Your lack of faith in Evil Enterprises’s rescue services fills me with rage. I have ordered Bill Maher to be thrashed about the head and shoulders once a day until you apologize.
A .22lr? Penetrating a human skull? It might happen, but I’m betting most of the time, it’d lodge in the bone or slide off. You don’t want to risk taking a second shot with flesh-eating monsters coming atcha.
Most of the time? I don’t think I’d go that far. Once in a while, maybe. If we are talking about zombies as portrayed in The Walking Dead and various movies, I’d say quite seldom. Those zombies seem rather notably squishy, such that the characters have no trouble stabbing them through the head with folding knives or bursting their skulls wide open in the most spectacular fashion with a blow from a common garden spade. While the jaws and teeth are obviously quite sturdy, the actual cranial vault seems to be only a little harder than a nice, fresh pumpkin. A .22 is sufficient unto the day.
22 rifle with 50rd mags
22 pistol
kukri
2 x 550 rd boxes loose ammo
.22 is quite enough to scramble a cranium
A .22 goes into a coconut every time, and they’re the same strength as a human skull. A .44 magnum does horrific damage to coconuts if you’re looking for explodey overkill.
Four fried chickens and a Coke.
Any other approach is decidedly less than Jake.
