Not very well. To kill a zombie you need ideally to destroy its brain, or failing that do enough damage to the rest of it to render it immobile so you can then dispose of it without wasting ammunition. While you might do enough damage within a short range of the detonation to kill a few zombies, the mass of bodies will protect most of the zombies from it, and the noise will attract more zombies to you.
The preferred method would be to stay quiet and out of sight and wait for the zombies to go away.

Being friends with zombies is cool.


I don't know... maybe some mad scientist.
You become a zombie by having your brain eaten out, right?

Well, yes, that would kill the zombie, and the noise would attract a load more, and it's far less efficient than using a rifle (or even a crossbow to do it without attracting said load more zombies).


As for becoming a zombie, it's simply as a result of being bitten by a zombie. The whole craving-for-brains thing is a myth. Also, they tend to have a rather short attention span and won't eat other zombies, so few people are completely eaten. You just get a lot of zombies with a few bits missing.

Yes, yes I do. I'm really a highly-trained member of an international anti-zombie taskforce which is dispatched to quietly exterminate any reported outbreaks before they spread.

As for where the original zombie came from, who knows? MAYBE IT WAS ALIENS!!!

Pssh, no. Not aliens. They are born when someone alters reality by doing something that goes against their code of reality. I.e. my Humanities teacher being nice, my maths teacher not giving infinetismely long problems, or Ianna shipping something. That last one applies to Nathaniel as well.

When things like these happen, reality is altered, and anything could happen. Even a zombie infestation.
