5) and, why the hell didn't Angel take a different weapon from the rack once he found out his own was faulty??? (KC...?)

The weapon discipline that the military instills in you. The Marine Corps Rifleman's Creed isn't just for Marines, many soldiers take it that seriously too. Not saying that Angel was that hardcore but "My Rifle" is still a very personal thing.

So personal that even in video games, I had a hard time of it, dropping my rifle and picking up another weapon with more ammo. Wasn't even consciously doing it either. Until I started getting owned and realized what I was doing.

There is also the factor of zeroing the weapon. All the other rifles were either Mechanical Zeroed or zeroed to someone else. Sure, in theory, you can take your zero numbers and apply them to a new weapon, but it doesn't always work that way. My own zero has varied over time from rifle to rifle. Especially when I switched from shooting right to left handed. (6 Up & Center)

To properly zero a new/different rifle, or your own after significant repairs, you have to go to a known distance range with zero targets. There was plenty of time for this once the tower was secured, but initially, not so much.

I was in the army for 3 years, yet I still would have replaced a weapon that wasn't firing and possibly needed repairs that considering the circumstances (zombie apocalypse) I just wouldn't be able to do with one that just needed to be zero'd. I do get where you're coming from though and with that explaination I can forgive Angel now, but just a little bit. I can see where he initially may have thought it was just gummed up and would be fine after cleaning. (But did he clean it then while waiting in the armoury??? I don't think he did...bad bad soldier).

Edit: I forgot, I owe you another rep for that because it was a pretty good answer.

I think that was the point we were supposed to take from that whole exchange. Really differentiate the "good soldiers" in Michael and Saul with the Mr butter bars, Angel. It also set up more character development when they first worked on clearing the Tower lobby...

I really disliked Angel for the first few chapters. By the middle of Season 1, I liked him more...

Speaking of Season 1, here's a trivia question for some REP:

What saved Saul and Lady when the Hybrid was destroyed (preferable answer has a brand name)?

Robzombie got it! "a bottle of Middleton Whisky"

2B Angel's choice of apartments.
2G Gina's apartment. Mr Whisker's was found there.
4C Mr Abernathy's apartment. The large women's clothes were found in there.
6G (UGH!!!! Cheryl's apartment?) Just kidding, is this where the zip-line from the Tower starts?

3 out of four aint bad. +rep
6G was one of the only appartments left with a door. It's where Riley and the gang were trying to hide when Michael, Lizzie, Saul, Angel and Burt get back to the tower.
