Right.
Well, if any of you have played the arcade modes, you'll know the second "Behead the Undead" mission - the one with Gaston (the butcher) injecting cows - is pretty damn tough.
But there appears to be a way around this. Around wave 7, I was on about 2100 points or so, when I decided running outside might be a bit of a better way to die (being on a miniscule amount of health at the time) and, to my surprise, the "3 second... 2 second... 1 Second..." counter just continued.
Continued? Yes. Into "-1 second... -2 second..." etc., until I had about -97 seconds. Around this time, I ran out of ammo and back into the room where I died.
Since then, I haven't been able to repeat this miraculous instance. I still ended up getting silver, (I had 3 shots left when I ran out), so ya know.
I'll keep you posted on anything new... But could you have a try? It doesn't work from the start, and it isn't triggered by all cows finished spawning...
I *think* I took out at least one cow before doing this, but ya know...
Cheers.

You'll never get to do it again.
Far too many possible causes ... and very probably just a random one-off thing.

Aha.
Did it, yay.
When you are on Wave 7, simply run outside (to the right from starting position - not towards the freezer) and you can stay there forever.... Cows in general just mass around the door, without touching you.
Easy gold, platinum requires some skill to conserve you're ammo for that amount of time.
Unfortunately, it's only Wave 7, after which you can't re-start the timer. As in, if you get out during wave 7, you can stay out as long as you want, but if you go back in after that, (say on Wave 9), you can't go back outside.
Pretty cool, huh?
