The Best "Zombie Apocalypse" Gear from SHOT Show

Should a Zombie Apocalypse ever actually strike, you're going to want to be armed... and the new, undisputed king of the zombie slaying hill has to be the ACE Ltd. DoubleStar Zombie Slayer AK.

Part rifle, part chainsaw, the Zombie Slayer couldn't have a more appropriate name, and it was one of the most entertaining finds of SHOT Show 2012.

With this thing in hand, the odds are your brains are safe.

Okay, so the Zombie Slayer AK may be too much for some folks to handle. Or maybe you're just a traditionalist. Either way, the Chiappa Zombie Blaster is a great alternative.

A lever-action 12-gauge straight out of the movies, the Zombie Blaster is a sight to see. Make sure you hold on tight when you put it into action, though.

Though modern media makes melee seem like a reasonable option, it's probably a better practice to take out zombies before they get into biting range. Thus, the Leupold VX-R Zombie Riflescope was born.

The VX-R offers all of the amenities of Leupold's latest designs and should serve all zombie-snipers well.

A Zombie Apocalypse is no reason to lose your due diligence when it comes to gun maintenance—if anything, it's an excuse to clean them a little more often.

To make the Zombie-slayer's life easier, Otis has released a new Zombie Cleaning System, which comes complete with the standard Otis quality package... and zombies.

Okay, so you've got your gun and your scope and you're pleding to keep them in fighting shape... but are you really ready yet?

Lyman's TARG-DOT Zombie targets provide a great opportunity to put your new Zombie gear to the test. A gun (even one with a chainsaw on it...) is only as good as its handler, so you'll want to take these to the range.

If you think you've mastered the paper target, you might be ready to take on something a little bigger.

The Bleeding Zombie Target (from aptly named Zombie Industries) provides a very-Zombified torso for aspiring heroes to take to the range.

Last, but not least, we come to DuraCoat's "Zombie Coat" line of firearms finish... because lets face it, you're not going to become a world-renowned Zombie-slayer unless your firearm-of-choice has some personal flair.

Zombie Coat comes in a variety of appropriately named colors, from "Biohazard Yellow," right on down to "Rotting Flesh."
