I don't suppose I am discovering anything new here, but while playing the
HL2 mod called Substance I discovered that using those manhacks as weapons
can be very effective. And I don't mean shooting them at enemies with the
GG, but rather just grabbing them with the GG and use them as electric saws
against any other foe. It only takes a touch of them against an enemy to
kill it, a couple at the most. In fact, the enemies won't even come to you!

Anyway, I just wanted to get this one out of me. I thought it was quite
amusing.

But of course, to do that you have to get close to your enemies and will
end up sustaining a lot of damage just to perform this "cool" act,
making the whole thing worthless.

Maybe in the Substance mod, which I haven't played, you can use the
manhacks in Ravenholm. Using them the way Jay described against zombies
would be fun.

I would have to agree on not using this technique against soldiers or any
foe that could shoot. I tried it only against zombies, antlions, and
headcrabs. For these last 3 it worked perfectly.

Sounds like! I got killed a couple times trying to figure out if I
could pick up one of those engines with a propeller on it and tote it
around chopping zombies. Ya don't pick it up, that's for sure The
way the screen was spinning all crazy for a second I figure it was the
view from my head as it flew away. So glad it's only a game
