    QUESTION...is it possible..to pull the trigger on a silenced weapon twice (across a darkened church) and hit two fingers and blow them away?

    Or is this TWD artisiic licence again

    Pretty near impossible, especially with a silencer picked up somewhere and put on a weapon you've have no time spent with before hand. A head shot on the first shot from over 20 feet with a hand gun is not guaranteed, especially not the way Rick shoots which is one handed, one handed would be near impossible except for a professional who is practicing regularly. Add in 2 quick head shots makes the odds even worse.

    Everybody on TWD is a crack head shot.
    But hey, it's fun to watch!

    I figure if Rick, being zip tied and 30 seconds from getting his throat slit, can make a threat to kill his captor with a very specific weapon - and carry through - shooting fingers off in the dark is all in a day's work.

    So hawt

    If I was aiming for something else, it may be possible

    Difficult? Yes.

    Impossible? No. Go on youtube and watch some videos about Jerry Mickulek and Bob Munden. Nothing is impossible.

    and iirc it was only one shot to take both fingers. I'm no ballistics expert. But I've seen bullets do some pretty f*cked up things to a deer. I'd buy it.

    Why would it matter if it was silenced or not? If your a good enough shot, you'd hit the fingers. A silencer doesn't have anything to do with accuracy. If anything it improves it because it acts as a muzzle break.

    Plot twist: He pulled the trigger by accident, didn't even mean to shoot but took Gareth's fingers off and accepted his badass mistake.

    He was going to shoot him in the knees and bash his face in with a crowbar.

    Maybe because a silencer makes it harder to aim? Because you can't line up that little notch thingy with your target? I'm just guessing here, I've never even touched a silencer in my life. I'm not even sure I've ever been in the same room with one.

    I would think that those baseball bat silencers they had the beginning of last season would wreak havoc with accuracy... but they looked cool and I liked to see them using what they had to make do.

    He was a sheriff lol. Typically, they train you how to aim.

    My favourite example of what a sniper can do.

    Warning: Commentary is extremely irritating.

    Though I doubt that even RMFG is that good.

    If you mean Gareth it was one shot. If you mean the other guys I think rick didn't shoot them

    I thought that too, but I need to do another pass on that scene to be sure... All the shots heard in the church sounded as if they were supposed to be silenced shots and I do not recall anyone but Rick having a silencer attached. But Glenn did pick up three of them earlier, so maybe one of the people who were given pause by the brutality aided in those first shots (Tara is a pretty good candidate, since she is a good shot.) I will reserve judgment that Rick can clean house solo with a gun until I can further assess if anyone else had silencers. I am pretty sure Abe and Michonne were silencer-free, but need a better look at everyone else's firearms.

    I re-watched this scene several times and the only one's who had suppressed/silenced weapons were Rick, Sasha and Glenn. Sasha had the night scope rifle, so she most likely took at least one of the first two shots. imo

    Abe, Michonne and Tara definitely not, and Maggie had a shotgun.

    I worked in this town (Dublin OH) and was just a couple miles away when (and where) this happened, it was big news all over the tv at the time.

    I was going to say that very thing. Unless that is a flash surpressor, we know where each of the silencers wound up. Thank you.
