Can’t decide between a gun and a melee weapon in? Here’s a simple rundown for both options.MELEE WEAPONSThe Pros: Melee weapons, used in hand-to-hand combat, are excellent for striking walkers. The BASEBALL BAT is the easiest to use and the AXE offers a good chance of killing the zombie the first turn.
You can also use fun IMPROVISED weapons like a cast iron frying pan — who wouldn’t want to hit a zombie with one of those?The Cons: There’s no hiding when using melee weapons; you’ll need to be very close to a walker to kill it. The KNIFE is difficult to use and your chances of killing the zombie the first time are very low.GUNSThe Pros: Guns are not just for shooting; they can all be used to strike zombies so you save on ammo. The SHOTGUN is the easiest to use and offers the highest chance of shooting the zombie the first turn.
The RIFLE is powerful at long-range and gives you the most room between you and walkers.The Cons: You’ll need to be careful as the sound of gun shots will lure more walkers towards you. The PISTOL is the hardest gun to master and you may not kill the zombie the first time around.

In 'Walk With Me' (S3E03), he keeps the pistol in a crossdraw holster and is first seen using it when confronting a group of National Guard survivors. He also notably uses the pistol in 'When the Dead Come Knockin' (S03E07), 'Made To Suffer' (S3E08), 'The Suicide King' (S3E09) and 'This Sorrowful Life' (S3E15).
In 'Walk With Me' (S3E03), Shumpert the Bowman is armed with a bolt-action rifle. Colt M4A1rifles, being rare in previous seasons, are now more common and being seen used by several of the survivors in Season 3. Since Rick's group didn't have these rifles at the end of Season 2, it is likely they acquired them in the interim between Season 2's end and the beginning of Season 3, a gap of several months. Hershel can be seen using one in 'Seed' (S3E01).
An M4A1 is also found among the weapons in the prison in 'Seed' (S3E01) and is briefly handled by T-Dog. In 'Walk with Me' (S3E03), M4A1s are carried by the Woodbury guards as well as Georgia Army National Guard soldiers, Merle also fires one fitted with a makeshift suppressor. Other M4A1s seen in the series so far include at least one with an M203 grenade launcher attached, one fitted with a makeshift suppressor in use by the Woodbury guards, and flattop M4s used by the National Guard survivors. Rick is seen using the M4A1 in 'Made to Suffer' (S3E08) and both him and Maggie are seen firing it in 'The Suicide King' (S3E09). Michonne uses the rifle in 'Home' (S3E10).

Steyr AUG A1The Governor opens fire with a A1 in 'Home' (S3E10), hitting one of the prison survivors in the head (an impressive shot, considering it was done at a long distance with a 1.5x magnification scope).
Despite his right eye being useless, he still fires right-handed instead of left. The weapon is likely meant to be a full-auto conversion of an AUG SA, a semi-automatic variant of the A1 which was imported to the US for civilian use before being banned in 1989.
Fully-automatic AUGs are extremely rare in the United States, as unlike the M4A1 they are not military issue and are not used by any law enforcement entities apart from US Customs and Immigration Enforcement. The civilian variant of the AUG is the STG-556 which has a different design than the A1. He later uses the rifle in 'Welcome to the Tombs' (S3E16).

Machine Guns Browning M2HBA machine gun is mounted on a National Guard HMMWV that the Governor brings back to Woodbury in 'Walk With Me' (S3E03). It appears to be a mockup identical to the one was fitted on the fake M1 Abrams tank in. The heavy machine gun is later seen again in 'Prey' (S3E14) being removed from storage and mounted on the HMMWV to be used as a mock technical by the Woodbury army. The Browning here is an actual machine gun as Bowman opens fire on walkers with it in the Season 3 finale 'Welcome to the Tombs' (S3E16). When Allen attempts to fire the machine gun, it appears to have jammed and is thus abandoned.
