Ammo caches everywhere!
Apparently the walking dead tv show is very similar to a video game. For some unexplained reason there must me randomly stashed cases of bullets scattered throughout the state of Georgia. All someone has to do is walk past it, a strange noise sounds out of no where, and suddenly their weapon clip is full again, ta daa!
Ok in all seriousness how do they manage to find all the ammunition? In the shows defence the characters usually try and reserve their firearms for last case scenario, but when they do there is never much of a problem with bullets. they may run out in that scene, or even that episode, but the next time they need to shoot something, the clip is magically full again. They seem to be traveling fairly light so it’s not like they have a pack full of ammunition they have managed to scavenge so that’s not the answer. I imagine it wouldn’t take long, even for a gun happy country like America, for bullets to become a pretty rare commodity. Once again I guess the allure of special effects zombie brains scattering everywhere from a headshot trumps common sense.
Another major issue is this. Obviously all bullets don't work in all wepons. You may find a pile 6 feet tall of 9mm bullets, but if you don’t have a weapon that shoots 9mm then those bullets are useless to you. Let’s take for e.g. the main character Rick Grimes. He happens to carry with him a Colt Python .357 Magnum which can fire both .357 and .38 special ammo. Now a quick google lets me know that the top 3 most popular ammo types in America are .22, 12 gauge and 9mm. So that being said the average home or building will most likely not have .357 ammunition kicking around. Once again a quick visit to google lets me know that Rick has 80+ kills and counting with his .357. Your guess is as good as mine where he keeps all that ammo.
