My point is the same why you don't use a .22 for self defense. You don't want it kinda stopped. I want it to drop lice a sack of potatoes. Slow moving or not...a zombie needs to go down for the count b/c you know he brought a few friends with him. Do you want to HAVE to hit them just right with a .22 or blow it to bits and worry about the next one trying to gnaw your face off. Just my apocalyptic two cents.

Zombies are not slugs! Taken the head off is the ONLY way. I think a .22 would not do enough damage to stop the staggering threat. Yes it would bounce around but is that little pebble of a bullet really going to be enough to sever the head of an undead? I think not. I think a well placed 9mm or .380 might, but a .22 is a slim chance in my eyes. Bring on the black rifles and shot guns. You don't want it kinda stopped when all it takes is a transfer of bodily fluid and BAM!!! your infected. You want that thing DOWN. That or sit on a roof with a long range set up and some cases of ammo. But you start fairing something like that and you will get all of their attention. You need an acid moat or a bunch of wood chippers around your strong hold to keep them off the structure itself. They are not intelligent, just strength ins numbers. So find a way of neutralizing them in numbers. Think smarter not harder.
