Zombie Zombies Everywhere…. SHOT SHOW Update

Last week we attended the 2012 SHOT Show and got to test out a lot of really cool gear and fire some really great guns at the range. Over the next couple of weeks we will highlight some of the best gear of 2012, but today we’re talking ZOMBIES…..

From zombie guns and ammo to zombie knives and killing tools, it seems that the zombie craze has taken over the industry. Here is a quick rundown of some of the Zombie gear set to hit the market in 2012.

Zombie Rifle with Chainsaw
Yes, that is a Chainsaw attached to a rifle that I’m holding.
DoubleStar is set to take this prototype into production with an expected launch date sometime this summer.

You can’t have a Zombie Gun without Zombie Ammo

And since it’s doubtful we will ever really see a Zombie Apocalypse you might need something to shoot at:

Zombie Shooting Range Targets
Zombie Industries Lifesize Bleeding Zombie Targets

But what about a backup weapon? Don’t worry; just about every knife company had some type of Zombie line.
Without a doubt the best and probably most practical line of knives (should the Zombie Apocalypse not happen) were made by Ka-Bar

KA-BAR Zombie Knives
Ka-Bar Zombie Line

While most of these Zombie Tools are completely impractical and I doubt they’ll be popular for very long, they were sure cool to play with. And some of them might even work in a real survival situation.

    • Nope…..think about it….its an AK 47 on a chainsaw….adding a chainsaw to an AK 47 would likely put one in violation of some obscure ATFE interpretation….. but if you add an AK47 to the chainsaw its like a Draco AK pistol or AR 15 pistol.

      Once you add the chainsaw to the AK it a chainsawed AK forever…. but if you build or buy the chainsaw FIRST and then add the AK you can always rever to the chainsaw….right??

  1. The other day you posted concern re: the military exercises that are going on in Los Angeles. With that in mind and what has happened with the National Defense Act, have you or anyone heard of an ultimatum given to the Catholic Bishops in the U.S. that they have a year to make a decision on abortion? I heard about it on a Catholic cable station and it caused me concern. It was never elaborated regarding specifics on the ultimatum. There was only comment: “pray for the Catholic Bishops that they can make a decision on the ultimatum on abortion given by Health, Education, and Welfare.”

    • I got the information today. Go to the website Archdiocese of Pittsburgh and look at the article titled “Go to Hell…” It will provide the information. From what I read all health insurance providers will have to include sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion inducing drugs to their coverage by 2013. All employers, including Catholic hospitals, social services, charity organizations, archdioceses, will have to subscribe to such providers. Before a person or organization that had issues with contraceptives, abortion, or sterilizaton could go with a health insurance that would not cover the above. There will be no choices after summer 2013.

  2. Hey as long as its in good fun, okay, don’t get too serious, however, if things go bad, then well…..you no, NEVER SURRENDER, NOT EVEN TO ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  3. Those are some scary lookin’ people. I agree with your comment. If I saw someone like that on my property after a major disaster, especially a biological one like in “Contagion”, well…. lets just say that Mr. Ka-Bar would be making a new friend.

  4. Just wanted to add more to the picture of a zombie and what they can do. I used to work on a psych unit. We had an incident where a patient went off during the dinner hr. I responded as per protocol to back up another unit with manpower. It took ten of us to get the guy, a small guy, under control in restraints and have a dr give him Valium in a vein. He already had thorazine and ativan “on board.” I watched him push two large women on top of his chest with his body once he was in restraints on all four limbs. Forgot to tell you, one of those patients left me disabled that’s why I’m not there anymore. As for the comment about Ka Bar, there was a story I received while attending a police course.A guy was shot eight times with a .38 by two police officers because he resisted arrest. He killed both ….with one of their weapons. As for the meth addicts, think about those on PCP who can break handcuffs and are oblivous to pain. Final thought: when people get really scared and can’t cope they hit the bottle or …try to get “high”. It’s when they try to find more there’s a problem for everybody.

    • I can’t remember the exact number but it’s like one in ten ppl in the U.S. are on antidepressants…it TSHTF and these ppl go off those meds hard then you will be fighting something that resembles zombies!!!!

  5. The old soldier is on target, the walking brain dead as i call them will be as close to zombies as i want to get. We are being conditioned by all these war flicks,zombie movies, survival shows,etc..now theres national geographics “doomsday preppers”..and survivalists dont seem so crazy now..ps- the canary in my mindshaft was belly up this morning..

  6. I think that chainsaw idea came from a video game, and this whole zombie thing, I doubt it very seriously, but I am more worried about the government then of a zombie apocalypse, but if one were to happen, I’d be prepared anyhow. but I wouldn’t mind having an AK-47 with a chainsaw on it, or an AR-15 for that matter.

    • i wonder if people realize that we live in the zombie apocalyptic times RIGHT NOW…. when poeple make hundreds upon thousands of decisions each day most of them unconscious without having any idea what they are contributing to with their actions or how other pay for their bliss and ignorance.. those are zombies right there folks

  7. The one thing a lot of people don’t know about PCP is it’s absorbed into fat cells which makes it last in your system a long time. People can have episodes up to 2 weeks later.
