Assuming its a modern setting, a shotgun as others have said. You'd want something that has the ability to hit individual bones, a rifle could sever bones just fine but its hard to hit something like a spinal cord or shoulder bone accurately with just one projectile.
Assuming a premodern setting, bows and crossbows would be pretty ineffective imo.Very difficult to aim accurately and the ribs would probably stop a lot of your shots. Shield and mace might be a good combo, that or a big poleaxe/polehammer for keeping a bit more range
this is a good idea

How do you effectively kill a skelly? Grind its bones into bread?
was just about to post this image kek. I'd assume you'd have to shatter the limbs that can actually do anything. Maybe sever its spine. Its probably compelled into action by some ungodly evil magicks, so I assume there doesn't need to be a brain in its head.

probably something like a shotgun loaded with #1-4 shot. one bone is a pretty small target, so a shot pattern with 14-30 chances to hit and break something is a big advantage. also the shot is relatively easy to get silver plated if you think that is necessary.
A flail would probably be useful, for shattering bones. Especially against single skeletons, though i imagine you would be quickly overwhelmed if you fought a group.
The flail also seems useful for weaker combatants since you can rely more on momentum than your own strength.
Flesh.
Dogs love to chew on bones.

On a more serious note, chainshot anon is right. You want the widest possible projectile that will reliably cut fragile targets in half

Anything that deals bludgeoning damage, which they are weak to. Avoid weapons that deal piercing damage. Slashing damage is ok.

Any weapon from Dark and Darker.
