I think your wife is right!
ETA: I'm not up to speed on the latest zombie developments, but if they're stil slow and lumbering, then I choose this, so I can survive in style:

You also have to think that when you run out of ammo, can you easily find 7.62 or 5.56? I don't know if it is sold in stores. I personally like the rilfe I found on Left 4 Dead 2: heavy stopping power, sniping scope and mobile. I'll see if I can figure out what it was.

My choice would be TDI's Kriss Super V, lightweight, durable and great for close combat or mid-range.

A rifle that fires 5.56 will also fire .223, .223 is just loaded to a lower pressure normally. Same with .308 and 7.62 NATO, except .308 is the higher pressure load. I can buy .223 or .308 at Walmart, Meijer, or Dick's sporting goods, all within a couple miles of my house. They are by far some of the most common rifle calibers around.

Not 100% complete. A 556 can fire a 223 safely, but a 223 should NEVER fire a 556 (unless you are intentionally looking for bad things to happen).

223 & 308 are very popular cartridges as Brett said.

LOL, you and your damn shotgun.

I think the EDM SS-97 in .408 Cheytac would be a fun gun to have in a zombie scenario. ELR goodness...with good glass you get to see the effects w/out having to deal with the mess.
