the other thing is why aren’t people using bladed weapons and hammers a lot more than the guns? They always bitch about the noise attracting unwanted attention from everything. Plus ammo isn’t abudant. They need to get swords. They also should have everyone going outside wearing armor or at least some kind of shielding to fend off an errant walker or two. Yeah it’s hot but damn, evveryone should always have SOME water with them on a belt too.

If any of ‘em had ever watched Road Warrier, they could figure out how to make some quiet pneumatic weapons using plain wooden shafts. Even better, how about some pneumatic nail guns for close range work at the fence? Should be plenty of boxes of nail-gun nails around. Heck, they even make nail guns that use power cells, so the things don’t even need to be tethered.
