but in all seriousness.... 20lb sledgehammer with a composite handle... enough force to smash through a crowd with 1 big swing.

Let them come in their hordes of millions, they are no match for us.

I've helped you all in Weapon Choice! To find out more on how to survive the Zombie Apocalypse, look for the book: The Zombie Combat Manual by Roger MA. Thanks and good luck!
Definitely katana all the way, unless lightsabres are allowed.
Zombies are killed by brain destruction or decapitation. Then we have to ask, which of these is easier to achieve? I'd have to go with decapitation. You know where to aim, and it's obvious when you've been successful, unlike with the alternative. Who knows what type of blow is correct for fulfilling the ambiguous task of "destroying the brain"?
Then we ask which method would be most effective for decapitation?
I go with lightsabre, or katana if we're playing realistic. This is because it's a zombie APOCALYPSE. We're not talking take-out-one-or-two-zombies, we need to kill lots of them! And a weapon like a claymore is just going to tire someone out.
This is how I came to the conclusion that the ideal weapon would be long, light and with a very sharp edge.
Guns are stupid. The chances of hitting all the zombies in the head is small, and hitting them anywhere else will at best hold them off for awhile instead of killing them. Ammo runs out. The noise attracts more zombies. Guns are heavy. They require cleaning, they can jam, parts can break, all factors which do not apply to something like a katana.
TL;DR: Katana is best because it's light, simple, easy to use, durable, and effective, guns are stupid because there are too many negative factors acting upon them.
An attempt to do this without the required skill renders most guns useless and basically a dead weight.
You do bring up a good point about narrow hallways though, so I'm willing to admit guns would be useful in that situation.
Katana:
cleaning - quick wipe of the blade on grass or similar, maybe polish off the hilt
breaking parts - it a long thin chunk of metal, it doesn't break to the point of being useless, and in the unlikely event of it doing so, you can always have a backup. They're light.
With the slow or fast thing, and the rule that you must destroy the brain or decapitate, I'm just going with the most prominently seen attributes in pop culture.
You converted me about guns, I agree that they're useful, but I can weigh up between using a katana and using a gun, and the katana seems as though it would be far more useful in most situations, unless I had some sort of explosive, or a shotgun at close range.
I love that we've typed several hundred serious words about zombies XD
But seriously ↓
It's huge.
I'd save the world in moments just by swinging angrily through the crowds.
It's like this picture, but backwards.
You're welcome.
