Description
It's a cliche, sure. And?
Created for the mod I support and have long followed, NMRiH, or No More Room in Hell, a co-operative multiplayer TC based on the Source engine, and inspired by, among others, the great 'Dead films of George A Romero.

Edit: Moved to scraps because no-one has any clue what it means, not even the people I made it for... Am I stupid or is everyone else? :\
FYI, the focus of NMRiH is barricades, which are a staple (pun intended) of the genre... Hammer+nail+wood = More defence than 50 bullets.

Ever played BrainBread, a co-op zombie-slaughter mod for the original Half-Life? As awesomely fun as it is, it would be inconceivably awesometastic in a Source version. This seems to capture that idea in spades! 
No zombie film or game is complete without a lever-action rifle.

Ahoy there... Thanks for the favourite and the comment
I was actually the lead forum moderator and beta tester for Brainbread, I contributed the designs for a section of the main map, heavensgate or whatever it was. Lost interest after the release unfortunately, as the team moved on to other projects.
Bolt action rifles have so much more style to them than their modern... replacements.

Yeah, but they're not very practical against zombies. They're great for military sniper purposes and police precision purposes, but they're not that great against zombies. The ideal long gun for zombie-slaying is the M-1 Carbine. You can carry a lot of spare magazines for it, more than you could carry with a rifle like an AR-15 or HK 91 because the M-1 Carbine's magazines are slimmer, almost like stick mags rather than box mags.
Also, lever-action rifles seem to feature prominantly in zombie films and games. And of course, there's the shotgun. Take your pick of which action type as long it's a repeater that holds at least six rounds (or more). A shotgun's ammo versatility makes it a g0od choice for zombie slaughter, especially if the particular shotgun has rifle sights instead of just a bead.

I'd rather a pistol in any situation. Small, lightweight, manoeverable in the hand and around the body, easily secured to your frame, easy to aim, can be used with one hand, semi-automatic, potentially silenced, numerous common attachments...
The list goes on
The goal in such a situation would never be to kill zombies, but to survive. Zombies that are further away from me than the ideal range of a pistol are of no concern. You just have to keep moving.
A few pistols > any rifle

I see your point. A silencer would be mostly to save your own hearing since real zombies don't use their natural senses anyway. They use some sort of sixth sense, possibly an awakened "dead zone" in the reanimated brain which perceives the world in some unknown way. If that is the case, that means that they can sense living humans through walls! 
The best commonly-found pistol would be a GLOCK 17 due to its design quality and availability of parts, magazines, and ammo. The best revolver would be a Taurus 608 (8-shot .357 Magnum). Since a .357 Magnum also takes .38 Special, you have increased ammo availability right there.

I write fiction and am aspiring to design games, and the undead in my horror work tend to be little more than humans dead in body and different in mind. Giving them psychic abilities or glowing eyes and all that tends to turn me off. I like gritty realism, to increase immersion... Nothing is more terrifying in fiction than something you can almost believe.
I recommend the 'Autumn' series by David Moody, if you enjoy that kind of thing... =] [link] He self publishes, have a look.
You can't think of any other useful attachment? Laser sights, sirrah! So easy to aim in the dark and get a clean, quick headshot when you just have to drag the red dot to the right spot.
I would indeed use a Glock, ideally. Just for the reliability. Running, hiding, sleeping rough, crawling in the dirt... General long term survivalism on your own, you want something that won't jam up and die after just a little rough treatment.
I'm not particularly experienced with firearms, living in the UK... I wish, though =]

A laser sight would be supplimental, but a survivor should be g0od with plain open sights anyway. Also remember that things like laser sights and flashlights require batteries and spare batteries would be just one more thing to find. No guarantee that there'd be any on hand.

I speak of an ideal situation. Living in the UK I'd get nothing better than my hatchet and machete, and I'd be quite content with that

Ah yes. Gun control is the essence of oppression.

Hiss. Politics.
Political parties do not work; in any large organisation, corruption, perversion and apathy with creep in due to the law of averages eventually recruiting a complete moron or two.
Dictatorship is the way. Get a nice, sensible dictator who'se good at not getting assassinated, and you have a solid country.

A dictator is inherently the personification of corruption regardless of how benign or "benevolent" they pretend to be. Human nature is a bitch. That point is touched on often in zombie films.

To expand upon that rather nonsensical comment;
Due to those 'problem cases' a benevolent dictator will never be appreciated as some fool will start trouble and spark rebellion in the minds of the impressionable purely because he's bored, attention-seeking and overimaginative.
Kill the fools. Enjoy life. Come to Jakktopia!

During the Clinton Administration in the '90s, I always saw myself as a rebel. I was never a rebel out of boredom or because I sought attention. I was a rebel for justice, vigilance, and nationalism (just as I am now except now I'm even more extreme).

Most societal roblems are caused by the excess of humans in general.
With enough people, you'll always end up with a few problem cases. Elitism, segregation and eugenics FTW!11

I'm a populist and a nationalist, so you may find opposition from me on those issues.
All collectivism is oppression. Society is the enemy of the individual.

The term "red state" means a state that voted predominantly Republican in the last election (2004). A "blue state" is Democrat. These terms haven't really been consistent over the decades because, in the past, the colors have been reversed. Technically, there's no official color scheme for Democrats or Republicans since both use the national colors of red, white, and blue.
Pink would be a g0od color for Democrats.

it reminds me of the mastercard advert, or some credit card advert, i'm not sure which.
