15,000 knights are charging at you in full plate mail and all you're armed with is...

[Arbitrary Cidin]

The Pyro's flamethrower.

 

[Samoftherocks]

Pure chutzpa.

I would ONLY play a game that involved "chutzpa" as a weapon. Can you power this "chutzpa" up? Modify it? Explain.

 

[Gebi10000]

an exterminatus. that'll show the bastersd for charging without a lisance.

 

[pargaras]

the beam wepon from dead space thet cuts enimies in half with one shot and have it with infinite ammo

 

[Tal-]

laser gatling gun

 

[Epifols]

The Crysis nanosuit.

Then I can just use their own weapons, should be funner.

Spoiler

 

[Boffc47]

dual wielded nun chucks

I WANT UNFORGOTEN RELMS BACK!!!

 

[Tal-]

make that a winterized t-51b and the power fist
BRING IT ON MUTHAFUCKAS I TAKE YOU HAND TO HAND

Hate to ruin the stream of creative answers, but, why not just shoot them? Armor isn't bullet proof or even bullet resistant. Hell, arrows went through the suits.
Maybe a nice fixed gun, like a mounted 50.cal or an M60, with a rather large barrel to finish them all off.

Depends on the bullet, the range and specifically what the person means by "full plate mail", seeing as plate and mail were two seperate types of armor. I suspect this implies a late age (gothic period) knight, wearing a suit of interlocking plates of iron/steel with chainmail being used underneath to protect the vulnerable joints. This armor is actually surprisingly capable of withstanding bullet fire in the form of pistol fire, non slug shotgun rounds and the like.

The real problem is, with 15,000 of them, there is no single weapon that can reasonable keep them from closing and killing you if determined enough to stagger against the losses. Any real machine gun would overheat long before you ran out of targets and any of the heavier weapons have limited fields of fire through which they are readily aimed. Combine that with the simple fact that ammunition feed systems will only hold a limited number of rounds, you'll find that either you're surrounded and overwhelmed, the weapon malfunctions and you're overwhelmed or your are forced to reload and overwhelmed. Plus, thanks to the proximity being listed (no fat boy) you at best have a few seconds gap to play with from the outset.

That said, there is a solution to this problem, and it lies not in the realm of personal weapons. The most obvious choice is a field of claymore mines - they were afterall designed to stop this exact form of assault, and if the field were prepared in advance a single person is more than capable of operating a number of them. Armored vehicles are out of the question unfortunately since all of them require a crew of larger than one to be combat effective - both the M1A1/2 and M2 have a minimum crew size of three (and the loader in the M1 is going to be hard pressed to keep up the fire)

the earthshaker's echo slam from dota allstars
deals damage to all nearby units +additional damage for each nearyby unit. 15,000 of them would be INSTAKILL
hows that for one person

otherwise a gundam should do the trick EZ

 

[Mysterious Stranger]

The Wunderwaful (sp?) from World at War's Nazi Zombies because it chains between enemies. If all knights are closely packed, I win with a single shot.

 

[Iron Mal]

My gravity gun. I'll use them as ammo.

Sounds good in theory but scientifically speaking a gravity gun would kill you by the time you manage to kill anyone else (and not to mention the number of bones you would break, allow me to clarify that these would be your bones breaking).

Are we actually worrying about realism? I just want to have my gun that somehow uses directed gravity to launch projectiles...

Yes, I am going to critisise the scientific credability of one of the main weapons featured in a game that prides itself over allegedly having one of the best physics engines in the business (I could also go on about how the HEV suit should theoretically be useless as a hazard suit since it's missing a helmet but that is a topic for another day).

 

[Ace of Spades]

TF2 Minigun.

 

[Tal-]

no the weapon functions exactly as it would in real life. if you are able to harness gravity in such a fashion, protecting the user would be childs play

 

[Balaxe]

they're to close to use the fat-boy

DW i'll use the one that shoots 8 nukes at once or a tesla canon.

 

[cheese_wizington]

Experimental MIRV...

 

[curty129]

A tempered sword of war! D: Perfect for knights. Considering the circumstances in the game i've been playing.

 

[DarthDonut]

I would use a T-Rex inside a F-22 raptor.

 

[Mysterious Stranger]

I would use a T-Rex inside a F-22 raptor.

^F-14 Tomcat. I'm a Fighter Nazi.

 

[Jamous]

Chuck Norris
No! Bad Jedamethis! *whacks with rolled up newspaper*

hmmmmm......

I win

-image snip-

if you don't know, that's an Imperator Titan from WH40k, and those are all giant laser guns, and his arm is a big gatling cannon


I win

haha i didnt think about that.Hmm in that case i'll have an imperial battle barge.introduce the cavalry to a good old exterminatus.

I'll see your Battle Barge and raise you a Planet Killer. It destroys planets.

i'll see your planet killer and raise you...Khorne on a leash.

JESUS you guys have style. I'd simply go for a Leviathan (Almost any of the ones from google images. Mainly UT3 though.)... . And a wench. Never forget the wench.
