In Which Case Would You Rather Have an AK-47?

Which jobs does an AK-47 do better?

One word: flamethrower. Never mind, a few words: flamethrower, molotovs, shotguns with phosphorus- or magnesium-filled shells. Hell, Greek fire and catapults and walls with boiling oil on top would work just fine.

Ohh no flaming zombies are bad, they die too slow.

Best weapon is making them watch Glitter.

This was addressed as well. Then you'd just have a horde of flaming zombies coming after you.

These aren't witches...
 
Zombies, eh? Give me one of these...

With about 10,000 of these...

And I'll be one happy camper indeed.
 
Good job Etheral, you just joined Tucker in the Zombie Horde. A browning machine gun (much less any machine gun) is used against normal targets for mostly body shots which work against normal targets. Remember that body shots don't stop zombies, only head shots. Furthermore, when that barrel over heats, you're screwed.

A head won't do a zombie much good when it doesn't have a body. I have spare barrels too...:cool:

One machine gun can't eliminate thousands of zombies.

But you have to replace them. Simple law of large numbers dictates that the time you spend replacing barrels reduces the distance between you and them. As Zombie hordes often number into the hundreds of thousands, you will eventually lose this fight and join the undead.

This really is a trick question. The best tool is a melee weapon.
 
Well now, for zombies would recrommend an chicago typewriter(infinite if possible) they're kick ass bustas. It would destroy 1 zombie or 1000 zombies. Now, if we're talking a clean head shot? Oh no doubt about it. A deserted eagle she works a treat .

I'm not having this conversation.

BWAHAHAHA:rofl

Okay, I'm going to treat this seriously, for some reason.

A melee weapon? You think your arms will hold up long enough to decapitate 1000 Zombies? Sorry laddie, Ah dinna think so. Make 1000 bundles of straw about six inches thick, and try cutting them in half with a sword. Most people in decent condition probably would not make it past 100 before they couldn't swing anymore. Many times more than one swing would be required...decapitation isn't easy.

I think the MG pictured is a .30 cal. A .50 cal would be better, because body shots would disable the zombies...a .50 BMG can and often does cut a human body completely in half due to massive hydrostatic shock. A zombie in two pieces isn't that much of a threat, even if he is still twitching. Switching barrels isn't as much of a problem as no longer being able to raise your sword/axe/chainsaw/cricket-bat because your arms are so exhausted they won't move.

(I can't believe I'm having this conversation :mrgreen:)

I chose "hunting large game", not because it is quicker or easier, but because chicks would probably be really impressed by that.

Just throwin this out there. But you can't use the 7.62x39 round to hunt pretty much any "large game".

It's a useless round unless you are sport shooting at >100 yards or just tossin' lead.

Nope. You get a long pole with sharp blades attached to it. Thus, allowing you to slice heads without having to raise your arms. Read World War Z. Remember that for most zombie encounters, you're just trying to get away. That means you only need to decapitate a relatively small amount. The problem with the machine gun like the M2-1 is that you're stationary and stationary generally means you get overrun.

You don't necessary need to decapitate. Just through the skull would work, or enough impact damage to damage the brain. Also remember that Zombie flesh is much more suspect to blows.

You'd be a zombie too. Zombies cut in half have to crawl. Making them much, much, much harder to see. One bite is all it takes to make you a zombie!

As stated, melee weapons that require one to raise your arm are more used to get out of the situation where machine guns are more of a stationary tool used to combat infestations. The problem with firearms is what do you do when you run out of ammo?

The funny thing is, this is one of the better threads at the moment.

Oy. You don't have to raise your arms, but you still have to move them. You have to exert the necessary force to decapitate or to penetrate the bone of the human skull, neither of which is easy.

I've never swung a naginata in anger, but I have spent some time doing farmwork with old-fashioned unpowered tools, like: cradle-scythe, long-handled bill, slingblades, and such. With most of these you avoid raising your arms up, but you still have to swing them around to use them. It gets very tiring very quickly unless you're conditioned to it by many long hours of daily use.

There's a reason why most tools these days are powered by something other than human muscle, because it is both easier and more productive.

Before someone says "chainsaw": I once ran one of those for a living; it is also very tiring to the arms, and if I had a dollar for every time a chainsaw crapped out on me in the middle of a job...

We've already settled this DAYS ago. You convert your hand into a chainsaw... duh!

I'll allow the expert to fill you in on firearm choice:

"Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that? "
