The only advice I can offer to Loeffler and Carter is this:
watch some Zombie movies
Good training video.

“watch some Zombie movies”
These definitely have their uses (and I’m not much of a fan); the newer movies/shows portray zombies as moving as quickly as their prey, in packs. I see a whole set of weapons in catalogs under a “zombie apocalypse” category, and they would all serve another purpose well (though the goofy neon handles on the axe-type weaons would have to be painted). People should be training for the “zombie apocalypse” at every chance they get; they could pretend to be “LARPers” (live action role playing - the dorks that dress like wizards and knights in isolated areas) if law enforcement takes note.
