Everyone is preparing for when the Zombies rise up and attack, and now Hornady has produced ammunition that is specifically designed for the Zombie Apocalypse.

The ammo is called Zombie-Max because it is loaded with Hornady’s Z-Max bullet that was created to put the dead to rest for good.

Zombie-Max ammunition is available in a variety of zombie-dropping calibers such as 9 mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .223 Rem., 7.62x39 mm, .308 Win. and 12-gauge 00 Z-shot. Zombie-Max is the only ammunition available that is specifically made for taking out zombies and only zombies. Hornady notes that Zombie-Max is not a toy and should never be used on any plant, animal, vegetation or mineral that isn’t a zombie. 

Make sure a few boxes are in your bug-out bag, and be sure learn more at Hornady.com.

    If Hornady took their business a bit more seriously, perhaps it wouldn't be necessary to mark it as 'Not A Toy'. If you don't it assumed to be a joke quit making it look like one.

    Hornady ZMAX is the same as TAP AMAX with a green polymer tip as opposed to a red one. It's the same brass,primer with a clever marketing scheme. As Hornady is one of the last companies that doesn't try and rob the end users for every dime I say props to them. It shoots well, and very clean as most Hornady does, and they back up their product. Let's call it civilian TAP, as that is what it is.

    Hilarious marketing campaign! And good ammo, too. You can practice on burglars. Probably gives liberals fits of apoplexy, which makes it worth the purchase price on that basis alone.

    I just picked up 12 boxes of .40 S&W Z-Max at a local gun show for $12.95 a box. I carry Hornady Critical Defense, but seeing how this is essentially the same thing I think got a steal! This stuff isn't nickel plated like the Critical Defense, but it still looks cool in my bob. ;-[)]

    This ammo is exactly the same as Hornady's Critical Defense for handgun, and TAP for rifle except a green tip, and toung in cheek marketing on the box.

    Hey Brian, Here is how it works: You don't like, don't buy. I doubt Hornady will miss your business.

    Hornady Zombie Max & Hornady Critical Defense ammunition are the same round except one tip is green and the other tip is red. However Zombie Max is $3.00 cheaper per box and the box looks pretty cool. Who doesn't love good marketing.

    Cool idea....what a sales promo from a great bullet manufacturer. Only thing is that if it was used for itensions, not a single round would ever get fired. Dissatisfied with fact its not even rated for small game. At 20 bucks a box, thats a little pricey for paper punching. However if the day does come to need it, it will be on my shelf. Hopefully collecting collector value instead of dust.

    why not... I'll be buying a few boxes for my zombie gun just for novelty. Like my box of Roosevelt's rough Rider edition 30-30 win. In the silver box. That was pretty cool and the box was unique too. I wonder how long they'll sell this stuff for.

    Shot several zombies with excellent results. Works far better than critical defense or dpx. Double tap not required!

    I am big fan of hornady thats what I carry for all my weapons. But the zombie ammo is funny when I when seen it in the in stores. Zombie attack yeah right. We have a better chance of being invade by E.T and his crew which I will gladly greet with .223 to the.head

    I think it's a great idea from a marketing standpoint but I feel sorry for the first guy that shoots a intruder with this round the da will have a field day on top of the civil lawsuits to follow

    Hornady ammo rocks and i'm definately getting some of this. But cor-bon dpx is hands down the best. If they aint dead already they soon will be.
