also.........I personally would tool myslef up with a Magnum ( revolver , as less chance of a stoppage ( getting jammed ) and some sort of sword, preferably samuari as a back up weapon, that's if we are talking about zombies, but be careful when using blade weapons as you don't want to get any infected blood into your body when slicing and dicing said zombie.
PS in the case of zombies, destroy the brain killing zombies is ok as they are just biological automotons with no soul,feelings, reason or otherwise...but in LAND OF THE DEAD, G.Romero challenges his own concepts of zombies,so they could actually be learning all the things they forgot when they died.
