Reasons not to use a shotgun during a zombie invasion

[inthebutt]

Who needs a humvee if the enemy doesn't shoot back?

Shit, I'd just get a minivan, cut a big hole in the roof and attach a 50 cal to it and I'm set.

why wouldn't you?? on a humvee you wouldn't have to cut out a hole to mount a .50 cal on it, since it has one already.

why go out of your way to modify a vehicle when it already has everything needed on it.

Gas. I'll take the extra work over the possibility of running out of fuel twice as quickly.

I second this.

Humvees are gas guzzlers.

Like NYS is a jizz guzzler.

it may be a gas guzzler but its basically indestructible. have you ever seen a minivan plow through a group of cars and come out the other side and still able to work??? have you ever seen a minivan crash through multiple walls of a building only to drive away??

you never know when your gonna need to get off of the surface streets and go a little urban off-roading through building and other vehicles. plus your typical humvee out weighs your minivan so its harder to flip at higher speeds.

Go with a Jeep !

Take the soft top off and rig up a mount, add .50 Cal Done

I understand.

But why not get a heavy duty truck, with good mileage?

Does it need to?

These are zombies, not soldiers.

Off roading=bad idea.

Also, how fast do you honestly need to go in a zombie invasion. Last time I checked zombies don't move very fast.

it doesn't matter if its zombies or soldiers. just the ability to do it is all that matters. haven't you ever heard the saying "no matter how good you plan something out, it always gets fucked up" yes your right I may not need to go crashing through walls and cars but if I needed to its good to be sitting in a vehicle that is already capable of doing it.

plus you don't know how zombies are gonna be. we won't know until it happens, it could be slow and clumsy or fast and smart. but like I said its better to be sitting in something that is fast, protective and heavy.

oh and one more plus of the humvee of the van, it already has slots in it to stick the barral of a gun out and shot at shit. while in a van you gotta either roll down the windows completely or keep the door open. to much open space on a van.

Why not just get an APC then?

Or maybe a Bradley Fighting Vehicle?

Also with slots in the humvee, you could make those too. This isn't complicated technology we are talking about here.
