Prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse?

[Sir William]

These guys are purveyors of fine wares specifically designed to combat zombies!

Even if our own array of killing tools is superior in many aspects to theirs, I still got a kick out of checking them out.  They exhibit a rough, apocalyptic look...the prices aren't bad considering these are no wall hangers- although a touch more than I would've considered fair, but then, there's no historicity with these weapons like we come to expect from mid- to high-end sources.

[Sir Edward]

It's funny, they're not the only one doing this. One of the knife-manufacturing companies put out an apocalypse line of knives and machetes, and had product placement on The Walking Dead TV series.

[Sir Brian]

They still don't have the reach or awesome cutting power of a decent longsword!

[Sir Wolf]

hah! funny you can see this at work but not other armour stuff hehehe

cool

[Sir James A]

I can name historical weapons that inspired at least half of those. Very similar.

Please don't get me started...I wonder at that daily.  I think someone is effing with me up in the server room.  lol

In the modern firearms arena, Hornady, the ammo manufacturer produces a whole line of zombie bullets

those are a hoot! i saw those at a local gun show

[Sir Edward]

lol, I wonder what makes them particularly good for zombies. I don't see anything mentioning what's different about that ammo.

[Sir Wolf]

it says zombies so they can add 15 bucks per box on a normal box of 45s

I'm betting that's it precisely.

I zoomed in on the picture, but all I can make out is "WARNING: Contains no human flesh."

lol!  It also looks like the tips are green. So my guess is that's the difference. They each have a drop of green paint.

The Hornady zombie rounds are mostly re-purposed rounds from other lines.  A lot of the rifle rounds are really their V-Max rounds (varmint rounds), and I believe most of the pistol zombie rounds are really their critical defense rounds with green flex tips instead of red flex tips.  They're not really any more expensive than their non-zombie counterparts (the .45 ACP Zombie Max is actuall $0.84 cheaper than a box of .45 Crit Defense), and you at least get cool box art....

For example, the Hornady Critical Defense .45 ACP is a 185 grain flex tip bullet, its stats match almost identically to the '.45 Zombie-Max' round...
