I'm not defending the show, because it's beyond that and I stopped watching after episode 3, but I think the explanation they gave for the use of muskets is the scarcity of cartridge-type ammo. The baddie lieutenant gave a cliche speech to a man he was interrogating about how rare "modern" bullets were before he loaded one into his revolver and then executed the prisoner. I guess the idea is all the "modern" ammo got used up pretty quickly when things got nutty after the power went out. I guess after 15 years of chaos, it sort of makes sense.
But still, that show is pretty much unwatchable.
