Because Facebook sucks ass when you want to say something.

Just posted this on Lost Zombies in response to the overdone "I'd use the .50 cal sniper rifle to kill the zombies":
I hate to break this to you, but the men responding with the facts needed to say it's a very illogical choice have probably used the guns in real life.
I have played different games with .50 cal weapons, and yes those weapons are the absolute best in said games, but in real life the kickback of a .50 cal can actually kill you, the weight of the gun alone would leave you chucking it off an overpass at your first chance, the ammunition would make so much damn noise that you'd have no trouble alerting every single zombie within 10 or 15+ miles to your exact location, and if you want to have any hopes of hitting the target you need to perform insane calculations that take into account the weight of the bullet, the spin of the earth, the spin of the bullet as it leaves the barrel, the range of the target, the windspeed, and so on and so forth. I don't know about you, but I suck at mathematics and I could never use a pocket calculator and much less a top-grade military anti-armor rifle that weighs 30+ pounds and can crush every rib in my chest when I fire it, and I doubt many other average-build human beings could either.

Now if it had napalm in it, then you could use the flaming goo-coated shrapnel to set a shitload of zeds on fire at once, but explosives are really more often delegated to door-opening duty because of their danger to the hunter him/herself and the general lack of use against the undead.
