I'm hoping that they will be shamblers and not ragers. This is because I LIKE living, and if zombies were real and ragers, I am pretty sure that status would change pretty quick. However zombies are NOT real(yet). I think,though, that ragers would be much more likely than actual undead.

"How fast do you think zombies can walk? I'm hoping they walk slow(TNOTLD) unlike 28 days later. But I think they walk as fast as the walking dead ones."Obviously, you can have facts about something that doesn't exist. As for a theory, I'd guess that in most cases it would go hand in hand with decomp. Freshly turned zombies would likely be the quickest, probably capable of a good power walk if not a run. Not so fresh ones would probably be more limited to a light jog speed, and the older ones would be your likely shamblers. And it goes without saying that the ones withe the shattered ankles or blown of legs would be the crawlers. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

My theroy is that if they don't sense a human or animal then they will simply drag themselves at a very slow pace. However, if they do sense a living being then they might possess the ability to move slightly faster towards the human or animal.1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

If they are undead then they will probably shamble around but if it's just like a form of rabies then they may run

Lets just say Zombie Land Like...Unless there is a quantity of them you will not need to run much (depending on your shooting ability) Take the scene from the gas station for example... if he had shot the bathroom zombie he would have scanned the area and quickly reloaded heading back to the car he would have had one shot each, then reloaded then could have checked the car and seen the zombie in back no running required just good shooting... incompetence nearly killed him 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

"Lets just say Zombie Land Like...Reloading isn't as simple as pressing the 'X' button. He would need 3 magazines to reload a semi-auto or load 3 shells into a shot-gun or load 3 rounds into a revolver. Maybe the character knew his shooting ability better than you did therefore he decided to play on his strengths... Cardio. (I'm no gun expert) Do you find this valuable? |

-Pictures self in bathroom scene armed with his pellet pistol- I don't think it was incompotence. He probably knew his abilities, and used them. Do you find this valuable? |

As for the other possible subtypes such as illness (natural), nano-technology , NBC (man made), etc, they are most likely going to be fast and possibly easier to kill than the undead subtype because killing shots will still work after they lose enough blood. However the pain receptors will still be turned off. In other words, it will be like fighting someone on PCP. Like Inu stated, unless we have a real specimen to work with, it is all speculation.

"shamblers" - There abilities will be based more on the amount of control the outside agent has over the body. The first couple of days, the undead will have very stiff limbs(rigor mortis), and very little ability to move/react fast. After about day 3, the muscles will loosen, allowing the zombie to move as fast as his control over the body will allow. I think that really there is no reason why they couldn't run, just like the Dawn of the Dead remake... once rigor mortis wears off."ragers"- They should be running like wild animals from the moment the virus takes over, BUT they shouldn't have much stamina. Any infection big enough to cause a complete re-write of the brains processing, will carry lots of other side affects, like reduced stamina (the body will be using alot of it's resources to fight infection), fever (which will reduce the victims ability to servive weather extremes), probably some kind of gastro-intestinal or upper resperatory symptoms, and diziness (very common in massive viral infection). They'll be able to run, but I seriously doubt the whole superhuman aspects that people give them. They only have the bulding blocks that every human has, so they can only be as fast/strong/tough as a person can get. Do you find this valuable? |

I hate the notion of the zombies running incredibly fast or walking incredibly slow.. =*_*= Sprinting zombies can't be outran even if they run out of stamina. You will run from one only to run into fifty more. They also can't realistically be fought. You won't be facing a one v one or even a one v. two but a continuous one v. eight as the first wave of fifty surround you, and then the second wave of fifty, etc. No gun or axe could ever deal with that. =O_O= If they're too slow then my melee skill doesn't really give me any advantage that other people wouldn't have. And its my melee techniques that I'm hoping would allow me to be a good house clearer for scavenging and taking back land. =*_*= If everyone could do it easily with whatever implement they want then I'm not special anymore. That's why I prefer the drunken stumbling zombies like in Resident Evil! =^__^= Zombies should lurch forward and stumble at a slow jog's pace and fall in your general direction once they get close.... =O_O= That would be way creepy looking without making them overpowered while still making them incredibly tricky to deal with in a close fight, thus making most weapons useless indoors.

"Reloading isn't as simple as pressing the 'X' button.He was wielding a shotgun. His was a side-by-side brake barrel, You can only have one shell in a chamber at a time so his limit is 2. To reload a double barrel you move your thumb to the right to move a lever sideways drop the front and the casings (or shells if unfired) will be ejected. You then take a couple of shells in hand and insert them into the chamber, and lift the barrel back into position (quit pushing on the lever or it will not lock in position). Ta-Da I question why you have 3 shells listed for a shotgun, the only shotgun i have personally seen that holds 3 is a 410g bolt action. Pumps usually hold AT LEAST 4. Hunting laws in your area may require that you DO NOT HAVE more than three shells in your shot gun at a time, however this is not a limit on your guns capacity. Two of my brake barrel shotguns are single barrel. They do not have a leaver, they have a button. I, to reload, push said button and insert shell. Inadequate for zombie survival but better than a rubber mallet. My primary shotgun is my pump 410g that holds 4+1 (4 shells in the tube 1 in the chamber) [Edit: My primary is now my Saiga-12 semi-auto box mag loaded I have a 5 rd mag and 20 rd mag!] PS. Have you even seen the movie? He is a dork that lived by shear luck! Do you find this valuable? |

"this thread is bad and you should feel bad"This comment is unhelpful and trollish. If you don't like the thread, don't come to it. @ ZM, try reloading while people are trying to eat you, and take into account that the guy in the movie obviously was not well versed in guns Do you find this valuable? |

"This comment is unhelpful and trollish. If you don't like the thread, don't come to it.okay lets be helpful, reanimation of a deceased person through means of...anything is absurd the most realistic scenario for a "zombie apocalypse" is a bloodborne pathogen spread through saliva,blood, or other bodily fluids that causes the infected to essentially go insane with rage and attack this being said they will very likely have all of the motor skills of your average human, minus some higher cognitive functions (hopefully) I,E. realizing switches turn on lights, buttons that open doors, ect now mind you that the full cognitive abilities of an infected may not be impaired, if that is the case we are all ****** anyways because we will have zombies that can climb ladders and use reason to get to you. it is very very likely they will have atleast a moderate running pace if not a full on sprint and i would plan according to that worse case is im wrong and they are shamblers and you will have already planned for runners, making you that much more likely to survive 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
