Hornady Premium Survival Ammo - Time Critical

[Crimson]

Does somebody no something I don't brownells sent email telling me to prepare for zombies. The sattelite that fell from space landed in some lake in Ohio and is making anyone who drank the water sick. Now hornady is doing this, either its a nationwide marketing campaign or they know something I don't.

I think it's hilarious, and they'll sell a ton of it (not to me though).

 

[jimdana1942]

I don't get it. Means nothing to me.

+1

I'm almost tempted to buy a few boxes to sell later, though.

Soft, rotted skin + rapid expansion and fragmentation = bloody mess.

They actually give ballistic info on this stuff?

Problem is, you can blow off arms and legs and most of the ribcage and they'll just keep coming. Hence the groundlings in Black Ops. CNS shots or belt fed machine guns are the only true options.

I'm buying a full combat load's worth and keeping in my bob, just in case!

of course, it really depends on what Kind of zombies are coming, I guess. There are the ones infected with a rage virus, fast movers, Very Dangerous, but ultimately can bleed out with a center mass shot. This ammo would probably be pretty good for that: ie low recoil, accurate.
There's also the true walking dead, dead flesh reanimated by the supernatural urge to eat brains. only way to stop them is head shot or total body mutilation. This ammo would also be easy to use for headshots.

I think hornady is threading the needle, Either kind of zombie can be engaged effectively!

I've got to read up on this stuff. Can you become infected by airborne blood products? If so, then you need to engage at range right? Maybe look towards the rifle Z-Max offerings? If you need to resort to defending at pistol ranges then it is too late (unless you have an TSD approved RMR red dot and can hit at a thousand yards with your 9mm)?

Im amazed how much you people know about zombies... I've never even seen one to test these theories. It makes me want to go on a african safari so I can kill one of these exotic creatures for my self.

You'd have better luck at a OWS rally.

 

[DAUC]

So are you really not supposed to use this as self defense ammo against living humans?

 

[Phoenix 6.0]

might not look good in court if you used zombie ammo on the living

Given the recent reports of Hornady's lousy quality control, maybe... or maybe not.

Reports from whom? Internet Zombies? The Undead come in all forms and have forum accounts too you know.

Some people are Unbelievably Uninformed about the Undead.

+1.
They are on college campus, in the DMV, OWS protesters, at DNC campaign rallies, on Internet forums and even in our own White House.

Holy ****, Z day is already here!

 

[LACamper]

I can see these flying off the shelves at gunshows...

 

[Carpcodl]

When is this stuff supposed to hit shelves? It would be pretty weird to call academy and ask if they have any Zombie ammunition!

Some lawyer will certainly find that disclaimer and try to make a stand.

 

[LACamper]

So Hornady is cleaning out their QC rejects and making profit? And putting a warning on the box that keeps people from complaining (so you weren't shooting at Zombies therefore the warranty is void...read the box...). Sounds like good business sense to me.
I'd be tempted to pick up a box just for the box! It might be fun to just leave on the counter as a conversation starter and to watch the neighbors freak when they come over.

 

[dos gris]

OTOH, I think it irresponsible of a semi-major ammunition maker to come out with a goofy, non-professional product/ad campaign... when antis are looking for ANYTHING of that nature to seize upon and denigrate the industry and its end-users.

.

I get your point, but that sort of leads to letting the anti's be in the driver's seat.

Could be that Hornady is just having some fun- that alone is enough to send the libs into high dungeon. Influencing gullible kids and all that.
