The Walking Dead Season 6-Episodes 9-16 *SPOILERS*

[JoeKing]

they explicitly said it was a bullet graze

Thank you for that clarification.

 

[JoeKing]

so we can make bullets but not arrows.

got it.

you're a lot more fun when you're not around.

Has anyone done that or even claimed to be able to do that? Making this personal only make you a jerk.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Thank you for that clarification.

The hilltoppers they're working for have a doctor anyhow...so in the even of actual need, they have access to one.

yea, a week of "megan" crap didn't start that off, now did it? and no. no one has ever made a bolt for a crossbow. scientists are still in awe of the first one found and to this day wonder how there was ever a 2nd one.

This would be true.

But do to the nature of the world around them, and the amount of time it takes them to get to the Hilltop, you're talking about a half day to get there or so. Based off the way the TV show shows it and how it's done in the comic. They're actually not terribly far away but given that they can't just drive as fast as they want to get there they wind up taking a long time to get there.

So if it's a life or death situation then that doctor isn't in ideal position to help them. I would imagine they'll write someone in, quickly, whose a doctor in some fashion in order to work that part out.

and when a lack of precision crossbow bolts is an issue, eugene will figure out how to carve a straight stick with a pointy end and a notched end.

lol.

I believe that Eugene could easily already do this if he felt there was a real need to do so.

He instead has focused his efforts on the much better, and much more profitable, commodity by deciding to make ammo.

yep. just pointing out to the self-downtrodden in here that making a bolt for a crossbow isn't that difficult and shouldn't have to be spelled out in the storyline.

lol. Oh I hear ya. I didn't know exactly what the conversation was going like because whoever it is you're trying to explain that to is on the ignore list. So I'm grateful I can't see their posts on the topic anyway.

they were there. i took them off as i may have been jumping the gun in all that, but after the "poor me, you are so mean and take things personal - and btw - no one has said they can make crossbow bolts yet so no one can!" is more or less what they were getting at.

but - maybe i was wrong when i thought i was wrong and i was right before i was said wrong and i can go back to being right again and remove what is wrong with my life. again.

that and work on my crossbolt making talents so i'm relevant in the post apocolyptic world.

You need to get over your week old "megan" butt hurt. It was never personal so stop being small minded and petty.

A bolt isn't just a stick. There is a certain skill required to make one. We're not talking about the real world so stop talking as if that's the conversation. In the world of TWD, civilization has broken down. In many ways we are starting over. We don't know exactly what there abilities are to fabricate things other than what we are shown they can do.

I hope so. Not having a doctor is a big deal.

cause yea - back in medieval times, no one figured out how to make such complex materials.

and yes, it was personal. just because you say it wasn't doesn't mean i'm going to believe someone trolling around for reactions. so like my good friend braveheart here, i will start singing old jacksons...

you're outta my life....

You aren't even trying to be civil. Nothing I can do at this point to make things right between us, I guess.

I'm not saying they can't figure it out in the world of TWD, I'm sure they can. I just haven't heard it mentioned yet.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Rick Grimes would not put up with all this arguing!

 

[cowboyeric8]

Well you could end up making a bolt easily, especially when you have 3+ years of time on your hand (I mean seriously, besides kill walkers what do these people have time to do? Can you imagine the downtime?!)

Also you can get hundreds if not thousands at sporting goods stores, and judging by not many people using a crossbow it appears to be the forgotten weapon in the apocalypse. So I'm sure Darryl has plenty of ammo.

Succinctly put, makes complete sense to me. It's contributions to the conversation like this that I appreciate. Thank you.

@iceberg this is what a civil conversation looks like.

you'll have to ask the resident butt-hurt person why we can't make bolts until someone in the show speaks up on how to do it. we've never really seen them go to the restroom yet that i recall so we can only assume no one knows how by that logic.

strange world, this walking dead...

Shut up or I'm going to shoot some one. Anyone see Coral?

Now if only they had internet so they could see this.
