Hornady's Zombie-Specific Defensive Load

[Bratastic007]

Finally, Some Decent Zombie-Specific Ammo - Geekologie

Just in Case! - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc

This is either the worst, or the greatest, marketing scheme for ammo of all time.

I bet they sell a ton of it.

 

[jlrhiner]

You know I'm gonna need me a box that!

 

[celticfisherman]

I'm on the hunt for it!!! Just cool. I'll stick some away as a collectors item.

I want to know what the "Z-max technology" is, they insist you don't use it on anything but zombies.

Two-parts holy water, one-part dynamite.

It's marketing genius to come up with an idea for Zombie ammo!

Wow brilliant! Im gonna snag me a box or two for sure

I was seriously disappointed in that video! The guy was doing triple taps to the chest before going to the head...on every Zombie! What a serious waste of ammo!

OMG only 185gr bullets loaded in the .45 autos!?!? Plus all of the other bullet weights are light for caliber! I'm sorry but Hornady has totally dropped the ball here! I don't even shoot paper with light bullets so you can bet that when SHTF I am reaching for the largest hunks of lead that I can send downrange...and apparently they won't be these new sissified Zombie loadings!

ETA...when did sissified make it into the dictionary!? lol what is this world coming to!?!?

Sorry, at $1 per round and up I'm not interested. First, that's too expensive for plinking (or for the "collector value") and second, it's not a good idea at all. I'm waiting for the mall ninja who thinks these are toy rounds and accidentally offs one of his buddies.

Wait until the media gets ahold of this. These will be pulled from the market faster than Jarts and Clackers.

haha Jarts were awesome and if I recall corectly around for a good long time...but what are Clackers?

 

[jlrhiner]

The wife still has her jarts, still in the box. And somewhere, I still have a set of clackers. (Probably in with my yo-yo's)

1970s Fads: Clackers

some of them shattered and caused injuries.

Isn't this more of a defensive load? From the looks of it, I'd guess that it's just their "Critical Defense" bullet with a green polymer tip instead of a red one.

In which case, $1 or more per round wouldn't be out of the question.

 

[Mule88]

Ill get some , just for the novelty of it. Probably just keep it and not shoot it.

 

[Maximumbob54]

If this isn't just a April Fool's day type marketing gag then I will at least buy a box or two for laughs.

I think that's exactly what it is, the Critical Defense with a green tip.

According to Hornady's ballistic chart, the 9mm 115 grain Critical Defense round and the 115 grain Z-Max round have the exact same ballistics, although they have different product numbers. I would go with the opinion that the only difference is the color of the plug.

 

[Bratastic007]

Too bad you can't use Z-max ammo for self defense, unless it's against a zombie.

Based on the handgun bullet weights listed, that is my guess.
