Classic Zombie
A Classic Zombie is sort of the Base Line for all other Zombies. They are what Max Brooks talks about in "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z". They really are dead creatures that try and eat you, your brain, and anything else that's biological. A Classic Zombie is slow moving and takes a little work to kill. They are essentially just a dead body being controlled by a virus and they should be treated as such. If you see your neighbor and he's a zombie he won't think twice about killing you, And you shouldn't think twice about killing him either. The only way you can kill a Classic Zombie is by damaging it's brain. That is a task that is left up too you but the most common ways are with a 22. Rifle or Pistol because they are small enough to enter the skull but not powerfull enough to leave thus it bounces around in the skull destroying brain matter. Another way to kill a zombie is to decapatate but as this severs the head from the body it will not stop the head from trying to attack you. You should use a machette for this. They are already dead so they don't need to survive without water or food unlike a Rage Zombie

Cure
There is none

Infection
A Classic Zombie infects it's target by biting it. The way the virus works is it takes the host body and bites a victim. Through the bite the virus goes through via saliva and enters the wound. The virus kills you within 7-8 hours and after that it takes control of brain, Mostly motor functions, And begins to do the same thing all over again.

Pshycology
They can't think. They are mindless killing machines. The only goal they have is to sniff out humans bite them. They may eat but they don't need it so it will just pass through regullarly except no nutirients will be gained. They do not show social interaction. The only time they may come together is when attacking food. When a Classic Zombie finds food it will Moan and this is a signal for other Zombies to come and attack. It can be used as a signal to get ready for an attack if you hear the moan however

Defense
The only way to kill a Classic Zombie is too destroy it's brain. keep that in your brain as you build your defenses. They give off no body hear so heat sensors won't work. Motion Sensors may but Zombies move slowly about walking pace so some may not be picked up on the sensor. You could also add walls to your fort seeing as they are not smart enough to open them, However if there are enough Zombies they will be able to break through. Also look for a building that has a height advantage as Zombies can't climb.

Offense
The obvious answer would be to let Nature and Decay take care of that but that willl take 5 years at least to completely decay a zombie so it will no longer be a threat. You should aviod full auto weapons as they are loud and they waste ammo. A skilled marksman can kill a zombie in 1 shot were as a Moron with a full auto may waste the clip. Be carefull when entering a home. Knock on all doors before you open them because there may be a Zombie inside and it will respond to a knock at the door. Also if your entering a building the buddy system is the best way to do it. A 2 person squad with each member about 3 yards apart is perfect.
