the classic zombies aren't all that menacing; slow-moving, easy-to-kill... WWZ, DotD remake, 28 Days and their ilk have reimagined zombies as being not-so-much braindead screwheads and more like humanoid insects; fast and possessing limited ability to cooperate. Paraphrasing a line spoken in RotPotA, "[Zombies] together strong." Still, the largest concern will always be the enemy within. In an age of zombies, the true apocalypse lies in the Purge: that being that in he ensuing chaos, people are freed to express their innermost evils without fear of prosecution or reprisal. Hell, they probably don't even think they are the most likely to survive and are just out to get their sadistic jollies before they die. Cannibals, rapists, and other killers will rise closest to the top of the new food chain. I would try to be prepared to marched out on my own at a moment's notice just in case things went south between me and anybody I'm surviving with. Quiet as I am, I'm not suited to lead and I'm really not any better suited to follow. If I found myself in a communal compound, I would try to help the best I could and try to keep my eye out for those among us who are not the people they claim to be.

My weapon of choice would be a fire axe. I could use the blunt side at the top to bust zombies' teeth out. No teeth, no bite, no infection. I'd use the axeblade to chop their arms off. If they're slow moving, they can't try to ram me. They wouldn't be fast enough. I suppose if I let them get close enough they could still headbutt me, but I don't think they would. It's rare to see a zombie that will improvise by headbutting or even kicking. They pretty much only know how to claw and bite. Paraphrasing RotPotA again, "[Zombies] stupid."
