So I have come to realize that zombies have weak muscles. that's why they move so slowly right
Wrong. Zombies actually have very strong muscles. It's their skin that causes the speed decrease. Skin after decomposition becomes rough, dry, and leathery, and hardly pliable. Most zombies that have been dead for long periods of time will have less maneuverability than one that has just recently passed away.
However, some zombies (Depending on means of resurrection) are able to look past this and move frighteningly fast. These are the scary ones. These are the ones you need to worry about.

but if they have weak muscles, how do they dig themselves out of the holes we bury them in?? eek7.gif
and how come zombies are meat eaters? couldn't they just as easily eat vegetables??
Actually no. Depending on the time the casket has been underground, the dirt above it may or may not become compacted enough to be easy to dig through. At the same time, the caskets themselves are probably the biggest challenge, but this only brings to light the amount of time a zombie has been resurrected before it actually reaches the surface. Think. There could be billions alive RIGHT NOW, and still having trouble digging through their casket.

and if a zombie is an undead human, why don't they eat themselves? and what would happen if they did...
if they their own stomach, would it go straight to the intestines?
Zombies require living flesh to fuel them. The cells must be alive and (preferably) healthy for zombies to pursue you. Though sick people are less sought after, they're still alive, which doesn't matter to a zombie. Living cells of skin and flesh (According to some raising rituals) are considered a 'sacrifice' needed to keep the zombie living.
Other methods just raise the zombie, and the best explanation to why they eat flesh is that is what their bodies accept as nutrition.
One form of zombie, however, only craves brains. These guys are the secondmost violent (Aside from full flesh eaters). They'll rip your head open and chew on your synapses while you're still alive, or until you die. The reason behind this: They claim brains to zombies stop the pain of being dead for a short time.

AND OH MY GOSH!!! how hard is it to fricken kill a zombie with an airsoft gun??????!?!?!?!? conf.gif conf.gif conf.gif
Has anyone ever tried??? I had a dream about it once.. there's no way you could. Unless the airsoft gun was like CO2 powered or something....
Impossible. It is impossible to kill a zombie with an airsoft gun. Co2 powered or not. There are many widely accepted ways to kill zombies. These run from simply destroying the head to obliterating the body, to simply burning the whole thing.
Theories behind each are: Destroy the head, destroy the brain, it cannot function anymore. In most cases this is true, but if another force animated it, this will not work, which brings us to 2.
2: Some forms of zombies wil not stop, even after their head has been severed. One type of zombie (I forget which one) can be cut in half down the middle, and its intestines will fling out and attempt to strangle you. The only method for this is to take a lawnmower after them and cut them into zombie paste.
3 is controversial to me. Some zombies will stay animate after most rounds of torture. (Tarman, anyone?) If it were me against them, I'd opt for number 2. But Co2 powered airsoft rifles or guns would not be anywhere near enough to kill a zombie.
Another reason behind this, a zombies skin is tough as leather, and an airsoft gun just doesn't pack enough punch to break the skin of a human (Hardly), so how would it damage a creature that feels virtually no other pain than being dead?
