I put Zombies to work on the trucks. It was an intimidating site. Not because I dressed them up in horrible spiked collars and had bolts driven into their skulls with Roman head dresses made out of hardened steel bolted 2 inches from the skull for that open feeling. No, I went the other way and dressed them as IBM salesmen. Whole Men in Black thing going on. Even the stupid little ear bud with a clear wire going into it. Like that would matter to Zombies. But of course salesmen, even the famed IBM salesmen were not going to be that scary unless that had the right weapon.
The famous AK-47 is lightweight and can hold lots of ammo. Problem is that Zombies can’t shoot. Everyone knows it, but everyone knows Zombies can pull a trigger and point, there were lots of videos on the Internet showing Zombies soldiers having a hell of a time shooing everything trying to be what they once were. Usually resulting in flesh flying in all directions from the bullet impacts. At first I was thinking about giving them the old fashioned double barreled shotgun. Just point and bang. Even a Zombie can do that. But it just doesn’t work with the suit. They needed a shotgun on the AK-47 platform.
