10 Best Weapons For A Zombie Apocalypse

Another loud, imprecise weapon, the shotgun is a bit more adaptable than the grenade.

First off, it'd probably be a lot easier to find shotgun shells than it would be to find grenades. Just go to Walmart (or whatever your regional equivalent of Walmart is) and you can probably find what you need.

Second, you risk far less collateral damage. If you throw the grenade into a crowd of the undead, then a wide blast radius is great. But let's say you're backed into a corner, and you've only got two weapons: a shotgun and a grenade. In this case, you'd definitely want the shotgun. In close quarters, a grenade can kill YOU just as quickly as it can kill a zombie. The shotgun only fires one direction, as opposed to the circular explosion of a grenade. With the shotgun, you point and click. With a grenade, you chunk it and hope for the best.

You WILL draw attention to yourself with the shotgun, but it's a handy weapon that you can get a lot more mileage out of than you would with an explosive device.
