Even if you had it truck mounted, well, then you need gas for the truck , and gas eventually goes bad.
If you've ever read the Walking Dead comic books, one of the things the survivors eventually figure out is that they can never stay in the same place for very long, because sooner or later a zombie herd will show up. These herds can be anywhere from a few hundred to tens of thousands strong. All you can realy do against a herd is run, because they will pretty much overwhelm any defenses you've got through sheer numbers.
So when the herd comes the last thign I want is to be tied to a machine gun, .50 caliber or not. I want something I can run and shoot with, and make my escape.
