Zombie Protection

Somewhere in Arkansas, hiding from the Undead…

Several months back I was at a popular Sporting Goods Outlet  just over the Arkansas line in Texarkana, Texas.  I Spotted a really businesslike Mossberg 500 pump with an extended magazine – black, with black composite stock and forend.

Mossberg Model 500 ZMB

I asked the sales guy if I could look at it, he handed it over. I cleared it, then racked the slide a couple of times and wondered out loud why I’ve been avoiding Mossberg all my life.  This little gun is sweet.

 

I asked about the funky neon green ZMB logo on the receiver and he told me that was a Zombie symbol. 

Love my Zombie Slayer

So apparently (the story goes)  those fun-loving folks at Mossberg introduced (mid January 2012) their ZMB line – two scatterguns and a a model 464 lever gun in .30-.30 (along with an outfit  called Zombie Industries http://zombieindustries.com/  ). Way cool.  They really know how to liven up a party.

Making a longish story shorter, the Model 500 with the long mag  jumped right into my car whereupon I legally transported it across state lines. Right back home.

At about that period in time I stumbled on that crazy “Walking Dead” show on AMC.  Wow, bizarre! How could I have missed seeing that show for two years?

So, not being the type of person who has the sense to let well enough alone, I decided to hang some gear on my new Mossberg ZMB 500...

Ultimate Tactical Conversion Kit

The new furniture is Ultimate Arms Gear (composite which I guess means plastic), with a very comfortable pistol grip and a tri-rail picatinny forend. I put a 7 or 8 inch picatinny on top of the receiver, and added a very nice little holographic sight.  Don’t remember where I got either of those, or who the manufacturer is.

On the forend picatinny I mounted another pistol grip, also Ultimate Arms Gear, then added one of those neat high powered tactical flashlights with a pressure switch for the grip.

UTAC 45 Degree Offset Picatinny/Weaver - Angle Mount Rail 

 

Just ahead of the Holo sight on the receiver I put a 45 degree angle (left side) extension where I mounted a laser. The laser pressure switch can mount anywhere on the stock's pistol grip. 

We The People's Z-Gun

 Note that I also mounted a pair of 3-round shotgun shell holders on the  front of the stock, in case the one in chamber and seven in the extended mag don’t deter some pesky persnickety persistent undead. Here's one more picture.

As I mentioned, the totally great thing about this rig is that Mossberg marketed it as a "Zombie Gun" so it has the neatest little day glow neon green Zombie Killer (ZMB)symbol on the receiver.

I recognize that tricking up a weapon to frag the undead is totally strange, but it's been so damned much fun that I had to spread the joy.

Remember, the Zombies are coming. (hehehe)

Here's a copy of the email I just sent to Arkansas 4th District Congressional Representative Tom Cotton.
Forgive please the line about bombing Israel -- it was intended as obvious sarcasm and should under no circumstances be taken as a literal suggestion.


Sir:

With all the difficulties currently facing the USA, does it seem
logical to send 20 F-16s and 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks to Egypt.

It would make as much sense for the USA to attack Israel directly --
and cut out the middle man.

Where do you stand on this madness? Is there any way to stop it?

Thanks -- and Thank you for your service to America!

When I thanked Tom 'for his service to America', I was of course alluding to his service with the United States Army. Cotton served two tours in Afghanistan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cotton

Remember folks: Freedom is Not Free! Folks like Tom Cotton raised their right arm and swore to protect and defend. Each and every one of us owes a debt of gratitude to the American Military and to the men and women who have fought and died so that we may be Free! Thank a service person today.

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
