Just keep on brewing my N-Stoff and build my fortress and I am all set.
 As Ironraven goes screaming and running off into the night.  Yes, zombies can learn to fear, heh heh heh...

I would use a machete as back up weapon. I would stock up lots of ammo on assault rifle.  |

It seems that a catapult or trebuchet loaded with rocks would make a good weapon.  I've certainly got enough rocks.... |

You guys are all thinking too small, think bulldozers with protected cabs, automatic tree processors, the ones that take whole trunks and chop the life out of them and my personal all time favourite, the Aardvark mine flail.http://www.landmineclearance.com/page3.html

Moar ??  Opps wrong forum this is the one where I have to try and be mature about what I say.
 
 I should think give the right prepreation anything could be survived it's just what your level you feel is confortable for you.
 
 Of course there are some things you may not want to survive.

Oo, oo, let me jump in before the thread locks...
 World War Z introduces the critical survival mechanism imo - zombies eventually rot away.  The math study doesn't account for this with a time element in their equations - if all you have to do is outlast zombies, its simply a matter of provision and protection for t amount of time, something simple like
 
 survival = x(t) provisions + y(t) protection - rnd odds of failure of x / y
 
 Safest place - an unscaleable elevation, with a cache of food and water for the duration.
 
 If a zombie rots, he is not your enemy - avoid him, they will eventually go away.  I wish I could remember the quote exactly, probably Henry the II:
 
 "He has launched the arrow, and the safest path is to avoid its aim."

Um, I would think a green cloud that melts everything organic it contacts would be more than sufficient.  You don't just want to destroy them, you want them running away in fear, right?  Ask Ironraven or Blast about Chlorine Tri-Flouride, aka N-stoff.

Yeah, I know.  I have this philosophy.  When it comes to terror, I don't like being in 2nd place.  To defeat your enemy, it is much sweeter if you first strike fear into their hearts, or whatever they may have that can know fear.   If you see zombies run screaming by, looking over their shoulder and pointing, you will know what they are pointing at.
