Well, OK.

Who cares what we use, as long it kills the thing.

and yes, I'm editing, because I didn't properly read it.

This might be why you could potentially just make a whole bunch of traps, like that Ravenholm traptown section in HL2. Really effective!

Set up a bunch of those things, and just run them off of those magnetic generators that never stop and run out (magnets never run out!). Now you've got a suitable way to defend your ass. Success!

Guns are for the people that want to live. sure they make loud noises but I plan on not getting noticed. If i do... im bookin it.

@ OCAdam:
uhh-huh.
but where can you get those and how much do thay cost?
and how do Magnet Generators work anyway?
that provide power or Something?
cus electromagnets need power to magnitize...

You can make them yourself.

1. Get a device that can harness energy from spinning (a generator basically).

2. Get a magnet and wire it up to the device, this will be the motor for the generator.

3. Give the magnet an anti-magnet (magnet that is the opposite pole) on all side of the central magnet.

4. Give the central magnet a spin and start harnessing the energy.

At least this is the simplest way to explain how they work. You can look it up, these actually exist and work.

Why all the firepower...

How about a kitty attachment.

OCAdam: Sorry if I sound pedantic here, but I'm a Mech. Eng major. You just described what is known as a "Perpetual Motion Machine". That won't work for multiple reasons:

1. "Magnets never run out"
This is false. Magnets, even extra "hard" magnets like neodymium, are made up of regions of magnetism all aligned in the same direction. You continually exert a force on one of the magnets and its regions will slowly change orientation, eventually yielding a used-up magnet.

2. Your magnets, how you just described them, would not actually provide any energy to keep the center magnet rotating. Without additional energy being pumped into the magnet, assuming that it is turning a frictionless axle attached to a 100% efficient generator, the magnet will eventually slow down as the generator converts rotational energy into electrical energy.

What you described is actually remarkably similar to the workings of real life generators. You stick a magnet in the middle of a coil of wire and rotate the magnet, and a current runs through the wire.

Anyway, back on topic. Off topic again, re: Rocket launcher attached to an Assault rifle: google "Rifleman's Assault Weapon". It is basically an RPG attached to an M16

Back on topic, again: The point of this has less to do with practical and a whole lot more to do with AWESOME. It is a horrendously ineffective device, especially considering that they would be more effective separately and weigh the same amount, but it just plain looks cool.

Well I wasn't so sure how those things worked anyways, so I just gave my best guess as to how those things were made. There should be the (proper) instructions somewhere online. And they probably account for changing magnetic poles. I'm quite sure they've got some wacky way of keeping a magnet going for long times.

In anycase, it's either an experimental energy device to use for supporting traps and such, or using good ol' windmills! Hope the area you are in provides lots of wind... or maybe a creek/river nearby to make one of them underwater err.... watermills?

FINALLY. Somebody gets it!

"Awesomeness" is a subjective thing. Loud, noisy, inefficient machines are not awesome in my view.

If a zombie apocalypse were to come, I would be less concerned with how I'm going to die than how I'm going to live. I place a higher priority on survival than "going out in a blaze of glory".

Besides, if you want glory, a massive explosion is far more impressive and destructive than flailing wildly with logging equipment.



If perpetual motion tech is so simple that you can find instructions for it on the internet, why the hell are we still running our cars on gas?

That RPG-7 attachment would burn your hand off when firing.

I find a minigun with scope, laser and grenade launcher attachment on each barrel much more practical.

Personally I think that a chainsaw bayonet is awesome, not because it is practical, but because it can deliver an enormous amount of asskickery!!! (word? i think not...)

However, a minigun, in my opinion, with those attachments is far too excessive and beyond practical, becoming too impractical for my taste.

also, the RPG idea wprobably wouldn't work, unless the RPG was more like the RPG from the original half life, where it jumps off before activating the throttle (or whatever you want to call it)

And one last thing, i dont like furries...

When you have technical insight, you would find it practical! Just think of it, 6 grenade launchers equals 6x boom, and 6 scopes and lasers which means 6 + 6 x 100 = 1200% accuracy!

Ever think about how oil companies like to keep their monopolies? Yeah.... this is one of the few conspiracies I see around... they like to hold those monopolies. Or at least their oligopoly.

I'd hate using that Minigun.... reloading the GLs would be hell of it's own! The lasers might be useful if you were mounting the thing and controlled all that recoil! Scope.... useless though. You aren't sniping the peeps down. :P

As for mass explosion >> chainsaws.... I say it has to be something like a Tomahawk cruise missile you need to have exploding.


Oh and zero... just keep looking at the image on the right then. You'll start noticing a few things on THAT pic then. (no edits were done on that pic BTW, that's the actual album cover)

Tomahawk? Useless! MLRS with flamethrowers instead of explosive warheads!

flamerhrower MLRS? who does that work?
do you mean an MLRS with Flammable warheads?
cus the only thing i can think of is a Russian TOS 1 Buratino
if you can scale it down to something that would fit on a bottom of a AR15, it would still sound stupid.

No, not those warheads. What I meant is that the cluster munition of the rockets will all be small flamethrowers spraying out fire.

Hmm, Buratino.... Burrito... Russian.... Mexican.... does not compute.

On the ideas of chainsaw attachments, I never asked but.... did the guy custom make the thing, or was there some other welder who did it, or was this an actual attachment that is buyable for no apparent reason?

I might need to make an M4 model in UT quality so I could make some M4 pack with a lot of different attachments.... and that sounds like a bit of hard fun work to me.

This guy made it himself. Well, he made the gear box and casing himself. I imagine he took a battery powered chainsaw as a base though, and reworked things using his own gear box and casing.

Since certain people are downright determined to derail threads to bash OCAdam's dog-eat-dog sig pic, then let me introduce you to reason #42 why Firefox rules.

After blocking such spammy images, your computer doesn't even download the stuff, saving you some bandwidth and time. Also, you can see about twice as many posts on your screen without such insanely large pics slapped on 1-line replies.

However, blocking the image of an album cover of a good band is probably not the best of ideas.

That and calling my stuff spam? You, good sir, have never seen the likes of a few certain images used for OTHER albums by bands that are..... actually very death metal. And.... such posts haven't been made in a while. Don't go off topic in that direction.

So the guy made this himself pretty much? I wonder how long it took and what the costs were....

I'd so be making something random, like a foregrip that is actually a Mac-10, and is attachable to underside Picatinny Rails. I think it'd be a fun thing to have...

I really don't see why you draw this out. Please forgive me for giving useful advice to clean up what's on the screen, speed up loading times, and show more posts and less repeated pictures.

Anyways, since we're talking about alternative attachments to an AR, I'd think a grappling hook would be the best kind of attachment, specifically the kind where the head of the grapling hook is pointed with barbed spikes that extend out to grab stuff. Granted, it would take a few seconds after a shot to reel in the rope and get off another shot, but it would double as a way to get around.

I was thinking of the grapple hook attachment, but... you'd best make sure you don't let go or pull the trigger while getting pulled along! Be something of a fun experience to do with the real deal, though, I bet! Just imagine using this to traverse some canyon...

On side notes... did he have a video of him cutting down a few targets with that? Hehehe, that'd be pretty funny.

The advice is duly noted, but we were about to be going on a page without as much as a side-discussion about my (or others) sigs and stuff. It's annoying to me that some people can't just respect someone else's thoughts of such things. Just don't discuss this anymore, it's detracting from the original convos.

He's got quite a few videos of it in action, check out the page I linked you to, shows a youtube vid, then just check out th eother stuff by him.

I don't think Tyster is so much disrespecting your thoughts so much as saying that huge sigs spam up the thread with repeating images, taking up screen real estate rather than the actual posts. I kinda agree with him if that's what his point is, and I think it is...

The engine doens't seem strong enough to cut wood.

Well, its only an electric engine, and the vids of him cutting the wood were with a partially charged battery. I imagine with a full battery he could cut the wood. Maybe not very quickly but he could. After all, they make 18v cordless electric chainsaws made to cut small branches and other such things. I can't imagine his chainsaw as being much different.

we should make this, right now, and make some pumpkins too!

Edited...:


The corner shot kitty attachment.

I love that thing. Something tells me though that the designer of it played a bit too much Postal 2.

I remember that, freaking hilarious.

And the Postal 2 "Kitty" Silencer was also hilarious.
