In a zombie attack...

My Weapons:
1. Colt M1911A1
2. Colt M1911A1 (incase the first one breaks)
3. Colt M1911A1 (incase the second breaks)
Melee Weapon:
1. Colt M1911A1, (I'd just hit the zombies with it, which i would only need to do if i had no ammo)
the reason for no assult rifles/shotguns/katanas is, im the type to move around and escape to a safer place, those things would slow me down.

You could always just a get a few silencers for stopping that pesky noise.
Nice.
The 1911 is that bad? Well it is a Colt so it can't be all that well made.
You should get some kimbers over those colts.
You guys are NO FUN.

If that were the case why not get armored steam rollers with mounted mini guns?
One thing I might add ... (my .02)
For everyone chosing an autoloading pistol, think twice about that one
. There is a reason many of us that were in positions to be in combat chose revolvers as back-up pistols.
In a close in engagement if that autoloader jams or misfires you;
1) Pull back the slide to eject the jammed or misfired round (if thats all it is).
2) Possible have to eject the magazine if the cause of the issue is the magazine.
3) Reload the magazine, or possible have to remove the round causing the issue.
4) Take aim and fire again.
If my revolver misfires;
1) Pull trigger again.
Yes a revolver carries limited ammo, some .357 models are up to seven or eight, but remember this is a close in/fubar'ed situation we are talking about where fractions of a second is a big deal.
Also to those considering the M4/M16A2 ... I would reconsider that one. The M16A2 (sorry I wont take in the M4 which in my professional experience is just a cut down piece of a bigger piece of crap) is a great take your time and shoot at paper targets weapon, but is horrid as a full time field use weapon. It takes way to much care to keep in good shape, the gas operating system is dirty and in much need of update, but its tolerances are so tight (which makes it good for target shooting) that even the smallest amount of dirt will cause jams and misfires. In my time carrying one I spent far more time on caring for it then actually using it. If a professional fighting force has trouble finding time to maintain the weapon, a civilian force on constent move is just about screwed.
What the AK family lacks in range, and lets face it how many battles still take place at 500+ yards that are not ultimately resolved by close in air support or arty, it makes up for in stopping power and reliability.

Desert Eagle .50 Calibers. Two of them.
Smith .454's. Two of them.
Semi auto 12 or preferrably 10 Gauge Pistol gripped clip-fed shotguns loaded with high-brass slugs and scatter. Two of them.
A vest to carry auto loaders for the wheel guns and numerous clips for the semi-auto's.
A heavy machete and a crowbar.
Plan: I make my way up to the nearby Army Depot to secure myself a tank and that's all I'm saying. I don't want you lesser-equipped's dragging a bunch of undead flesh and brain eaters my way.
And everyone knows the slower moving zombies are the only real kind. The faster moving hunters are only in movies. so unrealistic...

Ok, I'll use the AA12 for closer range/fubar type situations, the AK-108 for medium-range stuff and a H&K PSG-1 for longer range, I know the PSG-1 hasn't got the best range ever, but if you are trapped in a city you aren't going to be able to shoot that far anway.
I'm still keeping the kukri for melee, when used as a weapon it is designed for beheading.
For the guy above me saying no to the m4.
I believe colt is th m.I. M4 which I believe has more malfunctions than other manufacturers.
I own a rock river m4 that I have never cleaned it and it has never jammed granted I don't put mine through the sort of enviroment you see in battle..

Something Borderline Offensive
Video games and hollywood have taught me that these 2 weapons are WIN against most threats. Zombies, demons, etc.....
Even a silver plated katana or ninjato is good against vampires apparently
For melee: either a shovel with a sharpened blade or a pair of machetes/kukhris
For medium distances, the Galil AR with the 50-round clips or the AA12 automatic shotgun
And for long distance shots: the Barrett M98B, that thing is just brutal
