I’m perturbed by the fact that they waste ammo using automatic spray.
But I will note walkers are slower and don’t dodge for cover.
And I’ve determined why the Sherriff uses a revolver — he limp-wrists his Colt Python. Doing that with a semi-auto will result in a jam because the slide won’t operate corretly.[/quote]
Well, they are supposed to be poorly trained. Used to walkers, but not used to people shooting back. I can forgive that.
I am sure they are using mostly CG for the firing anyways as opposed to blanks or squibs.

Yeah I’m not saying that hitting walkers is the unrealistic part, but there is a solid 180 seconds where not a single bullet lands. The governer made no attempted for any kind of cover.

I think that was unintentionally realistic.
People who are not professional soldiers tend to miss a hell of a lot in gunfights. Up to now the group has been mostly dealing with walkers.
The Governor is looking to be going nuts as well.
That said, I am still positive that no one involved in production is a “gun guy”, nor do they care to be. I am fine with it. At least this season people appear to be actively trying to improve their arms.
In season 1 and 2 no Evil Black Rifles were present, save for those that were left on the ground around the CDC or in Atlanta proper. Even if they were going for “rural” I would have expected a bunch of cheap SKS’s and some lever guns.
I am fine with assuming the 16 inch AR’s are supposed to be actual M4’s with the “happy switch” (and oddly enough shouldn’t most of those be 3 round burst instead of full?) I get how those could be “available”. Where the hell did the Governor find an honest to god full auto AUG? And why the hell would you give it to the one guy who has to shoot off his left shoulder now? That actually bugged me.
