{Thanks. It's only Century Gothic, available by default. ;p(Oh, nice font. Anyway, releasing gasses as a weapon will affect everyone in the party. Not just "Them". Curing of common disises with chemicals is a bit too much, since im sure no one would get a Common disese from usual things like cuts, when a dose of penicilin at the right time would be alot simpler. An acid would hold the same affect as any other weapon, except the acid would be alot harder to use and more likely to get you killed. Throwing a beacon of acid will make alot of noise when it breaks, while getting next to it and pouring it on a zombie would have you killed once one turns around. Acid makes noise when it comes into contact with flesh. Remember, this Rp is to made as realistic as possible. Im afraid this wont really do for you. Another person is the equavilent of another mouth to feed and another burden to carry. Just talkin back . Try something alot simpler, and alot more likely.)
Naive thinking is what gets you killed quicker than anything. There are gasses that can nullify other gasses that would otherwise in fact be harmful to the group. There are in fact some infections that cannot be cured with a simple dose of basic over-the-counter medication --which you really think most of this medication hasn't been scavenged by other groups and survivors?--, seeing as considering cleaning and the such has been cut way down, everything is even more extremely hazardous, especially in the sense that many are more at risk to gain rare and life threatening infections from something as "simple as a cut". As such, certain chemical mixtures can be turned into a high grading "antidote" based upon the right ingredients used in the mixology, hence why the use of a mixologist would come in just as much handy as anything.
As well with the acids, it wouldn't take much for it to take high effect against the flesh, and the sounds that are generated on contact are hardly as loud as movies and video games make them out to be, I guarantee you that, considering I witnessed a friend of mine mess up pretty badly in Chemistry class..
Most acids can spread just as potently as a viral infection, the chemicals that are combined in the acid can multiply upon impact with living cells, generating the same ideal spread as that of the mixture of the 'Zombie virus', dunno what else to call it.. xD -- The virus kills the living cells and spreads quicker based upon the more cells there are to consume, this is logical evidence seeing as the infection when in the body spreads at a rapid pace and takes over as the dominate cell, destroying the living cells are replacing them with the viral cells. Acids can generate the same effect, if combined with the right chemicals, even everyday chemicals that are the easiest to find under a common household kitchen sink.
Trust me when I say a mixologist will come in more handy than you believe. I find most 'zombie' movies, games and shows very consistent with those who are the survivors and the skills the survivors have. You got the badass melee weapon expert, then the guns expert, then the driver, then the bow n' arrow, and all the other basics like this, whereas the more likely stuff isn't considered. How often do you honestly think you are going to run into someone now n' days who knows what they are doing when it comes to using a sword or a melee weapon in general properly? Not very often, seeing as most are too reliant on today's advancement in 'defensive weaponry', being guns.
Also, I am not trying to argue, I am simply informing you of what is in fact the case toward what you clearly were not aware of prior. Which is completely fine, hence why I am saying it now. ^^}
{Also note the fact that the 'zombie' flesh is already long since decomposed and weakened around the outside 'shell', meaning that the smallest amount of simple chemical acids to the head would burn through the already since decomposed flesh and then eat away at the brain, the key to killing 'Them' with ease.}
