Poll: Portable Nuke Launcher or M16?

[Talvrae]

The M-16. Anything firing any sort of "nuclear weapon" in the purest sense cannot be used in close defense proceedures. Nuclear weapons are weapons of last resort in any scenario and even tiny ones will annihilate signifcant portions of a city environment. By contrast, while hardly idea for close defense the M-16 at least offers a probability of survival for myself once I pull the trigger. The only way to ensure this with a nucler weapon is to fire it far enough away that neither myself nor any of the zombies currently threatening my position are harmed.

I would also like to point out that you are suggesting that I carry a 7 lb rifle and nearly 30 lbs of ammunition. If I want to move quickly for a long period of time that doesn't leave a lot of carrying capacity for food and water which are just as important to my surival as the rifle and ammunition. I would almost certainly opt for a lighter ammunition load simply to facilitate rapid movement. The weapon is an instrument of last resort if my goal is escape and if 300 rounds aren't sufficient, 800 certainly aren't either. I'm just one man and I can only take so many aimed shots per minute.

Besides, 5.56x45 NATO is a common enough round that any gun store will have a quantity of them in stock. Where the hell am I going to find more nuclear weapons if I run out?

Exactelly, best option for a zombie appocalypse remain .22 hunting riffles, they are precise, the ammo are light and smalls. In a scenario where every shot count and where only head shot mean a kill it's the best way to go

Why would I want to leave the city just go to the top floor and and shoot some nukes. And what the hell am I retarded; couldn't I just get a strap for either one I mean it is a weapons lab.

I would take the Nuke if it came down to choosing just one.

To be true, I would use the nuke launcher like a giant flare gun. That should get someone's attention.

Well, since you said I have to use one to get out of the city...does this mean I can use the M16 to escape the research lab and then grab the nuke launcher to get out of ZombieVille?

If not, I would have to go with the M16 only becuase the mini nuke launcher will give me some sort of radiation poisoning, not to mention it would be easier and better to use it for long range zombies if you know they'll go down after the first strike. But, on the other hand, those that do survive will become radioactive and become even more insane "going-to-fuck-you-up-fast" zombies.
