Obviously it's sarcasm. He's just implying that Minecraft isn't a fighting game. And if you get overwhelmed quickly, quite frankly that means you're doing it wrong. It's easy to fight off hordes of mobs with just a sword. It doesn't even have to be enchanted.
That's not wht this thread is about, its about letting us play how we want.
I personally don't want one weapon, sure there's axes but they are a waste I want balanced weaponry that changes up gameplay.
They could also give zombies these weapons occasionally to really change up the gameplay.

Yeah, skeletons with crossbows, and a chance for a zombie to spawn with a musket, but it takes him so long to reload, that you may have a chance to go in and bash him to death. Maybe have a good chance of dropping it.
You wanna know what a good mash pack would be? One that adds blood, to make it more appealing to the older players like us, but keep it as a kid game. Also, melee weapons are better for zombies anyways. Yes, a bow will get you nowhere in a zombie apocalypse. You are right about that. Add hammers for zombies. I would like to bash skulls open with a big blunt object. Hammers would be the best zombie weapon. Swords get stuck in people. If you are doing this thing with beheading zombies with one hit from the sword, maybe.

Popular fiction says a decapitated zombie head stays alive and biting at you, but a sharp sword doesn't really get stuck.
In wood it might, but zombies don't wear wood often
Killing the hub of the CNS in the brain is meant to be the only way to kill em, which hammers are pretty good at I'm guessing.
Bows if your good with em have the sort of fire rate that lets you pick off a good few zombies silently before you wanna run in with a melee weapon and grab some arrows back.

It would be risky handling used arrows, and it might take a while to pull out the arrows. You would be better off with a shotgun of some kind. If you are using a bow, and you get surrounded, you are done. The gun I would want in a zombie apocalypse would be the Russian PKM. Belt fed light machine gun with a 100 bullet belt. You can non stop fire for like thirty seconds. Those can pierce certain types of Kevlar. Ammo is very cheap, Gun is light, and powerful. More powerful than an assault rifle. I wouldn't be surprised if you could gun down a helicopter with that beast. The force used to eject the shells can hit your arm and cut you.

Yes but guns make a lot of noise and you have to keep the ammo supplies up.
Full auto weapons also use a lot more shots than you need. If I was gonna hand any rifle it would be a carbine which is a shortened AR preferably with a suppressor and a fire selector with semi auto, the caliber isn't important against zombies only accuracy.

Lets get back on topic. The musket in balkon's weapon mod arches. That is not how it should work in the game. Mobs can even dodge it. In game, the shots should be too fast to dodge and don't arch. That would deal a ton of damage. Only rejected by diamond and chain armors. It either goes right through the armor, or it gets rejected by the armor. I'm pretty sure that we can talk about off topic things as long as some part of the post is on topic. Last, I'm pretty sure that you are fine if the biggest belt you can have for it will let you spray for two minutes without stopping at 200 rounds a minute. It's not like the gun is a mini gun too. Mini guns weigh a lot. About as much as an average refrigerator. The gun I am talking about is light. Remember, you will not only fight zombies, but you will also fight marauders or bandits, or even worse, raiders. The PKM will let you fight all.
I am beginning to think that this thread wants to make minecraft more like skyrim. No offense but I dont like the idea of sooo many weapons. Maybe add a spear, a shield and a morning star or a battle axe but thats all. I would not like this game to have guns because that is what makes Minecraft so special. It is one of the few games that doesnt have guns and lets you have lots of fun. Come on, if I wanted to play Minecraft with guns I would just play Castle Miner Z or play a mod from Minecraft PC

Ok... Ok, against people you want something bigger, but in any urban environment a carbine is great flick it to full auto, and you have similar suppression capabilities of a LMG, If the round your shooting is anything around 7.62 you don't usually have to worry about them troubling you a lot.
I guarantee you it has a faster fire rate than 200 rpm, if your gun could do semi instead of only automatic fire, it would be great.
But ideally you want a lighter weapon that is efficient with its ammo like a DMR but can also handle slightly faster controllable fire, preferably a gun with good recoil reduction systems like the AEK.
For finding other groups in a zombie apocalypse... Well they would rarely be shoot on sight situations because ammo is rare, its just as dangerous to engage in combat as to try robbing them.
As for the real topic

Most games are set in modern times, minecraft still isn't set in modern times and you can still make TNT cannons.
We aren't asking for all these in the base game... Because well its clear that not everybody wants the game to change, I'm thinking along the lines of a mash up pack set in the time where muskets have only just shown up and armour is just beginning to get phased out but still features along with an assortment of these weapons and shields.

I would buy a mash up pack that added muskets, and guns. Mash up packs should add more features too. Also, you can do semi auto with the pkm. The gun can non stop spray for thirty seconds on it's 100 bullet belt, which I calculated to 200 rpm. I think it has the same ammo as rifles, just you have to put the rifle bullets in the belts. The gun surprisingly is only 8 pounds, maybe 10-11 with the bullets. Still, light gun. The far cry games realistically depict the gun. It is a good gun for fighting many people at once. It is also good against animals. The Russians made all the good guns.
I fight endermen with no armor and a stone sword. More overpowered weapons is a bad idea, it is impossible to die with diamond tools. I like these suggestions, but some of them are too op.
This will have the devs put more than two minutes of thought into our combat system. Also, what difficulty? That is impossible on hard, especially since one stone sword will not last long. Don't even say you do that with pig men in the nether, because one will last like ten seconds. I know for a fact that is impossible.

200 rpm is incredibly slow for a squad automatic weapon.
I would expect around 800 or 600 at the least. Don't believe what you see in movies IRL a whole mag lasts a few short seconds, the more ammo you carry, the more you weigh, the slower you run, the sooner you get flanked by zombies. The idea of zombies is that its a fight you can't win, fire a gun and more will show up, fire full auto and you won't have the rounds to fight them off, its not an half hour event with all the ammo you can afford its years of rationing all your resources for an extra day of finding your salvation.
The recoil of a gun that uses rifle rounds like the 7.62 is not controllable without a bipod. If you have time to put a bipod down you have time to pick your shots and shoot conservatively and accurately.

Large majority of people don't want that, maybe as an optional pack in options aswell?

Cos the original idea is lame?
