Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

During the Zombie Apocalypse, how many times can you get away with, “oops I thought he was a Zombie” excuse? There are a lot of people I don’t want to share a mall roof with.

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

I don't like Zombie movies a lot, and I don't watch <span style="font-style: italic">Walking Dead</span>. No animosity, it just doesn't float my boat.

Early this past Summer, my Granddaughter (16 a week from today) saw some Zombie Targets it Wal-Mart and asked me to buy some.

Since then, we've had a bunch of great afternoons together shooting Zombies, and she's even started competing in our club's FV250 matchse.

I fully expect I'll never see or get to shoot at a Zombie in the flesh. As far as I'm concerned, the words 'Zombie' and 'real' do not belong in the same sentence; but I throw no stones at those who promote the concept or employ it to enhance interest in the shooting sports.

By the same token, I'll probably never shoot a .50BMG; but when somebody suggests there's no need for civilians to own them, my hackles rise.

If we do not all hang together, we shall all surely hang separately...

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

Very well said strat81!

While I do watch the walking dead, and enjoy most horror movies, I know they are not real. Fun to think about? Sure... but real, no.

I do get a little sad seeing zombie guns and ammo, but if it helps pour money into our sport, then so be it.

If it means even 1 or 2 more people going out to a shooting match, then that is wonderful.

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

If you use the word zombie it is not considered hate speech, if you are preparing for zombies, you are not a shoot them all from a texas tower gun nut....if you are preparing for zombies nobody cares that you reload for nineteen obsolete calibers and have 20,000 rounds of modern ammo in the closet...

If you like zombie movies you are a nerd and not some guy who risked his life for his country and now has PTSD and is on some national watch list as a potential terrorist...

Please Jesus send in the zombies and save us from the liberal media..

I think it was funny at first but now I see new people getting into firearms and they SERIOUSLY believe that zombies will attack them in hoards and they need every tactical looking POS add-on they can bolt to their rifle.

Now don't get me wrong, I have many range toys that are a ton of fun to shoot, but I don't see "zombies" on the way any time soon.

Economical break down, massive social riots, and hordes of UN-employed thief's and criminals looking for trouble? Now that is a senerio I would believe could be in our future, long before infected that want to eat my brains.

And maybe I'm totally off base here. If this is what it takes to get more interested in the shooting sports, so be it.

Flame away I got my NOMEX on. </div></div>

Look at it this way, if the SHTF, there will be all these really nice toys laying all around for us.

Frank Zappa nailed it. "We're Only In It For The Money." Which business is about...bottom line. So anything that will meke an extra $ is ok. And thats ok with me as long as its a good product at a fair price. They can put any name on it they want.

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

A funny:

To set this up, I just had a zombie seminar, about how to pack and use common items for emergencies but anyway, I have a zombie hunter patch and every once in awhile I wear the patch on my cool guy hat. Sometimes I wear a tattered and faded BDU shirt, they are comfy. My eldest son and I wanted to get some fried chicken so we stopped for a late lunch. At the counter was, I have to be stereotypical now, teenager, tall and thin, pimple pot marked face, took our order. He said, I like your hat. I had no idea what he was referring to but my son who is very witty, said yea, he did a zombie clinic today. The kids eyes popped out, said where and asked some questions. He got real excited. My son, this is Doc Savage a real life zombie sleuth. The kid was pinging now off the walls. My son said, last month the Doc was down is Belize where they had a chemical plant spill. Reports of a virus and zombie like encounters. Got real bad but its taken care of now. I was about to laugh but realized the kid was serious. My son stood there for a few minutes talking as I waited for our chicken.

I see the kid in the back pointing at us. Boy, what did you say to him?

I was finished and went up to get a refill. In the back was a few more, OK I have to stereotype here, young thin pimple faced kids and one elder young man. They were talking the merits and killing effects of 556 and 223 Vs various others. The first kids says, when you go after zombies, what do you like to kill and separate the head. OK, I can be witty at times, with a straight face, a snarg and walked off. My son saw him pull out his cell phone, I can only imagine that he was googling snarg.

On a serious note, the word is marketable and being this is a capitalist economy, run with it. This country needs retail sales to go up. This will hire more people, they can buy food, gas and keep the roof over their family, and pay taxes, the company pays more taxes, invests more, grows more, hires more. I for one cannot understand why anyone would discourage something like this that benefits our economy. Who cares if there are citizens running around with green painted zombie stickered guns, binos, scopes, ammo, etc, I see this as a good thing. I am not a snob for others fun time and marketing plans.

If you are tired of it all, you only have yourself to blame. May I recommend at least one serving a day of Cris Costa brand all black ZOMBIE shaped TACTICAL pasta.. cooked and served with olive oil and garlic.

Helps keep you in the mood.

On a more serious note, my wife does the facebook thing and reads about all the threats of riots and blood in the streets if a certain party does not get there way this election. Hope it is just a bluff. One that gets called. </div></div>

Trying to stay within the confines of the political talk policy, but if either one of the big two get elected we will be Greece or Spain before you know it. When we fall off that cliff (notice i said when not if) its gonna hurt. I don't think we will quite get to the massive apocalypse/civil war the marketing teams hope we do, but it will get ugly when all the "free" stuff goes away and China comes knocking for their money.

Was not out to turn this political. A few on this forum have pointed out that ZOMBIE is just a likely euphemism for people used to a hand out and not willing to earn there keep. Anyhow I threw in the facebook riot threats only as a plausible real life version of zombie apocalypse/ zombie civil war. I hope it is just a hot air bluff and one I would like to see called.
This does not mean I think party A will solve all our problems over party B.

I had to google Red Jacket to know what your talking about..Dude, with that Rifle and just doing what ever Chris says!... hell, training is just not needed! YOU are golden!

Serious though.. anyone bought Chris Costa's first operation z training vid? ..... OK, so no one wants to admit it. Does anyone on this forum <span style="text-decoration: underline">know</span> a guy who knows a guy who has one? I figure I'll spend the $15.00 to buy a copy for my son this Christmas as he does like zombie games for the moment.
I know the zombie stuff irritates the hell out of some. But I figured if it demonstrated good weapon skills in an entertaining way what is the harm? </div></div>

He makes good videos, but it feels like to me he is more about looking cool and making lots of holes. But as far as the training and stuff its all pretty good, its worth 15 bucks I enjoyed Art of the Precision Rifle quite a bit.

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

I never really got it. I think the whole zombie craze is a politically correct way of referring to a fear of socio-political system failure.

The founding fathers obviously felt that themselves in their time, and I believe they established the 2nd ammendment as a check and balance against tyrannical dictatorship.

So zombie for conservatives would seem to be a reference to potential societal fracture in the same way progressive is a way that liberals like to refer to socialism without saying socialism.

That or there's a really huge crowd of zombie movie fans. I liked zombie-land as much as the next guy, but I didn't see it as a way of life so much as a funny movie.

That's my take on it.

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

I know why some of you guys think that 'zombie' is a code-word for a G-man or a social parasite but in my mind a zombie is just that, a zombie. Just a 'zombie'. I think a lot of people secretly crave a return to simpler times, times which a zombie or similar type apocalypse would bring on us. Look at our collective fascination with the old west and zombie type movies. Zombies are also the perfect targets...zero repercussions.

Re: Who has had enough of this Zombie Crap?

Few weeks ago at the gun show there was a guy walking around in full tactical gear. Head to tow, looking like hes about ready to be thrown into a war zone. Looking up close, it was all zombie patches and shit.I was blown away at this guys dedication. Then at the grocery store, the 35 year old bagger/car delivery guy sees a box of shotgun shells in my truck and asks me if I was into guns (??????) then he has to go on to tell me...says he has to huury off of work to go by and get his AR lower from the ingraving shop. Said he had to get his local zombie killing crews logo put on it. These kindof people are real and owning guns. I say that I think that every goo citizen needs a gun but now I think the list might need slight trimming.
