Zombie Craze: A trip to the local gun store
In keeping with my 100 round challenge, I went out and shot with my dad at Gunny’s. My dad was quick to point out all the zombie stuff. Here’s some zombie ammo boxes, which the guy behind the counter said were selling like hotcakes (I don’t actually remember the last time I bought a hotcake):
Then, here’s the zombie certified rifle from Anderson Manufacturing:
I want to start a brand of shark jumped gun products.

Uncle- Open a Zombie Hunter training camp. People will throw money at you.

I’ll talk to Robb and see if we can figure out a cool graphic that we can embroider on a hat for you.

Shark Jump would be a good name for a rock band…

Do it. Guns with a jumping shark? Awesome.

I am so sick of this zombie craze. When will it expire.
June 12th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
It already has. Unfortunately, it just keeps shambling along.
Someone shoot it in the head already, please.

I have to put in a word in opposition here.
All I see is support for violence against the “Other” in all this marketing and buying frenzy. I see no sympathy for the oppressed undead.
Who will support their undying efforts to satisfy that undeniable craving they feel? Can you not recognize they have no control over their compulsion? At least give them a chance at a moment of peace, before thoughtlessly sending a Hornady product throught their craniums!
Be careful what you seek, you may find more than you can handle. If there is going to be Zombie Hunter training, can Zombie Training for the less viable be far behind?

Mikee gets a hard-won “Heh.”
All I got is, this is going to get out of control, and someone will lose a SYG precedent case. We’ll be laughing out of the other side of our sucking chest wounds then.

I’ll let you know when Zombies have jumped the shark.
June 12th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
THIS what you mean?

The zombie craze has been dead for years, it just doesn’t have the sense to lie down.

It’s actually a sneaky a metaphor for dealing with brain-deal Liberals and cover for a kind of social battle-space preparation that mocks Affirmative Action for Zombies.

Need a logo of a Jumping Shark with frickking lasers…
shooting a zombie.
Cause in the zombie apocalypse the shark jumps you.
June 12th, 2012 at 7:29 pm
They’re called “pancakes” these days, Unc.
June 12th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
We need to get a zombie to actually jump a shark, then it will die like Happy Days, and it’ll have to retire to doing ads for reverse mortgage companiess.
June 12th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
At Green Acres they’s be selling like hotscakes.
I’m waiting for Dillon to paint a press green and market it as zombie reloading.
June 12th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Marketing… sigh…
June 12th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
Unc. I love the fact that this gunshop is in (your) the county, I trade there myself. And, I will continue to do so. There are others, as I am sure, you know. I’m just sayin…

Sigh! Whatever happened to good ol’ fashion Vampire Hunting?

Les- Abe Lincoln is bringing it back.

“Zombie” is the new “tactical”. We stock the Anderson AR, the Hornady ammo, the zombie ammo cans and the zombie Hogue grips (yuck) at the shop where I work and it ALL sells like hotcakes. The running joke around here is that they’re “Used by Anti-Zombie Tactical Operating Operators That Operate Tactically Against Zombies.” I think that basically includes every industry buzzword from the last 5 years except for “Stopping Power”.

To each their own. Shoot whatever ammo you want, even if it’s Zombie. Go capitalism! But just be man enough to fess up and admit you bought it.
My friend and I took a newbie to the range last week and he busted out a box of Zombie ammo. Instead of basking in the glory of all its undeadness, he told us it was a “gift” from his girlfriend.
Yeah riiiiiight…………

I get it, you want those damn kids who like zombie stuff to get off your lawn.
Two years ago, this would have been proof that we we’re winning.
Today all I’m hearing is whining from folks who don’t like pop culture. Geez.

Season 3 of “The Walking Dead” is coming! That is all I have to say.

I can’t believe that no one mentioned the EOTech XPS2-Z Zombie Stopper Holographic Weapon Sight. Midway’s got them! http://www.midwayusa.com/product/798337/eotech-xps2-z-zombie-stopper-holographic-weapon-sight-1-moa-dot-biohazard-reticle-matte-cr123-battery
