Hornady's Zombie-Specific Defensive Load

[ralph7]

i dunno,

if you have to actually kill an errant brain eater, an over zealous prosecuting attorney might point out that it was pre meditated, since you bought ammo specially marked for your intended victim.

I'm thinking that since there are those who adamantly take the stance that we shouldn't carry hand loads because of the legal implications, using "Zombie Loads" for SD would be a prosecuter's wet dream.

I thought that kind of lawyer trash was finally a dead issue?

I'll buy some. I like the box graphics. I also like the big blurb about it not being a toy, that it is live rounds.

But yeah, all they did was change the color of the tips. I haven't gotten any yet, but I think the zombie killer rounds green tip may actually glow in the dark.

They may not have done thorough ballistic testing after changing the plastic, so the disclaimer for zombies only may simply cover them if for some reason the different plastic made the things fail miserably in tissue.

These are the Critical Defense rounds with a green tip and a different box.

I will buy them for the collector purchase.

I remember seeing clackers hanging from telephone lines and tree branches when I was a kid.

We can only hope ...

The most common injury among me and my friends was bruised and broken wrist bones. Well, we all conked ourselves in the head at first but we learned to hold them wa-ay far at arm's length.

I saw he Zombie Max video on U-Tube. The disclaimer (at the end) was puzzeling. At first blush, I dismissed this as corporate humor. However, Hornady is a serious company and their reputation is their bread & butter. On reflection, I believe this to be a political message. Apocalyptic ammunition?

Funny this post came up cause I bought some today. Why? For the heck of it I guess. Definately didn't need any more ammo.

And it is the same as Critical Defense. Only with a green tip. The box gives specific instructions on how to use it.

Brilliant marketing. The gun shop where I bought say their selling like crazy.

DAdams, If I didn't know better, I'd say you're really into zombies.

Darn...they don't have it in 38 or 357. It would look cool alternating the regular critical defense and these green ones.

Especially since the green ones glow in the dark. How sweet would that look to have six or eight glowing holes in the cylinder?

Nope! Where did you get that from? I saw gatorfarmer say above..."but I think the zombie killer rounds green tip may actually glow in the dark"...but they actually do not.

You can keep all that zombie stuff....

When they start walkin around...I'm using this

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the brass case. Critical Defense has a nickel plated case.

 

[DAdams]

The box I purchased does not glow in the dark. Tritium tips would probably not go over.

Along with the bullet weights all being light for the caliber I'm also disappointed with the brass cases. At about $1.00 a round they should be nickel plated cases just like most of the law enforcement stuff. Since we are most likely going to be waiting a very, very long time before we are able to use this ammo on it's intended target I think they should be nickel plated and sealed at the primers and case mouths!

I like the burber carpet very nice choice.
