  How many times in any paranormal themed story, especially zombie themed ones, how you seen the heroes for some reason have unlimited bullets in a pistol or gun?  If the answer is The Walking Dead, you are half right.  The Walking Dead does this a lot, and so do a lot of other stories.  For some reason, writers have to give the heroes unrealistic immunity by letting any firing weapons they have contain thousands upon thousands of bullets.  Not only does it make the characters overpowered, but it is a really bad cliche.  Really, the solution to the problem is so easy, and that is to show the characters reloading their weapons at some point.  I don't know why this cliche happens so much.
