Yeah, scratching Revolution from my list. That series wasn't anything it was cut out to be. And seriously? Flintlocks? Really? What happened to the numerous iterations of the Kalashnikov? Or the guns American families are so fond of keeping in their homes? And you choose to use flintlocks, the least useful weapons since the 19th century. Allrighty then. What, you robbed a museum or something? A museum that miraculously had this amount of fully working flintlock guns? Yep, this is a way more plausible scenario than, you know, using modern guns. Because obviously those don't work without electricity and are way less in numbers than antiquities.

Rant over. Fuck sake.

I agree with you about the antique guns, but my guess is the explanation will be because many of the modern tools used to make guns or ammo used electricity. How many of the tools that could make modern weapons and ammo exist today that don't use it? I do like that they kinda went Civil War era type weapons in some cases even the swords and sabers bit.

The swords and sabers I can understand, that's just conserving ammo. BUT, considering the ridiculous amounts of weaponry and ammunition existing in this world at this moment I can't believe people would go through every bullet in 15 years. What more, the chances of even finding one, let alone enough to equip a whole army with, flintlock guns that still work are ridiculously low. Besides, look at I am Legend, Last of Us and Land of the Dead. All of those are more than 10 years after everything went to shit and they still have modern guns, which I find way more believable than what this show has. Also the main character's (?) potential love interest was so obvious in everything he did that I got insta-bored.
