Look, I get it. Crazy people are tripping on dangerous substances and eating other unfortunates. People in Jersey are cutting themselves open and throwing their internal organs at cops. It’s gross, it’s creepy, it’s scary, but stocking up on neon green bullets is a really bad idea.

Oh, there are zombie bullets now available, all right. They’re called “ZMax”. Here’s a promo video:

Tongue is obviously firmly in cheek, and this is mostly a tribute to the owner of Hornady’s love of bad zombie movies. Still, it’s a bad idea.

Why? For two reasons: one, honestly, it’s really only a matter of time before some fool that makes all the guys down at the range cringe with his stupidity mistakes a homeless dude with a hangover moaning down the street for a zombie and kills him. That will be a tragedy, and it’s pretty much inevitable. Although admittedly, with that guy, and if you shoot guns, you know this guy, will probably use something ridiculous like a Desert Eagle to do it.

Secondly, it might introduce hipsters to firearms. And armed hipsters are the last thing we need.
