Killing Floor/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • What does a woman with huge amounts of firepower do with money during a zombie outbreak?
    • Why does that woman teleport around the map? It's a game. Deal with it.
    • I always thought there were working airports around Britain to get you the hell out of there and to somewhere safe, but they cost insane amounts of money to take, which is why she needs that cash.
    • Where does she get the guns? I mean, hunting shotguns and lever-action rifless I can understand, same as the Bullpup, but what about the high-grade military equipment that isn't in British service, such as the SCAR-H and and M14 EBR?
      • Rule of Cool. Or she got lucky. Or she was a gun dealer prior to the outbreak. Illegal obtaining?
      • Or maybe, since as far as I know, there hasn't been a Zombie-Clone outbreak in England since the Great Zombification of 1783, this is some kind of alternate universe where these weapons are in service.
      • Actually, the Brits even today tend to get a lot of "surplus" US military equipment, and adoption of the M14 in the US was due in part to pressure from NATO members already using the FN FAL and other weapons chambered for the 7.62x51mm NATO round, the United Kingdom included. The SCAR-H happens to be another FN design, chambered for the same round. It's not actually all that unreasonable to assume the trader probably acquired both weapons from existing British military or police armories, as both weapons have at least been tested for military service by the United Kingdom's ministry of defense in the past. Still doesn't quite explain the crossbow, though.
      • The SCAR was tested for the British army and was supposedly meant to be ordered in to replace the SA 80, however funding issues mean that it is now likely to that the G36 will take the SCA Rs place. As for the Crossbow, Crossbows are easily and legally available in the UK, the Crossbow that appears in Killing Floor appears to be an Armex Crossbow which would normally retail at around £100.
