I use the Scavenger all the time and get power-ups. Same with the Wonderwaffe. I can't remember if you do with the thunder-gun, but I don't think you do.

Still possible but not as likely as with other guns.

The new wonder weapon, that shrink ray, it doesn't actually kill zombies it just makes them die from any damage, even walking over them. So powerups still drop when you use the shrink ray gun.

After a little debate I decided to take a closer look at this topic. A couple people have said that you can receive power ups and most believed that you can not. Well after experimenting in a COTD solo game myself I think I have finally figured it out.
It turns out both sides are right.
I played multiple rounds with ONLY the scavenger and wunderwaffe. The results were that I did not get any power up drops from any zombies. Not one single drop. I went four rounds, so a power up should have been dropped in case any one believes that maybe there weren't any for the round.
Now here is the catch... After I killed George and got the wunderwaffe I had a few crawlers to kill, so I shot a wunderwaffe at them and out popped a max ammo. This caught me by surprise. That now leads me to believe that if a zombie is damaged in some way before shooting at it with a wonderwaffe or scavenger than the zombie is enabled to drop power ups.

This sounds very reasonable.

i have to agree with this. first off i use to believe that you DO NOT get power ups from these weapons.
but after a few games playing 2 players only on cotd, doing the light house glitch with 2 people, i found out that you DO get power ups if you shoot or hurt the zombies before finishing them with these wonder weapons.

how i did it? well 2 people in the glitch and wait for them to come mob the door before we blast. few times i had scavenger and waffle, my friend with hk/rpk/ak you know regular guns. in the high rounds, my friends guns werent getting much kills but he was ranking up those points, so i let him shoot as much as he wants for the points before i finish them with my scavenger or waffle, THERE WAS A GOOD AMOUNT(did not count) of the power ups dropping for us behind the door.
Now, how do i know its the wonder weapons? because i was getting all of the kills, my friends guns was getting him 2-4 kills every clip or so.. and most of the time when the power up dropped, it was too far from the door for us to just go and touch the door to get it, its because the scav and waffle killed them away from the door, but still behind it.
