I got to re-thinking the whole "zombie weapons" thing last week(before the last episode came out) and came to a new conclusion.
Apparently they can, 'cause they did. Probably helped that the idiot got butt-stroked right afterwards, chained to a pipe and left for dead.
He fired 5 rounds and with the last round aimed at his head, he apologizes and looks up to see the hatch, goes right in and sits next to the dude. The Python is in his right hand. He grabs the Beretta with his left. Zombie soldier wakes up, he lifts the Python and aims the barrel under the chin and fires his last round. He has 15 rounds for the Beretta and thus the start of episode 2.
Yep! Thought he had one of those magic Hollywood guns too. I actually sat and counted the shots under the tank the second time I watched that episode, and came up with 5 before he went through the hatch. Somebody is actually paying attention to firearms details on this show. Have you EVER seen a depiction of a shot in a closed in space where the shooter is deafened?
) He's a cop. If that's his duty gun and probably even if it's not, he'll have speed-loaders for it, probably at least two, more likely three. He's out after one cylinder under the tank and doesn't reload until his ex-pardner/friend/guy who blue-falconed his wife gave him 4 spare rounds.
In the beginning of the show, he kills the little zombie girl. That's one shot. Then the flashback to the shootout, I counted that he fired 3 rounds before being shot. He then seems to empty the shells he fired and starts to reload before taking a lethal hit in the back. Assuming his partner or nobody else reloaded his gun, he would have 3 rounds left in that gun till he gets back to it at the station. He uses one on the zombie cop, another on the corpse in the park, and fast foward it to the beginning when he's getting gas for the car, he shoots his third and last round, though I find it hard to believe he would enter unknown and possibly hostile territory with only 1 round. He must have reloaded some time before and after that scene. I'm going to assume he uses the Python as his duty and personal gun. With that said, it's possible the station does not stock any rounds for it since it's not a standard issue. He probably buys a box whenever he runs low and perhaps it just so happens he was going to buy another box because he realized he has like 9 rounds total left after that shootout before being capped in the back.Yep!

If I wanted to be nit-picky(why, yes,I will thanks!
Here's the problem:
He fired the gun at least 2 times prior to the tank incident. The zombie cop at the station, and the corpse in the park. He reloaded afterward, or he wouldn't have had six in the gun when he went under the tank. Either he should have had 4 spares(taking 2 out of a speedloader/speedstrip to top up) or our hero, who can make head-shots one handed, with an unfamiliar gun, while running, left ALL his spare ammo for his primary gun in that bag with the shotguns. Really? Not even a speed strip in a pocket?
Forgot about that one. The whole flash back/forward thing,... presumably that shot was fired on his way to Atlanta. Can't really count anything before he was wounded. Presumably he re-loaded the gun at some point after retrieving it from his home.
Now that you mention it, that is kind of screwed up,....
like I said, Seems like someone is at least trying to pay attention.
True, but only in a "hot" situation. If you had to cap one or two occasional zombies, at unknown/unplanned interval, you would reload one at a time, even if you used a whole speed-loader, you wouldn't just dump the unfired rounds when you topped up. If you had any free rounds left, you wouldn't leave the gun empty(Can't claim he forgot, when he reloaded, the cylinder was empty - he dumped the spent cases at some point)
That was my thought.
The decency laws only apply to broadcast TV. Combination of factors here, such as public owns the airwaves and they are licensed for public use, children are likely to see it, etc., none of which applies to pay cable.
