Killing undead

We all know undead are OP, what is a effective way to kill a pack of 5 zombies (from evil biomes, not a horde from a tower)

Axe, targeted shot to remove the head and arms, with luck fifteen strikes should remove all of the grasp tagged parts. Sometimes beheading works with randomly encountered zombies but not always, still I try to take a head off first unless I get a really good arm shot.

I personally subscribe to the plan of running the opposite way until I run out of land :)

A screeching clown car pulls up to the safe house!
Circus members pour out of it and start throwing pies at the windows!

Bite the zombies. Logic dictates that when a human bites a zombie the should turn back into a human. Or into a werehuman. This should be a viable strategy in dwarf fortress.

Honestly, you could always... Disable all of them and then move on.

Sure you won't get the 'kill' but "unable to hurt you" might as well be dead.

But that's no fun nor challenge, is it?

If I get lucky and there is a hamlet/town nearby I lure corpses to the living.
1. The undead will be dead (undead-dead).
2. Some townsfolk will be slain in the process and therefore I get nice loot or something worthy to trade for nice loot.
3. If some people show some talent in destroying these corpses (and aren't crippled thereafter) I recruit them as they proved themselves worthy.
And last but not least:
It's fun to watch.
