Are Fast zombies smart enough to use guns

No. They're not THAT intelligent. They're just smart enough to figure out how to open a door, climb a wall, jump, etc etc, given enough time.

kinda like paris hilton......

I'd live by the "Safety in numers" saying. I'd rather take on a few fast zombies as opposed to a group of slow zombies. Even though the fast ones seem more scary because they're so intelligent.

But the again it'd be pretty funny to see the dumbass ones trip over themselves.

I dunno i'd just perfer that there were no zombies to begin with... :/

I would rather to take on slow ones. Given that you know how to sheild yourself from the bites for a short moment, you could push some of them and they would all fall down and trip over each other. I would save the gun for the fast ones while I get a bat or any blunt object and just bash their brains out.
Maybe even scream out some obscene language or insulting remarks as I beat their brains out.
ie. "TASTE THE FURY OF MY TABLE LEG YOU LITTLE ZOMBIE, UGLYFACE, WITH NO EYEBALLS, NO WONDER WHY YOU BECAME A ZOMBIE SINCE YOU WERE UGLY ENOUGH TO BE ONE! HOLY CRAP IS THAT YOUR FACE OR YOUR ASS? TRY HARDER TO GET TO ME YOU RETARD! TRY TO KILL ME WHEN YOU HAVE NO TEETH LEFT LITTLE COCKSUCKER, I BET YOU ARE SO MAD SINCE YOUR LITTLE WEE-WEE IS SO DAMN SMALL!"

^Worst. Monologue. Ever.

Excluding any excerpts from Catwoman, of course. Let's be logical.

Since the question originally posed wasn't really, "Which Zombie-type would you prefer to meet in the plains of Africa," I'm going to answer THIS one first.

The Fast Zombies are more frightening. I'm not saying they're the type that's easier to deal with; I actually think that once I had time to rationalize... IF I had time to rationalize, I'd realize that they were the preferable type to take on, out of the two, BUT they're still more frightening. The screams, and the speed, and all that... Plus the little bit of intellect... That's really, really creepy.

I bet I'd have a better chance against them, but Fast Zombies are still the more frightening type to me.

Jesus, I never knew that a female can be an asshole.
Thanks for proving that wrong for me.

.... lolz

If you were stuck in a warehouse with nothing but a stick of lead, would you rather face 3 or 4 fast zombies or a horde of 15+ slow ones?

Fast zombies are more dangerous. Even if there was only 2, it would be enough to kill you. While your blasting the crap out of one, the other sneaks up behind u.

A horde of slow ones.... climb a pile of boxes or smthing and you can survive for a few days, no sweat.

Seriously think about it. What makes you pee in your pants easier, a slow zombie you can sit and wait for about 10 minutes before he reaches you at a distance of say 500 meters?

Or a fast, aggressive, 28-Days-Later type of zombie jumping through windows and killing everything edible?

THis is not even a fair comparision...

OMG Resident Evil-ness. lulz.

I'd probably use dead, non-infected people as decoys.

For example, let's suppose that there is a swarm of Normal Zombies shuffling towards a house I am in. I'd look for a dead body and then rig the house with loads of TNT or some household explosive materials. Upon the zombies arrival, I'd light up the house with a huge explosion.

I would go for the fast zombies if I were to have an endless supply of ammunition just for the suspense.

And as for the slower more dumber zombies, all I would need is a golf club. :>

I would much rather fight the slow ones, you can easily hide from them and set traps and obstacles for them.
You would get really screwed if you were in the center of the city in the start tho, because they would easily surround you. You could try moving from one roof to the other (using ropes, jumping from one roof to another ..etc) to get away from the slow zombies, it would take them a while to climb up the stairs and reach you, but most of the other survivors would be able to follow. If you happen to be near the edge of the city your safe from them, they can catch up to you, you probably won't need to spend a bullet.


As for fast zombies 2 are more then enough to take you down, in an urban area or on a plain. They can avoid your traps, climb fences and walls, outrun you, they have more endurance and won't need to rest and they are harder to hit, even if you take one down, the second could easily take advantage of the second or two you were aiming and attack you and your dead then, those fellas don't feel pain and going against something that feels no pain in close combat is automatically a loss, unless you have a cold weapon with you.
And lets assume that your a kind soul and that you have some survivors following you which slow you down and your slight chance of escaping just disappeared.

Question, the fast zombies, do they have enhanced senses since most of their abilities are upgraded?

Between the two...

Normal zombies-More afraid of being outnumbered even though they're stupid. I could probably enjoy myself watching it run into an electric fence over and over again though.

Fast zombies-Because they're smarter than the normal is a reason to fear. Since they don't come in large packs, probably wouldn't be as scary, but still freaky.

Freakiest part is that the dead bodies are walking around when they should be back in the holes. O.o

Y'know, with slow zombies, you don't even have to do anything. Just surround your house/mall/food supply/army base with like a trillion spikes and a fence and they'll never get to you.

Yeah they will.... eventaully the masses of bodies in your front yard will create a meat bridge straight into your house. And you can't escape either.
