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.

Right because a lever-press and one of the
literally billions of empty cartridge casings that should be laying around ankle deep covering the entire globe are completely fucking impossible to acquire and utilize.
Note I'm not cursing
at you nor getting mad at you, it's just...there's some stuff that defies common sense. I'm not a "gun guy" nor an anti-gun guy (I own a .38 5 shot revolver), I don't go to gun shows or stores, etc. But back in the 90s I knew more people who reloaded their own ammo than didn't, of the people I knew who owned guns. Let's go over that again: more people who reloaded their own than did not.
This is...this is like Jericho overcoming its power problems not with windmills but by putting everyone in town on a huge treadmill made out of every scrap of fabric in town, sewn together with sinew from every horse they could find and slaughter.
To quote the great Harrison Ford in the even greater
Blade Runner : "I was quit when I came in here. I'm twice as quit now."
