Outpost : Why keep shooting?

Why keep shooting?

So they establish that bullets have no effect on the zombies. They don't hurt them, kill them, or even slow them down... yet they keep firing shot after shot at them? Why? To "draw them in?" They could have been throwing pocket change at them and accomplished the same thing.

It always annoys me when movies do this. Prime examples are Terminator 3 & 4. "Oh look, there's the nigh-invincible killing machine hardened against future weapons, I'll just shoot at it over and over again with my 9mm pistol and hope for... what exactly?

I'll tell you why they do it, the same reason characters in movies pump their shotguns or cock their pistols at dramatic moments, it just looks cool (unless you have half a brain in your head, then it looks retarded).

Try to look at it this way; you're scared s&^tless, there's a nazi with a knife advancing on you, you've got a gun in your hand...what happens?

Come on!!!!!

Cornered Soldier: "I say there! I've never had anything against you Jerries, old boy. Here let me make us a nice cup of tea."

Nazi: "YARRRRRRGH!!!!!"

Cornered Soldier: "Well there is a gun in my hand but it will have no effect. TOSH! I guess I'll just let this undead Nazi pizzle run me through. Hmm, yes, take one for God and Queen. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

If they were going to die they wanted to die defiant and without showing fear.

Re: Why keep shooting?

Ya same question all the way.....
shooting like hell.. even though it has no effect
But still the fans will find an answer.. no matter how stupid it is

Who would keep shooting... when you know that the thousand bullets u tried before had no effect
I think 90 percent wont do it

Re: Why keep shooting?

Except shooting them did slow them down, if you paid some actual attention you'd notice that when they got shot, they'd stop in their tracks and/or stumble back, and when Prior shot the big baddy in the head it put him out for a while, then when he slit the other ones throat it put him down for a while, so attacking them might not kill them, but it does slow them down.

And they weren't trying to kill them anyway, just keep them back long enough for Hunt to get the machine running.
