Fighting a zed generally isn’t about killing it through blood loss, systemic shock, or sudden organ failure. It’s about reducing it’s support and motility structures to the point of non-function. The diverse variety of organs and limbs a zed may may hijack, mutate or even build from scratch are only the tools of the infectious agent itself. Those ‘tools’ likely consume far more biological energy than is strictly necessary for the infection itself to survive or even carefully perambulate about.
Sent through a blender the living ‘parasite’ survives and may be injected/ingested/applied to another organism to start or enhance a new infection/colonization cycle, I think we call it mutagen. Even the ‘pulped’ zeds arn’t ‘technically’ dead either… they just can’t pursue you anymore you because they’ve no significant bones left longer than a matchstick. (a thought that opens itself to new horrifying vistas given enough time and creative mutation.)

Also, shouldn’t shooting blobs also make a “oops your bullet is useless, waste your turn” since they are 100% goo?
(If the argument that emaciated skeletons can make your bullet useless since you hit useless goo spot.)[/quote]
I’ll see if I can’t sketch something together. In all likelihood the blobs are yet another, more primitive ‘vehicle’ constructed out what it can fabricate on hand; some simple cell wall structures, some gelatinous membranes and some macro-vessicular action all driven by either a myosin/actin analogue (similar to our own muscles) or an even a simpler hydrolic action similar to spider legs or fungal expansion.
Shoot a human or shoot a balloon. The human leaks and the balloon bursts… but the water is fine.
Your real enemy is ‘the water.’
