Second, he does not retrieve all his bolts as evidenced by shooting the hanging zombie in the head and walking away.
Also, he's not using depleted uranium 'crossbow arrows'. I don't know how many arrows you've shot, but even the thick diameter of crossbow bolts break down after a few shots, and I'm talking about the elements of the bolt designed to withstand repeated use. The fletchings are a totally different animal and would likely require regular repair once he ran out of bolts (assuming his crossbow is equipped to also shoot arrows).
My point is that is it a completely and utterly antiquated weapon. It obviously has it's uses, but as a primary weapon with a pistol secondary, you're hooped.
I also don't see why pointing that out is ridiculous. It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
In a zombie apocalypse, you're always in harms way. You're outnumbered potentially by BILLIONS to 1.

Actually I don't see where you mention all of that in your post. Your post was ranting about how the guy is stupid for not having a gun, which he actually has. The reason he doesn't use a gun is for stealth, if you've noticed the entire group hardly ever uses their guns.
Boy you sure got me with your second point...Yep, he left one 'bolt' in the zombie in the tree. I'm probably not going to climb a tree and risk hurting myself for a 'bolt' either. Go back and watch every episode and tell me another time he doesn't go and retrieve the 'bolt'.
There is no need to get your panties in a bunch because I called the 'bolts' arrows. I have maybe shot a handful or arrows in my life, none from a crossbow. Sorry that I'm not a manly man like you who knows so much about them that he feels the need to go on and on about specifications of 'bolts'. It is a fictional TV show, and you are ranting about how unlikely it is that a crossbow bolt would be so durable. Seriously?
I disagree, a crossbow a pistol are a fine combo if you are not looking to go on a zombie killing spree. I guarantee I can sneak around better than you can trying to blaze a bloody trail down the middle. Your automatic weapons and rocket launchers won't keep you safe for very long.
It's like bringing a knife to a gun fight with a ###### who can't fire his gun. Sure if I run into you and you have a machine gun and I have a crossbow then you are probably going to win...If you are a dumb zombie and I have baseball bat, I'm probably going to win.
You might always be in harms way, but there are ways to minimize that. Running around and shooting your gun off like a drunk American on the 4th of July is not the way to do it.
See who lasts longer, the guy with a crossbow and 9mm hand gun sneaking around or the dummy running around like he is in a call of duty game firing at will.
