Eh a shotgun blast to the face will mean it can not longer bite you. Also without eyes, ears or a nose how is it going to find anyone?
Shoot it in the head then just take your time about dismembering it.
I agree with the fact that zombies can not find you if you blow thier heads off, but answer this, how are you supposed to take your time when there are 30,000 other infected ready to bite your face off.
Back to the point...
Tell me fellow escapists, how many of you actually own firearms? Also, how much ammo do you have for said firearm? When the zombie apocalypse happens, guns and ammo wont appear magically on the floor... you will have to work with what you have. Also, to all the people who say that they will just go melee with the zombies; How exactly are you going to overpower 10-15 zombies all swarming for your brains? Are you strong enough to smash a persons head off in 1 hit with a baseball bat? Are you fast enough to dismember all of a zombie's limbs with a claymore before being killed or infected? Before you answer, think about this, zombies kill you in 1 hit. They will either infect you or will simply mortally wound you. You on the other hand might be able to kill a zombie in 2-3 hits if you are lucky, now, that is only 1 zombie, in an apocolypse hundreds will be chasing you, even with a chainsaw you will simply not be able to swing fast enough to kill/dismember all the zombies that are coming after you.
Now, for the gun users. Even if you do own a gun and hundreds of bullets for it, are you trained well enough to shoot a charging zombie in both kneecaps, while running away in fear?
Although range is the only advantage we survivors would have against the zombies, ammo and guns are too hard to come by en masse unless you live right next to a hunting/gun shop. If you don't I can almost garantee you by the time you reach the shop, there will be nothing left in it.
/end rant
So the point I am trying to make is that if zombies are immune to headshots, everyone if pretty much screwed. Now, I would first make sure to find a secure area for my friends and family and then I would shoot my self in the head, or if I had explosives available, I would try to take out atleast a few of the zombies.
P.S. Even if zombies could be killed by headshots, I doubt any of us would survive without major military action and maybe some tactical nukes or something.
P.P.S. They tried to cremeate the zombie in that movie that everyone keeps mentioning, and it didn't work, but it would definitely slow them down.
