Zombie Survival - Choice of Firearm

It's a very basic instinct for any animal, the need to eat.

It's a satanic impulse guided by dark magicks and evil spirits.

You mean zombies? or the impulse to eat food? Cause I'm talking about the virus kind of zombies that Romero invented, not the old fashion voodoo zombies and there was nothing satanic about voodoo magic. Every culture that precedes Christianty had a sort of magic and then oppose of that is dark arts. Just because it's "magic" doesnt mean it's satanic. Saying it isn't doesnt mean I support it. There is no black and white when it comes to anything. You have to look at it without bias. The moment you said satanic in your sentence means your response was influenced by christian roots or from media.

Well while we're on that topic....


Vampires: Mossberg 590 with mounted silver coated M9 Bayonet, sidesaddle mounted entry light, 12 Gauge shells with silver coated buckshot.

Unicorns Benelli R1 .30-06 and Rifle Sights

Keebler Elves (Assuming their evil) M1 Carbine, though most any gun will probably do

It'd be much easier to flamethrower the elves' tree.

That's also what I was trying to point out. Everything we know about supernatural beings are based on books, movies, TV, or video games and not science or logic. If we relied solely on science or logic, we wouldn't have supernatural beings. If George Romero says you can stop a zombie by severing the spine, then so be it. But if he says they can only be stopped by destroying the brain, that's also binding. He also says zombies are slow. But his zombies are only one type of zombies.

The "rules" don't have to make sense. You can shoot a werewolf in the head at point blank range, but unless it's a silver bullet, it won't stop it. Vampires are repelled by garlic, but not onions, potatoes, or cilantro. You can stop a vampire with a crucifix, but not a regular Latin cross, Greek cross, or a Star of David.
