With regards the zombie in the trunk, I think it was an old lady that was left behind by her family. That was my impression.

You would think; that in a situation like their's, a lot more 'surpressed' automatic weapons would be employed. I mean they've certainly run across enough opportunities to find them. The weaponry seems to vary from season, to season with Rick; being the only 'constant' with his trusty Python.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don't disrespect your opinion if you like it, just mentioning mine. However, I will give it credit for being a very business-like, almost mean looking, butt ugly revolver.

I'd think a ruger 10/22 and a 22 pistol would be the way to go. Carry thousands of rounds easily, low recoil, low sound, accurate as hell, and since a head shot is all that works, knockdown power is not necessary. A 22 can sure pierce a skull, especially a rotting one!
And I'm in the show for the long haul, but the show is getting a bit stale. SAme thing every season. Wander for a while. Find a place. Think you're safe. Lose the place. Repeat. They gotta move it along.
I want an answer as to what caused the outbreak. Natural? Experiment gone wrong? And some attempt to get a cure. Can't keep doing the same thing every season.
They're walking through the woods with a baby. I would never have left that hospital after Beth got killed.

Someone should have showed her how to hold it.
The book got stale. The show does not follow the book panel for panel, but kinda, 'Same destination, different path.'

In answer to the questions of "Why?" because they seem to be fighting a LOT more than JUST the zombies in this show. The other answer would be "Why NOT?" After all, 500 Mag ammo isn't that much heavier or more impractical than trying to scrounge enough 7.62x39 to feed an AK on F/A with extra mags, etc. OR trying to keep such a variety of different caliber weapons supplied with ammo. From a practical standpoint, they *should* have focused on picking up enough select fire AR-15s from the various military posts they ran across along the way, and then used them on semi-auto for 99.5% of the conflicts, along with fixed bayonets for most of the zombies (along with .22LR, as was mentioned earlier). That would make more sense over time than the hodge-podge of weapons, but it wouldn't make for such a variety of "hero weapons" that become associated with the characters along the way, such as Rick's Python.
Barring that, one could make an argument to try and have a variety of weapons so that whatever type of ammo might be ran across could be used in something that had on hand. After all, you never know when a box or two of some oddball round (like perhaps 500 Mag?) might be the ONLY thing left that hadn't been picked over when the shelves of the local WalMart got picked clean of the 9mm, .380, .22LR (as if there would be any there to begin with), 5.56/.223, and 7.62x39.
What would really make more sense in the show would be to have someone set up to cast bullets and reload ammo for what they have, because eventually factory made ammo supplies would run out in that kind of an environment, probably sooner than later.

I see that the moisin nagant M44 carbine Maggie used last year has gone by the wayside. One thing I do see is that when they have to scrounge for food and water you never see them scrounging for ammo. Frank

Wow you have really given this some serious thought! You might want to talk to the writers about this. The gun thing is usually an afterthought on these shows. You are making it the centerpiece.

Really do wish someone would coach the 'Rick' character on grip, stance and at least some facsimile of sight alignment.
Watch him 'point' the Python sometime - he apparently just sort of covers his intended target with the REAR sight only. Looks like he'd hit the ground on a zombie standing 10 feet away.

TRR8 is a okay revolver. I traded mine for a s&w 500 8-3/8" even. I also had a s&w night guard 386 that I traded for a s&w 500 4" even. I think that I made out better on those deals. My s&w 386 mountain lite fills both of their roles just fine.

In a competing show on the syfi channel, Zombie Nation, there was one scene where they actually discussed the pros and cons of the .22 LR. Their story line was the .22 was great for being compact and able to carry a lot of ammunition, but it took two or three head shots to make a zombie drop in their tracks. Bottom line, the .22 LR is to much of a mouse gun for up-close zombie protection.
I remember that chapter, and I can agree with the argument exposed by the characters ( I rather be armed with my 5" Heavy Duty) ....but I still think that a ruger 10/22, a marlin 60, an HK 416 22 lr or any semiautomatic 22 Lr. would be a nice piece of equipment in the "Zombie apocalypse".

Nah! Maggie freaked out because it reminded her of Beth being taken. Walker or not, she didn't look that old. Clothes didn't look old lady.
