Define “toy.” And am I the only one who’s all zombied-out? Brownell’s Center for Zombie Awareness? I know it’s the run up to Halloween and all, but as they say in New York, geddowdaheah. Meanwhile, here’s the rundown:
HORN Z-Max “Zombie Max” 12ga 00 10pk 86247

MSRP-wise, I’ve got $22.62 on the 9mm, $25.91 on the 40 and $27.15 on the 45acp.
Soo… what exactly makes it “certified zombie ammunition”? Or is it just a limited run marketing gimmic type thing? Either way, I’m buying a few boxes. 😈
I actually thought the whole Zombie gimmick was entertaining in the mass email they sent out today. It’s the first one I’ve opened and then clicked through in many months.
Can you please forward it to me? [email protected]
What, no slugs?
Meh.
Hey, if it gets more people who play Call Of Honor Zombie Apocalypse 4.0: The Zombies Strike Back on the X-Stations to actually, you know, go out to the range rather than sit on their collective @$$3$, that’s a good thing.
MUST BUY……MUST BUY……
Even the government is using zombie themes in disaster preparedness PSAs. It’s a useful shorthand.
I think that Zombie ammo belongs in the same category as a custom Devil face image placed onto your exotic wood handgun grips: Do not use in self-defense as it will help the prosecutor portray you as a trigger-happy nutcase.
This makes me long for the days when vampires were all the rage. Male vampires waltzed around in rented formalwear speaking Romanian, the females wore corsets with low cut, revealing bodices, and they were hot even though they were cold. If a vampire got frisky with you, you got to walk around every night for eternity seducing all the girls or boys who never gave you the time of day before you were undead. It was the gift that kept on giving.
Zombies, on the other hand, are slow, stupid, gross, smell bad and they don’t just drink your blood, they eat your liver. Yuck!
Ralph, this is for you:
Female Vampires ~ Top 25 ~ [TRL]

Vampires are for teenagers. Juvenile psychosexual fantasies and all that. Us adults have definitely outgrown them and moved on to zombies. Look how cool they are. You get to blow their heads off, and it’s legal (assuming they’re real zombies!). Teenage girls fantasize about vampires at slumber parties. Grow up, man!
Besides, zombies and guns go together like peanut butter and jelly. What do you use for vampires? Wooden stakes and garlic. There’s fun for you. Not!
hey slab, ever hear of wooden bullets? 😉
Slab. Sorry, but after that video clip I want to go to a female vampire slumber party asap! No urge, zip, zilch, zero, nada, to fight back!!!!!
Where’s the sub-sonic .300 BLK?
No .44 Magnum for my lever action…Hail the King Baby!
Apparently the release date is November 4. This will be a very cool collectors’ item.
The first time I ever really thought about buying a gun was when I was 13 and played Resident Evil. I thought shooting zombies with an 870 would be pretty cool. That was back when zombies were simply for geeks. No one else found them entertaining or cared about Dawn of the Dead.
It’s just like every other geek interest the mainstream has clamped onto and run with in the last ten odd years. It hasn’t been cool for a long, long time.
Still, if I could pick an apocalypse, I’d go with zombies. Infrastructure will remain largely intact. There won’t be any massive climatic change like you’d get with a large scale nuclear exchange or comet/asteroid impact. I live in low population density, so they’re not horribly dangerous. It’s not one zombie, or even ten, that kills you. It’s a hundred zombies.
You’re wrong about which apocalypse would be the best, I used to agree with you until I watched this video.

Probably not even a hundred zombies would do the job, its the impassable moat of zombies that would form if you survived long enough.
No 357 magnum?
Well, maybe it’s because the 357 magnum is already superb at making dead things deader. Can’t improve on perfection…
I calculate that 500 rounds of .45 ACP will run you $678.75. Yikes! I usually pay less than 1/3 of that for .45 ACP FMJ. I think I will pass.
But the box is really neat!
Once werewolves come back in style I hope we can expect silver bullets from Hornady.
Just about as valid as discounting Jefferson’s statements about freedom because he owned slaves.
In other words, it’s an ad hominem attack just like any other. A tool for those without a proper argument to convince the simple minded.
