Artillery does hurt flesh. Blast damage and blunt trauma will play havoc on the brain.

The problem is zeds don't feel pain and are either on the march or dead again.

I liked Psiops the Mindgate Conspiracy. Meat Puppets, like zeds but they are sort of cyberpunk slave soldiers.

Anything that requires upkeep, guns need bullets and cars need fuel and within about 2 weeks the survivors will have nothing left. Shops will be emptied and petrol stations will be dry.

So it's a bit like Mad Max 2 and the oil well or a lot of walking and looking for food. Zoos may have some food but again given a week of no care the animals may actually all die.

Now running it until things run out would be fun. After watching Contagion it was quite amusing how things spread.
