TV and Movies inaccurate Gun portrayal and use

[jgeebs413]

I thought this would be kind of fun to post things you notice that are clearly inaccurate or just misinformation. I haven't seen any other dedicated links to this. #1 Law and order and someone was using a Desert Eagle and shooting rapidly all on target with very little recoil and the female detective questioned her about the pistol and mag and when person said had a "'clip" with 13 or 14 rounds detective said that's pretty much an assault weapon. #2 walking dead and one of the guys on there was shooting an AR/M16 with fixed front A frame sight and no rear sight at all and right on target. Share em if you got em.

Wouldn't a known ACCURATE tv or movie gun portrayal be more interesting? 99% are inaccurate.

You duped me but better description glad to see someone else was paying attention to the finer details

I wish that occasionally, on one of those shows that always has a creep grabbing a woman to do something horrible to, the woman would pull a j-frame out from under her shirt and blow the guy away.

+1 for the gun carrying public!

I love the show 'falling skys' where they make 'mech bullets' from some sort of special metal that instantly shoots through anything... and that everyone in Ma has full auto AK's....

The scene from "Platoon" when they were shooting the M60 with blanks.

The first and second seasons were awful, but it's recently gotten much better, IMO.

Liam Neeson's pistol in taken 2, it has unlimited ammo.

I was watching X-Files last night. Scully and Mulder get stopped by some shady agents. When they took their weapons they took the mag out of Scully's handgun and there were no bullets in it.

Saw a good one on Netflix: The Veteran.

Open Range

Open range - final fight.
SAA with 9 shots or more

Some of the old westerns when the good guy was unarmed and starts a fist fight, then in the next scene while still fighting the gun appears in the holster. BONANZA rings a bell.

Semi autos always go "click,click,click" when empty and slide is locked back on empty magazine.

Lethal weapon. Mel's smiley face at 75+ ft. That's some good shootin'

Unfortunately, that isn't just in the movies. Had to start press checking pistols as new trainees came in due to an incident similar to what you describe.

@ 300 yards

Caught the end of 21 Jump Street last night. Aside from deplorable form the most offensive error is Tatum Channing attempting to fire a Glock that has apparently run dry (though slide is in battery). He go not one but TWO clicks from the firing pin. Magical.

I just re-watched the old Red Dawn a couple of days ago. Not one person ever changed a mag in that movie.

Why change a mag that never runs out of bullets?

I remember that...wasn't it the stereophonic something or other and it played music? That shouldn't cost 15k....lol

From one of the Death Wish movies Bronson fires 475 Wildey and no muzzle flash and no slide movement but a great big Kaboom thanks to the sound effects dept.
