I finally got to preview the zombie annihilator on Saturday, and I have to say I was very impressed with what I saw. While there were a few minor issues with the weight and cost of the rifle, these were only minor setback to the overall performance of this well designed weapon. Even thought it is a bit on the heavy side the Troy industries forward grip and the Magpul UBR collapsible stock manage to comfortably distribute the weight when shouldering the rifle. I really enjoyed having the ability to quickly adjust sights from large to small aperture using the Samson FFS quick flip sight. Picture this, you are being attacked by a hungry mindless hoard of undead foes the one thing you don’t need is a lot of upward recoil when every shot counts. Equally important the A2 flash suppressor will limit your enemies ability to spot your position. The two stage trigger gives you a clean even break with each shot without extra resistance and the Magpul enhance trigger guard allows for plenty of room for mobility for even the heavily gloved finger.
