Come on Pops lighten up. ;D
I think its genius marketing to sell ammo specifically engineered to kill critters with opposable thumbs to non-Law enforcement/Military entities and skirt the shit storm brought on by the liberals.
We’re all preparing for the future in our own way and I won’t begrudge the guy with Zombie bullets as long as he’s on my side.   :sniper2:

I'm with ya pops, they should have called it "77gr SopMod Mark19 Zulu 5" or something like that. Then everyone on AR15.com would have bought like 50 billion boxes.

I understand and appreciate the humor of the advertising, but I also see a litigation nightmare if this ammo was used in a self defense situation. I wouldn't want to face questions like:

Prosecutor: "So even though the manufacturer states that no human being, plant, animal, vegetable or mineral should be shot with this ammunition and it is for use on zombie's only, you decided to allegedly defend yourself with this ammunition. Is this correct?"

Stupid me: " Gulp, ahhh, yes."

Prosecutor: " The manufacturer further states that the word "zombies" is not a nickname, phrase or cute way of referring to anybody, place or thing. When we say Zombies, we mean…ZOMBIES." Are you telling us that the poor dead person shot by you is an actual zombie, the living dead?

Stupid me: "Uhmmm, I guess so."

Now if it is an total apocalyptic time with no law enforcement, layers or juries, I don't see the ammo as an issue and if it goes bang I'll shoot it. Up until then, I am very leery of using the Zombie Max line.

Just my off the wall and paranoid thinking.

  just in time for Halloween!  Marketing genius!  Just how many boxes do you suppose they'll sell on novelty alone?  Besides, I've been looking for the perfect Zombie blend for a while now, and there's Hornady, perfectly tailored Zombie shredding ammo at retailers while supplies last!
I DON'T RECALL READING ANYTHING IN 2A THAT EVEN SOMEWHAT RESEMBLES THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS FOR SPORTING OR HUNTING PURPOSES!  that's just a bonus!
