Giant Camel Spiders

From the HideAwayKnife's site customer feedback:
Be sure to thank ******* for the knife. I wear it all the time, even in the shower. We have these camel spiders that are freakin huge and fast movers!! They hang out at night, near the showers. I shower with that knife and a flashlight. I already zapped one bug with that little knife. It's great because it won't slip with soapy hands. I even got a compliment from some women Marines for the kill, after I showed off the carcass stuck on my knife. It was big enough to refer to it as a carcass.

Personally I would prefer a knife with a handle to do one in. ;)
 
I am thinking a Shark'n'Gator Hi-Tec ZombieRazor(TM) should be the windscorpion dispatcher of choice (though they only are available to dark-oops mall ninja troopers and not the common soldier in the field)....

Hm. Gor a knife id have to go with something long and sharp and very lgiht. If they can move fast it needs to be light for speed. But my weapon of choice would be a US sniper rifle with 5 inch APFSDS rounds. The spider would literally FRAGMENT INTO MIST. My kinda Raid.
 
No problem. :)

looks like a face hugger to me...and as for the knife I would use a meat cleaver :D
 
I guess I'm weird, but spiders don't bother me much. Now cockroaches are a different story. I'll hurt anyone who tries to put a cockroach on me. As for knives in this, I wouldn't want to kill them if I can avoid it. They're cool looking, and probably eat whatever huge Iraqi cockroaches roam around over there, but if I had to, probably a large kukri or machete of some sorts. Got some reach and some chopping power.
 
Knife? I'd throw spider eating snakes at them. :eek:

and then run screaming with the SilverFox. But it's like running from a bear, I only have to run faster than SFK and all should be well. :D

Ripley: How many drops this is for you, lieutenant?
Gorman: Thirty-eight... simulated.
Vasquez: How many combat drops?
Gorman: Uh... two... including this one.

Lt. Gorman: I'm coming in.
Private Hudson: I feel safer already.

Ripley: Well, someone's gonna have to go down there, take a portable transmitter and patch in.
Hudson: Yeah, sure, with those things running around? You can count me out.
Hicks: Well I guess we can count you out of everything then.
Hudson: That's right, man.
Bishop: I'll go. I mean, I'm the only one qualified to remote-pilot the ship anyway.
Hudson: That's right, man, Bishop should go. Good idea!

Ripley: They cut the power.
Private Hudson: What do you mean "they cut the power"? How could they cut the power, man? They're animals!
Sound

Hudson: I am ready man, check it out, I am the ULTIMATE bad ass. State-of-the-bad-ass-art. You do not want to f--- with me. Check it out! Hey Ripley, don't worry. Me and my squad of ultimate bad-asses will protect you. Check it out! Independently targeting particle beam phalanx...FWAP! Fry half a city with this puppy. We got tactical smart missiles, phase plasma pulse rifles, RPGs, we got sonic, electronic, BALL breakers! We got nukes, we got knives, sharpsticks...

Hudson: Is this going to be a standup fight, sir, or another bughunt?
Gorman: All we know that is there still is no contact with the colony, and that a xenomorph may be involved.
Frost: Excuse me sir, a what?
Gorman: A xenomorph.
Hicks: It's a bughunt.

[When they are dropped over LV-426]
Private Hudson: We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!

Private Hudson: In case you haven't been paying attention to current events, we just got our asses kicked, pal!

Private Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, OK?
Ellen Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. That's the only way to be sure.
Private Hudson: F***'n A...
Burke: Ho-ho-hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ellen Ripley: They can *bill* me.

[The drop-ship crashes]
Private Hudson: Well that's great, that's just f---'n great man, now what the f--- are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty s--- now man... That's it man, game over man, game over, man! Game over! What the f--- are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?

Private Hudson: Dear Lord Jesus, this can't be happenin' man, this isn't happenin'...
Ellen Ripley: Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training. Right?
Private Hudson: So why don't you put her in charge?

Bishop: I'm afraid I have some bad news.
Private Hudson: Well that's a switch.
 
M-16A2M4 , Beretta 9mm or a trusty .45ACP 1911 minimum .Beside these little monsters hide in the latrines-guess where it will bite you if you accidentally sit on it? :confused: :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Man, I have bigger spiders than that in my barn, and they looove hanging out in the saddles, blankets, and by the lightswitches. I'll try to find a pic.

For that monster?! I'd use a Barrett Light Fifty. There wouldn't even be mist left!

A picture of a HUGE hole in the sand! Wait, I can do that now! You'd all believe me, right?
 
they are in the order solifugae,

they are NON VENEMOUS.

they are the fastest arachnid, and are really hard to keep in captivity.

They are all teeth, so tiring one out and catching it behind the head with a knife is a great way.

Tiring them out is easy, just keep chasing them, they are built for short distances but not long distances.
They use hair to build nests, so people might find them often near hollofil sleeping bags or pillows on a bad night.
 
I dealt with quite a few of those in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in my career. They get quite big, but they generaly stay away from humans. We would sometimes collect them up and bet on them fighting on our day off. The only thing I could really say about them is they are very ugly. LOL I have never seen one of our guys get bit by one, but I am sure it has happened sometime somewhere.
