5 Reasons We’ll Be Disappointed By The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse

2. The Average Person Doesn't Own A Gun

Walking Dead Governor A perfect quiet night in during a zombie apocalypse: chilling on the couch, glass of red in one hand, shotgun in the other; only having to move to pop a bullet between a zombie€™s eyes. The most annoying part of the whole scenario would be the fact you have to keep rewinding your Sky box, as the undead rudely interrupt The X Factor. Except, there's a fairly big flaw there for most of the world... I don€™t know about you, but the closest I€™ve come to a zombie killing weapon is a Wii remote. If a zombie burst into my room this very second I€™d probably just flail my arms and throw the closest thing to me at their head, which would probably be a Dr Marten boot or a lamp. I€™m dead, man. Game over. Guns just aren't lying around like they are in Resident Evil, or Dead Rising. For the obvious reason that if they were, there'd be an awful lot more dead people, never mind the undead ones. Have a glance around your room. Is there a pair of glocks on your bedside cabinet? An AK-47 propped against the wardrobe? Do you keep an emergency flamethrower in the airing cupboard with your ironing board and various empty bottles of Mr Muscle you can€™t be bothered to throw out? If your answer to these is yes, you probably need arresting. But on the other hand, congratulations, you€™re all sorted for a fun, relaxed, zombie apocalypse.
