MacifejLoad with half pound of OOOO Buck over 700 Grains FFG. Place expired zombie's shoulder between your's and buttstock. Fire - reload - repeat. Use BP smoke as concealment while reloading (or escaping).

Dago RedI'm pretty sure blunt and edged would get more use, gun noise would attract the other zombies. I love guns and I'd still choose a nice long axe handle for most work.

Idaho SharpshooterOn the other hand, a 55gr Sierra HP 223 round at about 3250fps between the eyes at under 500yds might work just as well. A dab of gel in the suppressor and it's Phffft, clack. Could be anything.
CQB is not my favorite game.

A Guatemalan-style Collins machete honed to a razor edge has always worked for me...

trophyhunter5000Depends on the type of zombies…
Traditional George Romero Night of The Living Dead style, John Russo Return of the Living Dead style, Sam Raimi Evil Dead style, or Zack Snyder’s 2004 Dawn of the Dead style…
Romero zombies .. Slow moving defeated by head shots only… ISS’s suppressed 223 would be ideal…
Russo zombies.. Slow moving defeated only by total body dismemberment… Guns may be useless though Mac’s 2 bore loaded with shot would really slow em down…
Sam Raimi zombies… demon possessed and defeated only by total body dismemberment… Bruce did pretty well with the chain saw…
Zack Snyder zombies .. Extremely fast and defeated by head shots only… were probably f*****d…

Blue DogI believe that in order to kill a real Zombie, one should use the 10-ga shotgun loaded up with 000 Buckshot. It will spoil their night time fun,trust me.

robthomI intend hoding on tightly to Mila Jovoich's (spelling?)skirt

I have never followed the horror film logic behind the Zombies.
Ok thye are dead. Part of their brain is still active - like a capcitor, allowing limited basic body functions to continue- limited mobility, feeding etc.
But they are 'dead', so the body structure has a very limited 'shelf life'. Providing you can just keep out of their way, surely they will all fall apart, completely decompose and the problem will go away?
Will a Zombie film buff please expalin this to me?
(I thought cutting off their heads or destroying whats left of their brain was the only way to 'stop' them in the films?)

I believe they retain some capacity for digestion and cell regeneration hence their eating of the flesh of normal humans.

Zombie is derived from the Cajun French "Tombee" -- "fallen" or slang "kicked the bucket."
In the context here, we use Zombie as a metaphorical reason to develop and purchase weapons with extreme capabilities. We don't give a rip about zombie movies.

Kevin RohrerI cut my Zombie eye teeth on the original Night of the Living Dead. It's still a great film and I will have to get it again for use as a training video.
Yes, they have a "limited shelf life" and will eventually decompose to the point that they fall apart. Unfortunately, as the brain has been reactivated, it is the last part to die and keeps what body parts working that still function. If you watch the first or second episode of The Living Dead, you will see a corpse torso dragging herself along.
The danger to us living is that there are more dead that have been reanimated than there are living. Our problem is to survive until all the Zombies have been killed or completely disintegrated thru decomposition. Survival is a waiting game for the living.
As for the requirement to make head shots to send them back to the grave, it depends on which school of Zombie extermination you subscribe to. In the book
Tooth and Nail (outstanding, military-oriented Zombie killing), the Zombies are only half dead and can be killed normally.
Hide or fight; there is no third choice w/ Zombies.
I'm not a big fan of mouse guns, even though I own one and carry another at work. Am in the process of loading 4k rounds of 7.62 and 30-06 for my service rifles as I believe that Zombies deserve the very best.

At 4 bucks a round I sure hope you don't have there are not very many zombies, and you are fighting them in a concreate bunker!
20 May 2011, 06:47
Blue DogI load my own and cost is half of what you quoted!
20 May 2011, 20:14
Antelope SniperWhat are you loading them with, magnesium?

The danger in most films is the spread of the virus or whatever is causing the dead to reanimate...
i.e. every time we kill one of them they lose one...every time they kill one of us we lose one and they gain one...
Sort of plays on our fears of pandemic type situations...

Blue DogAntelope Sniper, hell NO!
Why I just load em up normal like and if I have any trouble at all mind you, I call my cousin over for a short chat. He takes care of anything I can't handle quickly. His name is Superman!!!
27 May 2011, 21:45
Antelope SniperBlue Dog,
You are the first perosn I've run across that loaded his own Dragons Breath 12ga rounds. I was just curious what you used to get 12 feet of flame out of the end of the barrel. I was just hoping you'd share your secret!
28 May 2011, 06:43
Blue DogAntelope Sniper.......Now if I shared all my secrets with the likes of you, all those ladies would pack up and be on your door step instead of in my lounge.
30 May 2011, 04:34
Antelope SniperSo what you are really saying is someone one else was loading them, and you have no idea what went into them, or what licenses were required?
Hey Everyone,
My personal choice would be a " 12 Gauge " loaded up with an all " Copper Projectile ", which should disrupt the " Electrical Impulses " (
Head Shots ), which might be the only thing keeping them moving ??
It may /should also work on the " Aliens " (BORGS ??), when they invade us, as predicted by " Stephen Hawkings "..

" May 07, 2010|By Amina Khan, Los Angeles Times
Famed physicist Stephen Hawking set off chatter in the scientific community in late April when he posited the existence of intelligent aliens on his new TV series, "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking" —adding that it would be best for human beings to avoid contact with them.
Hawking speculated that such aliens would likely be nomads, living in ships after sucking their own planet dry of resources, and hopping from one interstellar refueling station to the next. Earth, he said, shouldn't do anything to encourage their visit. "
P.S.: The " Zombie Virus " could be intentionally introduced by " Aliens " ( Bioligical War ; Human / Mankind Self Distruction) before their main forces invade... ?

Of course you did.
Got to keep the insurance fees reasonable so it's less hassle to pay you then it is to go to the cops.

Blue DogNow don't feel bad for the cops, they did get their alotted share of the jelly beans.
