Zombie Survival Thread

[OlSheep]

I'm a "n00b" here, I've got tons of things to study, I'm stressed out, I saw this on CAD's (a webcomic) forum, I thought you guys might like it and that it would be entertaining :) . So here goes...

:ph34r:

The idea is that you have to plan your survival for a zombie outbreak in your neighborhood.

We'll suppose that the zombies are of the slow-dim-witted-flesh-eating-human-hunting-virus-induced type and that they have no supernatural ability of any kind (except, of course, for the fact that they survived death and that their bite will transmit the virus). Therefore, these monsters can't be put to sleep by a priest or anything linked with religion.

Your plan has to be good enough for you to live as long as humanly possible. We'll assume that the zombies die by themselves after an unknown amount of time. Consequently, the longer you survive, the better.

The plan you submit has to be realistic and fully realizable for a normal human being. To keep things interesting, the use of firearms is strongly limited to something realistic. You may not use heavy weaponry (rocket launchers, grenades, dynamites) or ridiculously powerful and expansive rifles/SMGs/MGs/etc. (remember that a "normal human being" isn't a professional sniper). You should also keep in mind that your ammo supply isn't infinite. In other words, you should stick to things you're sure to find in a common suburban house. Apart from these few rules, you may do things as you see fit (decide how you'd fight, where you'd hide, what you'd eat, whether you'd travel or not, etc.).

This is only for fun so your plan can be good even if it's very short.

Once a plan has been submitted, the readers should rate it on a scale going from 0 (instant-death) to 10 (cannot fail). If you feel like it, you may edit your post to include an average of the ratings you've received (please avoid editing it (changing the text it contains) after it has been rated though). If you want to rate a post, please clearly specify whose plan it is that you're rating.

That's it, I hope this'll be a good thread, I'll try to submit something soon.

[SwampThing]

All things being equal, I think they would attack humans before SwampThings, so my behind is covered.

Seriously - good idea for a thread - I'll have to think about this and get back later... :)

[Blood-Pigggy]

Wow, very nice idea Sheep.
Just gonna have to think awhile. :D

[Lonely Vazdru]

Ok, i live in a 26 floors building with a terrace roof and a swimming pool ! So i'll get up there with as much food as i can find and move and watch the show from there. When i run out of food i jump off the roof. What's the point of survival if you're the last guy on earth anyway ! :D

[OlSheep]

Hehe, take your time, I'm thinking about it too :) .

LOL , you know, planning to save your family/friends might have worked too.

[Lonely Vazdru]

Oh ! Then i'll plan to save Pamela Anderson, Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman and make good use of that swimming pool. Forget about my family and friends. LOL

I doubt this is fully realizable by a normal human being though :D .

[Lonely Vazdru]

Who knows ? I might get lucky, for once ! :bleh: And even one of them would be enough ! And don't forget i'm french ! :D

[Blood-Pigggy]

I give your plan a 2 out of 10.
You failed to realize that you need to board up the windows, destroy the stairs, reinforce your door, amass a LARGE storage, and secure your family.
The last thing you need is a emotional distress when you see your family as zombies, you want to shoot, but they're your family!
You were also missing proper equipment, a machete is required for zombie close combat, the only durable and powerful enough close ranged weapon for signifigant damage, another nescessity is a hatchet or fire ax, required for immediate escape through boarded windows or holding zombies out from the door. Any fires should be estinguished, and you should attempt to find some type of noise barrier, any small tiny noise could alert zombies to your area.
For ranged weapons, a good magnum or pistol is required, something that's cheap on ammo, pistols and magnums are last resorts though, as aiming is difficult, the shotgun is preffered choice, as most contact with zombies are close ranged, and a good close bang with the shotgun will almost completely destroy the zombie's skull, it's weak point. Included should be a rifle, if you wish to escape from any secured location, you would want a good sniper scope and stock with your rifle, so even as a newbie you can pick off the zombies then escape.
Backpacks are a must, and so is a good storage of dry foods, fresh meat such as cold cuts or any kind of raw/cooked meat will attract zombies. Your best bet is dried food, or food that needs to be hydrated to eaten. Beef Jerky or cold packs of pastrami will doo fine.

There are many more faults, but you should take these into consideration. :D

[Lonely Vazdru]

Wow ! It was not a long term survival plan but rather a "let's shag some cool girl senseless before i die" sort of plan ! :D So i rate myself a 1O :Brain: :cheers:

And firearms are supposed to be excluded from any planning. :ph34r:

[Blood-Pigggy]

WHAT!?
Old sheep, this is not okay, if firearms are excluded, there is no chance of survival, without any accuracte long range weapons, your only options are to run 24/7 which is not possible!

[Lonely Vazdru]

You a gladiator or what ? :blink:


EDIT : Alright, i stop spamming this cool thread; :angel:

Yeah, well, I believe that firearms would just turn everything into a big video game. The idea is to be inventive with your survival, reading about how someone would reenact doom just doesn't sound all that interesting to me :) .

[Blood-Pigggy]

Considering my expertise in weapons, yes. :bleh:

Here's my plan...
Find a area that's not too isolated, I.E. a small town, or not too populated. This prevents too large of a zombie horde.
In order to survive, I'd first have to find a suitable structure.
A emergency Entrance should be included, as in firestairs or such.
This would usually be buildings that only have one entrance, and a lack of windows, but MUST have two storys at least.
After securing the area, I would head out to find food and etc. If any zombies surround the area, I would wait until daylight (Zombies do not require perfect vision to see you) Then find the most stealthy approach to escape to a area with food.
If the hordes are too thick, I would have a vehicle prepared, most likely armored, stable, and fast. Using this I can most likely plow through any zombies before the vehicle is too damage to continue, and I'll have enough time to escape from the slow horde.
After finding the food, there will be a clear path around the zombies, this time not being restricted by having been stuck in a building. After returning to the home, I would enter through the "Emergency Entrance". Now stocked with food, I can commense to annihilating the zombies. Since I already have a steady arsenal at home (bows and crossbows) I could bring this along and secure myself with enough weapons.)
Going to the building's roof via the Emergency Entrance, I can commense to pick off any zombies there are, this would be difficult, as I need a supply of arrows or bolts, but luckily I'd have these secured by any sports or hunting stores in the area.
Once I destroy enough zombies, I'd finish the rest off with any close ranged items, because their numbers are diminished, it should be safe to run through and find a weapon.
Once I destroy all the zombies, I would secure myself in the building, keep my ears on the radio or TV in case there is any news from the outside world.
Once my food stores become low, I would start a trek to find a nearby area, where I can fortify myself again and resupply.
If I find any other survivors, I will most likely avoid too many companions, as cabin fever and paranoia are prime problems in these scenarios. I would most likely have only one companion, and try to secure his trust by providing him as I have myself.
A better partner would be a trained official, as in a policeman or soldier. They are cool under pressure, and more likely to resort to survival tactics instead of crying and moaning.

So in theory, I'd be hiding out the zombie apocalypse, and attempt to kill as many as possible when encountering them, lessering the amount of danger for myself, and thinning the ranks if any more come from some far away distance, along with everything else, this is a solid survival tactic.

P.S. Sheep, it won't turn into Doom if you tell people to be entirely realistic. This involves ammo, accuracy and the spare amount. Since these things are very rare, you can most likely single out any "gun rampages".

Ok, ok, I don't want the thread to turn into an argument about firearms so I modified the rules a bit. I'll let you edit your post before rating it :) .

[a1s]

uh... I want to clarify:

1)how wide is the zombie infestation? does it cover a city? or maybe a region? does it maybe have the potential to cover the whole world? and if so does it originate from one place, or will there be a zombies in every tenth random town regardless of dirrection?

2)how well in advance do we know about it? did we suspect it would happen days before it did (using confidential info+ because we were parandoid)? were we on alert when first reports came? or did we only see the danger when the slums across town started to fill with the living dead?

3)how well are we informed? do the officials calim it's a simple mistake, that will be corrected in a day? or maybe give us the whole info, including maps of infestation and sad reports of holy water failing where a good assult rifle prevailed?

4) What is going on with the living? are there looters and chaos? does everyone think it's just a big hoax? or is there martial law all around us, with looting being punished by death, and taking a harmless walk at night by spending the rest of it in a cold cell at the temporary miltary HQ?

4+)I realize this might not be know to us mortal men (so maybe you shouldn't answer this one), but are the armed forces actualy prevailing where they do enter fights?

[OlSheep]

My first impulse would be to say that all these things are up to you, really. But if you simply assume that everything outside your hometown is fine and dandy, your plan will receive a low rating :) . Still, if you need some kind of guidelines, here are my answers:

1) You should assume that the zombies will adopt the behavior one would expect from a human-eating animal. Therefore, the infestation is spreading rather quickly. Major cities should be considered as the worst possible place to be while smaller towns may contain a few survivors.

2) You have enough time to gather your gear and get out of your house (if you want to), don't expect much more. Stick to the fact that you've got to use things found in a common suburban house. You don't have food for ages, you don't have a bomb shelter, etc.

3) Blow their head up and they'll stay down, that's all you know.

4) That's really your job to plan any behavior you believe the civilians/survivors might have. Keep in mind that, once you open that door, you don't know what you're gonna find. Only one thing is sure: there are zombies out there.

4+) If you want your plan to be good, just assume the worst.

The point of the game is to be imaginative, you don't have to write a complete fiction about zombies for your plan to be both believable and good :) .

[a1s]

ok. here's what I would do.
the basis of this plan is best described in the folowing sentence: "this isn't my war, and I want to be as far as I can from it"
Now first of all, I want to find a good backpack. unfortunatley that would probably be the one I wear to school (in case there is few order, I might loot a better one from a shop). Being a geek, the first part of the things I would take with me are books (that would be chemistry, and nature survival guides, again better books are in the libaray, if I can lay my hands on them). a porstble radio (which I currently don't own, maybe I should...), and too many batteries for it (there is a much greater chance that I die, or the crisis is over, than that I run out). A kitchen knife. a spare pair of underware. a box of matches. the rest of the the bag is filled with high nutrition/ long preservation food. and I will try to find clothes that best fit the task of fast movement and preferably ones that are gree/brown.
now we get outside.
a)If it's orderly, my next stop is some sort of chemistry shop. I will need nitric acid, some cottons and sulphur, as well as something to disinfect the water. and drugstore for fist aid supplies. allso, it's important to get some animal fat.
b)if it's chaotic, carefully go taward the nearest weapon shop (up to this point the living were much scarier than the dead, and when they fear for their lives they will get even worse), either procure light weapon with adequate ammount of ammunition, or (if I see it has allready been looted or, g-d forbid, is guarded by armed men) get away as quickly as I can. pack store. libaray. food store. chemistry shop. drug store.
for added fun, i'll take some poison with me. next thing I need to do, is head for the nearest woods.
the rest of the day should be spent finding a good location for a shelter (you want it to have water nearby, and probably a few berry bushes). It is important to get away from roads, roads mean people, and people mean zombies trying to eat them (seeing how the zombies are spreading like wildfire they must be good at guessing where the humans are).
during the next days, I will have to study the books I have with me, allso, try to carefuly produce a few explosives (one way is to mix fat and nitric accid, getting a kind of low quality nitrolycerin, handle this one with care. or you could just grinnd some sulhur, coal and sapleter together. that's you old school black powder. you might even want to get it wet and dry it back, they say it improves the quality. by soaking a cotton in the fromer and adding it to a pack with the later you can get a nice hand granade, that explodes on contact with any object [make sure that object isn't your bottom, by any chance] ) and use the guides to find out which plants are edible in the area. the radio is a valueble tool, and even if I won't find out about the zobmies progress, knowing the weather for tommorow is allways a bonus.
depending on how the zombie progrees goes (we're assuming the worst if nothing is known), it might be a good Idea to head away from the zombies tawards safer lands, or (if they advance too quickly) try to find the perfect location for yourself and place a few traps around it (the zombies' best bet is catching me off guard, so it's more important that the tarps tell you they're near than dispose of one of them but leave me clueless, off course explosives work well in bot warining you, and sending them back to the grave).
I realy don't want to be a part of some zombies meal, so if worst comes to worst... I'll take the poison (it might not be my war, but I still like the home team better).
EDIT: there is one more unlikely outcome: if we win, I'll learn about that trough the radio, and come back to the city.

I like it! The knowledge to create your own grenades could be very useful. These things could protect you against many zombies at once. The books also have the added advantage of keeping your mind busy. It helps to prevent panic. Eventually, the batteries could also provide power for any gadget you may find.

Still, there are few things which could go wrong. Firstly, your food, water and shelter-building supplies are going to be limited. By hoping that you'll be able to find a river and the stuff needed to disinfect the water, you're taking a risk. Then again, limited supply is kind of part of the game and I doubt you'd die as long as you're able to find a river or a lake. Secondly, you are going to venture into very dangerous, enclosed and probably guarded/infested places. It's true that a drugstore may not sound appealing to a zombie but it will to someone desperate to find food, shelter, money and drugs. You also have to note that navigating in that kind of store is relatively difficult. This turns you into an easy target. Thirdly, you didn't mention any vehicle. Walking is silent but it's also slow. Visiting two stores without some kind of transportation means you'll spend a lot of time unprotected. Finally, the radio would produce noises. You'd have to travel deeply into uninhabited area before using it.

I'd say 8 / 10, your chances would be good (as long as you can avoid entering a deathtrap) but you'd need a bit of luck too :) .

[Bobbin Threadbare]

Here's my real short plan:
1) Get a backpack.
2) Fill the backpack up with water and bananas.
3) Get a handful of packs of matches.
4) Get fireproof gloves.
5) Get into a highly barricaded building that's relly high.
6) Go to the top floor.
7) Flame any zombie that attack with matches, then push them out the window.

This thread sounds a lot like Urban Dead (http://www.urbandead.com)
You can start as a zombie (you've got beter zombie abilities if you start as a zombie) or some sort of human. When you die you're a zombie. This is an RPG. Very simply made too. Also made by the creator of Graaaag! (http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?Bobbin%20Threadbare).

[OlSheep]

Here's my strategy:

My personnal philosophy would be to leave the suburbs as fast as possible. I don't think I could handle the pressure of being barricaded in a building, waiting to die.

The first thing I'd do is grab my backpack. I'd fill it with dehydrated food and anything that isn't perishable. I'd also get as many plastic containers/thermos/bottles as possible and fill them with fresh water.

As far as weapons are concerned, I don't know anything about guns. I'm Canadian and I'm definitely not a hunter so this leaves me empty-handed. However, I do own a big hunting knife which I'd take along with a big bread knife, just to be sure. Should I ever meet a zombie face to face, I'll have something to stab its head with.

I'd also grab a flashlight (since night can be quite treacherous), a few BBQ lighters (lighting a fire reveals your position but it can also keep you from freezing, it gives you the mean to cook food and it can be used as a weapon), my tent (it can't offer much protection but, at least, it would keep me from sleeping in the open), batteries, any device capable of receiving AM/FM tranmissions (good idea a1s), fishing supplies, a map and some sort of portable saw capable of cutting through metals.

Then, I'd get in the car and drive as fast as possible to the seaport/to a marina. It's a very big risk, but the idea is to steal a boat as soon as you can. Driving around could be very dangerous. Traffic, cars left behind, zombies blocking streets. The idea is to scan the road ahead, always be ready to turn around and stick to the small streets. While trying to find a suitable boat (it should be able to function without an engine), I'd keep an eye on my surroundings. At the first sight of movement, I'd jump in the water. Zombies are slow, swimming won't be their forte. Stealing a boat that doesn't require an engine shouldn't be too hard since I have a saw.

With a good boat, the only thing left to do is to make sure that you can keep yourself properly supplied. You can navigate to a wooded area if you need worms (to fish) or if you need a fire (to cook). If you are in a lake, there should be fresh water all around you (even if it's not as clean as it should be, it should be enough to keep a human alive). If not, you can always use your map to find a suitable spot for this particular ressource. Should the boat offer little protection againts the elements, I'd try to open my tent in it (it should be fairly easy to attach the tent so that it provides satisfactory cover, even if it has to be in an uncomfortable way).

Since the lighters can't last forever, I'd try to spend some time trying to learn how to make a fire only with two pieces of wood. I should have plenty of time for that.

That's it!

[Alf Hari]

I like the idea of the boat, but have you seen Dawn of the Dead?
In that movie, they eventually drive to a seaport and board a boat but they run out of water and the island they escape to is infested by zombies and they die.

I just saw this thread, but I have some ideas that I'll think over.

[Kearnsy]

Ok what I would do sounds kind of similar to the other plans ie: run to the woods etc.

Firstly me and my dad go backpacking and camping all the time so I would run to my garage grab my nice (and big) hiking pack fill it with dehyrated food (about 1 meter away) and grab the small pot with matches and water purifing tablets (also 1 meter away and in one container! [we're so organised!!! LOL ] ).

Run to the car and grab warm clothes on the way, get the wood cutting axe next to where the car is and drive for about 30 minutes until you get to 100 of square kilometers of rich NSW bushland!!!!!

This is the only hard part, my house is not very close to the town center but the way out is through a major road. So either try your luck through traffic or go through smaller residential roads that would take longer. I'd say that we would be able to leave quickly so this may help.

Due to my knowledge of surounds I could go to remote locations and even trails that you need to walk into (that will slow them down!!)

If we encounter a zombie walker or ranger you've got the wood axe for a blunt blow to the head.

Now that I think about it I should be fairly safe in case of Zombie attack.
Neighbours are also never home!!!! :ok:


The ideal plan (not realistic) would be to live on a costal house with a big boat so you can load up and sail out to sea + be able to stay out there for a while also your not very close to major cities.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Tip: Zombies are not afraid of fire, they do not care, because they are ZOMBIES.
In order to prevent any gruesome occurances, please restrain one's self from advising fire as a weapon.
As we all know... the last thing we want after us is a flaming zombie.

I've just tried the game. It's fun, we should create an abandonia group (and call it "The Abandoned" or something like that) :) .

I've been playing that for quite some time, I have a scientist charecter (named a1s :w00t: ), so don't hestiate to ask for a revival (in case you need one).
P.S. do you gain anything from that brain eating link?

I'll add you to my contacts if I see you. My character is a firefighter (I went with the melee zombie-killing machine class since I don't have a group to play with) named "Mike Rowave" (trying to be funny). I'm currently resting in a building near Woodthorpe Plaza [27, 46] in Lukinswood, feel free to say hi if you see me (unless, of course, you're playing a zombie).

[EDIT]: Having "Mike Rowave" as my nickname wasn't really practical so I created a new character named "OlSheep". I'm in Scarletwood, almost all the buildings there are heavily barricaded so I got stuck in a bar with a civilian who has "Vigor Mortis" as his only skill *sigh* :( .

[Sean]

My dads a chef.. I'd grab a meat cleaver... and go play some hacky sacky with zombie heads!

I'll write a propery strategy later...

first off, you can play as both if you want (you are limited by 150 connections from a unique IP per day, but not by the number of charecters you can have).
and second you can get out of a heavily barricaded building by clicking on a neigghbouring building (or street), surprisingly enough most people do not know this. :blink:
oh, and don't kill that civilian guy just because he has "rigor mortis"- he's mostly harmless as long as he is alive.

[Alf Hari]

I just started playing the game after reading this thread. It looks cool, but I got mauled by a zombie and am slowly dying from the wound. Is there anything I should do about it?

Also, where is it okay to leave the character logged-off? The guide said not to stay in police stations, but if there are more than 20 people there is it okay?

Try to find a Hospital and ask there for help.. in hospitals are almost some Docs who can heal you.. btw. zombie infection can be cured with a first aid pack..

it depends how strongly the PD is secured, but 20 or more survivors in there gives you enough safety to rest one or two days in the Building

I know I can play as both, it's just that I felt it would be better to use a name that would be associated with me, no point in playing two firefighters... And, of course, you can leave a building any time you want, it's entering it that can be a problem (unless you've got free running) :) . I didn't kill him, I waited an hour for the APs and moved somewhere else. It would have been hard to kill him anyway, I only had 1 AP left.

Seriously though, I think it could be fun to create a group, pick a suburb and "capture" a one or two buildings in it. If there's enough interest, someone could create a UD thread and we could try to build something there...

It seems that there are many groups in the game and they all seem to roleplay their political system enthusiastically. Sounds fun.

Cool topic! :ok:

I live in two story building, right above the drug store. When i understand the situation, i will get a backpack and the following equipment:

1.Kitchen knife- Very sharp.
2.Food and something to drink
3.lighter
4.Rope
5.Warm clothes
6.Something to read-if i have to camp in somewhere and wait for long time
7.Pen and Paper
8.Camera-For some evidence
9.Red Cape-This is from the last years halloween party (Not a kids party). If im going to crawl in the middle of the zombies, it will do it with style.

Goal: Those who stay on their homes are doomed to dead. If i were a computer game hero i would go and find out where these zombies come from. But because im not, the main goal is the get the hell outta here. Im going to leave this zombie-infested place and head to the next city. If i cant hear anything about the zombies when i get there, il explain everything to authorities.


Plan: First, il make a hole trought the living room floor so i can make it to the drug store. Inside the store, il try to find some medicine or something that will help me.
Im going to have to be careful all the time and look out for zombies.
When im outside, im going to have to look for a vehicle. I will start the car with sharp knife. If i cant find a vehicle or i couldnt start it, il use my feet.
Then, im going to look for other survivors. If we stick together, we have better possibilities to survive.

if already came up with the idear of building a Abandonia Group.. here (http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7671) i believe that this could be funny.. but for building a group that is able to work together as a group, we need at least 10 members..

I've playing Ud with 2 char. one undead and one firefighter.. the undead is already in a group, the Ridleybank Resistance Front, but my Firefighter needs a group, cos it's freaking lonley out there if u don't recognize some friends :D .. so if we plan to build a human group, then my lonley FF would be happy to join..
but let's see if there are enough ppl here who are interested in such a "Abandonia" UD group..

It looks cool, but I got mauled by a zombie and am slowly dying from the wound. Is there anything I should do about it?

Also, where is it okay to leave the character logged-off? The guide said not to stay in police stations, but if there are more than 20 people there is it okay? [/b]
Save your last 10 APs on looking for a house that no one cares about and is barricaded. Zombies can't get into barricaded buildings.

I've been playing that for quite some time, I have a scientist charecter (named a1s* ), so don't hestiate to ask for a revival (in case you need one).
P.S. do you gain anything from that brain eating link? [/quote]

Can you use revival if you start as a Zombie Corpse?

No, except the larger my zombie army is!

i'm gonna stay on topic
so

heres my plan i head to the shopping centre and there is a cool gothic decoration shop which has big swords so i can defend my self

oh and to defend myself while i get there i use my wok

and then me and my freinds break into boots or superdrug and get lots of deoderant and then toy shop for ball bearings so we can put these on fire covered with ball bearings to blow up and fire balls at high speeds towards zombies and have a minibus to escape in but me stupid person so i might impale my self on sword :D

[Toxik]

AARGH! AARHG!
Dead thread has been awakened!
Zombie threads are walking on the surfaace!
End of da world as we know it
:D

[Stebbi]

okay here is my plan......

1.Get firearms, at my house we have about nine guns and loads and loads of ammo, and a bow and five arrows, one bog axe and two small one's.
2. Save as many ppl from zombies in the town, there are about 3000 people in the town,
stay in one group(the family). Save the president(yub the president of iceland lives in a small town).
3.Get the most people in the sport center, people that can't fight stay there, set up HQ in the sport center, make a plan, put up fences and walls (there only one way in and out of the town so put up fences and walls there)(see nr.1 on pic)and i doubt that the zombies can swim.
4.collect all the food in the sport center, devide all the food equily for the people. Set up an armed task force, to search every house for zombies, and collect food.
5.put up guard tower's if a zombie are seen (see number.2 on pic)
6.Try contacting the outside world for any help, any nation to send some army or send supplies.
7.Check the other towns, get food there and try to rescue people.
8. after the town has eliminated the zombies in the town, people can return to theyr home's but always go to the sport center to get food.
9.Get stuff from shopping malls and store's. we got farm animals in the town so we would use them for food and stuff.Get more firearms to protect the town from zombies im sure there are other people in the town that has guns other than my family).

So that's the plan... :ok:

EDIT:remowed bows and arrows.

Thats why the guard tower are there near the coast.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

only use guns in an emergency use the bow and arrow often because the arrow's are retrievable.
Do arrows have any effect on zombies? Earlier in the thread, OlSheep said something like "Blow their heads off and they'll stay down." You'd need an awful lot of arrows (or one really big one, I guess) to do that. Regular arrows might only turn regular zombies into prickly zombies.

[Stebbi]

well those arrows are used to hunt bears and i think bears are stronger than zombies.

[Fruit Pie Jones]

Hmmmmm, I dunno. Even if you don't hit a vital spot, as long as you put a big enough hole in a bear, it will eventually lose consciousness from lack of blood. Zombies don't do that.
