Detroit to be hit by flesh and brain-eating zombie apocalypse (but only if live-action terror theme park plan is pushed through)

Derelict areas of Detroit face being taken over by hordes of 'flesh and brain-eating zombies' if an ambitious business plan takes off.
Entrepreneur Mark Siwak wants to create live-action terror theme park 'Z World' on Motor City's run-down and abandoned streets.
Customers would pay to be chased by professional actors and try to seek shelter in ghostly homes, factories and businesses.

Take over time: Zombies could roam the streets of Detroit if a theme park is built in the city
Abandoned: Derelict areas of Detroit face being taken over by hordes of 'flesh and brain-eating zombies' if an ambitious business plan takes off
Siwak said it would breathe fresh life into the rundown city, giving jobs to hundreds, if not thousands, of people.
But critics say it is an 'exploitative and insensitive ploy' to profit from Detroit's problems.

Curbed Detroit blogger Sarah Cox said the plan 'sounds a lot like all that fun we had during the 1960s race riots'.
She added: 'It's nice to know Z Land is finally going to capitalise on our love of adrenaline rushes and nostalgia. Now even visitors from the 'burbs can 'wonder if they will make it through the night.'

Terrifying: Entrepreneur Mark Siwak wants to create live-action terror theme park 'Z World' on Motor City's run-down and abandoned streets
Detroit has become known in recent years for pioneering 'creative solutions' like urban farming and pedestrian-friendly greenway trials.
Soaring budget deficits and a declining population has forced businesses and the authorities to 'think outside the box'.
And Siwak, who has raised $2,200 of the $140,000 needed through fundraising website IndieGoGo, said his theme park could be the perfect solution.
He told CBS Detroit: 'The city can only have so many urban farms or similar uses for vacant plots.'
And he revealed he is already receiving CVs from hundreds of residents keen to work at the tourist attraction.
He added: 'While zombies are great, the real neat thing about this project is the potential to inject some life into a forgotten neighbourhood - with the opportunity to work with neighbourhood groups and organisation'.
The project would follow in the footsteps of Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse, where thrill-seekers wield paint ball guns to play hide-and-seek with undead zombies in a formerly abandoned truck stop.

Gun dealers in our area say that the "zombie " ammo is mostly selling to collectors, although its very good ammo from what ive heard.
They're also saying that gun sales have gone up a ton, especially lately. Interest in anything automatic especially. AR-15 sales have really jumped. People are getting nervous and getting ready to protect themselves.

Everyone is cashing in on the zombie craze. A popular sporting goods store chain has all sorts of zombie stuff. The ammo boxes are almost whimsical with the way they look. As if the boxes were hand painted in a hurry to hit the store shelves as soon as possible. Hmm, maybe the real zombies are in DC?
...I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid...

3D Training Targets From ZMB Industries
by Administrator on July 16, 2012
ZMB Industries
ZMB Industries, LLC - Shooting into the Future™
Sometimes a silly idea turns into something really useful. You probably remember back at SHOT Show we ran across “bleeding zombie targets” at Media Day at the Range. Even back then the company making them knew that the zombie craze would eventually die out, but that they had stumbled onto something significant in the area of firearms training. Their marketing and product development company, Maddox Defense, has from the start envisioned these nifty targets, made by ZMB Industries, as a three dimensional training tool.
Sans the blood and zombie graphics these genuinely three dimensional training targets give you a unique perspective at the training range, and show you just how hard it can be to get the shot when the shot is what is required. This example you see here is the basic “Jacob” model. It is currently being used currently by the Navy SEALS and the US Border Patrol. The basic foam core torso with 4 extra skins carries an MSRP of $249.95, and the legs unit is $99.95. They aren’t cheap, but they are completely unique as a training tool, and when you compare them to the cost of finding something else 3D, that gives you this unique perspective, the price isn’t that high for five targets.
Made entirely in the USA, the ZMB Industries 3D targets come in both non-marking and marking varieties. The marking ones aren’t like the bleeding zombies. They don’t drip. As you can see from the pictures, shots on the marking targets just chip away about a 1/2″ circle of paint, leaving an orange marker for hits. Our test targets were the non-marking variety and they can take a lot of hits without losing structural integrity. It would have taken more money than we were willing to spend on ammo to cripple this torso, and it comes with four more skins. ZMB Industries also sells a matching color dot roll of stickers, so you can repair the holes in the torso skins as well.
This is obviously a law enforcement and military product mostly, but with all of the professional training going on out there, they should be a big hit in the private market as well. If you think about paper targets, or even steel plate targets, they are flat, and though they can be engaged from a slight angle, they are mostly a perpendicular target, period. 3D targets offer a 180 degree field of engagement, offering a real world look at the possibilities in which a target might present itself. One of the models, the blue Greg one, even outlines all of the major organs and nerve pathways for disabling a human target. Real situations require real training, and 3D is as real as it gets without anyone shooting back.
The most recent development in these fairly mature products is the addition of hands that hold objects. Identifying a friendly or a non-combatant is just as important as hitting the bad guys in a gunfight, and these targets can be placed into just about any scenario in order to train in real environments, facing real situations and making real choices. They come with several each of guns and knives in the target five-pack, and they also come with non-weapons for the dummies to hold, cellphones and soda cans. The kit also comes with badges that are easy to mount by cutting slits in the dummy torso for identifying law enforcement officers in the field of fire.
From a real training perspective, the $249.95 price tag doesn’t seem so high, especially for five re-usable targets. Think about what else you would have to buy to simulate a 3D human in a gunfight. Store mannequins? Crash test dummies? Just about any other option would be a much more expensive option, and these targets are made to take a lot of hits and still remain rigid and usable.
As you can see from the pictures, those extra shells can be stapled directly to the legs unit and also stapled at various angles to cover objects. We experimented with trees, but you could staple them just as easily to wooden furniture, sheetrock, or to a door or window frame. The possibilities are endless. These 3D targets from ZMB are the next generation in training for real operators in real gunfight conditions. They won’t be as politically correct as a zombie target to bring them down to your local range to blast away at Jacob, Johnny, Tony and the gang, but as we have said many times here at GunsAmerica, the 2nd Amendment isn’t about hunting. ZMB Industries is at this point the only company in the market making stuff like this, and in addition to this law enforcement and military line, as well as the zombies of course, they have a full line of animals as well. 3D targets are a new concept right now, but as the word gets around an volume increases, the cost will hopefully come down enough for all of us armchair enthusiasts as well.
Contact ZMB Industries directly for orders, or ask your local gun dealer if he can get you some through one of the ZMB distributors, Ellett Brothers, Accusport, and Jerrys. The ZMB website should be updated within a couple weeks for dealer orders and more information, but for now there is a very good PDF on the products. For all government sales please contact Maddox Defense at sales@maddoxdefense.com.

‘Zombie Attacks’: Secret Virus Or Collapsing Society?
Infowars.com
August 3, 2012
Part two of Paul Joseph Watson’s interview with You Tube star Sheila Martin in which we discuss the so-called “zombie attacks” that have exploded this year. Could a secret virus be behind these horrific acts of violence, an environmental cause, or is this just a reflection of the fact that society is slowly collapsing?
