LOVE it. It's not even (IMO) about zombies as much as general post-apocalyptic survival, including the physical and psychological aspects of it all.


This is what makes the show interesting.

Yea, you see guns in every episode but you see some of the most overdone firearms mistakes 100s of times. Here are a few complaints with the firearms knowledge:

1. the BIGGEST mistake... Look at the barrel on this rifle. This was aired live on tv. Are you kidding me?



2. Carl shoots with his thumbs crossed behind the beavertail AND uses two hands to pull the trigger.

3. They somehow managed to make 100 yard headshots with a Beretta M9 and a Sig P226 when they first took over the prison.

4. If I was in a post-apocalyptic world, I don't care how bad I want to shoot full auto - it's NOT gonna happen and is EXTREMELY wasteful of good ammo that is almost as valuable as gold at that point.

Those are my biggest ones but they are still apparent in almost every episode.

If you want to see funny reviews from an experienced shooter's perspective, check out MrColionNoir's videos where he reviews them. They are hilarious.

Glenn. I always get the hot bitch.

Who do I hate the most? Lori. She should be dead and somehow isn't. What a count.

I just started season 3, but I'd agree with some of the shots being ridiculous. Anyone who's shot a pistol knows at long range and moving, head shots are almost impossible, and multiple headshots wouldn't happen.

Also, the ammo thing isn't realistic. He had 700 rounds of ammo for all Guns, somehow after all that he still has some

Final pet peeve Shane and that woman with a shaved head. She's unattractive, whiny, and annoying

Spot on.

Loved the show when it first came out, but haven't watched the past 2.
