The stereotype of the “katana-wielding badass” and “gun expert” has been in zombie-based survival horror roleplays since I started doing them. To prevent these characters you simply to have a GM team that doesn’t want them and will harshly punish people for developing their characters into them.

I'd be okay with gun experts, but not guys running around with military rifles decked out in all kinds of attachments. To me, it does feel rather out of place--same with the katana-wielding--even if it looks cool. 

Maybe it's just me preferring the survival experience rather than rule of cool? /shrug
