Hats off to our sister Military Times papers for their hilarious “zombie deployment guide,” which gets into the nitty-gritty of countering a walking dead outbreak. It’s got advice on everything — large-scale military tactics, hand-to-hand combat, clothing to protect against infection, transportation, and most importantly, weapons.
There’s a fair amount of debate among experts over the relative merits of the AK-47, M4 carbine, katana, or good old fashioned baseball bat. The most awe-inspiring? Lauer Custom Weaponry’s LCW15 Zombie Eliminator (which, Staff Writer Jon Anderson drolly notes, features “the arrow gun attachment and Beta-C 100-round ammunition drum”).
The guide, published in this week’s issue of OffDuty, takes a cue from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own zombie preparedness guide, which we covered here in May. And the American Copy Editors Society today highlighted the excellent work done by our designers, artists and photographers to bring it to life. We hope it gives you a laugh as you head into the weekend.
