One of my favorite topics...
First of all, according to every movie, manual and "knitting circle" about zombies, injuring the brain or brain stem is enough to effectively kill or re kill a zombie. Won't know until the day arrives. A .22LR would be quite effect at penetrating a health human skull at 75 yards. 75-25 yards would be the ideal range to engage this type of target. Anything further would see higher misses, less effective shot placement, and less effective penetration. Anything closer you would either have to leave the AO or fight to the possible death.
The great thing about the M&P 15-22 is it's easy for anyone to shoot, maintain, and build muscle memory for other AR style rifles. Controlled Pairs (double tap) is easy with little practice due to recoil. Add a supressor to the 15-22 and you'll have an accurate, light, easy to shoot silent death stick.
Not to mention ammo is EXTREMELY light. A thousand rounds probably weighs no more than 10lbs. A normal infantry combat load of 210 rounds and 7 steel mags probably weighs close to 15. Add the fact that .22LR is extremely affordable to stock up prior to Z-Day. As well as the ammo can be found almost any where. I've seen gas stations (in the country) carry several different brands of .22LR. This helps as you travel the states looking for safe areas and mowing down the undead hordes from hell.
As far as some fourms and other people I have talked to have suggested having multiple (10's) of different firearms. This is a bad idea. Try running with 7 weapons, ammo, equipment and supplies. Not going to happen. Being light, fast, and stealthy would be key to surviving and re-populating the earth, I call dibs on Oliva Wilde. Also ammo is the key factor. If you are trying to find some "weird" or un-popular ammo to fit your Chinese imported 70's prototype bullpup pistol you're just carrying dead weight. Stick to popular reliable rounds (.22LR, .223, .308, 9mm, .45ACP etc). This will ensure that if you scavenge an area you can find ammo easily.
I would carry a 9mm or .45ACP handgun with threaded barrel for a surpressor, my Sig 516, M-P15-22. Not to heavy but still bulky.
I'm actually in the process of writing a zombie manual from more of a military and shooter standpoint.

Why not bring Chuck Norris on!!! Forget about those Zombies???
Superman wears Chuck Norris PJ's.
When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
They once made a Chuck Norris toilet paper, but it wouldn't take **** from anybody.
There used to be a street called Chuck Norris but it was renamed because anybody who crossed it didn't survive.
He once kicked a horse in the chin. All it's decendands are known as Girrafes.
He can light a fire by rubbing two ice cubes together
Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.
Chuck Norris doesn't turn on the light, he turns off the dark.
Once Chuck Norris destroyed one stone with 2 birds
I think we all know that the Zombie Apocalypse will never happen. Not because there aren't Zombies out there trying (I've killed a couple today with a M&P 15-22), but rather because Chuck Norris lives amongst. One thing Chuck doesn't like is Zombies ruining his day. You see, Chuck can take on an entire Zombie horde without messing up his hair. The secret is with the sidekick. But what would happen if Chuck managed to get bitten???
As we all know, this is an impossibility, but say if the laws of the universe did somehow bend, and some poor dead brain eater did manage to get its festering teeth around a certified Chuck Norris bicep, what do you think would happen???

the survival guide recommends the M1 carbine. the author picks the M1 over ar15 platform for a spurious reason, imo. while .22lr may suffice, i would use at least M1 carbine power- remember, the brain is inside the skull which offers protection against pellets.
also recommended is the M1917 trench knife, which the guide calls a trench spike. obviously, a last ditch weapon but it would excel at skull penetration.
answer- 5.56 M4 carbine with plenty of ammo. make every shot count
Sans my 15-22; if I had to have a non-M4 carbine, I would probably go along with a few of the earlier recommendations and have a pistol caliber carbine. Primarily, because I could have shared mag/caliber and not have to carry a variety of ammo.
The Hi-point has been around for a long time, and I think Taurus has put together some kind of abomination (said with affection). Now if only Springfield Armory would offer one that uses their XD magazines.

Chuck Norris tested positive for steroids, not because he uses them, but because steroids are derived from Chuck Norris.
Parking spaces with a handicap sign doesn't mean it's reserved for handicap people, it means that's what's going to happen to you if you take Chuck Norris' parking spot.

For those who haven't seen it. Here is the new Taurus Carbine I referenced earlier. Not sure why it is listed as 10+1 capacity. It screams for hi-cap mags.

Depends on what zombie movie. Romero's original "Night of the Living Dead" centered around a Marlin/Glenfield model 60 tube fed 22. But, those zombies could barely even walk.
Seems like more modern movies like "Resident Evil" seem to require heavier and more firepower and that's not even talking about end of level bosses (wouldn't that suck in real life!) That axe wielding mutant in RE Afterlife took a lot of bullets to take down!
hmm...and I don't even have a tactical boss load out...

That's one wicked 249^^
The GoW gun posted above is built on a Tiberius T8 pistol (magazine fed paintball marker, owned one a couple years back).
If headshots are the only thing that will knock them out of the fight a .22 would do just enough damage to kill one. Don't forget if the velocity falls down to low but still penetrates the Walker's skull it will rattle around in the skull and turn it into even more mush.
However it all depends on the type of zombies. "Rage" infested or fast movers like 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead (remake) Day of the Dead, The Walking Dead, etc. then something with knock down power would be more ideal. An AK74, 6.8 M4 SBR, shotgun would be ideal.
On the other hand, Shaun of the Dead and older zombie movie zombies that are slow moving and quite sluggish in all movements would simply need a well placed .22LR to the dome and its over.
This is all IMO.
