The ultimate in zombie defense: the AR-15 semi-automatic with chainsaw bayonet

 

December 5, 2008 The bayonet is largely a weapon of last resort - when the rifle jams, the ammunition runs out or the fighting gets to close quarters, you've still got something sharp and pointy to get the job done old-school. They've pretty much disappeared from today's more high-tech battlefields, but that doesn't mean there aren't mavericks out there still pushing the envelope - and we can't think of many inventions we've seen lately that would be more exciting to a 10-year-old schoolboy than this: the chainsaw bayonet. Whether you view this as blatant redneck idiocy or the coolest weapon in the world will largely depend on how much you enjoy wanton destruction - and if there's a more appropriate gun out there to be included in Gears Of War 3, we'd love to hear about it.

Yah, see? I *told* you "assault rifles" were more dangerous than regular ones! :hihi: :)

 

Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand, :)

I know that if I see someone walking down the street with an AR-15 that has a chain saw attached to it I'm going to give him a wide berth! But if the zombies attack I want him as my best friend!

I had a look at some of the other vids of the saw/gun. A comment made under Chainsaw Bayonet - "What's with the maniacal laughter?" set off my bullsh!t meter. Somehow, after hearing the over the top laughter, I think this ones an anti-gun scam video.

Oh.... I'm worse then that..... I've got an AIRCRAFT HEHEHEHEHE - No city is safe! :)

 

.........I've also got a collection of knives (they be hidden in me kitchen as innocent steak and butter knives) Worse, I have THREE chain saws - not those poofy little ones like in the gun vid, but big feckers that can make fence posts in a matter of minutes HEHEHEHEHE ............and then there is my 5,000 litre supply of incediary (some call it petrol/gas).........Oooooh, burn baby burn HEHEHEHEHE :) ..... and the thing that tops it all..............I have a copy of FARCRY 2 ..The how to kill manual par excelence :evil::evil:

CARTOON characters are people too, a judge has ruled in the case of a man convicted over cartoons based on The Simpsons, in which children are shown having sex.

Seems you dont need large amounts of incendery -

 

87 dead with a dollar's worth of gasoline Happy Land families remember kin

 

Maybe it would have been better if the poor sod had a gun ?

 

......back to my 'how to kill' game FARCRY2 ...might watch Rambo later for an education in problem solving :hyper:

Obviously you don't know anything about zombies! Fire doesn't hurt them, you need to read the Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z! :)

[Flying Binghi]

Some of them TV watching zombies could have a bomb go off near them and they probably would'nt notice - just keep watching oprah.

 

Yes, your right Moontanman - I did'nt know about "gears of war 3" - a video game I take it ?

I don't know anything about "Gears Of War 3" but the Zombie Survival Guide is something everyone should read. World War Z is pretty good too, you have to be ready for those Zombies!

I see, I know nothing of Metal Gear 3, just fighting zombies, they are more dangerous here in the south.

I got around to doing a search on Zombie Survival Guide No wonder kids are getting more violent with crap like that about :evil:

You'll regret that attitude when the Zombies come, you might not be able to find a teenage boy to tell you what to do:hihi: I've already found a better weapon, Buffy will love it! I just have to figure out how to down load a short film to this thread.

To uphold our science-y roots, I must ask all the chainsaw-as-melee-weapon enthusiasts out there to carefully consider whether every chainsaw – or chainsaw bolted to a rifle – is a good weapon, vs. zombie, human, or other.

 

To the extent of my knowledge, I and a friend are the only people to have ever put this question to the test. Our experiment sprung impromptu from a lunchtime discussion of some horror movie in which chainsaws figured prominently – I’m pretty sure it was the classic Motel Hell – in which I made the claim that a chainsaw wasn’t that intimidating a weapon. Sure, they’ll take an awful chunk – and an awful lot of awful chunks – out of you it you actually get the blade of one on you, but as sword-like weapons, they’re clumsy and awkward, intended for cutting stationary things, not swinging or thrusting at a moving target. My friend disagreed, and happened to have a medium-size chainsaw in his truck, so after a bit of colorful discussion, we took ourselves and the chainsaw to a nearby lawn and tried some mock combat, him with the saw (blade on by motor off), me unarmed.

 

The result was inconclusive. Most of the time, my claim proved right, and I was able to get one hand on the saws bar and the other about my friends head and neck, forcing him to either let go of the saw or leave his face unguarded. A few times, however, he managed to get the blade on me (including once for a nasty bit of bloodletting on the fleshy edge of my hand). Also, as my friend had the upper body strength of a well-trained computer programmer, we couldn’t well extrapolate how I might have done against somebody able to move the chainsaw much faster.

 

Of course, this experiment only applies to the chainsaw-wielding-maniac horror genre, not ravenous zombies, and only applies to a normal chainsaw, not a lightweight one bolted to a rifle. The point, however, is still valid – it takes more than moving chisel blades to make a good cutting tool into a good weapon.

 

IMHO, the ultimate open-air anti-zombie weapon is a long catch poles like animal handlers use to catch wild animals, coupled with some sort of head-remover, such as long lever action shears – and a team of people to use them. Throw in some riot shields and good hand, wrist, foot and leg protection – zombie movie clichés and Mark Brooks manuals notwithstanding, fingers are the bite site of choice for humans and other apes, a trait I wouldn’t expect shambling undeadness to change, and you’d have the zombie holocaust down to a science.
