My question is why did Rosita have Eugene make her only one bullet? Is it that she lacked a magazine?

The more fundamental question is how come no one in zombieworld is aware that empty shell casings can be reloaded? They act like reloading a round is equivalent to the second coming.

She’s my favorite, with King Ezekiel running second.

Absolutely!

I’ve argued that point with people who favor guns.

They’re at the point of picking up brass, in desperation...but Michonne just keeps swinging.

Makes me wonder if she and Negan are headed for single combat.

/team Michonne

And Daryl, of course, but a crossbow has limitations of speed and bolts.

But there’s the bike to consider...

Oh, now that’s a good point, the showdown!

The crossbow has its uses, but otherwise, is a nominally useful tool, with guns the worst long-term weapon. Blades are the way to go.

That’s a good point, but reloading is not a skill that everyone possesses, thinks about or even know about.

Me, for instance. I know about it, I’ve seen some of the equipment and materials necessary, but I do not know how to do it.

I do know someone who can, but I do not count that as a reliable resource. Guy’s a bit squirrely.

According to his other channel “vet ranch” he just opened his own practice.

More power to him, he’s probably a good one.

He does a lot of stuff for free with abused/neglected animals. He also fosters dogs. He’s one of the good ones. He’s been approached by production companies about doing his own TV show, but declined as he’s not ready to give up practicing vet medicine.

Got some cool stuff, but I’m into older things.

Total agreement.

Why the rest of them are not raiding stores for machetes, I’ll never understand.

***We just have to suspend belief and accept that some things aren’t going to match up with real life. ***

Like “cop killer” bullets passing through a bulldozer blade and killing the driver in one of the LETHAL WEAPON movies.
Or an “innocent jail escapee” shooting ten-twelve bad guys with sawed off pistol grip pump shotgun without reloading.

Yep - like Ramsey in Game of Thrones - Negan needs to die in a grand and in-glorious way.

Sigh...yes, Daryl. I keep hoping that guy will find some love & happiness in an F’d up world (must be my feminine side coming out 8^)
