Top 10

Capt'n Hawk's Top 10 things to consider when encountering an aggressive Zombie

1. Keep maximum distance between you and target.

2. The only way to drop a Zombie in one shot is a 'cranium shot'
This is hard enough to do if the target is just standing there. But if its coming towards you, forget it. In the movies a total novice becomes a gunslinger in one day (or 28). In real life to pull off a cranium shot with a hand gun, you would realistically need to be within ten feet, or one-two second distance. You miss, you probably don't get a second shot.

3. Go for a 'face blast'. Hit the face as many times as you can and hope for a lucky cranium shot. At least you will probably take out the eyes, rendering it blind. Or most of it's teeth, That will decrease it's damage capabilities. If you are in a group, and it's practical, call out the target and ALL of you take it out at once.

4. In a melee situation, if you only have a hand weapon, NEVER GET WITHIN ARMS REACH unless unavoidable.

5. Knee shot. (Melee) If it's coming towards you, and you only have a hand weapon. Let it approach, step to the side and swing at the knee. then take out the other knee. Thus dropping the target and minimalizing it's danger.

6. Face hit. (Melee) Avoiding the arms, stab at the face. try to take out the eyes and teeth. This will not kill the Zombie, but it will render it ineffective long enough for you to circle behind it and execute a cranium shot. Only attempt if you have a long weapon, such as a shovel or an axe.

7. Neck shot (Melee) Try to sever the spinal chord. If you succeed in this maneuver, the Zombie is rendered virtually harmless thereafter.

8. Tazer - Forget it. Undead do not have a functioning central nervous system.

9. Pepper spray - About as useless as kicking it in the bollocks.

10. ALWAYS wear protective eyewear and mask. Always wash, or dispose of (burn) clothing after an attack. Virus is not air bourne but highly contagious if it enters the blood stream.

Our 'Zombie Hunters' column is written by decorated British ex SAS (Special Air Service) Captain 'Hawk' Heath. His expertise in the field of Zombie suppression and extermination are becoming legendary in this nascent field of operation. Since leaving the SAS, 'Hawk' has teamed with fellow Zombie exterminator and ex US Navy Seal, 'Big Al' Powner. Together they supply their talents as mercenaries. And have become the recognized authorities to turn to when you need to 'clean house.'
