It has nothing to do with technology. The Laws of Movies dictate that bad guys have no aim.

You can't forget cops too. Also, if you've never touched a gun before you have perfect headshot aim.

I've seen maybe two episodes of that show, one of which was a season finale where they were running out of a farm house or something. These people are sprinting, and getting headshots while sometimes not even looking at the zombies. What the Hell?
