The ultimate in zombie defense: the AR-15 semi-automatic with chainsaw bayonet
Gizmag.com ^ | 12/05/08 | Gizmag.com

Posted on 12/24/2008 12:32:04 PM PST by Reaganesque

December 5, 2008 The bayonet is largely a weapon of last resort - when the rifle jams, the ammunition runs out or the fighting gets to close quarters, you've still got something sharp and pointy to get the job done old-school. They've pretty much disappeared from today's more high-tech battlefields, but that doesn't mean there aren't mavericks out there still pushing the envelope - and we can't think of many inventions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/invention we've seen lately that would be more exciting to a 10-year-old schoolboy than this: the chainsaw bayonet. Whether you view this as blatant redneck idiocy or the coolest weapon in the world will largely depend on how much you enjoy wanton destruction - and if there's a more appropriate gun out there to be included in Gears Of War 3, we'd love to hear about it.

The idea is so simple we're surprised we haven't seen it before: take one AR15 semi-automatic rifle, and bolt a god-damned electric chainsaw to the front of it, thus combining 5.56mm firepower and supreme limb-hacking melee slaughter in one neat package. This could be the ultimate zombie-defense weapon for the new millennium.

The electric chainsaw seems a little underwhelming in the demonstration videos (we're not sure if an enemy combatant would be so polite as to wait there while you sawed his leg off), but that's simply a matter of getting a bigger battery pack and uprating the engine.

And if that's not murderous enough for you, the chainsaw bayonet's creators are looking to up the ante with their next creation, which will be a circular saw bayonet. We can't wait to see that one. Only in America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Only_in_America ! Enjoy the video below.

That should take about 10 seconds before someone saws off one of their own appendages with it.

Everyone knows that 5.56mm is no good against zombies. You need a .308 or 12 ga for that.

But, this is an awesome anti-hippie weapon. You can shoot them out of the tree they are sitting in, and then saw down the tree with the same weapon.

Umm, does this fall into the category of a destructive device? Or maybe a garden implement with security system? This is definitely bad juju for zombies. The psych value alone would be intimidating.

Needs some of those handy instructions printed on the blade- "Unplug before cleaning gun".

Me too! Perfect persuader to help keep the thugs in my classes from dealing hand grenades in the hallways while attacking teachers with steel knuckles. Ladies & Gentlemen, I kid you NOT. Well okay, no grenades, but a friend of mine has his jaw broken in 3 places just a week ago. Inside the school building and in fact right outside his classroom! MY students were speaking of the street prices on hand grenades last week when they asked me what I wanted for Christmas! I think they were kidding...

OMG, how cool is this! Only thing would be to upgrade to an AR-10 and a gas chainsaw. Electrics suck; they're always binding. Just what you don't want when you're sawing through a cord of bad guys.
