There’s plenty of preppers still out there. They’re just keeping a tight lip so that way they don’t have all of their “friends” clamoring for their shit when SHTF.
Which is how it should be. I just appreciated it being main streamed and rated for fails. >chub chick in houston walking her way out of the city with a backpack full of "trade" rubbers
Based. I’ll never get tired of zombie culture and movies. They always slap even if they’re trash. Hell back in 2010’s people straight up argued with a straight face that there was a good chance of it happening. Good times.
Lmao i remember watching dawn of the dead with my friend at his place after we went to the range and he was convinced a zombie apocalypse was going to happen. I remember him saying with a straight face "i dont know man i got a feeling one of these new diseases...." god i miss the zombie era

3 good zombie movies? I have a lazy Sunday to kill. With bullets.
Lot more relaxed than the current "I'm going my to personally kill every ATF agent" theme people are going for these days. Like I hate feds too but it's come at the cost of an overall more relaxed gun owning crowd. Back then nobody tore their hair out at buying Mosins or revolvers (granted they were much cheaper but even if they were the same price I bet people would still kvetch about not buying an AR). Honestly I miss it, entirely because I missed out on the biohazard EoTechs
In the beginning 100% zombies meant hordes of Black folk on a lot of drugs. Bath salts Black folk. Toward the end of the trend this got lost and most people were just thinking "hur hur what if zombies tho".
Yep.
Unfortunately, this knowledge had left the community before 2019 meaning there was no "Zombie" preparedness during 2020; nit that it matters when the local government is on the side of the zombies.
The best part of Z-Max was how sticky it was on shelves and the resultant discounts on what was just Critical Defense loads with green instead of red plastic since people didn't want to buy the "silly joke" ammo.
I miss it too. My parents got me a 10/22 with several bx-25s, one of those zombie green united cutlery tomahawks, and the zombie survival guide. This was Christmas 2012. It was so nice bros. That tomahawk is still tucked in my closet somewhere with a billion budk catalogs
Still have a box left. I can't imagine how something like that would go over today. I can already hear the r*ddit diaspora and instagays screeching: >le NOOOOO le guns are le SRS BSNS you can't just have fun it's le cringe (that means I'm downvoting you!)
I think the real catch would be the fact that the presence of blood was a major theme of the packaging design for the zombie products. I dont think most ammo companies would have the courage to do that on ammo boxes these days because of "implications".
Back before december of 2012 there were really only 4 significant mass shootings in American history at that point (Columbine, Virginia Tech, Fort Hood, and Aurora). National mindset is completely different now. The feds have really been working overtime grooming mentally ill people since 2012 and everyone is more twitchy about everything now due to the high amount of mass shootings in the last decade.
It was just their self defense rounds put into a different box and cheaper. It was fricking magical if you could deal with having to pull the box out at the range,
How has that shoe remained on air all this time, do old boomers with tv access just not have anything else to watch?
It was at least fun and unserious. Being serious about larping about being a light infantry trooper is fricking dreadful. The shit those morons say beggars belief and its 1000 times worse for being said seriously.
Arguing about it a gun or melee weapon is better for zombies is dumb, but at least it isn't going to get anyone killed. /arg/ and /gq/ thinking that 15 homosexuals with ARs is an infantry squad is catastrophic detachment from reality.
It was such a good time, everyone on here were just coming up with the most anime-esque scenarios on how they would handle the zombie apocalypse complete with becoming fictional warlords, forming zombie extermination groups, and my favorite, the over prevalent fantasy of being a hyper lethal lone wolf would would be super mysterious, and deadly.
>How has that shoe remained on air all this time, do old boomers with tv access just not have anything else to watch?
It was the original, mildly less-successful version of Game of Thrones in its heyday. But unlike GoT Walking Dead never ended, because it stopped being based on the comics about a year in.
>and my favorite, the over prevalent fantasy of being a hyper lethal lone wolf would would be super mysterious, and deadly.
Kek, was totally me and all my friends.
In addition to talking about cleaning out the arms lockers on the coast guard tender my buddy had keys for.
>ukraine war
What the hell are you talking about, boy?!
Do you not know the very serious threat posed by Orks coming up from the Underdark?!
They have whole tribes in the caves along Appalachia!
The most effective round is the Winchester PDX 1 fragmenting slug, but the lower capacity of a shotgun is sometimes a problem.

That is roughly a squad but only if they have the infantry skills to back that up and they all have the will to use it.
I'd stall rather it stop so that we can focus on important shit like defeating vampires, werewolves, zombies, orks and cryptids.
There is no reason to freak out for a so called "Zombie Apocalypse".
If a crisis happens locally, do the following
1) Send more paramedics
2) Send more cops
That's it. It's all you need to know.
it was a theme for a more civilized age.
zombie preparedness culture > operator/gray man/sheepdog culture
Literally made for terminal performance on soft targets, more deadly that Black Talons (cop killer).
Suitable for framing, tax funded, retro PSA from the CDC, pic rel
I also mis Doomsday Preppers. Gov doesn't want you prepared anymore, you would be less dependent upon subsidies and gibs.
There’s plenty of preppers still out there. They’re just keeping a tight lip so that way they don’t have all of their “friends” clamoring for their shit when SHTF.

I would take edgy, neon green paracord-wrapped hatchets over generic sheepdog operator man any day.

Day of The Dead.
Night of The Living Dead
28 Days Later
ty
Also if you want gory, and campy I highly recommend Return of the Living Dead
Just play l4d2

I miss the comfy zombie survival threads
Same.
I got 500 of those exact projectiles from midway when they closed out the product line, 185 grains. Shoulda bought more.
Zombies were code for Black folk right?
Yes, of course
Gun owners were too moronic to take the hint and that's why this stuff got discontinued
no, people just are just racist.

Take a tactical stroll down Kensington Ave in Philly near midnight and you literally won’t tell the difference
zombie-shit was just a psyop to mentally prepare the population to kill each other.
Preparing the good to go zombie hunting which is amply justified is good not bad.

>This was Christmas 2012
Yes it was. Holloween '12 was riff with zombie grrls.
Absurdly based. Hope you still have all 3 king.
Damn right I do. My son will learn on that rifle
Still have a box left. I can't imagine how something like that would go over today. I can already hear the r*ddit diaspora and instagays screeching:

The rounds are hand loaded into my self defense 556 loads. They're in my bedside rifle right now.
Am I based?
Extremely.
All joking aside the zombie max ammo was excellent stuff in every test I've seen of it.
It was just their self defense rounds put into a different box and cheaper. It was fricking magical if you could deal with having to pull the box out at the range,
They should make it again, there are some interest in the zombie genre again thanks to covid, in spite of how much Walking Dead sucks right now.
Or maybe they'll be Certified Orc Ammunition this time.

Nobody cares about the ukraine war except for liberals and they don’t buy guns/ammo.

yeah it was moronic and so are you.
Shutcho cracka ass up.
I've got a box of this shit in .45 ACP that I never used. Is it collectible now?
The still sell Z-max ammo here in Australia.
Didn't they just ban zombie knives?
The best part was the Hornady Z-Max was literally just a differently colored V-Max but CHEAPER.
Rose tinted glasses wearing mother frickers
This shitbwas "moronic" and "so gay" back then. You're just nostalgic for the past.
I need to find some more. I also need to find a better storage solution. One day that shit will be graded like damn comic books
It was a more innocent time
There is no reason to freak out for a so called "Zombie Apocalypse".
If a crisis happens locally, do the following
1) Send more paramedics
2) Send more cops
That's it. It's all you need to know.
but what happens when the cops mistake you and your family dog for zombies? what happens when they see 50% of the city "reaching for a gun"?
Send more friend
trust me
Uhm
