Conventional wisdom states that if a whole lot of zombies come shambling in your direction, you should take them out with a good old fashioned repeating rifle. Preferably one with a full automatic setting. Thankfully, living in an enlightened age, we have other options such as a booger gun.

Posted on zombie weapon site ZPrepared, the booger gun shoots out a boatload of sticky foam which could be used to not only knock over the offending zed, but also stick him to the ground. Believe it or not, this an actual device that makes people look like they got mother of all breast implants or spent the day at an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet.

The only downsides for such a weapon would be finding additional ammo. Also, it would kind of suck if a stickied zombie managed to get free then grab ahold of you. I’d feel pretty ridiculous before I died, knowing I’d be stickied to a zombie for the rest of eternity.

Good or bad, this is good old fashioned thinking out of the box that may save lives, but more importantly, save bullets ;)
