| The ultimate in zombie defense: the AR-15 semi-automatic with chainsaw bayonet |
| 2008-12-24 |
| Too late for a last minute gift idea, unfortunately, but there is always your birthday. 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 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. Main practical value: Guaranteed to reduce pious peaceniks, media gun-bashers, and other terror-loving, dictator and criminal supporting hypocrites to a frothing, spitting, bug-eyed rage. 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! Besure to check out the pics! |

| #11 Cute idea but chainsaws are a pain. At least the one I have. It does bring up a question I've wondered about for some time. Why not include a switchblade type bayonet so it can be quickly deployed. Is the switchblade inherently weaker? If California law lists a bayonet attachment point as one of the things that make an assault rifle (and thus illegal) why do they still include bayonet attachment points on sports rifles? Seems that and the pistol grip could go leaving the auto-load magazine. Why keep it? Anyone? |

| #8 As for that bayonet fixture, I can imagine folks "forgetting" their ammo so they can go straight to work putting their new toy to work! :-0 |

| #7 Whiskey Mike: What you do is you highlight the words in your text that you would like to link to your cool picture or webpage, then click the "link" icon, then drop your link in there. Make sure it starts with "http://" and not just the "www" part! |

| #2 OK, noting testy comments from certain mods, I used the link thing, and pasted the link in where it indicated, but am only seeing a blank space. Mods? |
