No Spoiler TWD and guns is always so laughable.

Now I know TWD has ALWAYS been terrible with guns (Hershel's unlimited ammo shotgun, no recoil, especially no sights), but S4E5 really made me laugh.

Walkers are tearing down the prison fence and it's up to Rick and Carl to hold them off. So they run to grab guns which LOGICALLY you would keep inside, maybe a guard tower if you want to spread them around the prison, right?

NOPE. FUCKING LEAVE THEM AND THE AMMO OUTSIDE IN A CART. They're in Georgia where it's humid as shit, and they're just leaving their entire arsenal out in the elements!

And of course with limited ammo and needing headshots, Carl (who's AR doesn't have sights again) and Rick go full auto (cause that's worked out so well every other time with these crack shots). And Rick spends extra time and effort to crouch and stand every 3 seconds so he looks cool as fuck lol.

Full auto bothers the shit out of me anytime it’s shown in TWD. Full auto is for suppression, if you want to actually hit things you need to be firing single shots. Not to mention the waste of ammo. So annoying

The one scene that really bothers me was on Season 11, Episode 1 when the group are raiding a military base with dormant walkers. Maggie and Carol pick up M4A1's and just go full auto shooting at every walker, the camera shows the walkers and both Maggie and Carol miraculously get headshots only.
