Aren't they technically still alive? Couldn't you finish them off with a commando neck break or dim mak?

I'd say a formation of pikemen, interspersed with other fighters in between, armed with shorter momentum weapons (bludgeons, axes, machetes, hammers etc). The pikemen stop/impale charging zombies, and the guys in between finish them off with blows to the head and neck, and clear the spearheads for more action. Old school group tactics ftw.

You know what would be badass? Mounted cavalry with sabers vs zombies.

EDIT: actually, if the zombies are carrying a zombie virus in the blood and fluids, maybe my edged weapon strategy isn't so good. Everyone cover yourselves with trashbags, Gallagher style, before battle.

i like the psychology of san soo, phut ga- no regrets no mercy. i recon most people would be got by the first infected they meet, if that is your relative or friend it would be pretty tough to do them in. imagine your child!
i favour aikido and judo also for thier use of the agressors energy and momentum against them, if you have a lot of destroying to do its gonna be pretty hard work so i would want something pretty efficient.

two zombies playing cards
one threw in his hand
the other laughed his head off

ya...my future wife or kid turns into a zombie, i'll tell them i love them, then promptly smash their heads in with my gloved fist until the blood bubbles stop.

There's no trace of your friends or family left once the zombitis takes over, it's kill or be killed. Me personally? I'm taking my razor sharp replica buster sword (ultima weapon) and going to town on those fuckers. It'd probably cleave them in half, and even if it didn't they'd be so crippled from a hit from it they'd never be able to keep chasing me. Failing that i'd use my metal bo staff. Once that's out of the picture, i'm gloving up to protect open wounds and punching and kicking till they literally tear me to pieces.

Even if i got bit i'd still keep fighting them till i couldn't anymore, might as well take out 10-15 more of them in the process lol.

i propose a small test for your zombie family cleaving plan
buy a little piglet, give him a name, play with him, go on long walks in the country, feed him up, love him, cherish him then 3 month later go down to his place with a sledge hammer and sharp knife. when lil' Norman trots up to you with his expectant little piggy face, full of hope and love, ready for todays snacks and adventures, smack him on the head with your sledge hammer and while he is stunned cut his throat. if during your breakfast of fresh Norman liver (with or without fava beans, and its a bit early for a fine chihanti) you do not feel the slightest pang of remorse or regret then you are truely ready to take out your zombified family members.
personally i would find putting down my wife and children pretty damn hard, unless they hadnt tidied thier room, or burnt the dinner. i think iwould keep a few round of ammo aside for that eventuality
better still i would make sure they did not get bit, but you know kids these days
