shh
Actually if someone could help with the bullets, that would be great. I dun know how to into them.
I just had this crazy and very likely stupid idea, later (say, WWII) you could make Minengeschoss shells for anti-infantry use. I recall hearing (do not know how much truth there is to it, though) that 30mm Minengeschoss shells used in German planes had explosive power comparable to two grenades (it probably suffered from largely reduced fragmentation, though). You could probably use them as a means to give your soldiers a relatively good-range explosive "launcher" to deal with enemy forces from a distance, maybe even counter-sniper duties (got one hiding in that building? shoot at the window and watch bricks flying everywhere and almost completely destroying the room you just fired at).

That could technically work against infantry but the rifle is giant. You won't be carrying it long distances so you won't really have the chance to run into enemy infantry when on foot. It would be transported mainly by trucks and half tracks, where you would have access to heavy machine guns mounted to them, so why not use them instead? And if you have it for a defensive position then again you would have HMGs and likely artillery support.
All in all doesn't seem worth it to use against infantry, unless it just so happens to be the best thing available.

For want of heavy equipment the platoons FOs could direct no HMGs.
For want of HMGs, the Archians had to rely on shitty fucking microcalibers.
For want of real weapons, they lost the war.

I'd rather have a FN FAL, because 7.62x51mm NATO is effective against both the body and the soul.

If I shoot them in the body a couple of times that body isn't going to be supporting the zombie much more. Unless of course these zombies don't need structural stability and spinal cords.

Even if you were able to cut the thing in half at the waist with rifle fire, you'd still have crawlers, and you'd still have to finish it with a headshot.
