You risk infection yourself, and generally beating a zombie to re-death would take valuable time, and you risk getting surrounded by other zombies. Shotguns are the best, but of course you need utility tools like crowbars.
If you have a friend with a boat, use that, since zombies can't swim. A plane will work well for a short time, but fuel is a problem. A high building is also okay in the short run, because zombies can't climb, but their sheer numbers would allow them to climb all over their undead counterparts and create a zombie pyramid to get to the top.
Actually according to the zombie survival guide, shot guns are NOT the best. You have to be too close to get a kill. Zombies don't feel pain and will continue to try and kill/eat you even if they have no arms & legs. Head shots and decapitation is the best bet.
I have a 308 with a scope that would be good up to 300 yards for head shots. Then i have an AR15 that has a scope that is good up to 200yards. Then i have smaller rifles and handguns. I do have a shot gun, but it would be last resort/ get out of a building type thing. A Machete is good, but I hope they never get close enough to have to use it.
A building with a second story with a retrackable ladder/stairway. Lots of food & water, a CB radio. AMMUNITION.
