You're in a big open area (real life). You have nothing but a standard, unmodified handgun of your choice that has an infinite reserve of ammo, but you still have to reload it. There is cover scattered around the area for you to run around, but you cannot climb on top of anything. If Hive Thrall were released into the area (all at once, they don't come back once you kill them), what is the maximum number of them that you think you can handle with a good chance of survival? These are all standard thrall, not cursed by the way, and no loopholes/cheeses please. Also remember they all would drop in at the same time. Whatever number you choose, if you survive for 10 minutes, the rest will disappear. Scenario 2: Now how many do you think you can survive in the same situation except with a baseball bat instead of a gun? EDIT: I left some things vague on purpose for you to interpret, but I'll try to clear some things up here: Lets just say for the handgun, I'll define it as a real firearm that you can easily use with only one hand. The thrall would be smarter than Destiny AI, but you could also move and fight in a lot of ways that your guardian couldn't in game (But like I said earlier, you are not allowed to climb on top of anything). Let's pretend the thrall would take at most 2 bullets to the head, anywhere else would depend, obviously hitting the limbs won't do much. We'll also say that people can take 1 or 2 direct hits to a vital area depending on your physique. The thrall would spawn 20 meters in front of you in a group (Clustered in a group IN FRONT of you, not surrounding you).
