The best weapon tends to vary depending on the type of zombie:
Plague: Explosive rounds, shotguns or a carefully aimed bullet are the best for this sort. This is because plague zombies have parts that, if damaged, will destroy the zombie. These zombies are less dangerous, singly, then Necromantic zombies (Unless you are armed with a melee weapon) but have the potential to grow exponentially in numbers.
Necromantic: The type of zombie created by a necromancer by drawing power from the negative energy plane into a corpse. Slower than some Plague zombies and less numerous (Unless the Necromancer has had a long time to work on them) these are more dangerous individually because there is no real way to kill them with conventional weapons, you can only chop them into enough pieces that they can't hurt you any more. The best sorts of weapons to deal with Necromantic zombies are blessed bullets, holy swords, silver weapons and sheer faith. Very effective at killing atheists who are unlikely to have access to any of the effective weapons.
Ghouls: These are the worst sorts of conventional zombies, these combine the worst of both sorts of zombie. They are as fast as a quick plague zombie, with the same animal cunning, but have the difficulty to kill as Necromantic Zombies. They are raised by powerful necromancers in place of Necromantic zombies because they can infect, just like plague zombies. Luckily, Ghouls retain the Necromantic vulnerability to holy or silver weapons. The most effective weapons to combat Ghouls with are holy, explosive or mercury filled silver bullets or a blessed silver sword. If attempting to kill with the sword, plate armour is advised to stop them from infecting you.
