Yo Hange! How come you never cooked up anti-nape rifles? XD
Probably just technology differences between the people in and out of the walls. I mean as far as fire arms go in the walls, they mainly had hunting rifles, cannons, and the Anti-Personel buckshot guns. Semi-automatic pistols were already a completely foreign concept to them once they took the first Marley fleet. Then by the time they did start getting their technology updates, they'd already past the point of needing any real anti-titan weaponry.
That and anti-titan firearms probalby still aren't the most efficient weapon option against Titans, even Marley said it requires them to have a good opening to be of good use.
True. Still, they should've thought of stuff like Thunder Spears a long time ago. I know the government was hiding that stuff away but still. And those Thunder Spears are pretty freaking useless. XP

who knows, maybe whatever the yeagerbros will see in the memories will give zeke more reasons and motivation to carry out the euthanasia plan and at this point there wont be anything eren might do to stop him unless he has to resort to killing him.
but while Zeke isn't misunderstood per say but his perception is a bit skewered, he just doesn't see the entire picture from Eren's side of the spectrum. It's good to have both perspectives.
As for Zeke, I'm not against seeing both of their perspectives, but what I don't want is some sappy monologue from Eren, or some other hero, and have that be all it takes for Zeke to be all like "omg I was wrong, i see the light now!" like so many other anime and manga have done.
yeah. it will be too cliche and i doubt if Isayama himself is for that whole redemption issue seeing what happened to people like Annie, Rod, Bertoldt and Porco.
these homies were more or less the victims of manipulation and ideology of the society they belong to and were the ones who believed they were doing the right thing (Porco) or didnt have much of a choice (Bertoldt and Annie) but they werent giving a redemption and i'm okay with it tbh.
And thinking realistically, people like reiner and zeke are beyond and far from the point of redemption because they're too bent on their what they believe in and think is right. so the chance of zeke euthanising the eldians is still there, zeke might find more reasons to euthanise th eldians in the trip down memory lane.
If it is not redemption, then what should be, penance?

They didn't sufficient technology to make it. They do have thunder spears.

And those Spears have been pretty crap. XD
The spears work fine, they're more cumbersome but they do far more damage. The anti-titan rifle would do absolutely nothing against the Armored Titan or others that can harden their nape like the Attack, Female or Beast.
Wouldn't be so sure about that. For all we know the ammunition they use can be designed to be quite effective even against Titan hardneing. These effectively are armor piercing rounds after all.
Armor Piercing and Hollow Point aren't the same thing, in fact you sacrifice effectiveness against armor with hollow points because they're more fragile.
Also even if the rifle did pierce the titan's nape, unlike a pure titan the nape itself isn't the weak spot of a titan shifter. You'd need to hit the shifter himself in the head within the nape which is next to impossible since they're concealed within it. Magath couldn't manage this against Zeke even with a direct hit to the nape with a massive cannon.

If those Spears are so good, how come they've never scored a flat-out kill? XP That should've been Pieck's end right on the spot. Mikasa blew up Reiner point blank through the mouth. I get that these shifters are durable but seriously? XD But like I said, that definitely should've been Pieck's end.
