15.5 grain titanium spire point raised to .8 light speed. And a recoil pad for the shooter.

i would expect that the sound of gunfire will bring zombies to my doorstep from miles around, so i'd be looking at ways to muffle the report. even so, i think i'd just barricade myself in my home and plink them from the porch roof with whatever i have, starting at long range with the rifles: 30-06, 30-40 krag, 5.56, 45-70, 7.62nato, on to 45acp, .380, being careful to save the last couple of rounds for myself. i assume .22 would be useless against zombies, but i'd certainly try it.
