The Walking Dead Season 3

Another nitpick is why Daryl walking using what appears to be field points, which are, from what I can tell, practice tips for his bolts. Shouldn't he be using broadheads since those are the standard tips used for hunting? Granted that I'm sure that field points are more than good enough for walkers and easier to pull out but if everything happened as quick as it did shouldn't he have had mostly broadheads on his bolts?

The broadheads would be destroyed a lot more quickly ripping them out of skulls. The field points are much more practical.

As well as putting the arrows in his mouth after shooting them through walkers heads lol

 

[Feezle-Nuts]

Maybe he just likes the taste.

 

[Sundowner]

zombie is an acquired taste

 

[MooCriket]

Taste just like chicken.

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the logic behind him using field heads, much easier to recover and probably a lot sturdier too, esp. when regularly being used to penetrate bone. What I'm questioning is why would have all of those field heads handy when, I assume, that he used his crossbow for hunting before things went wrong and I'd assume that he wouldn't many or any field heads or at least none handy. Then again, I suppose that just because he's a good ol' boy and probably hunts regularly it doesn't necessarily mean that he did it with his crossbow and he previously used it mostly just for target practice.

 

[Feezle-Nuts]

Field points are a lot cheaper so chances are he would have more of those lying around. I tend to wonder if he owned the crossbow pre-ZA.

I agree, there would be a fair number of people with some sort of body armor, even if it isn't all that fancy or even all that protective against much. If you really think about, strong bite force or not, human teeth aren't all that sharp so it wouldn't take much to stop a zombie bite, I bet that a decent leather jacket would be decent protection against a zombie. Leather jackets and riding leathers would be pretty common form of anti-zombie armor; raid a Harley shop or a sport bike shop and you'd be set. Or, if you're in the right area, hit UD Replicas' workshop and/or warehouse and you could run around protected against zombies while dressed like Batman or Iron Man.

Leather could definitely stop the penetration, but you also have to consider the force of the bite could break your arm. I keep a pair of soccer shin guards to wear on my forearms. Also to consider that some zombies are going to have jagged broken teeth that could penetrate.

 

[Feezle-Nuts]

You really don't want to be penetrated by a zombie in any way.

Speaking of nitpicking....

lol:lol all of ^ is exactly what she said.

The lawn arguement is a little invalid. during winter (in Australia) I'm lucky to mow my lawn once the whole winter. I just mowed it for the first time in months the other day and it looked no longer than the lawn in that photo.

/my 2 cents

 

[.:MirrorminD:.]

In TWD world everyone has AstroTurf?

 

[robstyle]

There is a film thats seems to never be coming to a theater near anyone release date named "Re-Kill". Parts of it were filmed in Louisiana in abandoned and condemned locations with massive amounts of over growth. It actually looked the part because it had happened. With TV, thats a rarity even more so they shoot WD exteriors on functional practical locations.

Seasons 1 and 2 were in the summer and fall.

People who focus on grass disappoint me.

 

[Lord Boron]

I suspect that 99.9 percent of the general public who watch The Walking Dead don't notice, or even care about the grass. Or zombies biting through jeans. Or the lack of slide movement on the guns....

I've been trying for a whole to find Re-kill on DVD/blu ray for a while now but no such luck. I really liked how the movie looked from the trailer. If its the one I'm thinking of......

No talk about Herschel?

Agreed, I'm more concerned with Zombie killing action.
