Best 3 gun combo for end of world/ zombie apocalypse/ mother-in-law visit scenario

Noob FNG here,
it's probably been asked to death, but what is your 3 gun combo to stave off oncoming hordes of looters/ zombies/ holiday shoppers/ in-laws.

We all know everybody wants full-auto, flaming death machines if everything goes awry. Keep it legit though, only what you can get in the local gun shop.

Keep it to only 3. I like shotgun, rifle, pistol, but feel free to put what you want.

Well, I gave this about a ton (30 seconds) of thought...

You didn't express how much ammo we could have, so...

Pistol = FN 5.7 with 100 30 round mags, loaded and 6 cases of ammo.

Rifle = 6.5 Grendel on AR platform with the same amount of ammo and nice leupold mounted on top.

Shotty = Mossberg 835 Ulti-mag with multiple barrel/tube combos and the same ammo in #1 buck, rifled slug/sabot, and light game.

All decked out, of course...

Hey, it's your 3 gun battery. You buy as much ammo as you can.

In that case, make it 60 cases of ammo...And a pair of those neon orange squishy foam ear plugs. The ones with the yellow plastic string between them...
