Regarding The Zombie Survival Guide , the odd (considering all normal TEOTWAWKI scenarios) thing is that it reccomends the absolute minimum caliber you need to penetrate the skull, and the max magazine capacity. So essentially the .30 M1 carbine (and so on) is where it's at. Too bad I no longer own one.
The problem is, it offers no strategies for when everything falls apart, although you can read between the lines. What you want, it seems, is a 10-15 foot deep concrete walled moat or culvert; get them to pile in, dump some drums of gas in there, let it stir, and light with road flare/ flaregun/ firequest shotgun round. Repeat as necessary.
Fast zombies depart from the Romero cannon and really screw everything up. I figure then you want something that will break arms, legs, pelvises, spines, whatever you hit, so it'll sit still (relatively) for the headshot. I do not appreciate childhood nightmare enemies gaining new abilities after I've spent years evolving a survival strategy. Crouching tiger wire fighting zombies have just not been in the cards 'till now.
But at any rate, Tom Savini does appear in Dawn of the Dead 2004, he's the sheriff in the trailer. It's a kind of treasured cameo reprise of the original NOTLD sherriff's "yah, they're dead, they're all messed up." But he's clearly visible in the trailer.
