For those of you who just happen to love guns (and maybe own a couple) and feel the need to hone your skills before the upcoming zombie apocalypse, you might want to check out this out. In short, some enterprising company is cashing in on the current zombie craze and of course, the rise of the infamous nazi zombie. Here’s what we got: Thanks to the folks at Zombie Ammo, gun range enthusiasts and policemen can now empty the skulls of the walking dead wearing Nazi uniforms, as we’ve been doing in Call of Duty: World At War for close to a year now. Zombie Ammo and their distributor Law Enforcement Targets have been selling the “Hans” and “Frans” zombie target to the Nazi-killing crowd for a few months … Read entire article »

More Info About the Zombie Combat Manual
I’ve received a lot of emails the other day about the upcoming Zombie Combat Manual, so I thought I’d do another post to share my findings. The book is based on the existing website, Zombie Combat Club and it is a fun read. There are a ton a instructional how-to articles on how to evade, and ultimately, take down the dead. Each example is well written with some great artwork drawn alongside of it. The website also goes into detailed weapon descriptions, including some videos, But hey, don’t take it, check it out. I’m guess the book will match the overall tone of the book. Here’s a cook snippet from the site: … Read entire article »

Zombie Booger Gun
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. … Read entire article »

Dead Rising 2 Offers Duct Tape for Weapon Combinations
Although I wasn’t a big fan of the original Dead Rising and the new one looks to be a non-starter for me, Capcom has developed a pretty unique weapon combination system that sounds intriguing. Good old fashioned duct tape. Add a few strips of tape to a paddle, then attach a chainsaw and voila! You have long distance killing device (although it would be hell on your arms). I’ve also seen screenshots of chainsaws jury rigged to motorcycles and who knows, maybe you can attach chainsaws to shoulder pads or maybe even tape a chainsaw onto a helmet. Chainsaws! Chainsaws! Chainsaws! Everyone wins a chainsaw! … Read entire article »

Zombie Bullets
Special thanks for Blaine for sending this one over. If you happen to own some handguns and you are looking for ammo, you might want to check out Zombie Bullets. This is an online dealership which sells, you guessed it, bullets. But these aren’t ordinary bullets. These are zombie bullets. For one thing, they are hollow pointed rounds, but the true magic behind these diddies, is the patented (maybe not, but certainly trademarked) ZombieGlow technology. What is ZombieGlow technology? I’m thinking that it just might be neon green paint on the end of the round. … Read entire article »

Zombie Survival Kits
In all the zombie attacks I’ve survived (and yes, I’ve survived many of them), the dead never really announce of themselves. Usually what happens is I’ll be working around the house, and then some corpse wanders into my living room looking for a snack. There’s a lot stumbling going on as I improvise different weapons until finally I manage to decapitate the devil’s spawn head with my wife’s laptop. Thankfully, a new company has been formed to deal with this such issue. Known simply as “In Case of Zombies”, this company sells glass cases that holds both firearms and twinkees. … Read entire article »

Weapons that Shouldn’t be Used in a Zombie Attack
When the zombies rise, there’s not going to be a lot of notice. Imagine yourself, working in your kitchen when the first zed steps into your house, looking for lunch. If you’re the type of person that keeps your gun next to your rolling pin, you’d be fine, but for the rest of us (aka 99.9999 percent of the population), we’re going to grab the first weapon we can find. Ten bucks says such a weapon will be less gun, and more cheese grater. Here are list of weapons that you must absolutely avoid. These will not hurt the zombies, but in point of fact, hurt you. Granted, these weapons don’t really exist, but it never hurts to vigilant. … Read entire article »

A Nail Gun for the Survivalist in Each of Us
Here’s the situation. You’re holed up in an old farm house surrounded by zombies. You need to board up the house, but there are too many zombies that need killing. In such a circumstance, you’d have to exterminate the zombies first, then board up the house second. Imagine doing them both at the same time? Introducing a real nail gun that is not messing around. … Read entire article »

Chainsaw Gun – Your One Stop Shop For Killing a Zombie Dead
Many thanks to Jamie for sending over this link. It’s an oldie but goodie direct from the “played too much Gears of War” department. Some resourceful fella decided that his plain old AR-14 just couldn’t get the job done, so he attached a friggin’ chainsaw to the end of it. There is a video embedded in the post that shows the inventor shooting pumpkin after pumpkin, before he charges in for the kill. I do like the idea of this gun and I must commend the inventor’s resourcefulness, but I think I’ll handle a vanilla AR-14 when the zombies come knocking at my door. As much as I love my chainsaw-through-skull action, I’d be the guy would either accidentally saw off his own hand or inadvertently decapitate … Read entire article »

Scoped Crossbow – Killing Zombies Old School
When the zombies take the streets, sometime you gotta kick back old school and put away the magnum, then pick up the crossbow. This little diddly looks to not only target zombies from a fair share away, but it looks to be able to pin those bad boys to the wall. Honestly outside of good old fashion zombie hunting, there really isn’t much use for this weapon. Sure, you can take it hunting but this looks to be too much firepower for a little rabbit. … Read entire article »

Zombie Armory – Guns, Guns, and More Guns
I just saw this posted on the A World on Fire’s Facebook discussion board posted by Joshua Menard. It’s pretty wild in the “I can’t believe they did that” sort of way. Before I continue any further, let me just say that I’m not big into guns. I’ve never liked the implication of them. When I was a college student in Boston, my friends and I got into an altercation with a drunk fifty year old dude who was trying to pick up one of my friends. He reached into his jacket what I thought was a gun, but before he could draw it, the bouncers were all over him. No horror movie could ever reproduce that kind of fear I felt and guns … Read entire article »

Zombie Tools – The Blacksmiths of the Post Apocalypse
When the zombie apocalypse does come, you’re going to need plenty of tools. Not just ordinary tools. But zombie tools. Thankfully, there is a site that is providing such tools early so there is plenty of time to stock up on them. So what tools might these be? Rope? Maybe a sleeping bag with mosquito repellent? Nope. Knives. More like machetes really. So who are these guys. From the FAQ: We are swordsmen and metalsmiths who create blades, and soon, other gear, that will increase your odds of surviving a zombie apocalypse. … Read entire article »
