Here's what I think.
Oct 18 2009, 9:01 AM EDT
No matter how the virus or parasite was created, an infected person that becomes a zombie will go through stages.1- A newly infected person still has a complete and functioning body, minus rational thinking. Zombies will probably be able to run and move quickly, but average human behavior will be replaced with violent and swift insanity. 2- After the body dies, which would be because it isn't getting any nutrients or any of the things that an animal needs to live, it will start to decay at the rate of any average dead body. This means that the body and all that it is composed of will slowly die, including muscle tissue, which will result in slower zombies as time goes by. 3- Towards the end, zombies will most likely be almost completely harmless. They will have hardly any muscle and no energy to keep them going. The virus will most likely die soon after, resulting in a finally dead zombie. I really hope I'm wrong though, because if any threat as serious as a zombie were to come about, I hope they won't be able to run. We would have no chance. Do you find this valuable?

It wouln't be so bad with a "biological" zombie. No need to worry about headshots, anything with stopping power, or somehow damaging legs should keep you safe. As for running vs staggering zombie. It would make it harder to travel on foot that's for sure. But when attacking barricades it doesn't really matter "that" much.

On the other hand, the faster zombies that attack the barricades are more of a threat because they are fast, violent, and will use all of their power to destroy whatever is in their way.

So basically, you're expecting a 28DL zombie? Which is a slight bit less improbable than the actually dead zombies. Still though, no one can really say how a zombie will be created, how it will function, or how and when it will die. Hopefully, we'll never know...

"28DL?"28 days later. It's a movie. It has a unique kind of "zombies". A virus erupts and infects people. The infected become dangerous and violent, tracking down and attacking any humans they discover. http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/Zombies+vs+Rage+Zombies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Days_Later Do you find this valuable? |

A "Rager" type zombie is probably more probable. Do you find this valuable? |

Show me your chained-up Z or show me how you arrived to this conclusion without one.

"Show me your chained-up Z or show me how you arrived to this conclusion without one. "I would like to know where this information came from as well? How ever we do know that in humans. When we die the body eats itself basically! Also another big player would have to be riggamortis ? An that can set up in 10 hours or less. In which I feel would cause a slower moving zed!

And assuming that the virus/disease/curse/ etc doesn't block rigger mortis or manage to keep the body's cells functioning without outside nutrition. Very improbable, but improbability is a hallmark of the entire zombie scenario.

the way i look at it, the zombie (if it is truely dead) will be able to move quickly for a short time after "death", but will begin to move slower and slower as rigormortis sets in. this may be the reason most move slowly, while the occasional zombie gives chase at a sprint.
