Bows have a low rate of fire and rely on bleeding to kill their targets. Zombies don't bleed. You need the shock tissue damage of bullets.

Gun power does not get wet when it is sealed inside the little things we call ‘cartridges’.

How many arrows can you carry? really? A few dozen? I can store ammo by the thousands in handy water tight cans. A few belt pouches and I have hundreds of rounds on my body and they don't get in the way of firing my weapon.

Also if I get a good field of fire I can drop zombies from hundereds of yards away. Many models of guns need little or no cleaning. An AK can kill zombies all day and all night for years with no cleaning.
Good call o
n the Kevlar. Anti shark or anti-knife gear is what you want. Cut resistant gloves and sleeves at a minimum.

Chlorine from what?

Nuke stations are designed with automatic fail-safes, but active and passive. They will not just randomly melt down if no one is running the place.

What you really have to worry about is the spent fuel in the water tanks. Those will heat up after the water's evaporated without being replaced (pumps are dead, no electricity), and eventually burn, throwing radioactive smoke everywhere.

Chlorine from what? Ammonia gas from cold-storage facilities having the power off for any extended period of time and the backup generators giving out of gas (as what happened in Mumbai two weeks ago) possibly combining with chlorine (which in NC alone has 12 major spill "incidents" a year just based on equipment failure alone while people are still performing maintenance.) Granted, ammonia gas is lighter than air, so the two spills would have to be in proximity, but it would still be something to keep a nose out for. As for reactors, SOME have both passive and active failsafes. Some. Some reactors are 40+ years old and outdated as liberals want them to fail so the government can shut all of them down.

Think fuel-air bomb. Whack an entire neighborhood at once.
