alright I will.
EDIT: Ok, the plan might be out the window. A small horde showed up, forced its way through the boarded windows and.... NPC heads started exploding. All over the place. All of them. It seems this experimental version is seeing a return of the notorious "head explosion" bug.
EDIT EDIT: I think it's related to the distinct gun magazines. Under normal circumstances, an NPC fires it's gun until the magazine is empty or the zombie is dead. If they empty the magazine, they simply reload the gun with no problem. If they kill the zombie before the magazine is empty though, they attempt to reload but can't for some reason. So, they drop their gun and continue attempting to reload at which point the anti-error-loop measure kicks in and what you are left with is a shower of blood, brain, skull fragments, and a headless NPC. The only NPC's not effected are the ones armed with melee weapons, or guns that don't use a removable magazine such as shotguns or revolvers. or the ones using bows/crossbows.
