The Walking Dead ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** - You've Been Warned!

Re: The Walking Dead

Actually, its totally unenhanced. Here's a brightened up view from a few seconds later:

I didn't see it either until the 2nd viewing. So much new stuff (after a slow 2nd season). It took a while to even notice that the silencers (there are at least two) are home made.

The Walking Dead

Sounds like a 3rd viewing is in order!

Re: The Walking Dead

I like your thinking EG. Only one viewing here so far but i have to say i caught the mag-light silencer straight away.

Then as they were working the prison corridors i started wondering about the battery supply they must have! Id be more worried about the batteries then the ammo yet i dont recall them ever discussing such things.

That's a great still-shot. I'm thinking the scene and his movements went by so fast that it was easy to miss. I mean honestly, who uses a M@glite as the basis for a silencer?

They found a bunch of lights and other equipment in the prison. I'm sure they found a nice supply of CR123 cells too. But that scene was likely edited out.

How the hell can you attach a Maglite to the Glock?

Re: The Walking Dead

Maybe they got a bunch of our Aussie G17A's with the 'extended barrels' to meet the revised laws back in 2002 because you know, the extra 3mm in barrel length really makes them so much less concealable... Anyways im going off on a tangent, so yeh they clearly got some G17A's, tapped the end of the barrel and somehow drilled and tapped the maglight to thread onto the barrel

Seriously tho, im impressed they have taken the details right down to the hole in the end of the light, wouldnt be surprised if it was real given that level of detail.

The Walking Dead REALLY need a cameo appearance by FPS Russia and his arsenal...

You doing it all wrong, no wonder it didn't work. You attach the Glock to a Maglite, not the other way around! Silly.


On a more serious note, do zombies starve to death?

Hollywood magic.

A homemade silencer isn't the sort of thing a TV show wants to actually use because it might lead to someone making one as well. Then you get major legal nightmares if the design is used in real life by some scumbag. So you make something that looks realistic only. The silenced shot is put in during post production.

No. But they continue to rot away. In about 5 years, their brains will have rotted away to nothing. Thus becoming harmless.

Darn, they were starting to look like the perfect energy source. Just put a 1000 of them per building, each on a treadmill with something to chase!

Re: The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is one of the better cable shows, so good in fact, that I got the season one and season two DVDs...

( couple of other cable shows that are good --- The Killing, Dexter, Homeland, Boardwalk Empire....)

The Walking Dead

... and Southland

Re: The Walking Dead

Southland was a pretty good series too.

Another zombie (+vampire + werewolves) series I can recommend is MTV's Death Valley: it's a comedy but hilarious! Definitely worth watching!
