    Look like they'd do a great job of separating your metatarsals if you're not paying attention.

    Those work too. But you have to conserve ammo when you can. Non firearm dispatching of walkers is stealthy as well as a good way to get exercise.

    Does anyone know the BTU content of zombies ? I wonder if the limbs just pull of the trunk or ????

    This is part of my master plan for zombies. Collect the carcasses and use them to fire a power plant! :yes::fire:

    You could probably have about 600 of them or more turn a giant hamster wheel connected to a generator... bait them with a noise maker. Put axes on their arms and beepers on trees you want cut! Free Zombie labor! No union will ever object you!

    Yes. However I wonder how much a silencer on a gun would put zombies out of business. A well placed .22 LR sounds much more capable at a closer range...

    A little rusty on my zombie knowledge, Since they are the walkin dead/undead any limbs harvested would require significant seasoning time but the source since they are semi living do they regrow limbs? If so would coppice be an acceptable practice?

    See now, this I like as well. Strategically though, there is the chance of a mass escape. I figure that there will be plenty of zombies lying around. They'd need cleaned up any who. So may as well save the coal for a rainy day.

    I'm pretty well against zombies or any parts thereof that are "alive". I wouldn't trust a wriggling hand for a second! I don't think production of additional fuel would be necessary. Low surviving population means less strain on resources. :)
