‘The Walking Dead’ Weapons: Daryl Dixon’s Crossbow – Shoot to Kill The Walkers
Sometimes even animals, particularly squirrels, and the bad guys are shot down by Daryl Dixon's crossbow. Norman Reedus' bada**ery on the show, "The Walking Dead," is top-notch, and he is one hell of a zombie slayer. Thanks to his buddy, the crossbow, he kills the walkers quietly without inviting other zombies.
"Men's Health" magazine helped us know the crossbow used by Dixon. He used a Stryker StrykeZone. During the initial seasons, he wielded a Horton Scout HD 125.
Wet Paint in a post collected these funny yet appropriate crossbow ratings via Amazon. Have a look.
"This weapon is excellent for both hunting and taking down walkers without attracting too much attention. With re-usable ammunition it's less of a waste on resources than firearms. It's quiet enough that I could bring down dozens of squirrels and even a deer without attracting the attention of the walkers," Ryan Romel, an Amazon user, wrote.
Another review that gave the crossbow 1-star rating, yeah 1-star (you will know why). "[This] thing is absolutely dangerous. All my friends have been massacred. Sure it's a good shot but I am not looking forward to being shot in the head. Keep it away from children and rednecks. Uuuuurrrrggggaaaaahhhhrrrrlll," Walker said. Yes, the Walker dudes are also into online shopping and reportedly they are mighty Amazon fans.
These crossbows are ridiculously tough to wield and load. Due to the tension of the string, the bolts are loaded mechanically. Even the Stryker doesn't load easily.
"We take it back like Daryl's got some superstrength," Norman Reedus said.
Norman went to explain that the arrows on "The Walking Dead" are digital. The bow is not even strung and if it is, it is done loosely.He
He currently owns not one but four crossbows from "The Walking Dead" show. Indeed, this is one of the benefits of being Daryl Dixon.
