But she mentioned them covering the men with guns while talking about the guards at the gate.

I thought the attention of the sharpshooters was on the armed guards at the gate by Jain.

14 Years and Counting // Walking Dead

Sure.

Hi miss @wick

14 Years and Counting // Walking Dead

No worries. Real life happens, as long as everybody's ok I think we'll live.

14 Years and Counting // Walking Dead

Billy... need a spot where it says Job on their Cs so it is more clear.@Dnafein

Okay, so I get Alex, Rafe, Darric and April plus I'll take two random NPC Scouts.

@Wick

Yeah, I thought it was there. When I saw it wasn't I fixed it.

And from what I gathered Billy and Vickie are moving with April's scouts.

14 Years and Counting // Walking Dead

Billy is a marksman/sniper. I thought it said. Will fix it.

@Dnafein
Also just to put this out there

I know it's been 14 years but I live in Oregon, at our family's house there are 12 shotguns, 14 rifles 2 semi-auto 3 lever action and two pump action the rest are bolt action rifles. 8 pistols half autoloaders half revolvers three compound bows 2 PVC longbows... and from the people living around us we are kind of average in the number of firearms we have.

So I guess it's understandable that we have a few firearms lol

@ReusableSword

Yeah, i grew up in cali and a few of my uncles had a number of firearms. One of them collected weaponry, he had a family katana my grandfather picked up during WWII.

I think the big thing about firearms 14 years after civilization fell is that in the beginning its unlikely most with firearms will exhibit the type of control needed to ensure ammunition exists years down the line. In all honesty, I'd anticipate an excess of ammunition spent.

Aside from those who miss because of fear or inexperience, I'd wager there's be a number of people on people usage as well. There will be those who will use their weapons to take what they want; And there will be those who will suddenly find themselves unchained by social inhibitions. None of those take in the number of rounds simply lost, either dropped or left behind in a rush.

@Dnafein
On the weapons side of things those rifles you're talking about would be high quality and unlikely to leave last hope for defense reasons

I think

@ReusableSword

Actually, 2 of the 4 high quality rifles Lasthope has is with the expedition. Billy has one Vickie the other. They're the lee-enfield rifles. Lasthope doesn't have any of the more current sniper rifles.

At least that's the information Rumi provided in discussions about the marksmen. I may have misunderstood some, but the gist was the above.
