Stop the insanity.
I'd say:
long gun: AR-15 or M1a. Mags are easy to find, ammo is relatively common, both are accurate. And they look cool.[8D]
sidearm: I'm leaning towards some sort of revolver in .357. That way I can load up on .38 specials if I have to and there's no need to scrounge for magazines or worry about jams because I was too lazy/busy to clean it properly.
.45ACP 1911A1
NO doubt about it.

Love 'em both.
Trust 'em both.
Surprised to see a vote for Hi-point, I've always assumed they were sub-par pistols like Jennings or Lorcins.
AR-15 and Sig P220.

that's Browning Hi POWER, not hi point;
entirely different beasts.
Hey, if Col. Smith (from the A-Team) carried one it shouldn't be a POS [;)]
Springfield XD .45 Hi-cap 13 rd mags.

Your limitations were stupid.
My choices are a Ruger 10/22 with a good suppressor (I have a LRM Vidar} and a Mossburg or Rem pump 12 gauge shotgun.
There can be no other choices.

Toss up between 1911, or CZ 9MM.
Guess it would depend on amount of ammo at the time for which firearm, and situation in general.
Stoner 63A for close in
Barrett M-107 for long range

I have not been in a Marine uniform in many years.
But have been in Serbia and Afghanistan some lately.
This is purely personal, I want 12 GA shotguns and any "close range rifle". 40 -300 meters.
And I am not a fighter any more, look at

The US should have something like the Frogs
This is where I work 6/12 months
I have a job that allows it
That is why these stupid questions anger me so much

Mk 19 Your weapons are unobtainium. Get Real
If the SHTF I would call Iran and ask for their assistance in defeating whomever it was that invaded. They have a good track record with that kind of stuff.
Oh sure, go ahead and give more jobs away to foreigners...[;)]
32 inches long, so it would be pretty good for close quarters, yet it is still a .308 with a 24 inch barrel, so you can still reach out and touch people with it.
Their ammo would last long enough to scavenge other weapons using more common smaller caliber ammo.

Pistol, I am debating between my Beretta 92FS and my new Five Seven. I am considering carrying both at the same time though.
Can't carry too many guns because I need to bring the sword as well in case of zombies.
11b6r, what if they do find you, youre arsenal might be a little underpowered, especially with reliability issues of .22 ammo
Yeah but 11b6r knows he only needs one shot...plus it can be any worse than my 25
Pick a gun that gives you the best chace of surviving the first few days.
The AK will be good when its been a while, all your weapons are beat up from running, dropping to the dirt, etc, the ammo will be easy to find, you won't need batteries for a red dot or anything....
But in the begining, the guy with a quality perfectly maintained accurate rifle with a tactial site using batteries using ammo that isn't very common will probably kill the guy with the AK, especially if he spots him at a distance where the AKs lack of accuracy will really show.
AKs, ARs, Glocks, shotguns... they will all be a dime a dozen once you start scavenging.
Thats why I stick to my choice of the RFB, with only one long gun, a shotgun will leave you dead from a ranged enemy, a 50 bmg will leave you dead from the guy with an AK a block away or guy across the room with a shotgun.
I suppose you could pick a long range rifle, and use the pistol for close range, but pistols arent the greatest combat weapon... Id go for a long range rifle that is also good up close.... Like a springfield SOCOM II, or the Kel Tec RFB (sporter or carbine models).
For the pistol.... does it really matter, its a backup.... something big .357 revolver or 1911, if you need more ammo than that, your probably screwed anyway, although both those pistols will be common.... so maybe something less common like the FN 5.7?
Wait... no, for the pistol I'd choose one of those bushmaster AR-15 pistols.... 30 rd mag, lots of energy, decent range.
It makes a difference if we got to shoot Zombies.
Maybe you should re-think your choice, cause with this one, the battle would be quite short.
