How many crossbow bolts are you going to come across scavenging? Even in Canada, I could make my way across the country with a .22 and never run out of ammo.
Hell, if I had a .22 and a pump action chambered for 3 inch shells, I'd die from my lack of speed being bogged down so much by the ammo I'd collected.
If there was a zombie apocalypse right now, right this second. I could grab enough ammunition to hold me over for a significant length of time in a 40 minute round trip walk, and this is in one of the least firearm dense environments in the country, let alone southern Georgia.
All of this is besides the real point of him being surrounded by people with guns.
On the plus side, this show has provided me with a great soapbox for tangents.

Well if you actually watched then you would know that Darryl has his crossbow for taking out one or two zombies, but he also carries a hand gun. Also he does not scavenge for crossbow arrows, he always goes and takes the arrow from the zombie he just killed so he can use it again. His crossbow is only used for when he wants to be silent. Believe it or not the zombies are attracted to sound (weird) so firing a gun to kill 1 zombie is overkill and dumb.
While you are wasting time collecting ammo and shooting your gun like it's going out of style, I will be sneaking around getting items that are acutally going to be needed. Then when you are surrounded and killed by zombies from making so much noise I will sneak in and take your stash of guns and ammo.
You only need assault rifles and .50 cal machine guns if you go and put yourself in harms way. If you actually think of a plan to stay hidden and use your brain you don't need all that stuff. Zombies are stupid and can't set traps or think ahead, their only instinct is to feed. Your biggest weapon against zombies is your smarts not how big of a cannon you can find.
/rant about a dumb rant.
