prolly because i suggested that jim stay away from .50bmg with respect to his political activities.

but let's look at the positive here.

all the petty scurrying and definitional masturbation in this thread certainly does salute jim's legacy!

definitional masturbation... HOT!!!

Grenades are far more effective against Zombies than a .50 cal. I would throw in a flame thrower but be careful how you use it. The Zombies will keep coming at you even if they are on fire.

flame thowers against zombies, what kind of idiot are you??

Instead of killing them you have creating walking Molotov cocktails.

and grenades? Puh-lease! What are you gonna do if they are within 20 feet of you, blow off your own legs?

what you need is an accurate rifle, with enough umph to penetrate the skull an smoosh the brain, even a .22 would suffice, also a handgun for tight spaces.

and a boomstick

shop smart, shop s-mart.

well, actually RPGs don't arm until they have traveled a certain distance. So Jamal won't be killing them all, it's just a big slow bullet until it's traveled 500 yards or something.

 

[2minkey]

that's 500 meters dude. and i've got some 500 meter RPGs to sell, so lemme know how many you want.

 

[Professur]

You get 500 yards out of an RPG and I'll buy the beer afterwards.

 

[2minkey]

perhaps when roped to a hot air balloon, with a good wind...

 

[paul_valaru]

I thinks I got my ranges WAY wrong.

still doesn't arm until it reaches a certain distance.

 

[Professur]

Just a hair long, yeah

*Impact detonation... though the 'rocket' part of the RPG takes a few tenths of a second to go off.

Pththth! A .22? In the skull? I'll leave the close-up-and-personal attack to you, Paul. I'm keeping my distance from the Zombies, thank-you-very-much. I'll be a good distance away from the Zombies with Bish, lobbing grenades.

Eventually the Zombie will be charred heaps of ashes, but you are right... you must be careful using the flame thrower with Zombies (I think I said that below, actually).

Lobbing? One does not 'lob' with a GMG... one cheers whilst watching the pink/green mist that is all that's left of said zombie as it floats away.

From what I'm reading, the RPG arms as soon as it's motor cuts in, about 10 feet from the launcher. It's the booster's shove that arms it. Better pray like hell that the main motor doesn't fail, eh?

hit percentage at 500 yards ... 4%. You can make further .. ballistically. the motor is only good for 500 yards.

 

[MrBishop]

I wouldn't use an RPG against zombies anyway...what's the use of waiting till you see the whites of their eyes if their eyes are green and bloodshot?

 

[Professur]

Now, you see ... This is OTCENTRAL.

From a goodbye, to weapons nomenclature, to RPG ballistics. That's the way this place is supposed to be.

Waiting to see the whites of their eyes is for muskets. You know ... those non-rifled long guns.
