what your goal there would be, is to have a rifle powerful enough to penetrate the skull but not leave an exit wound. this results in the round ricocheting around the interior.

But tbh... if the zombie apocalypse where to happen tmrw, i would not be prepared, the FIRST thing i would focus on is food, tools, and high shelter with a sufficient amount of natural material. i.e. boondocks/mountians. Im not going to be focused on some silly kill count. With that said i completely understand why that article suggest the shotgun as the least appealing weapon to use during a situation like that. Your goal is to keep your distance and survive, not hunt and put your self at risk.

alot of people have a hard time understanding situational awareness
