actualy, acording to the Zomby Survival Guide, writen by Max Brooks:
6. THE SHOTGUN At close range against human attackers, this weapon reigns supreme. Against the living dead, this is not entirely true. A good twelve-gauge shotgun can literally blow a zombie's head off. However, the longer the range, the greater the pellet dispersal pattern, and the lesser chance of skull penetration. A solid slug would have the same effect as a rifle, even at greater range (provided the barrel is long enough), but in that case, why not just use a rifle? What shotguns do possess is stopping power. The scattering shot acts as a solid wall, whereas a rifle bullet might pass clean through or miss the target altogether. If you are cornered, or on the run, and need time to escape, a good shotgun blast can send several zombies sprawling. The downside of a shotgun is that the large, twelve-gauge shells are bulky and therefore burdensome when ~ ~ traveling and leave less room for other equipment. This must be considered if a long journey is required.
a copy of this life saveing guide is a must have in todays modern society, one can be found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/9951849/Zombie.rar
