Special ammunition optimised for fighting zombies is selling like hot cakes in the USA, according to reports, following sensational media coverage of incidents involving flesh-eating and similar undead-esque behaviour.
In particular, fears of an imminent zombie plague were stoked by the recent case of Rudy Eugene. The 31-year-old was shot dead by police officers in Miami last month while chewing on another man’s face — presumably in an attempt to get at his brain. Other vaguely similar incidents have been dredged up and conflated with this by various media outlets to produce a tenuous undead-apocalypse theme.
All this has apparently been extremely fortunate for US ammo maker Hornady, which last October brought out its Zombie Max
line of cartridges (make dead permanent
). We hear courtesy of WWJ Detroit that Zombie Max rounds are flying off the gun-shop shelves — via redwolf.newsvine.com
