2 reasons they didn't stop to scavenge for weapons or ammo when leaving the CDC, even though there must have been tons of both lying around.
1: there were zombies everywhere and they were pretty preoccupied with just getting back to the vehicles, and
2: the place was about to become a giant fireball and they probably had no idea how large the blast radius would be. I'd just be trying to put as much distance as possible between myself and the building.

I do agree that there really is no reason for the group not to have better weapons. If not at the CDC, I'm sure there are lots of other places they could have picked them up.
