    This will be a nice discussion of what you view as the most overused weapon in modern movies and video games.

    I mainly put the most commonly used weapons across multiple series and iterations thereof, but I put in an "Other" option to which you can vote and describe what weapon you thought of.

    If I had to choose only one of these (And I do), I'd have to say it would be the AK-47, which is by and large one of the biggest staples of first person shooters for the longest time running.

    Please, if you vote, then also post. Make your opinions known. I don't want Ninja Votes where you slip away before you bother letting us know what you feel.
    Yo.

    AK.

    They're not nearly as prevalent as they were thirty years ago.

    The cheap-assault-rifle-du-jour is the FN FAL and its variants.
    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    I voted chainsaw just because it's the least likely to be seen as a weapon on the list. Sure, the AK-47 may appear in a ton of games, but that's largely due to it being one of the most common weapons in the world. I think I recall reading that if you had every ak-47 in the world, with three clips of ammo each, you'd have enough shots to kill the worlds population.

    The chainsaw, on the other hand, is rarely seen used as a weapon (other than by, perhaps, over dramatic murderers and heroes in non-realistic zombie movies).
    Wait...Who are you again?

    The gun is the most common.

    That's probably because the effort required to cut flesh with a chainsaw makes it improbable as a weapon.

    Swing it at someone and it'll mangle the hell out of their skin, it it catches an ear or finger it'll rip parts off, but it'll take serious effort to actually cut through something.
    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    Inspired by the television series Dexter, the man known only as Dhampy sought out to write the wrongs in the world. Rather than taking the path step for step with the fictional character, dhampy decided to hunt those who dare defy historical fact.

    If you believe in historical falsity, if you spread myths about the past that are known to have never happened, if you've ever slept through a lecture on the details of the American civil war, then lock your doors and sleep with one eye open.

    Or you too will be the next victim of...
    The Histgoreian.

    Wait...Who are you again?
