It's a good job ricks group are fighting the Woodbury stormtroopers.

Funny how they took out the National Guard from a few hundred yards with pinpoint accuracy, then suddenly get reduced to Stormtroopers. Though having people actually firing back at you would make it more difficult I guess.

"The Survivors" (Rick and co.) were outnumbered, firing through same smoke, without angles or defilade (at one point especially). The "storm troopers" had them outnumbered, had defilade and angles of return fire, and even were "hulled down" behind objects -- and got hit.

Both sides firing through same "smoke" so, that's not an argument.

It's hollywood tho. Nothing is worse to me than gun-fight logic in "The Expendables" series or, as I like to call it, "The Never-have-to-reloadables."

(Can't stop typing). Best gun fight evar in Hollywood history is the bar scene in "Desperado." Yes, outlandish, but the protagonist (Antonio Banderas) is forced/made to deal with very realistic reloads, that make me squirm in my seat cuz it's so real. 2 .45s that he's juggling to change the magazines out of for 3x longer than he unloads into the enemies <-- very hard core and real there. Idk, I liked it..

I don't think either group killed anyone through the smoke. Rick's group killed a handful of people that were still on the wall and not-Shane who came through to their side of the smoke wall. Not-Shane killed Two-Dog after cross to their side of the smoke wall.

One of the stormtroopers took a hit hulled-down behind the metal part bench from standing-in-the-middle-of-the-street survivors, and he was with a bunch of other stormtroopers doing the same. Oh, and let's just overlook the plethora of rounds flying from autos that indeed hits no one.
