I Know I'll Get Flamed But Best Round for Killing Zombies

So you have to shoot a zombie in the head in order to stop it. Exactly where in the head? I assume you have to destroy brain, but how much destruction, and where? Are the frontal lobes okay to knock out the cerebral cortex, or do you have to get the base of the brain where the cerebellum is? Do you aim for the circle of willis?

I'd hate to be practicing for popping zombie caps only to find that in real life* all I'd be doing is giving their heads a little ventilation.




































*Not to be mistaken for Real Life :)
 
Golly, instead of opening zombie heads, we should open our own minds to reason and compassion for their plight. Maybe they just aren't aware that canned brains are available. The government needs to fund a zombie outreach program. Then we can do blind taste tests to see if our zombie citizens would prefer canned brains to fresh.

Well, sure it's legal to hunt zombies. But you can't bait 'em!

Does that mean you can't tease them?

No "Your girlfriend is so decayed, when you ask for a piece, she breaks one off and hands it to you."
 
RE: zombies and water:

My copy of "Day of the Dead" has a commentary track in which the geek (it's not Romero) tells about a film with zombies floating around in the ocean. For this reason he laughs at the references to going to an island to escape.

Think about: decomposition produces gas. Zombies float!

Zombie II

Correia,

I'm in the dark corners of my mind's attic here, but I think the zombie vs. shark fight was in Zombie II, somewhere around 1982?

I have such a fantastic zombie joke, but it's really so not High Road, so I'm not gonna type it.

Imagine something witty goes here. Now chuckle!
 
There was a zombie computer game a while back, where you're the zombie, and your goal is to take over a late 1950's high-tech "perfect" city. You could bite people to make more zombies, and you could detach one of your arms as a remote control device for living humans (by attaching it to the person's head), so that you could make a soldier attack his buddies who were hunting for you.

Does this sound familiar?

Regards,
Dirty Bob
 
Cimon guys. True zombie warriors know that all you need is a phaser from Federation Startfleet. And when all else fails, pull out the light saber.:)
 
Thanks Madmike, I just spent my whole lunch hour watching little pink dots turn into little green dots. :p
 
Well first, i would assemble a huge coalition of gang members from Compton, hand them all a .50 cal Deagle and an AK-74, and then set them loose on the zombies (look out zombies).

Then i myself would get myself an 8-gauge and a Glock-40. Then, id keep a knife in my pocket in case.


Of course, the zombies would be pretty screwed in the first place with "ao dem homies up on dewr A$$". But whats the horror in that?
 
best round for killing Zombies

.22 Magnum -- enough power and penetration for those brain shots
Light enough to carry 500+ rounds in a small M60 ammo pouch
Pumpaction .22 16" barrel by Taurus (copy of Winchester)
light enough to allow easy carry of extra ammo, food, water, 1st aid, etc.

Indeed, but I'd prefer a detachable magazine for speed of reloading.

Ruger 10-22 with CCI Stingers and 30 round Eagle mags? $8 a mag times 10 = 300 rounds per person for about $300 each, and a small squad could carry enough ammo to lay down fire all night.
 
Rule Three-Oh-Three

I was thinking that a .303 SMLE or No.4 Mk1* would be decent, especially for slow zombies. It doesn't offer spray-n-pray, but that often isn't any good, anyway...only hits count. Hits with a .303 do count, and it holds ten rounds. Someone who has practiced can reload fairly quickly with 5-round chargers.

The rifle is solid, sturdy, and simple. Parts seldom break.

Against slow zombies, I wouldn't feel ill-served by the rifle that guarded the British Empire for so many years!

Once again, popular inaccuracy

This whole long (and humorous)thread started by falling for the Hollywood misconception of ZOMBIES. Just because it walks, acts, and smells (ugh!) like a zombie doesn't make it one. What we are talking about are low level undead. Ghouls perhaps, but not true zombies.

Pull out your Book of the Dead, Necronomicon, Witchcraft Manual, Tobin's Spirit Guide, Encyclopaedia of the Paranormal, or what have you, etc. and you will see that true zombies are the dead raised by Voodoo magic. Stopping (already dead, can't be killed) them requires one of only a few specific methods. Destruction of the spell that animates them (killing the Voodo Priest might do it) which is never easy, complete destruction of their physical body, which is not very easy, salt, which is easy, or making them remember their name (hardest of all), in which case they will remember that they are dead, and return to their graves, never to be raised again. True zombies are not stopped by head shots, or even cutting off their heads.

Best weapon for defense against true zombies would be a shotgun loaded with rock salt!

Best defense, as Mr Myagi says "No be there!"

Now, as far as the zombie like undead that are created by extraterrestial radiation, a disease, or some other means, just shut off the movie, or walk out of the theater!

Now, defense against genetically engineered dinosaurs or Ice Age mammals, that is another story. Guns, big ones, would be very useful then!
