Will Nerve Gas Kill Zombies?

Should destroy the brain right? Seems like a nice alternative to firebombing or nuking.

well, zeds are already dead, so killing them isn't much of an issue.

I wouldn't think it would have any effect.  There is no respiration and no circulation, so even if it did do something it wouldn't have a method of getting into the brain matter.

Just like Nukes in a lot of books, unless they are destroyed by the blast, radiation doesn't have any negative effect.  In several of the books, radiation only serves to kill off the bacteria and keep the shamblers fresher longer.

Im going to go with probably not. Nerve gases usually kill due to respiratory loss, although survivors often have neurological damage.

Neurological damage from lack of oxygen to the brain. Anoxic brain injuries.

According to world war Z, the book, I ain't seeing the movie, no.

From what I have seen gas is an ineffective weapon on humans, I can't see it being effective on zombies. Even if it was what do you do when the wind shifts?

What the fuck is the matter with you folks?? Absolutely not. It will not kill them since the outer nerves are already dead. Only the central brain cortex is still "living", if you can call it that and nerve gas can;t get through the tissue to get to it.

I don't think it would.
