How would YOU kill a zombie?

[w3rdtoyamama]

I'd shoot them from the 2nd floor of my house. If they were the slower, walking zombies, then I'd start wacking with an axe or shovel.

[Concray]

Screaming and flailing.
Screaming like a little girl and flailing like a bear on acid...

[wozzy123]

"Just shoot them in the head."

That's the right answer, by the way. Every zombie movie seems to confirm it. But, if we're just doing this as an exercise in creativity...

1. Shoot in head with firearm.
2. Shoot in head with bow & arrow (my current ones might be inadequate but good ones would work)
3. Crush skull with pick handle
4. Crush skull with aluminum baseball bat
5. Crush skull with claw hammer
6. Split skull with Gerber Sport Axe (in BOB).
7. Split skull with Woodman's Pal.
8. Split skull with tomahawk.
9. Split skull with khukri (current one isn't very sharp or well made)
10. Split skull with machete (I am skeptical about the effectiveness of this)
11. Bash in head with shovel
12. Bash in head with e-tool
13. Bash in head with metal-headed cane
14. Bash in head with holly wood walking stick
15. Bash in head with Maglite
16. Run over skull with Jeep Cherokee
17. Spear in head with atlatl (I'm not good enough to actually do this, I think)
18. Stomp in its head with my boot
19. Push it down the stairs into the basement, then drop something heavy on its head
20. Trap it in a building, then set the building on fire
21. Push it through a hole in the ice, deal with it in the spring.
22. Push it out of an airplane (don't own one of these, but, you know...I fly on them sometimes...)
23. Push in front of el train (this method is definitely lethal, there are at least a couple of el suicides each year here)
24. Push into shark tank at Shedd Aquarium, Sea World, etc. (might result in zombie sharks, or the zombie might kill the sharks)
25. Send it back in time to fight dinosaurs

Um...that's all I've got.

Wow Last five are my favorite....mmmmm Dinosaurs

[ozwyn]

Tell the zombie to get back to the fucking MVA.... all the zombies inthe world are employed by the various state/local motor vehicle associations.

It explains everything, really.

Failing that, shoot it.
A lot of zombies... fucking ammo prices. shoot them all and bitch about how much it costs.
Yet more zombies? The Mobile woodchipper is sounding good.

[Hachiman]

Ballista and a nice pile of sharpened rebar bolts...

[Shadow_Man]

Since they are attracted to noise I've always wondered why no one ever thinks to use a pistol or rifle with a silencer/suppressor. Personally either a .22 or 9mm pistol with a laser and silencer attached. Put the red dot on their head and "POP-POP-POP" and watch the Zeds drop! While I actually did study a little Kendo back in the day...I really don't want them that close.

[Birdman44]

Supressors don't make a weapon completely silent though, although a .22lr seams like it could get quite quiet! If i wanted it dead quietly I think i would hit it as hard as a could in the back of the neck with a machete trying to sever the spinal cord. Other than that I would shoot them in the head.

[Mr. E. Monkey]

Haven't you seen Flight Of The Living Dead? The CIA or someone put it in the cargo hold to transport it for use as a bioweapon. Alternately, maybe someone got bit before boarding and got on anyway? Anyway, I could use my seat cushion to push him out, that way he'd just grab the cushion instead of me. It would make him float if he landed on water, though...

Great, now how do we kill a zombie floating out at sea?

I was going to carve a replica of a brain out of sodium, but whatever floats your boat/sinks your zombie.

How on earth did I miss your reply? That is awesome!

[Mr. E. Monkey]

Bring the rain!

If it doesn't kill them, they'll have an awful headache, at least.

[TerryGecko]

If Zaks are coming in my bedroom single file I think I would grab a Ko Katana and remove heads until we could barricade it up while my wife helps.

If they are in the way of us getting to our vehicle (not too much congestion, just a dozen or so) and the next step in my plan requires me to be driving I would grab my FNP-9. Since all I am trying to do is get to my car quickly, I would aim for the head but wouldn't really need to kill them. If I can "push" them back enough to safely enter the car I would be satisfied.

[onlythestrong]

Quickly.

[Birdman44]

Well, first there would be a loud sound, then my shoulder would jerk back a little bit and then the zombie would drop to the ground with the top of his cranium missing Unless I have no boomstick at the time, in which I wouldn't try killing it, I'de try to find said boomstick.

Don't forget the blue wire.

[Lunatic Brandon]

Shooting from high up and setting up traps would work well. Even bear traps or deep holes would trap them until they eventually rot away or allow you to deal with them later. Homemade explosives would work well too.

[Oneswunk]

With kindness

[Oneswunk]

D tap.

[Towanda]

In order of preference, using only things I currently own, all aimed at the head:

16-ga. round
16-ga. shotgun butt
16-ga. barrel
Baseball bat
Titanium crowbar
Hatchet
Mora

[JokerDemon19]

i would take them out from afar with a crossbow, i would decapitate them with my kitana, or just blow their heads off with my sawed off shotgun...
i have many different ways to kill zombies but heres a little somethin...

[Towanda]

I forgot to add 16-oz claw hammer to my list above, right between hatchet and mora.

[AZMedic]

Well I would use the machete on my right then grab my handgun when I could. After I run out of ammo I guess shut the door and rip the blue wire from my computer and wrap it around the door handle. TRY TO OPEN THAT! ITS BLUE WIRE!

Ah shit I dont know about the big window.....

16 seems to be your number...

[DOOMCREW]

I sleep in the basement and my weight bench and set is right next to my bed. I think a 6' long solid steel bar to the noggin would at least deter them. I don't keep any guns loaded or at arms reach or under my pillow or anything. But after the knock to the head I think I would casually walk over to my lockbox and remove my pistol and put a magazine in it and then go inspect what I 've done.
