Guys, I'm new to this board.

I'm a professional writer and I'm working on a nonfiction book built
around speculation on how real-world law enforcement, science, and
the military would respond to something like a zombei attack (like
they show in movies like Night of the Living Dead and 28 Days
Later). It's a little far-out, but the book is already scheduled for
release next August from Citadel Press.

One of the experts I'm using, Mike Witzgall (ex-Force Recon, former
SWAT officer) gave me some great technical advice on how SWAT might
react in such a situation.

What I'm looking for now is some practical information on a couple of
points (see question below). Anyone who provides useful information
will be quoted and thanked in the book.

First, here's the scenario: The fictional zombies we're talking
about here are the recently raised dead. They don't breathe, they
don't bleed. The only way to kill them is either a head shot that
destroys the brain, or severe trauma to the brain stem.

My SWAT expert said that even if headshots can't always be guaranteed
the responding officers (or soldiers) could use heavy fire to chop up
their legs.

I need to know the follow:

What kinds of rounds would do the most damage to limbs (particularly
legs and lower trunk)? I'm talking about loss of limb, shattered
bones, etc.

Any suggestions? You can post here or email me at

Thanks!
