My friend has a Zombie Survival book...
Here are a few tips:
Never ever use a machine gun, use a shotgun, pistol, or if you're jackie chan, use a sword.
Garage doors and cars attract zombies like flies to a piece of raw meat. No motorized vehicles, use a bike.
You MUST cut off or destroy it's brain to kill it.
Fire will eventually destroy it, but it don't feel no pain... same with electricity.
Don't use grendades, though rocket launchers are ok. o yea, btw, zombies are actually very fast and have superhuman strength... they are very different from the video games. btw dont use radiation unless you want to face radiation zombies. i will get more tips as soon as my friend tells me more abt zombies
You can stop with the tips, friend, because your zombies do not = our zombies. Our zombies aren't super fast human strength tanks with long tongues that explode into smoke and spit acid or whatnot, depending on what game you're playing or book you're reading. We have our own little scenario zombie if you want to go look it up.
And uhm, I'll debunk a few of your tips.
The first one is a good idea, not using a machine gun. Swords wont help.
The second one is decent but it's pointless to go on a bike for long distances.
You don't HAVE to cut off or destroy it's brain. If something doesn't have oxygen in it's blood, or blood in it's cells, then the cells deteriorate and die. If the brain itself has no blood, it goes through a very fast necrosis (Within the first 10 seconds of lack of oxygen), so after a minure or two the brain is half dead already. Shoot a lung or it's heart. Within minutes it's dead. Hell, shoot off it's leg that'll make it bleed to death while you run.
Fire will NOT kill it unless it gets 4th degree burns on it's ENTIRE body. Then it's unable to move, because it has no muscles because they're burnt off. Or you can cook the brain but that'll take a while. Electricity could fry the brain, just like it does to us. Throw a plugged-in toaster into a bathtub with a zombie in it and it's nervous system will be fried along with it's brain.
I agree with the grenade thing. Grenades wont help. We all know why. Rocket launchers might not help either, considering you wont always be fighting this large group of zombies all clumped up trying to get to you. Also, they're very loud, so you'll need a lot of rockets.
Like I said, they're not super fast and they can't pick up cars. The only way a person can pick up cars is with adrenaline. If a mother's baby is in trouble, she could lift a truck, then go to the hospital after for her muscles tearing and her bones breaking. Zeds wont have adrenaline, most likely.
I don't know anything about radiation, so I can't debunk that tip.
Anyone else want to add something, or prove me wrong?
