Ostensibly, according to the Mayans the world will end next December. Interestingly, apparently Nostradamus predicted the same thing. We don't know if the apocalypse will happen, but there are certainly a lot of strange things occurring around the world. Frankly, we don't know if the impending doom predicted by the Mayans, Nostradamus, or any other prophet of doom is true, but there are a lot of preppers who are taking extreme measures to prepare themselves should a real calamity occur.
The prepper phenomena may explain why 1.5 million background checks - a requirement to purchase a gun - were submitted in December 2011. One-half of those applications, 500,000, occurred in the 6 days before December 25, setting an all-time record for the six-day period before Christmas. That's a lot of guns, and that's when it occurred to us to combine the needs of preppers with gun owners to create precious metal ammunition - a novel way to protect yourself, your family, and your money.
Is it necessary? Who knows. Will it work? Maybe.
Is it cool?
Definitely.
Besides, haven't you always wanted a silver bullet?
Whether or not the apocalyptic prophets are right, tumultuous economic conditions will inevitably continue to nudge investors to invest in precious metals – especially gold and silver. Considering the penchant of investors in emerging economies like India and China to buy gold, which is a deeply rooted cultural status symbol in those nations, the gold market will continue to thrive as the world spirals towards the apocalypse next December. Consequently, gold and silver bullets will probably increase in value as more people begin to prepare themselves and their families to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
Moreover, if the apocalypse doesn't occur your precious metal ammunition will still be worth more than you paid for it, and if the world does end you can hand over your investment to any thieves - through the barrel of a gun at +/- 1000 ft/sec.
Simply put, the end of civilization doesn't come around too often, and it presents a unique opportunity to do things we've never done before. Things like shoot valuable precious metals out of our firearms to protect our other precious things.
How cool is that?
At least in a certifiable way.
Nevertheless, we've always been fascinated with the aura and mysterious power of silver bullets beginning with our first introduction to the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger dispensed justice against all forms of evil and tyranny, and his silver bullets were always used judiciously – he never shot to kill, which implies that life, too, is precious, and like his silver bullets, not to be wasted or thrown away.
Additionally, given that silver bullets are also the preferred method to dispatch lycanthropes and other minions of hell, silver bullets embody the truest ideals of America: the ability of ordinary folks like cowboys to dispense God's justice against every evil known to man. And, if silver bullets have magic powers - gold bullets probably have more even more mojo…
Regardless, the world may, or may not, end but if it does, we'll certainly be happy we have our precious metal ammunition to defend ourselves or pay for a bath and a nice meal. More importantly, the Lone Ranger would have probably used gold bullets too – we just thought about it first.
We are happy to answer any and all questions with one important exception: is the world really going to end? Actually, we haven't a clue, but if it does we certainly will have some beautiful ammunition to protect ourselves with. Regardless, if you have a question about any of our bullets, or you can't find what you're looking for and need to place a custom order please send an larry@apocalypticammunition.com or you can call us at 830-980-2818.
