That's true, they did- they really did. And I do wish that had been acknowledged sooner on the show. I never said they didn't. Bats, hammers, pipes, anything could be a weapon, and should be - naturally. At least they do seem to have gotten better in that regard this season. The idea that was pushed (and I can't help but notice anytime a zombie style story comes up) that guns are the end all, be all of defense against the dead is one of my pet peeves. Save your guns for the living and the odd sniper shot of necessity - or clearing an area you don't know well and have very poor vision in like the prison. *sigh* (Freaking hell, why was old man Hershel even IN the clearance team? He's the second most valuable player they've GOT!)

My problem with Andrea in particular is the whining, foot stomping, and the tantrums, coupled with weapon use that I can't help but see as blatant irresponsibility and disrespectful handling. (Protip: If you want to be taken seriously as an adult and/or persuade people that they should do something for you, that is NOT how to do it.) I liked her (and Amy) very much in S1.. seeing her regress into a petulant toddler just infuriated me in S2. She turned into something I absolutely despise. I'm hopeful she's through with that, and I can start liking her once more.

Trust me though, I could go on a rant about the basic stupidity of EACH of the characters, lol! (Know what would be awesome? If they worked to make functional bows and arrows and teach as many as possible to shoot with them! Long range weapon, reusable ammo that you can make if need be, and silent to shoot! More crossbows like Daryl's would be fantastic, but bows would be a good stop gap. :D)

If they worked to make functional bows and arrows and teach as many as possible to shoot with them!

This was more or less my thought exactly, once it was established how effective Daryl's bow was against zombies (in other universes, where the brain has to be more or less destroyed to kill a zombie, a bow is not what you'd want to have). Why they haven't done this is beyond me.

That said (and I wrote a whole essay about this after ragequitting the show in S2, I'll see if I can find it if you're interested) reloading spent ammunition is not anywhere near as difficult as the producers of the show seem to think it would be. This is the Southern US - you'd find the proper equipment for it in many garages, and failing that, the back of any decent gun store. Many, many gun owners do it as a hobby or to save money - it is not a special elite skill. Running out of bullets does not mean they can't just make more.

Barring that, just finding a mould would allow them to make their own casings out of scrap metal and modern primers are hardly as difficult or dangerous to use as black powder - making new gun cotton would be trivial. Reloading shotgun shells is even simpler.

The primary advantage of a bow, of course, is the lack of sound and that's still the case, but people in these shows always seem to act like nobody knows how to make cartridges in their garages anymore.
