Zack faked his death?

No he didn't fake his death, and I think that'll be confirmed in Crisis Core. It's also stated that where you see the Buster Sword in Advent Children is where Zack is buried and that's also where he was shot down. Also, it shows Zack in the whitespace at the end of AC, so no, I don't believe he faked his death at all. A chest full of bullets...I don't think that's possible.
How could he have faked his death? And why? What purpose would that have served?

no Zack did not fake his death....because in the game in the Shinra Mansion there are files that confirm that he was killed while Cloud escaped
well, said Lady Aerith. When one has a chest cavity riddled with bullet holes, one tends to die. It's known as Sudden Perforation Syndrome. Quite fatal I'm afraid.

Personally...I think it would ruin the plot if he turned up alive, but...you never know, ShinRa has a lot of dirty secrets. Maybe they cloned him...
But I agree with LA...Maiden who travels the planet definitely states that Zack is in the lifestream with Aerith.

It's kinda hard to fake being shot at point blank... but I'm not putting anything out of the question til Crisis Core comes out. My biggest arguement is that you see him with Aeris in AC...
Shinra is gone. Zack is gone. And, from what we know of, Sephiroth and Jenova are gone. (Is is possible to fake your death when your dead? NO.)

You could add the fact that Aeris being there at the end of AC to your argument.
They're both dead, and are part of the lifestream. How did they even appear at the place they did?
Then again, it's pointless arguing about most things AC, since Nomura planned parts of it to be trivial.
EDIT:
Oh and by the way, Zack is truly dead.
Why do you think he fake his death, Darkblade?
Yes, Why Darkblade? Did you see something that said otherwise or cause you to think differently? I wouldn't be surprised if they made a whole spinoff on Zack!!!
Sorry to disappoint you DarkBlade but Zack is dead, i know it is harsh but he died, protecting cloud, you see him at the end of AC, with Aerith
He's dead, live with it.

Wait! doesnt it show Zack dying by Seph in 7??? how was he shot ddown?
Sephiroth cut him down in the Nibelheim mako reactor but he didn't die. Hojo dragged him to the Nibelheim manor basement and put them in mako tanks and shot them up with Jenova cells. Cloud got light mako poisoning and had no noticable effects to the jenova cells. Zack was in SOLDIER, so he was already introduced to mako and was not poisoned. Once Zack recovered from his wounds, Zack helped Cloud escape to Midgar where they were found by Shinra guards and shot. They shot Zack when he went to see if Cloud was ok. Then shot him at point blank range.
I think there are three reasons for that:
1. They were both dead
2. They were very important to Cloud
3. Zack was Aeris' first boyfriend before she met Cloud...
Yeah sure he lived, however he sufferd major damages to his mind. He now thinks he's a black rapper, planning on releasing his first album early next year, and talk like this 'yo figgaz, dis Zacks in da house laying down some solide beatz for me' main homie Cloud. Peace to the hoodz bruddaz'
Actually, according to the Reunion Files, the only person that could see them was Cloud. The children could see Aerith because their youth and innocence allows them to see such things. That's why we often hear about children seeing things that we cannot. As for seeing Aerith at the end, in the Reunion Files, Nomura stated that Aerith lives on in Cloud's conciousness and his heart. She can physically manifest around him, so that much we know. As for Zack, since they were best friends and Cloud is living his life for him, I imagine it is much the same way. That's how it's put in the Reunion Files. Zack being Aerith's first boyfriend has nothing to do with that logic.
As for Zack he is dead, gone, was killed with bullets and is not coming back. He's not the man in the slums in FFVII, he's not any of these weird theories that some people are pulling out of their butts.
It's not a bad idea him faking his death, but I guess the evidence piled up against that theory. But mind you, Zack did have Jenova cells put inside of him for those who are arguing against Darkblade's theory. It would be interesting to learn Zack faked his death, but I think it's slightly impossible that he would.
