disabling a zombie
Jun 29 2011, 12:40 AM EDT
i have been telling my friend that if you shoot a zombie in the leg he would be able to walk but he keeps on telling me that he would fall over i told him that zombies dont feel pain but he said that their bone is shattered therefore the skeleton kinda collapses so i interpret him saying that he would use 4 bullets on disabling a zombie instead of shooting him in the head,

If it's a big enough round it could shatter the bone and cause the zombie to fall over. If it is say a .22, won't do much with a leg shot

If you want to disable it, put some ammo in the pelvis.

Save the bullets and break the lower jaw. If the zombie can't bite its disabled.

"Save the bullets and break the lower jaw. If the zombie can't bite its disabled."Purposely getting close to the jaw doesn't sound like a good idea... I'd rather use a bullet and stay safe. Do you find this valuable? |

You aren't really giving a whole lot of information.Where in the leg would you be shooting? From what distance? Caliber? From previous threads, consensus has been that if you have to "shoot to wound", for example if the zombies head is obscured by cover, or you simply can't make a small target shot, then generally you aim for the hip. A shattered pelvis makes it impossible to walk, and is a bigger target than a leg. Bonus, ricochets might travel through the spine, with increased chance of paralysis. Do you find this valuable? |

I know I posted about breaking the jaw and in retrospect that is a bad idea! However why disable the zombie in the first place? Slow it down maybe to get a better chance at the head? Then the hips are the logical choice.Do you find this valuable? |

whats the chance that a center of mass hit would create an exit wound through the spinal cord?

"whats the chance that a center of mass hit would create an exit wound through the spinal cord?"Not good if you ask me, because how wide is the spine? 2-3 inches? Not very big to me, rather go for the head or the pelvis to disable Do you find this valuable? |

In your opinion what would be the minimum caliber round to shatter a pelvis at, say, 50m?My money is on .308. But then again I might be over-estimating the strength of the pelvis. Do you find this valuable? |

"I'm sure something smaller like the .223 would do damage, but not splatter"Do you think it could truly shatter a pelvis to the point of non-use? Do you find this valuable? |

There's also nerves and ligaments to consider. I don't know what its called but theres one running down at the top of the leg close to the surface. Sever that and the leg wouldn't be able to move forward. I think the lower spine is the surest way to stop it walking, though.Personally, i'd just shoot it in the face. But never the dick. That's not cool. Do you find this valuable? |

If you can cut the spinal cord in the neck it will be helpless and you can shoot through the neck to do it

Andy - why waste the time and effort on disabeing? I think if you are going to attack...you should attack to kill.Muzzle - Breaking the jaw (as previously mentioned) is a bad idea. It's harder to do than you would think and it puts you in grave danger. The zombie could still kill you even with a broken jaw. alcon - nothing you say makes any sense to me. Your saying cut the spinal cord and then shoot it...through the neck? If you have already cut its head off...why do you need to shoot it at all? I say that if you can't make the head shot...then you should just Mozambique the mo-fo. Put two rounds into the sturnum or the pelvis (which are fairly large targets) and then one in the head to make sure the rotting puss bucket stays down...and be done with it.
