Now, there's a practical anti-zombie weapon...

...maybe a bit more R&D, but definitely the right track.

by the time you contact him to join us, it won't probably be necessary to send him the pinky removal kit.

I'm fairly certain that we all need to gather up Z50s and slingshots so we can stage a ridiculous party at this guys compound. (Of course he has a compound.)

Didn't Col. John Matrix perfect the "Using a saw blade as a frisbee to kill your opponents" maneuver?
I've no doubt that would hurt like hell, but unless you actually got the blade spinning at a tremendous speed (faster than a slingshot would generate I should think) you aren't going to cut anyone's head off.
Honestly I would think a much more effective weapon would be the steel boomerang from Mad Max II (the little feral bastard slings it around). With only two sharp edges, a bit more mass than a saw blade, and of course a longer "stroke" so to speak due to the length of 'rang, you could do some real damage. Now you would have to deal with the issue of ammunition supply with the boomerang gun, obviously the saw blades are pretty cheap and readily available.

But can it kill headcrab zombies?

Seems to have the potential to screw up someone's day.

The quote at the end was aweome: "I proved it! I proved you could shoot circular saw blades!" He was so excited and proud of himself!!!

Ok, so the guy built a saw blade slingshot. But sorry, it's just not zombie material. Here's why:
1) blade orientation is wrong. Should be horizontal. With the low FPS, that'll just stick in old Bob's skull (or chest if you get the trajectory wrong), he'll look up, roll his eyes and keep coming.
2) The aforementioned low FPS (feet per second). Maybe if was powered by CO2, or had a shit ton more rubber bands. TOO SLOW.
3) Range - thing is too long. When The Hoard comes, some always sneak through (the little ones) and get close. What then?
4) Reloading - ok if you're being attacked by one Romero zombie, but what if there's five 28 days zombies? screwed.
Save yourself the trouble: Full choke 12 gauge Mossberg and a razor sharp long machete ala Book of Eli, or Hanso sword. Now that'll dispatch some zombs.

Like I said, a bit of R&D would be required.
I see this as being to the final anti-zombie sawblade gun what a 15th century arquebus would be to your mossberg.

Just get some of these guys and teach them to aim higher.
