There is a misconception among the public that we should clear up right now. Many think that you must remove the head of a zombie in order to kill it. Not true! You must merely damage the brain so that even the remaining primal sectors fueling the zombie urges for human flesh will no longer function.Basically, we're talking about blunt force trauma. Of course, there are many free objects that will handle this fine—anything solid, dense, and heavy will do. But to be on the safe side, you will want something that will allow some distance between you and your life-challenged tormentors.
In this case, the best option would a gun or firearm. According to gunbroker.com, you can pick-up a working machine gun for $1,500, but prices go on up to five-figures for the more deluxe models. But, as zombies are slow and lumbering, a lower range automatic weapon will likely suffice.
Machine gun a little too expensive? You could also pick-up a quality crossbow starting at only $250. Crossbows have the added benefit of having re-usable ammo. Once the head is punctured, just remove the bow, wipe off the zombie goo, re-load and you're good to go. Start practicing at one of these archery ranges near you
But without a gun, you can still pick-up a number of shorter distance weapons such as an aluminum bat, which you can pick up for $175, or a wooden bat (less desirable, but will get the job done) for only $50. Bam, boom, done. Here's the top 15 sporting goods shops in your city
