Just admit it... you bought some 'Zombie Bullets' didn't you!!

[kb58]

No. It's about the most stupidly thought-through advertising stunt ever, and regardless how much money they make, it gives gun-owners yet another blackeye.

I bought some in 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm for the novelty, but the price tag at the local store was outrageous. I shot some of the 5.56mm stuff, both chrony and accuracy, and found it wasn't as accurate in my rifle as my handloads. Chrony'd at 2850 out of a 16 tube. The 7.62x39mm box I leave intact for photo stuff of the joke kind,



And who knows, when my son goes through my stuff after the will reading, maybe it will be worth something.

 

[CZguy]

Just not into the whole current zombie fad.

Wasn't into the recent vampire fad, either.

Or the pirate fad that preceded it.

I knew that I was old, but I didn't even know about the first two.

 

[orionengnr]

Negative, Ghost Rider.

NO...................Its Stupid.

[scythefwd]

yup..some sierra game king zombie bullets.

 

[BADUNAME37]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[wankerjake]

I found an empty box the other day at a popular shooting spot. I chuckled. I don't buy it but I do try and set aside a box or two after a reloading session once in awhile and store it away in an ammo can for stockpiling. I call it my "bullets for zombies campaign." But really it's in case components get stupid expensive or scarce like they did 4 years ago. Ya know cause zombies, while hilarious, aren't real

 

[HGUNHNTR]

I love hearing some of these responses! I never would have guessed so many adults would react so violently to a little fun/humor. I'll buy some more tomorrow in y'alls place.

 

[M.Weier]

I bought thousands of the zmax .224 bullets for handloading because they are vmax bullets with a differant color tip, and they are priced less than vmax! Seemed like a no brainer to me!

 

[4D5]

Bought 1 box in .233 and one box in 45 acp just for the novelty.

 

[taraquian]

Yep, bought boxes of 9mm .380 and .40. $5 a box less than my usual critical defense...and i like green

 

[Robert]

Nope

 

[JEB]

found a box in .40 a few months ago and passed. kinda wish i hadnt. i have really been holding out to find a box in 12ga to give to a buddy of mine. he is a "shotgun only" kind of guy and i think he would get a kick out of it.

 

[steveo452]

I can't believe people fall for this Zombie Max crap. Anybody with half a brain know's regular ammo works just as well on a zombie.

 

[asia331]

No; reasons follow.
1. Silliest damn fad I've seen in quite a long time.
2. Following a righteous DGU, who would like to be the "pioneer" to have to explain their Zombie load-out to a Grand Jury?

 

[Texan Scott]

No. Not just because it's a stupid fad, but because I haven't been able to find any DATA for them. Are they just a typical Hornady red tip in different colors? i can't find word one about purported velocities, anything!

Crazy thing is, apparently they make 'zombie bullets' for .30-30. Haven't seen them, but my BIL says he bought some. (presumably, the zombie virus, like influenza, could spread to feral hogs- though I'm not sure how that would make them any worse.)

FUNNY thing is, I asked him if he'd seen the new tacticool Mossberg levergun.
He hadn't. I showed him a picture. He nearly vomited, i think. Even the .30-30 zombie load buying BIL gagged at that one. He accused me of photoshopping it. I had to show him the actual website. Finally he decided it IS the perfect rifle for the zombie .30-30 (you have to admit, it makes an odd sort of sense). Now he wants one just for what he calls 'the ugly factor'.

Some people's children...

 

[Davek1977]

No, not out of any disdain for the idea or concept, but because I believe Federal Fusion 62 grainers will dispatch zombies better!!!!! That....and I'm a cheapass who already has a LOT of ammo on hand.

 

[murphys_law]

Nope, overpriced. Neat marketing idea though.

 

[Walkalong]

When time to replenish my supply of 55 Gr V-Max's, I bought the cheaper Z-Max's, since they were reported to be the same, albeit with a cannelure. I do not think they are quite the same. They seem to be of heavier construction.

 

[RDCL]

I'll pick up a box one day.....if anything just to say "look at this"

Have to say though, I never thought I'd see the day when a major ammo maker would actually cater to this silly (but highly entertaining) fad.

[brnmuenchow]

Rather have Buffalo Bore.

I would imagine that if that don't stop a zombie, nothing will! (But I guess the green tip gives the zombie bullet special powers like the silver bullets do for werewolves.)
Still have to say no to buying them, I have not jumped on the zombie slaying fad bandwagon yet. Love zombie movies... hate the fad.

 

[Skribs]

Nope, I won't buy the zombie bullets. Not because they're some overpriced premium marketed round and zombies are stupid (because I don't care about any of that), but because the design they have offers low penetration.

 

[CountryUgly]

Yep I sure have.... the way I see it is my gun is a tool first and a toy second. Does Z-Max work as a suitable defense or hunting round...YES.... Is shooting guns fun.....does the zombie craze bring intresting and uniquely fun products to the open market....don't you like to have fun with a hobby....I know I do...Soooo, I bought it because it's an effective and reliable round that adds a little fun without costing anymore than the plain looking box of the same stuff next to it on the shelf.

 

[CoRoMo]

I should have made it a poll thread.

Dang it.
