Zombie-Fighting Assault Rifles

The Doublestar Zombie-X AK-47 Will Have You Ready for Battle

— January 30, 2012 — Unique
I would feel a lot safer about the eventual zombie apocalypse if both the police and the military were armed with the DoubleStar Zombie-X AK-47. This zombie-killing weapon is a combination of an AK-47 and an electric chainsaw and is guaranteed to stop a zombie in its tracks.

The DoubleStar Zombie-X AK-47 isn't just designed for show; this gun means serious business. This modified AK has a drum magazine and a holographic sight complete with a bio-hazard symbol as the reticule. The electric chainsaw is mounted at the barrel of the gun and is the perfect length for a melee weapon. DoubleStar's previous and less awesome zombie killer, the DSC Zombie Slayer, sold for $1,249, so it's reasonable to expect pricing slightly higher.
Trend Themes
1. Zombie-fighting Weapons - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the weapons industry to create specialized tools for combating zombies.
2. Modified Firearms - Potential for disruptive innovation in gun customization to meet specific needs, such as combining an AK-47 with an electric chainsaw.
3. Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness - Growing trend in products and services catering to individuals and organizations preparing for a hypothetical zombie outbreak.
Industry Implications
1. Weapons - Disruptive innovation opportunities in the creation of specialized tools for self-defense against zombies.
2. Gun Customization - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in modifying firearms to meet the unique needs and preferences of users.
3. Emergency Preparedness - Emerging industry catering to individuals and organizations seeking to be ready for a zombie apocalypse or other disasters.
