How do you kill a zombie?

Answer 1

The simplest answer would be to remove or severely damage the head, and this works in many instances. However, decapitation or brain removal may not remove the mobility of the body or any separate limbs. The surest method is immolation, burning up the body entirely. (In some cases, setting a zombie on fire may only cause a mobile fireball.)

Another suggestion: landmines. The explosion caused will rip the zombie to shreds, which makes it quite harmless. Grenades, rocket launchers, or any other type of explosive can also work. (Again, be wary of body parts that may still be moving.)

If you ever find and take down a zombie, do not:

1. Leave the body there

2. Bury a body that still has its head, arms or legs still attached

3. Sit down next to a body that you shot only once or just whacked with a Baseball bat or something like that

If you ever find and take down a zombie, DO:

1. Shoot it twice in the head

2. Take the head, arms, and legs off

3. Burn it

4. Make sure it doesn't move again when you kick it

Zombies typically die with a bullet to the brain - most of the brain is destroyed anyway because of the disease. Decapitation will only immoblize the zombie's body, the head, on the other hand, is still very much alive. The only downside to shooting it is that if there are other zombies, that will attract them.
