    The Governor and Marksmanship

    Okay, so I am riveted to the set watching Walking Dead. Governor cuts the sling off of some dying National Guardsman and buttstrokes him into the great beyond. Suddenly, some survivor takes off at a dead sprint. Governor raises the dead man's weapon, never checks to see if there is a round chambered or if the safety is on, and proceeds to drop him with a single shot at 100 yards - without a rear sight or optics. WTF??

    The target was about 50 feet away. Shouldn't be too hard.

    No Sir, the target was better than 100 yards away. I just watched again and may even have the target as far as 200 yards. I call foul.

    I'll have to watch again, just to be sure.

    Yes, in any fiction show, there are still rules. In this show there are zombies which have a known set of rules surrounding how zombies act and die. The rest of the rules pertaining to the laws of physics still exist. Up is still up and 150 yard standing shots on moving targets without rear sights are still unlikely.

    Just like Carl using a pistol to make head shots on moving targets from 50+ (being generous and underestimating distance) yards.

    The prop guy missed that one. At least some of the NG guys had optics/aimpoints.
