No takers for death machines? I'm surprised.

id take a forklift and use it as the frame and propulsion, and outfit the thing with treads and chainsaws, then, on top, dual miniguns on a 360 degrees turret, with mortars and rocket pods in the back...

I would make some thing like Themiddleodknowhere's thing but use a bus of somekind as the chassis and armour the whole thing with as much plate metal as possible. If I can id use a double decker so i could get a better firing angle and just totally armour the whole lower floor. Obviously leave the windscreen seethrough, but get several layers of chainlink fence on it and either put an electric current through the whole thing or just the windscreen armour. i dont know if electricity would stop Z's but it should give raiders a nasty shock. i would live on the upper floor as much as possible. put a water filter and solar panels on the roof, maybe a couple of small wind turbines. To be continued

a panel mounted at head level all along the hallways and doorways in an citt that discharge flechettes.in a real situation, i would have to go back to something my german ancestors used to do. back in the old roman days when the campaigns were going on in Germania, german peasants used to run a thin steel cable (it was similar to one of those pocket chainsaws) across a trail where roman officers and calvary were known to ride, well when the romans would come through on their horses the speed of the horses and the sharpness of the cable would effectively decapitate said officers. they did it in WW2 with piano wire. the only problem here would be finding a way to make the wire move fast enough so as to decapitate/dismember a zed. im thinking of a weighted end on the end of a long strand of .00 filament steel cable and getting that rotating at about 7000 rotations per minute. possibly off of a diesel engine seeing as how those things pack alot of torque. i might just be talking out of my ass here but i honestly think it would work as an area defense weapon. or hell even put a wire running across a wide open rectangular area and have on end in one wall and the other end in the other wall and have a mechanical system which could zip along at about 70 miles an hour.should do the trick. 0 out of 1 found this valuable.

"a panel mounted at head level all along the hallways and doorways in an citt that discharge flechettes.actually, you could use just about any wire, if its strong enough, i personally would use 1/2 steel cable, it sounds heavy, about 30 feet of this, with 2 sides so its balanced, like a giant weed whacker, personally, i would use a large 2 stroke, if you wanted it mounted verticle, spining the cable like a helicopters blades, then a desil would destroy itself do to the sump not being ale to receive oil, the motor would grind to a halt, and once you got the wire going, the motor wouldnt need a lot of torque... im thinking a 350 yamaha banshee quad engine would do the trick, lots of power, can be mounted in any direction because its a 2 stroke, and they arent mechanicly difficult 0 out of 1 found this valuable.

A simple-ish one, but I'd go for the Half Life 2 method. Using a two-stroke engine (they show a four, but it wouldn't work), remove the harmonic balancer and attach a sizeable blade to the crankshaft. Then fire up the motor (from a safe distance) and wait for the zombies to walk into the blade, which is moving at about a thousand RPM.

That would work except for the fact that those blades will just shred apart. Especially if the tension on them isn't correct, which would be likely.

Especially if the tension on them isn't correct, which would be likely."well the tension isnt a hard thing to adjust, on the side that isnt the source of power, pull the drum away from the power source, to a point where the blade twangs in a high pitch if you flick it, you can accomplish this many ways, hand tightening is the easiest, but least reliable, and a screw mechanism with a crank would work the best, but would be the hardest to fabricate 0 out of 1 found this valuable.

"It doesn't take a super-genius whiz kid to come up with zombie-killing devices. If you had the workshop, the materials, and the time, what kind of mechanical death would you unleash upon the zeds?"Being a boat mechanic I start thinking about using outboard engines and possibly lawn mower parts. It would depend greatly on fuel supply. now an outboard being converted to run on hydrogen, now that's a thought.. Do you find this valuable? |
