The Chainsaw Bayonet
http://www.neatorama.com/ 2008/ 12/ 01/ the-chainsaw-b...I’m not a fan of chainsaws as anti-zombie weapons, despite their use by the great Ash. But this variant of the chainsaw intrigues me. It’s a small chainsaw mounted on a semi-automatic rifle as a bayonet. It would make the rifle absurdly heavy, but it would also provide some safety in the event that a zombie gets within four or five feet — when the rifle would become ineffective. (Video Link) I’m rethinking the Max Brooks-endorsed M1 carbine as my anti-zombie weapon of choice. .30 carbine ammo is rather unusual, and in the event of a Stage 4 zombie apocalypse, I wouldn’t want to be scrounging around for it in vain.

The Ultimate Anti-Zombie weapon
http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/?q=content/ultimate-anit-zombe-wea...The Ultimate Anti-Zombie weapon Submitted by Whaleoil on Tue, 2008-12-02 20:52 What do you do if you are attacked by Zombies? Why, you whip out your assault rifle equipped with a chainsaw bayonet and put some serious hurt on them Zombies. As Neatorama points out; I’m not a fan of chainsaws as anti-zombie weapons, despite their use by the great Ash. But this variant of the chainsaw intrigues me. It’s a small chainsaw mounted on a semi-automatic rifle as a bayonet.

Hmmm. This could be useful…
http://blowingoutlanterns.com/archives/319/hmmm-this-could-b...Setting aside any considerations of the horsepower needed to adequately chew through bone, cartilage, etc. I must say that this looks pretty tempting. We’re seeing a demonstration of an small arm size chainsaw affixed a la bayonet mounted the barrel of an assault rifle. Pretty much the last gory word (moan?) in up close and [...] Related posts:10 Worst Things To Do During A Zombie Outbreak There have been many articles, videos, and postings on...It’s only a matter of time For those slight few of you who may still doubt...Christmas comes early Every now and then you just run across the perfect...

Chainsaw Bayonet Mounted Assault Rifle Is The Ultimate Weapon In The Pumpkin Apocalypse
http://videogum.com/archives/dream-merch/chainsaw-bayonet-mo...This man (via BoingBoing) has mounted a chainsaw onto an assault rifle. Fair enough. Some people are arguing that this is the ultimate weapon for the Zombie Apocalypse. Let's get real, you guys. Zombies are fast now. They have been since 2002, and they're only getting faster. Besides, a chainsaw is a blunt instrument. It's not going to get through the vertebrae fast enough to end brain function before you get bitten, and since nowadays even just exposure to zombie blood can be enough to cause infection, I think you're looking at a sluggish weapon that's going to weigh you down with minimal improved defense. Good luck. I won't hesitate to destroy you if you get turned. On the other hand, as this video shows, this is an unparalleled weapon for the Pumpkin Apocalypse. Even if the pumpkins aren't pulverized by the bullets, once they've fallen off the log onto the ground, you can awkwardly chop them up using the mounted chainsaw. Those pumpkins won't be taking over the mall anytime soon.
