Tools for the job: The machine gun

While there is nothing wrong with the scalpel like finesse of the sniper rifle or the scatter punch of the shotgun, sometimes in this crazy old post apocalyptic world you just need to kill things… fast. Enter the machine gun.

Guaranteed to hurl out a deadly steady stream of bullets, the machine gun is your party’s real damage dealer. It’s an unimaginative butcher of a weapon, but if you are keen to make the undead feel like British infantry on the first day of the Somme – then buy one.

If you still have any doubts about why you’ll need a machine gun or two I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from Voltaire (who despite being French, did know a bit about fighting).

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.
