I'd like to see this movie, but Woody Harrelson has been on my banned list for quite some time:
“We've killed a million Iraqis since the start of the Gulf war.”
“The war against terrorism is terrorism.”
"This is a racist and imperialist war. The warmongers... hijacked a nation's grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any non-white country..."
"I'm an American tired of lies. And with our government, it's mostly lies."
"Propaganda: this is a war on terrorism. Fact: this is a war for oil."
I will not help to enrich Mr. Harrelson, but I wouldn't begrudge anyone who sees the movie.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.

Red-box. He can have the - perhaps - $0.0025 he'll see from a red-box rental...

When have I ever vehemently disagreed with you?

I still say that the .600 Overkill is just that, overkill, unless they were lined up 12, 15 deep and the .577 Tyrannosaurus will bite them too, too much unless the same scenario occurs...

Better second shot recovery with the .400 - .425 range of NE and still more then sufficient penetration...

But I think I'd like something like Chris's Pelosi Politico Heart Attack with the 25 round drum magazine but on a Benelli M4 action...

One of the guys in the club is starting a new build...the .10 and .12 Squirrel on a Martini-Henry action for a switch barrel gun as he's got the .14, .17, .20, .22 and .24 already and he doesn't want to see a family broken up...Into the zombie's eye and it wouldn't exit the skull

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of 6.5x47 Lapua on a AR platform. Incredibly accurate round(800 yards and beyond) loaded with something in the 140 range(either Bergers, SMKs, or Lapua Scenars) Another option is 6mm PPC on an AR-15, only cut to take high weights, like say 90s.. Not quite the same range, but..

For close in work, well, how about a KA chainSAW scaled up to .308? :twisted:

We keep the .600 OK, the .550 Mag, etc for when the zombie elephants show up. :mrgreen:

I'm not going to even mention the raptor conversion. :shock:

You'd better HOPE that zombies don't run.

Half-Life zombies aren't just reanimated corpses, they're half-alien thanks to the mutations inflicted by headcrabs. They're another animal entirely. Without zero point energy and an overabundance of circular sawblades, I expect a shotgun will be sufficient for all but the poison ones.

Then you have your "infected" which aren't really shambling dead, they're just crazy dying people who want to bite you.

So yeah, zombie zombies do not run.
