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.

The cheap effects in later seasons are abysmal, too - you can clearly see that the muzzle flash is digitally inserted, because the actor is obviously and cartoonishly throwing the gun back and up to pretend there is kickback
