Also, the more plausible zombies (e.g., rage virus zombies) aren’t actually dead at all -— more like people with rabies.
In such outbreaks, head shots are not necessary, but that advantage is somewhat limited, in that rage virus zombies are damn fast and relatively smart/tool using.
I find it sociologically fascinating that in 2n Amendment America, we developed the mythos of the flesh-eating living dead that need a gunshot to the head (or seriously grisly up-close-and-personal blunt trauma) to stop, where in disarmed England, they came up with the 28 Rabies Later mechanism that really just creates a plague of Rage Boys without dole cheques.
Our zombies are slow, dim-witted cannibalistic Democrats, theirs are smart, fast moving Muslims.
That's my take anyway.
