"He was wielding a shotgun.

His was a side-by-side brake barrel, You can only have one shell in a chamber at a time so his limit is 2.

To reload a double barrel you move your thumb to the right to move a lever sideways drop the front and the casings (or shells if unfired) will be ejected.

You then take a couple of shells in hand and insert them into the chamber, and lift the barrel back into position (quit pushing on the lever or it will not lock in position).

Ta-Da

I question why you have 3 shells listed for a shotgun, the only shotgun i have personally seen that holds 3 is a 410g bolt action.

Pumps usually hold AT LEAST 4.

Hunting laws in your area may require that you DO NOT HAVE more than three shells in your shot gun at a time, however this is not a limit on your guns capacity.

Two of my brake barrel shotguns are single barrel. They do not have a leaver, they have a button. I, to reload, push said button and insert shell.
Inadequate for zombie survival but better than a rubber mallet.

My primary shotgun is my pump 410g that holds 4+1 (4 shells in the tube 1 in the chamber)


PS. Have you even seen the movie? He is a dork that lived by shear luck!"

"I'm hoping that they will be shamblers and not ragers. This is because I LIKE living, and if zombies were real and ragers, I am pretty sure that status would change pretty quick. However zombies are NOT real(yet). I think,though, that ragers would be much more likely than actual undead."

"okay lets be helpful, reanimation of a deceased person through means of...anything is absurd
the most realistic scenario for a "zombie apocalypse" is a bloodborne pathogen spread through saliva,blood, or other bodily fluids that causes the infected to essentially go insane with rage and attack

this being said they will very likely have all of the motor skills of your average human, minus some higher cognitive functions (hopefully) I,E. realizing switches turn on lights, buttons that open doors, ect
now mind you that the full cognitive abilities of an infected may not be impaired, if that is the case we are all ****** anyways because we will have zombies that can climb ladders and use reason to get to you.

it is very very likely they will have atleast a moderate running pace if not a full on sprint and i would plan according to that
worse case is im wrong and they are shamblers and you will have already planned for runners, making you that much more likely to survive"

"plus the fact that if it isnt an airborne pathogen any army will easily deal with a bunch of people running at them, apocalypse over."

"yeah same shamblers would be easy, just like the low rounds of cod while they're still walking and you can slowly knife them apart"

"Lets just say Zombie Land Like...

Unless there is a quantity of them you will not need to run much (depending on your shooting ability)

Take the scene from the gas station for example...

if he had shot the bathroom zombie
he would have scanned the area and quickly reloaded

heading back to the car he would have had one shot each, then reloaded

then could have checked the car and seen the zombie in back

no running required just good shooting... incompetence nearly killed him"

"Don't assume anything.

The existence of zombies would alter what we know about physiology, and the pathogen can theorietically alter the host in any number of ways. The old view of "dead" meaning dead, therefore no oxygen transport system to the muscles, has been replaced. Now, "dead" means "cerebral, cardiopulmonary and respiratory systems slowed to such an extent that there is no discernible difference between this comatose state and death".

A combination of physics, chemistry and biology knowledge can produce plausible explanations for almost every zombie archetye, with the exception of 28DL."
