New Zombie Apocalypse PDW Day!

So, I have no problem making my very definitive opinions on caliber known. I have grown up shooting my entire life. Pretty sure the first time I shot sa .22 was when I was 5 years old. Anyway, at some point one asks the question "What is the best caliber/platform for a Zombie Apocalypse?" My definitive answer:
A 5.56 AR Pistol with ~ a 10 inch barrel
Here is why.
1. 5.56 - high velocity, small caliber, perfect for penetrating rotten zombie skulls, highly accurate
2. Short length makes it extremely fast and usable in tight hallways where unexpected Zeds might show up
3. The caliber is effective on non-friendly humans out to a reasonable range ~200 yards
4. Common caliber, so easily found.
5. Perfect for carrying a large number of rounds, for those zombie hordes.
6. Always go 5.56, because .223 out of it is just fine.
The weapon you see is a Spike's Tactical lower, with a custom upper/M-Lok hand guard from Miami
That's a Magpul Hex Mag with grip tape
The "stock" is a Thorsden Cheek Weld. No "Pistol brace" in danger of being banned by the ATF, and I would, of course, never use it as a shoulder brace.
Optics include Magpul MBus backup Iron sights, and the optic is a Holosun solar circle dot (in green, of course, and because batteries can get rare in a Zombie Apocalypse)
The Compensator on the front is handy for skull F&*^&ing a Zombie if you run out of ammo.
Magpul front brace and Bravo Company pistol grip complete the weapon
The Green is Duracoat Zombie Green
So, when (not if) the undead hordes do begin to roam - THIS is my weapon of choice!
