IM, do you happen to have 3000 hungry rottweilers that need feeding on overconfident videogame experts or something?

We dont have to worry about flanks, it's just us vs some dogs. Lets say 20 a wave, If the space is 10 meters wide, and I have 6 people each cover 2 meters, with every other person laying down surpression fire. We could defeat them quite easily.

The waves are of varying number, so there could literally be a few with a few dozen dogs, and then one big wave of a thousand dogs at once.

Doesn't matter overmuch if you can get to the top of the wall.

Other than the barking noise will be deafening - probably even drowning out the gunfire.

I'm guessing that almost 3,000 doggos pressing their feeties against the wall might bring it down...

I don't know IM. I've never had to mow down waves of viscious dogs with an assault rifle. It doesn't seem like it would be easy though seeing as they're intent on killing and can't be scared off etc.

Dogs are alright really. The viscious ones tend to be so for a reason. Usually the way they have been trained or raised.

It wouldn't be that hard tbh. One 7.62x39 is gonna take a doggo out of the fight, even if it doesn't die outright it'll be too wounded to continue. Load em up with some Norinco drums and you're good to go.

Oh that's a fairly good callout.

You'd also want to make sure you didn't lay down indiscriminate fire too close to the wall, it wouldn't do any good to have the rising bodies of dogs to meet you. You'd want to leave those living dogs that were already at the foot of the wall alive.

Depends on the size of the waves and the size of the area. In less than 20 meters, they're fucked.

I don't know. Let's say as high as the Berlin Wall.

That's alright, a dog can't jump that high, so you only need to really worry about the entrance to this little bunker
As for the shooting distance in front of you (with the two sides by walls) let's say... 2/3 of the length and width of an average high school gymnasium (where they play basketball)

is that fair?

I was thinking more the area of this 3 sided bunker of ours. How long would you say each side would be? How long are each of the walls?

I figure that if the dogs can't get you then they'd all start eating each other.
