Napalm doesn't work too well on Zombies, no pain receptors.

Yeah,  but zombies don't work so well on planes. Cos they can't fly.

Napalm is a goood idea. Except for the problems with quantity. Our best bet is awesum antivirus stuff.

You know, Romero zombies can feel pain, which is why they eat brains. There are chemicals in them which stop them from feeling the pain of decomposition for a while.

So, we're good on working on a bacterial agent that boosts decomposition?

My guess is that arsenic could work as a good base for an effective chemical. I dunno, anyone that knows chemistry and biology could come up with a better idea with this plan. I'm just pulling ideas out the ass here.

I'm more of a tactician when the time comes to handle the situation. If anything, I want these rotting sacks of flesh to be no more than jello by the time we encounter them. Less work.

Nevermind, it would be more work than I previously thought. Though not a virus, we would need an anti-biotic in order to settle any other infections, unless we make it a liquid contact method, instead of an airborne bacteria. Unless we can develop a sort of spore that feeds on the flesh of zombies.

EDIT:
Got another idea: Sulfuric Acid Misters

Corrode them apart. Allow them to get coated in enough of it, they'll be no more than jello.

The misters are a fun idea when you first think about it, but there's really three things you gotta remember.

1: Where are you going to get all of this acid, and how are you gonna have it enough for practical sustained defense?

2: Your equipment is gonna either be impossible to maintain or require ridiculous maintenance if your raining out fucking ACID on things.

3: Thirdly, all of this acid, if both one and two are defeated as problematic, coated everywhere, not just the zombies, would make the place you poured over a perpetual HAZARD.

Dwarfy, yes.

But we're no Dwarves.

YET.

 We need more acid on our skins to make the hair grow out for that.

You can run out of weapons...


Guys, I don't believe zombies will be deteriating over a certain point, zombies still eat to provide energy for their bodies, thus they need some form of work inside them. I think that decapitating them is the only real way to go.
Zombies are probably more humanlike then we think!

Also, Sofi, you still have not thought up a food solution XD

Can I join the resistance btw?

To play devil's advocate, Sulphuric Acid is one of the most common industrial acids. (According to wikipedia, world production in 2001 was 165 million tonnes). It's used for a lot of things and produced on a massive scale. If you end up near a factory you'll have lots. Though for everyday zombie melting I think Hydrochloric Acid would work better, it's raw materials are much easier to source (chlorine substances is found in bleach and pool chlorine).

Though if you're going for acids, why waste it on Zombie melting? Mix Nitric and Sulphuric acid with Glycerol (available in many household products) and you've got Nitroglycerin. While corroding zombies may not be the best method, blowing them into small bits would work nicely.

Nitroglycerine. As in, Glycerol - Trinitrate.

Very dangerously explosive, with roughly ten times the power of pressured gunpowder.

Very easy to manufacture.

And one of the most unstable substances in the world.




For some reason, this is turning me on.
