Heavy Weapon Dude Name Change - When?

[princetontiger]

When did Chaingunners become Heavy Weapon Dudes?

[out_of_service]

Since the Doom 2 ending credits sequence?

[Chip]

He wasn't called either in the manual. 

[battlescroll]

ya thats a good question. maybe id forgot to edit the names when they went with heavy weapon dude.

[magicsofa]

He's heavy, he's weapon, he's dude.

He is Heavy Weapon Dude.

It all started when they switched from your bog-standard chaingun to a special variant that weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute

Zombie nomenclature is pretty simple, really. There's the Pistol Private, the Shotgun Sergeant and the Chaingun Commando.

[Bauul]

His name is Dennis.  But we never bothered to find out, did we?

I always though his name was firing squad because of Ploutonia.....or is that a group of chain gunners? Hmmmm (thinking emoji)

And here I thought his name was Plutonia Paul.

So I've always called these guys "Donahs" because growing up, one of my neighbors with the last name Donah looked exactly like the Chaingunner. I'm dead serious, the guy looks exactly like the chaingunner (But with white skin), and had the exact same head shape with the same type of beard and bald head.

We should have collective names for demon types.

Could call a group of zombiemen a lawn. Because they have green hair and they're so easy to mow down.

Yes! Great, I like that one already! Great start, that's the spirit :D
