I hear you, but a gun fight is like a knife fight. The loser dies at the scene and the winner will probably die on the way to hospital. In a survival situation with no facilities any injury can prove fatal. In an ambush though almost any weapon will do.
That being said, in a zombie situation since humans are potentially more dangerous I'd try my best to not start fights. I guess my main priority would be survival rather than fighting; which is why I wouldn't want a shmancy sword etc. Hunting rifle would probably be best type of gun in general. (for hunting edible game of course, avoid attracting attention of zombies whenever possible)
If you shoot somebody with a .45 pistol or shotgun slug/buckshot or 308 rifle they are going to die almost instantly. Choosing a 22 in a self defense scenario is ridculous. It's a pee shooter. If the bullets does go through whatever thick jacket or armor your wearing which is slim the damage they do is next to none. only way i'd want a 22 is shooting someone in the head at point blank range and let the bullet bounce around in their brain. But shooting soft zombie rot skull maybe it would penetrate easily.
