The ability to strike a blow that is fatal is not dependent on the style of martial art that one studies. It is a factor of who is doing the striking and what their intent is.

The term "Kung Fu" describes the martial arts of China, and there are literally hundreds, possibly over a thousand different empty-hand, and weapon styles. Karate refers to an Okinawa martial art that spread from there to Japan, Korea and the rest of the world. It is my personal opinion, Karate is better for modern day life because it takes less time to master and include more strikes then a lot of basic Chinese martial arts. If you want to become a martial arts master and a human weapon, then I would say Kung Fu, because of the enormous volume of styles available to you. Granted that you find a competent teacher.
Kung fu doesnt use belts it uses sashes. They follow the same color as karate.

You watched that Shaw Brothers movie didn't you? In case you didn't, I think its called "Invincible Shaolin," in which northern monks kill southern ones, or are tricked into killing them, and then southern monks seek revenge. In actual history, it is in fact the southern Shaolin temple which had the better win reccord, reason being southern China had a much larger popuation, and with it a larger talent pool. The effectiveness of either branch of Shaolin Kung Fu, as with all martial arts, is dependent mostly on the practitioner's own willpower, age, purity of heart and mind, and the guidance they receive more than anything. True some styles are more effective than others, but even a practical, relatively easy to learn method of fighting such as MMA for example will be ineffective if the practitioner is weak willed.
one style of martial arts is never better than another, because its a form of art its about self expression and is therefore dependent on the person. Or, Leopard is a more advanced form of Kung Fu, both Leopard and Tiger are lethal styles versatile in myriad circumstances, but a beginner would not learn leopard to start in almost all cases. Leopard is based on speed, quick, repetative attacks. Tiger is more focused on strong rooting, powerful core and is very deadly as well.
