Zombie Madness Infects SHOT Show

One cannot walk even a few feet across the SHOT show floor without encountering some sort of zombie-themed product - or, as I found out today, actual zombies. This zombie and his gorgeous blonde "handler" were stalking the floor, with the zombie receiving the lion's share of attention.

Gerber has a photo booth set up where one may have their photograph taken while in the act of killing a zombie. EOTech has a zombie holosight. Leupold has a zombie riflescope. Hornady has zombie ammo, and Ruger, among others, has zombie-themed firearms.

Many people I spoke to seemed quite tired of the zombie products, but the market as a whole apparently has not. What's next - a zombie-themed HK or Glock?
