As an experienced zombie response specialist (I have watched a few movies and read some novels), I have to say that most zombie response manuals, such as this one, are wrong. Zombies should not be incinerated or dissoved in acid. During a zombie outbreak, fuel is expensive and you don’t want to deal with hazardous material. In times like these, the simplest solution is the best solution. You should drive a nail into the skull of one of them and stick them to a board outside your house. This will not kill it of course but that’s exactly what we want. The zombie will keep groaning and like a scarecrow, it will drive other zombies from venturing into your area. To nail your first quarry, you need a shotgun. (Small pistols and revolvers are not recommended. A S&W .357 will do but may take multiple shots.) Train the gun on the zombie’s legs below the knees. After taking out the legs, destroy the zombie’s hands below the elbow. (Above-the-knee shots will drain the zombie of body fluids and will ruin the zombie’s usefulness.) Do not aim for the head or body, as that would totally damage the zombie’s audio output.

Zombie outbreak response manuals, such as this one, are invariably wrong.

World War Z (the novel, not the movie) seems to have the most authentic-looking zombie outbreak situation. The Thing by John Carpenter is good. The Return of the Living Dead is another good one.

After the outbreak, the world is most likely to be turned into what was imagined by Robert Rankin in his Rex Mundi series.
