One problem with the (Fear the) Walking Dead is how easy they kill the reanimated hosts of a cryptic disease. We saw in the last episode of the first season that the infection activates mainly the brain stem. Leaving the upper hemispheres and the frontal lobe quiet of its low grade activity. Dark while the lower sections are at a lower band width than when first alive. Why they can’t run, use tools or ever talk. They just group together and work together and win by shear force of numbers and .
And eating up any animals they can find so that eventually the forests of the world will be denuded of life that can’t escape the fearless hungry reanimated dead. The semi-living robots feel no pain, no fear, just hunger to eat to feed the infection with new infusions of blood and tissues. But it is too good of an infection. I’d say it is artificially created as some kind of doomsday weapon that got loose.
So stabbing them in an area not reactivated by the infection shouldn’t stop them. Also shooting at full auto is stupid and wasteful! Single shot or at most burst fire(3-5) is all.
By the 3rd year all gasoline sources will be old. It doesn’t have an infinite shelf life. Batteries will be really dead. Lubricating the vehicle, filling the tires with air etc. must be done and even then it will be hard to start the cars and trucks.

Well he should be, everyone knows you kill a zombie by stabbing / shooting / bashing in the head.
