who would buy zombie killer bullets.

real live ammo marketed as "zombie killers". this isnt a joke,its real ammo. available im several sizes. I dont have a problem with guns and shooting sports but guns arent jokes. this just seems to be a bad idea in so many ways

1) Too loud. The report is just going to attract more of the undeads. See walking dead graphic novel.

2) 1 shot one kill is better. Hitting the extremities does nothing when all that is needed is a head shot. Such a waste of ammo. Nothing more than a sales pitch to sell more when less is needed.

3) Why would zombies be walking around a junk yard? It's hard enough walking around a junk yard for the livings.

4) Exploding shells missing from product line.

5) Zombies hate posers.

Unless one bullet can 'splode the extremities or head of a zombie with one shot, any old bullet will do.

My Zombielocalypse preparation has not included guns as of yet.

I did acquire:
Iron Chain links for scuba diving with sharks (looking for better options on armor though)
Swords! (Kukris, Katanas, Dais, Scimitars)

I don't know how to use guns or have a license for one yet. I've been meaning to, but just haven't had the time to bother.
Been training on my cardio though and just joined a climbing gym to improve on parkour.

I mean seriously, I intend to run faster than the guys next to me. Guns are loud, so it would attract too much attention. Unless, I'm on top of a building or a tree sniping, I'd rather ninja those damn things.

Lots of stuff for killing zombies, or at least surviving their eventual undead rampage.

Not fast enough to make it worth selling, though he did give a sweat chain mail neck piece (nobody ever thinks to protect their necks when the armor up). You may want to check out renaissance fairs and online ren-fair stores.
