In Case of Zombies:
Zombies are not much more than a lumbering mass of flesh. Keep in mind that they're already dead, so they don't feel pain and they don't need their brain or other internal organs to function; in addition to not having theses weaknesses, despite the rotting, their flesh is usually more resistant to damage than the flesh of the living.
Contrary to popular belief, guns are a horribly ineffective way to kill them. Keeping your distance is a good idea but, honestly, you'd do much better to just keep running than to take the time to turn around and shoot. Remember: You may be faster than them, but they don't have to sleep. I know that all of your newfangled video games may make it look cool to you kids, but trust me, don't waste your time with guns.
The best way to deal with them, aside from fire and divine magic, is by severing limbs. A zombie without arms is a zombie with nothing to bash your skull open with. Wide, heavy blades are ideal. A well-placed shot from a shotgun might do the trick once in a while, but using any sort of pistol or rifle is a downright stupid idea.


In Case of Skeletons:
Skeletons have little to no flesh, and have noticeably harder bones than zombies. Because of this you will probably find that, unlike zombies, it it extremely difficult to cut off a skeleton's limbs with a sharp object. Also, since skeletons are little more than bones, they are an extraordinarily difficult target to hit with bullets; you'll find that, more often than not, your shots will simply pass through the rib cage and do no damage.
However, the lack of flesh leaves little holding the bones in place; a solid blow with a blunt object will either break bones or separate the bones at the joint. Remember, nothing comes together as easily as it comes apart
Yes it does make a whole lot of sense... However I don't a gamer would enjoy a game based on real logic!
