"We talk a lot about what weapons we have, what weapons we want, ideal weapons for certain scenarios, etc. But are there any weapons you will not use? It can be because you're too scared to use it, don't know how to use it, or any other reason.

For me, I will not use a flamethrower. Homemade ones built from super soakers just scream 'dee dee deee' to me. Even a professionally made ones intimidate me too much. I'd probably just destroy it to keep someone else from using it against me. I led a tour group through the US Capitol years ago for a children's burn victim group. It was heart breaking. I want nothing to do with heat based weapons.

Second one is explosives. I wouldn't shy away from a grenade as I think it's operation is straight forward enough, but if I ever found stuff like c4, I think I'd just stash it away. I really don't want to blow myself up trying to figure out how to properly use it. "

"You can also use the C4 to cook with. "

"Chinese finger traps. Zeds would just pull thier own fingers off."

"Just dont step on it when its lit. If I remember this right (something my nephew said from EOD school) heat plus pressure around explosives equals boom.

I would stay away from stupid big guns. Desert Eagles, S&W 500, etc. I see no reason for those weapons unless ur hunting a bear or very big game. The only other thing I'd avoid is weapons with uncommon ammo for my area. There is no need for a 12.7 mm gun when 9 mm is so much easier to scavenge or buy.

Mil spec flamethrowers I wouldnt mind but good luck finding one. They would be a good way to clear trenches (what they were made to do in the first place)."
