IMO that's the most overlooked part of zombie stories. Death and injury due to stupid accidents/negligence. I wanna' see a beloved character holster their sidearm too quick, put a round through their thigh and bleed out dramatically. Or have an actual misfire or malfunction with their rifles. Or better yet (and hang on cuz this is where it gets wild) I'd like to see them CLEANING their weapons.[/quote]
Oh heh...

One time I RPed a fella in a wheelchair... he retrieved a snub-nose revolver from a corpse's decomposed chest-cavity... had to clean it while shamblers were tearing-down his cabin... oh, and there was a zombie trying to use a chainsaw... things got worse when some raiders lit a truck loaded with shamblers on fire a rammed it into said cabin.

I used to RP guns jamming, and mags getting dropped and damaged, alot.

Remember Dmitry? Like, before and after every timeskip he was cleaning guns. Middle of a negotioation? Good time to clean the Mosin. One time I had to RP him rushing to re-assemble his rifle, and he left the cleaning-rod on the floor.

Ice-storm tomorrow IRL, may or may not have power.
