I think this'll be a good chance for everyone to learn so they don't go Z-hunting unprepared.
*UPDATE*
I'm sad and very ashamed to say that I have not been on this awesome, zombie-destroying site for about two years and I'm very glad y'all kept this thread going. I want MORE. I want you Z-Hunters to get ridiculous! Thank you guys for being good sports. And remember: NO FIRE!
Fire= Really Good, fire destroys the brain, really fast actually, and zombies are slow, so they would die, (so to speak) before they get to you if you run, now a bad weapon to fight the zeds is a knife, another would be something with a chain
Most living people who die by fire die from the shock of having their nerve endings burn off if they don't die from lack of oxygen first. Since Zeds don't need oxygen or nerve endings(presumably), fire in fact=not fast enough. If you are in a sanctuary that can't burn and have nothing else to do, have at it kid.
Nope listen everybody, no fire, no melee...
Just grab a truck use a bulldozer or something, get people inside and make them shoot to anything they see , this would make the job!!
Also if you put spikes on the wheels and some rockets....
What?! Do you know how many things a zombie bumps into when it walks? The undead are notorious for their lack of motor-skill. Now imagine the zombie on fire, and setting everything around it ablaze. I don't know what you've heard, but it takes a HELL of a lot of heat to burn a person through, which is why funeral pyres are so massive. To destroy the brain with fire is extraordinarily unwise in both matters of fuel required and time necessary to burn it through. Burning the head alone will work, if you have some time on your hands, don't get me wrong. But, if a dry wooden log roughly the density of the human head takes more than 30 seconds to burn, why use it on a real human head, full of fluids and the like?
imagine trying to cook a piece of bacon on a piece of wood, the bacon is a brain, the board is the skull and tissues, unless it gets through there they would still be up and at em
