Chain-saws.

[Stoic Socialist]

So, what do y'all think about using chainsaws in the ZPAW?

No, no, no, you've got it all wrong! I'm not talking offensively, silly.

I'm talking about things like this.

Want gonk
And now, of course, I feel compelled. I must post this:


Read the whole comic here!

Chainsaw hand.

i think it would be very useful for guarding a doorway or for a large crowd.

Not to be mean, but how many of you have clicked that link?
It's a link to a guy that rigged a chainsaw to his bike, the chainsaw propels the bike forward.


Fresnel: I know you read it.
That reminds me, I forgot to put a Fresnel Lense on my christmas list.

Ugh, first time you hit something with that, you'll either get thrown over the handle bars, or tear the hell out of the frame.

I saw the picture, but I didn't read the story. Did he hook the whole chainsaw up with bike chain instead, or did he just use the motor?  

[Stoic Socialist]

I think he just used the motor, he doesn't really say what exactly it is.

Old Lord Brocktree: Why the hell would you hit something to begin with?
Lawl. It's just a normal motorcycle... It's just, less stable. Other than that, that specific model only goes 50 MPH, it's not like you'll encounter Z's that can run that fast, no?

It's a stick with wheels that goes 50mph. You hit a small stone, a dead body, anything that fast (and it'd be a b***h to turn to dodge them) and you're a corpse yourself.

Exactly.

I think that if you're stupid enough to hit a dead body, at 50 MPH, on a two wheeled thing (ALL two-wheeled vehicles), you deserve to die. Seriously. Even some 4 wheeled things'll do the same thing.

It's a matter of speed, protection, and tire size. Bikes have tiny tires. If you're going 50mph, it's not going to take much to knock that bike over. By the time you see an obstacle, and it could be a small one, it might already be too late to dodge it. And if you can't... you become a red carpet on the asphalt.  

[Stoic Socialist]

I wouldn't be going that fast. I'm saying you can.

Fair enough. I'd rather not give myself that capability at all, personally. I'd be too tempted to use it often and end up killing myself.
