Zombies are actually real. Being a zombie is a drug induced state brought on by a specific mixture of various chemicals that lower heart rate and breathing rate to being nearly undetectable. Another combination of drugs is used to get the body up and moving again while keeping it in a mindless stupor. Voodoo priests have been doing this in Haiti for years as a means of obtaining free labor. One of the most important ingredients is puffer fish poison.

So, yeah, no movie has portrayed real zombies ever.
Really? How's that supposed to work? Where did you read that anyway? I don't want to call you a liar but this sound s a little far-fetched and ridiculous.

Well that's what the term Zombie means BEFORE Romero took the term into what it is today. There was a movie before the 70s called White Zombie or something along that line where Zombies are done through magical means.

To wrangle this back on topic, if I wasn't royally screwed by gun laws then it'd have to be:
  • Browning Hi-Power
  • L115A3/Arctic Warfare Super Magnum Sniper Rifle loaded with .338 Lapua Magnum VLD rounds. (Currently holds the record for the longest sniper shot.)
  • Gerber LMF II for when it gets up close and personal, possibly dual-wielded MGS3 style (Not MW2 style) with the Browning

Unless you're underage or a former felon, what state's gun laws prevent you from getting these? I dealt with NJ gun laws for a few years, and even they have no issue with people owning a pistol with a 13 round capacity and a bolt action rifle. (And this is a state that won't let you buy a slingshot without a permit.)

I'm British. That's why.

Oh. Then yeah, that sucks. (The part about not being able to buy guns, not about being British.)

And when I said there's no science here, it's because WE'RE DEALING WITH A CREATURE THAT'S PURE FANTASY. You're assuming certain characteristics of zombies, characteristics that come solely from pop culture and maybe folklore. There is no established canon. We might as well be talking about stopping vampires, unicorns, or Keebler elves. We don't even know what causes zombies. The movies have had varying reasons (disease, space radiation, etc) and some of them don't even bother with origins.

You forgot one more thing that sucks: He lives in Britain, having to endure his rights slowly being taken away and the eventual collapse
