Will not watch movies like that. They insult what little intelagence ,I have.

I'm finding 90% of television does that to me. But, I stIll find it amusing and somewhat entertaining.

Was just re-watching some John Wicks ever the Memorial Day weekend. This one's from JW3. Besides the obvious homage to Tuco . . . there was the scene with the doctor who, after treating John, asks John to shoot him because he gave assistance after 6:00. The doctor gives John a Bond Arms derringer . . . guess it was loaded with .45s and not .410s.

All Kate Jackson would've had to do is look at me, and I would've done whatever she said...gun or no gun!!! 😉 🤣🤣

Absolutely! And that means today.

My wife and I have been watching "Mobland". In a recent episode, a guy puts a 50 cal Desert Eagle on a guy's heart and pulls the trigger. Rather than the receiver being blown to the other side of the room, he has a look on his face like "what was that? did something happen?"

Now, I've never been shot with a 50 cal so I don't know for sure but I figure a 500 grain projectile moving at +1200fps is gonna do more than tickle. 😂

When they shoot in a building. They act like it is not a big deal. Any one that has shot indoors, knows how loud it is.

Black Hawk Down has 1 memorable scene where 2 soldiers get kinda separated and lost. 1 shoots right by his comrades head, ringing his bell. Thought it was a nice touch of realism.

Pretty much top of my list for Hollywood gun idiocity is the sideways pistol hold. First noticed it in a Mexican cops and robbers film back in the '70s. More recently by George Clooney in "From Dusk Till Dawn".

Hey that was a cinematic masterpiece with Salma Hayek

Edit - misspelled her name

Yeah that was some memorable table dance.

Selma SALMA Hayek

FIFY!

In the movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. There's several scenes where the soldiers are running down the street, some carrying suppressed rifles and others are not, unfortunately, the sound effects sometimes had the suppressed weapons sounding very loud and the unsuppressed were quiet.

That wasn't the actors fault. Someone in editing wasn't paying attention.

I would like to get some of those 30 round AR15 mags that The Walking Dead have. They can get 2-300 rounds without changing mags.
Plus the old guy (Virgil) had a standard tube (5rnds) 870 he could fire 25-20 rounds through without reloading. Well I will give them credit he did work the pump with each round

There is a scene where 2 factions get into a close range firefight. Every gun is a full auto including the M1A. They have ARs, AKs, M1As, and other full auto semi auto guns non of which can penetrate the cars they stand behind plus they all sound the same.
One guy fires at another and when he opens fire his target ducks after the round goes off and avoids being hit. Must be a super ninja.
I also wonder how someone wouldn't point out with no ammo being made and zombies needing one round in the head how it would make sense to not go full auto on each walker but hey when your 30 round mag holds 300 or so rounds why not!!!!!

Rule #2 from Zombie Land
Double Tap - In those moments when you're not sure the undead are really dead dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets.

For the four people in the known universe that do not know about Harry Potter,

I know it's from last month but, there's 6 of us. Don't have any interest to know either.

There was a professional hunter in Africa. Peter Hathaway Capstick. In one of his books he's talking about hunting dangerous game. And he mentions that even though the 600 nitro he was using cost $5 a shell, shoot it again. You shoot the buffalo, and he's down, and you really don't want a wounded buffalo to get up, put another one of them $5 shells in his head.

I was watching an NCIS rerun the other night. They are in Russia, trying to make it to the Finland border. They're being chased by the bad guy - Sergey. He's got four minions. Along the way Gibbs kills all four of the minions. And at the climatic scene, Gibbs and Sergey are standing in the road facing each other and they each draw and Gibbs fires and Sergey goes down. And Tony shows up in a jeep with a bunch of people from Finland, and it's all "get in the truck boss, we need to get back to Finland".

And I'm thinking, take an additional 5 seconds, walk over to Sergey lying dead in the road and put one in his head.

But he didn't, because they were in this big rush to get back to Finland. And apparently Sergey was wearing Kevlar.

If you're going to shoot somebody, you need to kill them. You should not be shooting at somebody unless you mean to kill them. And you need to make sure.

Main reason I caught it is that I recently bought a Grizzley . . .

That might be worth trying when shooting a pistol that throws the ejected cases far off into the weeds.

After all the work the author and writers did to create a nasty villain, does it make sense to waste all that effort and just let the villain die? He might be useful in another episode. NCIS did that on several occasions.

How about every tv show and movie where they get the BG down and run away leaving a usable gun just laying there. Half the time it'll get used on someone, or they're soon gonna wish that they had it!
