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.
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...
That’s a heck of a lot more intimidating than my electric carving knife bayonet...
Not at all! They can come and drill in my yard and trim the lawn and bushes at the same time!
My daughter says she wants one. Too bad it’s a little late for Christmas.
Winner! (And you owe me a new keyboard and some Windex for the monitor...)
lolz having a guy behind you in the stack for dynamic entry holding that thing.
My friend would drop one in his pants if he saw this.
I LOVE IT!!!
You’ll put your thigh out with that!!!
Or ankle, or shin, or hand, or torso, or...
Be careful what you wish for! You get one of those for Christmas and the next day your wife's sending you out back to cut wood..........
Okay. I see the compass, but where’s the thing that tells time?
if you don't get a deer on opening day you can always cut firewood on your hike back from the woods........
Made me think of you!
