The rifle is a good choice. J & I are always discussing zombie survival and what guns we should own so we have everything covered. I believe the way he wants to break it down is to have the rifle for picking zombies off from a distance, and a shotgun for close-range attacks. I have a .22 which doesn't recoil, but doesn't do a lot of damage. Not sure how effective it would be but you could shoot it all day and not hurt your shoulder. I guess I'd be hunting rabbits? :P You still need to eat at the end of the world!

And... hit me!
(No rush though as I don't know what sort of questions I'd ask people who were to do the same meme!)
