I was just throwing Keebler Elves out there as an example. I bear no ill will toward the Keebler Elves. And if I were ever charged with eradicating them, I want them to know that for a price, I can look the other way.

You can't pick and choose which scientific rules you're going to follow.

You also can't use science to explain what is clearly a supernatural being. Can you stop a ghost by shooting it in the spine? How about a vampire? Or an angel?

You're still not getting it obviously. I'm not talking about any nerves, blood circulation, breathing or anything except the structure. If the center of a structure is removed, it collapses. That's it.

And I love how when I prove you wrong in a subject, you try to change it. First, it was weapons of choice, then it was zombies are fantasy, then it's that science should not be involved. Wow, good job buddy. So stop crying about other shit to avoid that matter of the real subject.

You also contradicted yourself by saying that zombies are supernatural. In some situations they're not, as in 28 Days Later. Is that choosing a science? Or that your weapons of choice is based on slow zombies? Why do you get to chose and say that chosing sciences are ridiculous?

As I've said before, DEFINE ZOMBIES. I'm thinking reanimated undead. I'm thinking George Romero, you know, the guy who invented the genre. I never watched all of 28 Days Later. Are they dead before they turn on people, or is it merely a disease? If they are dead first, and then they're reanimated, then it IS fantasy. Something that was never dead is not a zombie. I'm not changing the subject, I'm just reiterating a point you're obviously not getting. Your thinking behind your weapon selection is entirely based on a theory derived from science, that stopping a zombie is similar to stopping a human, and I'm just pointing out that when dealing with supernatural creatures like zombies, science and logic is irrelevant.

It sounds like you're just talking about killing living, yet diseased human beings who won't shoot back. Hell, that's easy. All you have to do is hope that UPS can still deliver your mags when the streets are overrun with crazy diseased people.

If you somehow remove a zombie's ability to stand up straight, it's still going to crawl towards you with its arms, moaning "BRAAAAAINSS" the whole way.

Romero zombies or the zombies that is mostly used in popular culture don't talk and especially dont scream "brains". That was from one single movie where the whole brains line is more of a parody on zombie movies

I've only seen one of the movies, but from what I've heard they are all horrible
