This is hypothetical and defies the laws of physics, but they mantain their speed at that size in this scenario. You won't be able to do much a crossbow or sword. You would need flamethrowers and mortars.Breh, im investing in a Claymore and crossbow, and doing work. Imagine if roaches cause the abandonment of whole towns?

How much raid would it take to kill a 80 lb. cockroach though? An M-16 would be more practical.I would cop some shares in any company that produces insect repellent.

This couldn't actually happen because of the square cube law.
An insect that big wouldn't be able to move, much less support itself. Basically, when an
object increases in size, it’s surface area is the cube of the size increase, while its volume is the cube of the multiplier. So when something increases in size, it's volume/mass increase way more than it's surface area.
So for example, if you were twice as tall with the same proportions, you'd gain four times the muscle mass...but you'd weight 1000+ lbs and thus wouldn't be able to support yourself. Likewise, an insect with same same proportions wouldn't come close to being able to move or support itself at that size.

I'd tame one, learn to fly on it and shyt, then have it link up with its friends so we could overthrow the world's governments. Start a new roach order

You'd better be more concerned with the giant wasps that would hatch...
considering alot of roaches contain jewel wasp eggs.
