Zombie Clown is not amused
this one's a bit of a stereotype but there's a reason for that
tried and tested and the british army's primary infantry rifle. also, i've shot these many times before so it's one i'm used to
just look at it, sexy isn't it. also used by the british army
Knives/Melee:
i have one of these in a cupboard somewhere with the same exact sheath
go all gordon freeman on their asses. also useful for breaking into houses and suchlike
another one i've got. awesome knife, used by the Gurkha's since they first formed
Accessories:
you need something to carry all your shit in and anything you pick up on the way
you need some sort of entertainment, also for the lulz
doesn't need batteries and if it's on your head, it frees up your hands for any two handed jobs you may need to do in the dark
you need some good footwear if you're to take the on-foot route for getting around. they also look pretty sick
you obviously need food and this stuff doesn't go off for several years. it also doesn't taste as bad as it looks and i think you don't need to cook any of it but i may be mistaken
if you do need to be cooking it, you need something to cook the food in and mess tins are just a simple, no fuss method of doing just that
hexi stoves are simple heat sources for cooking. the fuel can also be used as firelighters and they pack up nice and neatly and small.
Ammo holding:
with a backpack on, you can't really be wearing any sort of tactical vest set-up so leg pouches are out of the way but easily accessible though, you could always wear trousers with leg pockets, which would make things easier.
for the shotgun. an extra magazine could be kept in a leg pocket or pouch
last thing, you need some sort of first aid kit for cuts and scrapes but not bites, your just fucked if that happens
AR15s typically have a fixed stock, 20" barrel. as you can see, those M4s vary in size, and all have adjustible stocks.
and that site is dedicated to AR15 style rifles. not particularly the AR15.
also, m4 is typically not used by military. i believe youre thinking of the M16. its fairly easy for a civilian to purchase an M4. its a common autoloading rifle... and they see more modifications than any other autoloading rifle i've ever seen...
*edit* the one at the very bottom of that picture *might* be an AR15.
Examples:

/> http://www.sogarmory.com/
/> (first links on a google search for "Ar15 Parts")
modified M4
you can find after market products for any guns... but there are not typically many preset factory configurations for an AR15. go to a website like budsgunshop.com and look at all the diff m4 configurations they alone sell.
M4s always come with a collapsible stock (you need a special NY or California legal version for it to be fixed). AR15s typically do not have a collapsible stock. the pictures posted in the original post showed multiple AR15 style rifles with multiple factory configurations, all with collapsible stocks. my point remains.
thats enough.
Granted that 2, 3, and 5 do look straight off the shelf (So to speak)...
1 and 4 both look like they have been fairly heavily modified.
wikipedia is your friend :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_carbine
Waaaaait, did you mean the gun's stock? Because we're pretty sure you can buy those for an AR15 too... >=P
Just. Stop.
this is an AR15.
this is an M4
4 and 5 in that picture look like they might be an AR15... but ill stand by what i said.
but youre forgetting. the classic, stereotype, iconic AR15 looks like this:
which is not pictured above. pictured above is, however... a stereotype M4.
benelli supernova tactical. (takes a broad range of different ammunition.
kimber 1911 (45cal)
bushmaster m4a3
Marlin 44mag lever action (old reliable)
backup pistol (S&W 38 revolver)
SOG jungle primitive
SOG seal team elite
louiseville slugger (metal)
crates of ramen
hot pot
water
water purification
FORD F450 police package + winch. (storage, stability, etc)
ham radio
german shepard/wolf hybrid (watch dog so i can sleep)
flare gun
muchos drogas (guy needs something to do right? ... also, peacefull suicide if i get bit.)
generator
drum of gas
automotive tool kits, general tool kits (crowbars, hatchets, etc etc etc)
.... did i miss anything?
much!
awesome!
:D

This is one of the weapons in the line of thrust activated zombie weaponry.
pack light, stay mobile, stay alive.
A school bus for shelter/ transportation: It could be nicely fortified, carries a ton of stuff, you can live in it and the diesel engine will burn a variety of things if diesel is scarce (SVO, stove oil, hell even used motor oil if you're in a warmer climate and you filter it first). An RV would be ok but its lack of ground clearance, relatively light duty parts and flimsy construction would be a liability and personally I put a higher value on them than the comfort that it would afford.
Weapons: Crossbow with a good overstock of bolts. Silent and reusable ammo, great for single or small groups of zombies and no noise to bring more running to you. A .38 revolver for the simplicity (.45 or 9mm would be good to) as ammo should be easy to find. A good shotgun and hunting rifle are a must as well (we don't have a lot of M16's or AR15's kicking around here lol).
Food/water: I'd be scavenging any dried or canned goods that I could get my hands on, rations too if I stumble on them. I'd get some pots and soil and grow some tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, anything that could be done in a good sized pot or in planters on the roof (till I found a decent cabin somewhere to hunker down). I'd rig up a decent sized cistern in the bus to horde water in and a rainwater collection system. Not so big it'll be too heavy but big enough I could go a good stretch without finding more water.
Other things that don't need a lot of detail are first aid supplies and medicines, generator, etc,etc.
starting at the top the first three would be the best for this type of situation the first of course being a heavy duty weapon with multiple functions. the second one also being along the same lines. the third is a two handed machete which would be great for hitting them at a distance but does lack the ability to kill any that manage to get right in your face. the fourth is my personal favorite because of the design but due functional purposes i would personally keep the first weapon with me at al times plus the first does look pretty fucking badass. the fifth and sixth are just examples of some that could be found which would come in handy if needed but i feel would lack the power to be heavily reliable for an extended amount of time
all of these can be found at true swords http://www.trueswords.com/gerber-gator-walking-dead-machete-p-6323.html
i didnt put a crossbow on my list for the simple reason of regardless of how high tech your string is, if it gets wet you lose tension and range. i have 3 melee CQB weapons, hammer, machete, axe.
the 3 tools can also be used as a backup for CQB. if the axe handle breaks and the machete gets stuck in bone, the hammer is a tool that can be used without fear of getting it stuck. and if you get an all metal one you dont worry about the handle either
because zombies dont swim...
with this all you need is some fishing material and water desalination kit.
