Has anyone picked up the new Zombie Slayer edition yet?



Sorry for the poor quality pic, it's a bit more lime green in reality.

I'm loading mine with Hornady Zombie Max with Winchester Silvertips in reserve for werewolves.

Zombie Killing Ammo

I think S&W has a shot at beating out Ruger with this one.
Let me know what you guys think.

I never quite understood this type of thing. People treating their firearms more like toys than weapons/tools. How would this look in court if you had to use this Shield in a self defense or off duty situation? I don't even like the idea of "zombiemax" ammo, even though its regular functioning real ammo with a green tip instead of red. Just my thoughts...
 
I fear this gimmick will have consequences as small children may indeed see these as toys. I had a neighbor's child when the shells first appeared on shelves ask if the Zombie slugs were "toys". Gets a few laughs now, but what happens when..........?

This trend of guns and ammo for Zombies , pink guns or any other other thing that makes a gun "look like toys" is nuts..... they are not toys.

I don't think we want guns that look like toys anymore than we want toys/airsoft to look "exactly like" guns.

Accidents happen easily enough without confusing other people of Kids!

PS I have been known to bond with my teenage boys with a episode of "The Walking Dead" LOL
 
If firearms safety was taught in schools as part of the regular curriculum, along with money management and survival, we wouldn't have a lot of these ignorant "accidents".

Gun looks nice.

+1, especially on the court aspect. Even if you are not prosecuted in a SD shooting you may find yourself on the wrong end of a wrongful death law suit.

In either case, criminal or civil suit, the opposing attorney will try to paint you as a "gun nut" eager to use your weapon. Don't give them any extra ammunition like this(no pun intended).
 
Just so we're clear, this post was jokingly meant to poke fun at the zombie craze. (Notice the grin emoticon at the beginning)


This is just a normal M&P Shield with a very poor photoshop job by me. :p

I agree with everyone who dislikes the introduction of zombies :eek: into the world of firearms and every other area for that matter.
 
Boys, as I see it this Zombie marketing concept now out there by several manufacturers is nothing but trouble for responsible gun owners. We just dodged, extreme new gun laws, and ask the folks to take a look at mental issues, video games, Movies, etc. Now, along come gun manufacturers chasing the almighty $ and play right into the hand of our opponents with this kind of nonsense. Put yourself on the opposite side of the fence. Here is one statement decrying the influence of video games/hollywood/ what have you, and the gun manufacturers are supplying the gun to do away with what Hollywood and video has created. A total figment of ones imagination. At 71 I have yet to see a zombie and really think it is nonsense to market in that direction. To say I am dissappointed in these manufacturers is an understatement.

First off, I too really like "The Walking Dead".

As far as coloring or marks go, what about FDE? or whatever else as colors for different parts of guns? Where do you draw the line? Pink and zombie green seem to be out.

I know I'm about to unleash a storm, but personally I think pistols with the FDE grip inserts look more like toys than the original, all black versions. Same goes for AR-15 rifles, when they are decked out in half FDE furniture, they don't look the military counterpart any longer and resemble toys or airsoft more.

Many are bound to disagree, but that's just how I feel about it. If you're going to start coloring things, how can you say one color is allowed and tasteful, but another color is "toyish"?
 
Zombie stuff is kin to the guys coloring their plastic 22 cal AR-15's with crayons - why??? Not a fad that will go over well in a court...
 
For my own part, I find that ordinary guns work just fine on Zombies. :)

As to green, pink or other colors or fads, I suppose some people like that sort of thing. I am just not one of them.

I would like to remind everyone, in case you have forgotten, that the Honorable Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City, took certain companies to task for providing non-traditional finishes.

In 2006 His Honor wanted to outlaw the purchase and use of "gun colorization kits" and proposed a fine of $1,000.00. The Mayor said:

"Just think about how sick it is. What possible reason can you give to want to paint a gun so it looks like a child's toy gun, other than to put a police officer in one of those impossible positions? People will do a lot of twisted things to make a buck. This probably sets a new low and we are going to stop it."

If he is opposed to it, that is a good enough reason for us to support it. Therefore, get your Zombie Slayer or your pink Bloomberg special, and remember to "shoot safely and enjoy your sport."
 
Im about fed up with this politically correct BS we continue to be spoon fed like little children who cant think or care for themselves.

If a man or woman wants a pink, green, or purple pokedot firearm, they should have it! The 2nd amendment guarantees it, and I support that right of CHOICE we all have. Never law your choices away, keep as much and fight for as much freedom as you can before it's taken away.
 
I like zombie stuff. There I said it. I own the Remington r1 and vesa max done up in zombie reaper cammo. I love the walking dead and all zombie movies. Is it stupid? You bet. That's part of what I like. It's fun. Would I carry a zombie gun? No. First off if you defend yourself somebody is taking your gun as evidence. Think they care about your guns finish? You want holster wear on a zombie gun? Then the issue of gun owner example makers as we seen in the Zimmerman trial and why would you give the hoplophobes any ammo? Guns as toys? Never? What's pin matches turkey shoots trap ipsic idpa hunter clays bullseye skeet 3 gun COWBOY ACTION come on now. They are all games. I hear that there is zombie shoots all over. This prejudice is same old hunter vs black gun bolt vs auto wood vs plastic. We need to stick together promote safety and oppose the anti second amendment crowd every where, every time, always. They can't win if we won't loose.

It's not about color......blue, nickel, FED, pink..... or G__ forbid....... black......

1. I've been buying my 2 boys toy guns, to play with in the woods, for at least 12 years ( air soft for 2-3).......I don't want my guns or their real guns (they have been shooting for 4-5 years) to look like toys.. they are kids and no matter how well they are taught ...... Kids don't always think like us ( their brains not fully developed).... they can and do dumb things!!!

2. Lets not look like fools to those "people" ...... who already think we are the devil incarnate..........Zombies...... do not exist....... "we" have an ammo shortage .....lets not give them anything to use against us!!!!

3. We are for the most part "old farts" who have been handling/shooting guns for 30-50 years ( I'm at the 50 end of the scale)...... my kids and most kids have shot more rounds on video games than I have or ever will...I've taught them well........ but..they see things/guns first as part of a video game..... lets not confuse them anymore than they already are.................

4. Yes we have rights; to do things......... but let's not be stupid in the things we do..................................just because you can doesn't mean you should!!!

Let the Flaming begin..........

Back from taking the boys to soccer.....

A lot of people in this country do not like "people who have guns" because they don't know us..... and they have been fed a lot of BS about gun owners.......lets just be smart and not feed into their prejudices... about something they don't know much or anything about.......but are getting bad information about!


Just my 2 cents!

Lets be clear. I think that coloring up guns makes them look more like toy guns than black guns, or whatever the original color is. I most certainly am not advocating for more laws, laws stating what color your gun can be or penalties for coloring them.

I do think some good point have been made about the appearance of guns and how that applies to children and gun grabbers. If you take the approach that you have the right to do something without exercising wisdom and at times restraint, that's when other people cross the line from tolerating you to trying to take that right from you.

As with anything, what ever the government gives you it can take away. Right now in the majority of cities and states we have what we want as gun owners. Lets not make things hard on ourselves unnecessarily.

Also, I think this conversation has taken a turn for the serious more than it needs to.

I think you still have them going. :D
Hey we forgot to add the cammo version of firearms, to each their own my wife likes her Lilac LC9.

Besides when I was growing up toy guns looked and felt like real guns, I was taught the difference between the two, maybe we were smarter back then or maybe I had parents that paid attention to what I did and didn't let the electronic baby sitter watch us. Still remember killing a lot of evil Indians, Japs, and Nazi's, sorry for political correctness and entertained myself for hours on end outside.

All the zombie guns/accessories are for those looking to be bait. One guy is sitting quite concealed picking off zombies, the other is running around with neon-green beacons letting the zombies know exactly where the free meal is at. :p
 
I LIKE IT! Neon green is the color of toxic chemicals which is somehow indicative of what it takes to really kill a Zombie. ;) When they see the green markings they retreat in fear. :cool: When hit anywhere with a green tip bullet it instantly kills them dead dead! Eliminates the necessity for a head shot. :rolleyes: A really novel innovation if you ask me! :D
