Are you tired of shooting paper targets? Do you wish all your targets could bleed like $80 zombie targets after you shoot them with official zombie ammo? There is a poor man's solution called Pink Mist. It is a little pouch of reddish liquid that you tape to the back of your target. As you might suspect, when it gets hit it bleeds. That old adage goes "If it bleeds, we can kill it!"
::sigh:: I feel like you could accomplish the same thing with some Kool Aid or ketchup but I guess for $3 it is kind of a cool idea. The marketing video was a bit much and I'm willing to bet money that chick has never fired a gun.
This might be the ultimate zombie slaying device when the ammo runs out! It looks like a bad ass defensive spear of sorts, but it is really meant for clearing out windows and raking out the glass. Bonus points for the 'stache in the demo vid. Hat Tip: Kit Up
Kel-Tec RFB
KelTec has a nice .308 bull pup rifle called the RFB. With the mag in the rear, an 18 inch barrel translates to a 26 inch rifle. The RFB takes standard FAL mags and comes with all the tacti-cool rails you could ever desire. At $2130 (I'm guessing that is without any glass) it seems a bit steep for me. Hat Tip RomeoTangoBravo.
New Magpul Products
Magpul is releasing some new products in 2012. Most notable was a new set of Remington 870 furniture, (no love for Mossberg owners?) which looks pretty sporty. I also really like the new MOE fixed stock. I feel like it isn't over engineered, and a nice upgrade to the classic fixed stock. Additionally, there is a good amount of storage space in the stock. Hat Tip ITS and TTAG
EOTech Zombie Optic
Do you have too much money and are not quite sure how to spend it on tacti-cool accessories? Boy have I got an optic for you! Yes, it is exactly what it looks like; EOTech has a bio hazard reticle. Perfect for slaying zombies, or collecting dust in your safe this optic will show everyone on the range that you are an expert at PWNing n00bs! Hat Tip: Armory Blog
Modern Warfare 1887 T Series Shotgun
Speaking of slaying n00bs and zombies, the 1887 Shotgun was also at Shot Show. You may remember the over powered n00b stopper from MW2, this is a pistol gripped lever action shotgun. Depending on the model this beast holds about 5 + 2 (yea I never heard of the +2 either...) and is probably quite uncomfortable to shoot. I really don't know what the hell you would use the 1887 for, but I have to admit it does look kind of bad ass. Hat Tip: Guns.com
This ain't your grand pappy's E tool! This is the crovel, and it has put a spin on the old school folding miltary shovel. It has a CRAP TON of features that will be great for slaying zombies or simply digging a hole. Here is a list from the website:
THE HANDLE:The Crovel Extreme boasts a 14 inch hollow steel handle that allows storage of key survival items such as: a fire stick, fishing hooks and line, water purification tablets, snare wire, flashlight, knife (fillers/accessories not included), while maintaining its heavy duty handle integrity. The handle is plugged at the end out with an aluminum-threaded plug.
THE HAMMERHEAD:The Crovel Extreme's hammerhead has also been upgraded to give a wider surface to the head allowing for easier use.
THE CLAW:The Crovel Extreme's crowbar claw has been upgraded include a woodworking chisel as well as a pry.
Pending-PATENT PENDING: Its unique patent pending design combines the functions of over 13 tools into one indispensable tool that can handle a multitude of tasks.
THE QUALITY OF MADE IN THE USA: The shovel head boasts a 10 gage hardened steel with a grade “A” washer and a custom steel collar with an oversized thread pattern assuring a strong no slip locking position. The forged steel hammer head adds to the list of survival tools that the user can use in the field.
THE EDGE:The strength and sharpness of the shovel edge gives you the ultimate cutting, chopping, sawing surface that will keep its edge even if you lose yours.
EXTRAS:550 paracord is wrapped on the hand to add grip strength and to give you 15 ft.. of life saving material that can be use in thousands of different ways.
Introducing “CROVEL Extreme”,the "The Ultimate Survival Tool" and NEW MUST HAVE Multi-Tool.
ALL-IN-ONE:Like its predecessor The Crovel Shovel, The Crovel EXTREME eliminates the need for several tools- eliminating extra weight and increasing versatility.
They put together a pretty sweet commercial too:
The hollow handle is pretty sweet and can be stuffed with bacon survival supplies. The 550 wrap on the shaft is a nice touch as is the bottle opener. One could assume that if you are using this to fight zombies you are probably sipping that delicious Natty Ice from a can and thus not need the opener...
Speaking of slaying the flesh eaters, they Crovel has a skull cracking spike option that attaches to the bottom. So sharpen up that blade and attach the spike and get some zombies! For the paltry sum of $109 this beast can be yours (the Z-spike will set you back an additional $24.50); all available from GearUpCenter.com.
Still not sure if this beats the epic Chinese shovel or perhaps the budget $30 cold steel SF shovel. If you haven't seen it, here is the Chinese shovel vid:
Zombies have hit the main stream and it is unfortunate. Hornady has crafted an expensive marketing campaign a new type of ammunition just for zombies. I wish this was a joke, but the truth is you can own a box of ammo specialized for the undead. Visit Hornady's website for the complete details but here are the basics:
ZOMG! A new device to slay zombies! Well, I suppose it isn't entirely new, rather it is a take on a Russian Spetznaz shovel. In Soviet Russia the garden shovels YOU!!!!1 This new take on an old spade has a sharped edge, a hardwood handle, carbon steel head, and tacti-cool nylon belt pouch.
With this SF shovel you'll be able to spend a long time digging a small hole attack zombies in a variety of amazing Russian techniques! Watch the video below, and see this SF shovel being thrown it at distances of upwards of 6 feet! WHAT!?!? It will smash frozen and wooden zombies too! That's not all, it can also cut thick rope!
For about $30 you can own this epic one size fits all zombie slaying machine. If only it came with a bad ass drop down quickly release leg holster...
