LeviEstock	1. RE: sweet and easy Mar 19 2012, 11:48 PM EDT I will assume you are military or have watched plenty of military movies. While this tactic is the Gold Standard for a human being as it ensures death. It is not a practical application for zombies. Remember, zombies can only be killed by destroying the brain (where the main concentration of the Solanum Virus is at.) The brain is the only active/alive organ in the body that continues to remain alive after reanimation. The virus affects primarily the frontal lobe of the brain. Therefor to shot it twice in the chest is useless except to momentarily slow it down. Zombies to react to pain so only the momentum of the blast would slow it down. You must shoot them in the head, PERIOD. Anything else is a waste of time and ammunition. References: THE BIBLE (The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks) Post reply 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

They could become ragers and only need a few shots to the center mass. Post reply 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
shadowmancer	7. RE: sweet and easy Mar 20 2012, 3:34 AM EDT \| Post edited: Mar 20 2012, 4:02 AM EDT The Zombie Bible first and formost is the Necronomicon. This book was postulated by H. P. Lovecraft in 1924 as a base for his horror fiction. Zombie survival guide is just a poorly worded shadow of elements of Lovecraft and other masters of the horror arts. The Necronomicon follows a long tradition of the "forgotten or secrect tome" in literautre. Max Brooks is a plagerist and should be consigned to the dung heap of history. In relation to head shots: a paraplagic zombie is just as good as a dead zombie so head shots aren't all that important. A shotgun loaded with buckshot to the upper spine and voila a harmless immobile corpse. If the brain cannot transmit data because the connection is severed the limbs wont move and they cannot attack. Unless twiching eyes bother you headshots are a waste of effort. References: Biology, Masters of horror fiction such as Lovecraft. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

References: THE BIBLE (The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks)" Here at the ZSDW, we don't generally refer to the ZSG as a Bible or practical survival guide. While the book had some good ideas, it is primarily a satire written about a fictional creation. So, nothing in there can be passed off directly as fact. For example, "Solanum" is actually a genus of plants, not a virus of any sort. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Obviously it's satire, that doesn't mean that the general information contained in the book can't be extrapolated and put into practical use. I'm not a Max Brooks groupie, but I get so tired of people bashing the man and the book for taking an archetype of a typical zombie, building a book with a lot useful knowledge, and adding a dash of fictional work to tie it together. For that matter, nothing any of us believe to be true about zombies can be passed of as fact because they aren't real! YET. Hell some people say the the bible has a lot fo stuff that can be passed off directly as fact, yet Christianity is one of the major religions of the world. I'm military, so am I rolling out with a copy of ZSG in my backpack and nothing else for reference? No, I'll have more. BOTTOM LINE: I should have specified my intent V.S. making a light hearted off the cuff statement, yes. Should everyone back off the ZSG and appreciate it for what it is and take the proverbial zombie survival stick out of their @$, yes. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
shadowmancer	10. RE: sweet and easy Mar 20 2012, 7:55 PM EDT \| Post edited: Mar 20 2012, 7:56 PM EDT well the information has to be factual to be extrapolated. I've read the book it's logic is very faulty. The facts that can be extrapolated to form coherint theories are based on current human biology or the laws of physics.

The reason Jim said what he did is because you tried using the zombie survival guide to make Khrushchev's post moot. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
