True, they may be more reliable, but I would expect that a G36 costs noticeably more than an AR-15 variant. I never really had any problems with my M16-A2, and it was God knows how old, used by who knows how many people before I got it. Also, I wouldn’t pick a .223/5.56mm, I would go with a Rock River Arms AR-15 chambered in .308.

The G36 and the M-16 both use the same caliber, so its in no way more “powerful”, but it may be more reliable, H&K make great firearms.

and, @Hepathos:
That rifle is neither “week” nor weak. It has proven itself in combat, and by my standards, and I see no particular advantage to the G36. I am too lazy to look up what caliber round it uses, but I cannot see how it would be a more readily available type than .223/5.56mm, which is a primary concern during post-apocalypse/zombie scenarios, and it is easy to use, easy to maintain, accurate, etc.

Again, not knocking the G36 per se, but I see no clear advantage to it over the M-16/M-4.

Ugh, do I have to explain again how bad edged weapons are for zombie attacks? Unless you know it isn’t a virus/infection/whatever transmitted by blood/saliva/whatever, then you do not want to be close enough to get blood spatter on you. I do applaud the fact that blades don’t need to be reloaded, but I would prefer a second or two reload to a second or two yanking a blade out of a skull, or from halfway stuck in a chest, as that probably means you are at close range to multiple zombies. I’m not saying don’t keep a big Bowie knife or machete around, but the primary weapon should not be a claymore (or any sword, for that matter). I say carbine/magazine fed rifle for long/mid/short range, then shotgun for short range, then a pistol, and if you haven’t figured out how to get the hell out of the area by then, go to an edged weapon, but I think you should flee before you have to resort to that.

paul_is_drunk, the Lobotomizer is great….as for the pic, I’d prefer a hand grenade for when I get bitten. It’s just better that way.

How will they make a movie based on WWZ? Will it be a documentary like Band of Brothers?
