Did anyone else think it was weird that Daryl said they could not shoot the gov from 50 yards out??? Any good redneck knows that a 50 yard shot is a layup.

Not from a strategic standpoint it wasn't.

Yes..but I think it was to just keep Carl settled down. 50 yards at a still target isn't shite.

exactly not a great trade at that point in time ie strategy. But I am convinced at this point most people are idiots or just come up with idiotic nitpicks.

I totally understand the strategy part of it. I just thought the line was wrong.

He's also shooting through two fences, and his sight is obstructed by a third. It was far from a clear shot.

This. Plus he was not using the most accurate gun in their arsenal.

It was to keep Carl from doing it. Carl is already trigger happy, just talking the kid out of it.

Daryl was trying to not escalate the situation any more than it already was, Carl was being a dumbass like usual.

Nothing like the comic. Daryl told him to take the shot in the comic.

Not to mention he had no scope and no buis.


And over 50% of his body mass was behind Herschel and michonne

And he wasn't in a moving car on a bumpy road. 100% accuracy on head shots in that scenario.

It annoyed me that Carl had that shitty lever action and Tyreese had a bolt action, while Beth had an assault rifle. Wouldn't it be more effective in a firefight to have your more capable shooters fire off the most rounds?

Give your shitty shooters the semi autos maybe they could hit something.

Your more experienced need the bolt action so each shot will count.

I see what youre saying but I still think it makes more sense to give your better shooters more shots.


Lets say the people with the ARs get off 100 shots to the bolt/levers actions 20.


If your good shooter has an accuracy of 30% and your shitty ones 10%.


Good shooter with AR: 30 hits
Shitty shooter with Bolt/Lever: 2 hits

32 hits


Good with bolt: 6 hits
Shitty with AR: 10 hits

16 hits

I know I just made all that shite up, but it still makes more sense to me to use that strategy.

When backed into a corner the bad shooters would need the AR to spray and pray, I guess thats the logic.
