They're slow and don't even have weapons.

Hah, and it was basically all for nothing. If he wrote the book past covid, he would know that he doesn't has to dumb down anything
What are assault rifles all about?
They look scary
Actual assault rifles are fully automatic military hardware.
What most people call assault rifles are just hunting rifles in cosplay.
Most people call military styled rifles “assault rifles” whether they’re full auto or not.
Yes, that was my point.
To me, it's not about being fully automatic or how fast they fire. It's about how many rounds it can hold. Hunters wait for the animal to get close enough, then fire hopefully just one shot maybe two if the animal is still alive after its tracked down. No hunter is unloading 30 round clips at an animal.
You apparently have never been hog hunting. They travel in packs and don't go down easy.
Plus, you can get extended magazines for regular hunting rifles.
But, this is a moot point because the definition of assault rifle is one that's capable of automatic fire.
At least you got one serious answer.
They go bang-bang real fast
deez NUTS
One thing they got 100% right is the idiots. I remember being really annoyed about the chapter with people pretending to be zombies, intentionally getting bitten and spreading etc...
...and then COVID happened and proved that the real world had people at least as bad if not more.
The Japanese blind anime monk was the peak for me. The book had some good parts but man, what the hell was some of that shit
The author's understanding of people in countries that isn't the US seems to be based on tourism-brochure level tropes and not much else. And his depictions of South Africa and Israel betrays a lot of fascistic sympathies.
