[/img]The problem I have with chainsaws etc. is that they are likely to be messy.
What if the vector of infection is contact with blood? Like Brendan Gleesan's character in 28 Days Later, one drop of blood to the eye and he was doomed (massive plot hole given the amount of Zombies chopped up).
Flamethrowers kill by asphyxiation, so (assuming they don't breathe), you'd end up with a horde of burning zombies to deal with. That sounds a lot worse than a horde of regular zombies.

Can't get them in this country but I have a plan.
@Somafunk, back of your van pretty much same gear as the back of my car. 8)
An almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
Hum, this would be handy to have. Chain saw on a stick

The same as I answered last time this question was posted, the AA12 auto shotgun
But having seen a reloading video - sloooow, probably have a backup assault rifle of some sort
This is still Singletrack, right?
How has no-one said:
Orange.
Z1.
Bombers.
(Owned....)
Or am I just showing my age now?
I'd get myself an axe of sorts - a nice twangy guitar and portable amp just so I could walk all over creation playing the theme to 28 Days Later to help folk get into the whole shitty situation.
Come on now surely has to be
For some reason these will only work if they're on a road bike lol

We haven't had an appearance of the Zombie Apocalypse Bike for a couple of months......

erm...Nothing?
I reckon you'd need to avoid them for what? A couple o weeks while they decompose to the point of being no threat...
Find somewhere off the beaten track, make sure you've enough tins of food, and water, and catch up on the reading you've been promising yourself, secure in the knowledge that you won't have a ton of work emails waiting for you after the lovely break you've had.
Zombies... Worst Baddies Eva.
Are they the fast hollywood zombies or the slow tv zombies? The fast ones I'm going assault rifle, the slow ones I'll go long pointy stick...

Hmm,, I was thinking about one of these:

But then again I can probably get hold of one of these a bit more easily:

Same overall effect but with the combine you can also use a bailer for a neat and tidy finish... 8)
I'm with muudy@rseguy, though an armoured farmers tractor & a hedging flail attachment or two would be my vehicle of choice with fuel trailer with quick release/attachment, easily located (tractor & flail than a old tank) Also a handy quarry, with the exit ramp removed & a big speaker repeating the zombie call setup in the middle to clear my local area of hoards. Aircraft propellers mounted horizontally, again with speakers, as mobile clearing kit. I may have thought about this a bit too much 
I think i would try apologising, unless of course it is too late.
Reassuring to know that cometh the zombie apocalypse, a decent percentage [s]victims[/s] people will default to loud, noisey, zombie baiting behavior 😈

Samurai sword...always works well for Michonne, never know why the others don't use the same.
We just watched the walking dead and thought the same, if I was one of the others i'd have taken one look at her and gone straight down the local samurai sword emporium, and if I was her I'd have made a fortune selling those zombies on a rope.
Fasthaggis is going to shoot 90's music at them?
I have a plan. I know where the vehicles are already stored, where the weapons of choice are located and where i would head for. Not letting on in case anyone else copies me.
I love these type of programes so its just natural to work out what you would do. I also have a tsunami plan. I drew the line at metorite/armegeddon type situation because i think i would just draw the curtains and go to bed.
Surely we'd all just use our bog standard, STW-issued MeccaMcMoonter wouldn't we? Or did yours not arrive with your subs?
I always keeps mine handy for trail clearance. blocked U-bends, getting stones out of horses hooves, that sort of thing.

Nah, in "reality" they'd be crap. Useless indoors, liable to get blunted and stuck in bone before long and they get bent to the point where they need repaired after relatively little use.
An A4 sheet of paper. Paper cuts FTW
Ruger 10/22 with supressor and maybe a Khukri or machete.

So do I. Unfortunately, so do quite a few other folk so it would be a mad rush to get the mother loads and it's the wrong side of a city from where I am. Everything you need to build yourself a fortifed compound or destroy one.
I can only hope they are deployed in my direction and I can go shopping when they get to the hold-up point. Or that I get sent for them.
* A bolt action Ruger Scout, simple and reliable, will work for a long looong time, a plastic stock made to look like wood - doesn't look as threatening and doesn't warp like actual wood, a supressor, a low magnification tritium sight and a mix of subsonic and high velocity ammo.
* A big **** off knife.
* Kevlar lined motocyle clothing.
No point going and getting squaddy weapons, in a scenario where you don't have a lot of mates who can shoot...if you need to throw that much ammo down range then you've already lost - whether it's humans or zombies.
Definitely a sword, an axe would be too likely to get caught up on things.

A Wakisashi is the sword for close quarters use, the katana for open spaces. Unlikely that either would bend, the laminated structure of Japanese swords makes them resistant to bending, while having a hardened cutting edge.
Getting caught in bones would certainly be an issue, less likely clothing; a Katana could cut through a gun barrel, ordinary clothing wouldn't be an issue, an axe would work in conjunction with a sword, or a pole-arm, basically an axe, or similar on a long stick which worked very effectively against foot soldiers, the Japanese version being a Naginata, a Katana on a stick, usually used by female warriors, or Halberds, glaives, poleaxe, Dane-axe, Spart axe, fauchard, guisarme...
Usually a peasant weapon, cheap and easy to make by a blacksmith, unlike a katana/Wakisashi, which require great skill to make.
A pointy and sharp bit of metal on the end of a six or seven foot stick is all you need, if the stick breaks the blade can still be used, until a new long stick can be fitted.
A shield/axe combo could work, form a shield wall while hacking the zombies heads off with swords and axes.
Here's a reasonably representative selection of polearms, if hacking rotting bodies to pieces is the intent, then an edge you can touch up with a file is quite good enough, sophistication is hardly a major requirement

And no, I've not been over-thinking zombie attacks, I used to play AD&D, massed attacks by armies of orcs amounts to much the same thing, the level of intelligence of the attacking horde being roughly on a par with plankton... 😀

This is 100% essence of internet. Finally 🙂 . Modern spring steel western imitation samurai swords don't suffer from this but historically they did. The cutting edge has an extremely high rockwell hardness but the main body of the sword is much softer.
There are videos out there showing Japanese tameshigiri experts having to stop mid demo and straighten their swords, you can find them with some [url= http://www.blackbeltmag.com/daily/martial-arts-weapons/edged-weapons/katana-care-how-to-straighten-a-bent-samurai-sword/ ]googling[/url].
a Katana could cut through a gun barrel, ordinary clothing wouldn't be an issue,
Mythbusters. Busted.
