Hey Johnny, If you look at ammo purely in terms of returns on kills, none of them can stand up. 20 pistol/mp5 bullets is 15 rep, but your chance of getting 20 head shots is minimal. 12 shells is 15 rep, like you said. So the shells will never be worth the rep you would get from strictly killing zombies. One way they absolutely come in handy, though, is in helping you reach other goals. If you have a box of 12 shells, and there are two bodies blocked by two zombies, your shotgun will give you a much better opportunity to dispatch the zombies without putting yourself in too much harm. If both bodies have their own boxes of shells, you've suddenly gone from 12 to 32 shells, assuming you give both zombies the double barrel. More likely, though, those bodies will either have other things you need or other things you can drop back at the safe zone. You could turn that box of 12 shells into a sniper rifle and a clip of 40 bullets for it and still have shells left over. You can turn a little bit of equipment into a lot of equipment if you play your cards right, and then you'll end up with more reputation than you know what to do with both from kills and donations.

Answer is no, so I might as well trade it in for 15 reps and the shotgun along with it. Same with chainsaw, I asked myself, can I kill 100 of them before I die and lose this, again, answer was no, so out went the chainsaw. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
