How do you guys deal with the fact that the dead are walking around? What kind of rationale do you use to cope with that? That's asking quite a bit of us to believe; much more so than a child learning to master the use of his firearm with months of daily combat. Super Duder, what time frame are you using regarding Amy versus Carl? In the world of TWD, the time skip that we just had was longer than all of the past two seasons. 'Half the time' is nowhere near correct; Carl has had much more training as well as actual combat than Amy (especially considering her condition throughout the time-skip was spent being protected by Michonne; sick, weak, and without weaponry, let alone firearms). Her training wasn't 'obvious', the only thing we know is that her father gave her that gun and from then on it's a leap of assumption that she's even actually trained with it before the apocalypse; it was for protection, not for hunting and willfully killing as they are now. Amy's known training consisted of Shane and her practicing on and off with dummies and a few times before the S2 finale in actual combat with Shane (which is even less). From what we saw, she was pretty horrible and couldn't so much as hit a large, swaying log before the farm went under.
The first two seasons are very compressed time-wise. One can logically assume that throughout these months, (the time frame, from the mouth of Kirkman, has been "we skipped a little bit of Fall, the Winter and a little bit of Spring") Carl has had at least some training from Rick and the others, but mainly benefited from direct combat with the hordes of zombies they have no doubt come across the past few months, as they've essentially been clearing out the area around the prison for the entirety of the time-skip. Chino, how do you know that it would take 'thousands' and not 'hundreds' of rounds of practice? Are you qualified to make that assumption? How experienced are you in firearm use and the hunting of humans (and/or mentally handicapped humans, as they're more in line with how zombies would move)? Have you taken into account how many zombies they've had to kill from the end of Fall through mid-point into Spring? That very well could be hundreds of rounds of both practice and real combat.
If you're going to nit-pick, you might as well put that nit-picking nose to the grindstone and go all the way. Otherwise, what's the point?
Jus' sayin'.
