Firearm Sins in Movies

[Tanfodude]

Just for fun (if not too lazy), describe or post a screenshot of a scene that's related to firearms.

Here's one: Scope cover see through.

Upside down scope (Flash Point);

I'm in to watch! I love these!

Last night, was watching Dexter, he retrieved a bullet from the wall and the caliber is supposed to be 9mm, the bullet looks bigger than 9mm (possibly .45?) and it did not flatten or expand.

Its TOTALLY accurate. It IS NYPD after all...

I guess it explains away their poor accuracy record?

Now. it. all. makes. sense.

I love The Walking Dead, but they've had a few doozies.

Here's one of my favorites.

Something tells me this guy wasn't taking out to many walkers.




Also, in "Leon: The Professional" the main character used a compensated Beretta with a suppressor?

 

[Tanfodude]

Now that you mentioned it; more from Leon, the Professional

Compensator plus Suppressor equals no flash......but

Or every time a character is using a glock and the gun makes a cocking hammer noise. That is like my huge movie gun hatred glocks dont have hammers so they cant make the noise sheesh.

Along with happygunner, a TON of movies and shows retrieve bullets from bodies and walls that look as if they were just pried from the brass.

I don't have a pic , but I am reminded of the movie Dutch. A movie so bad it was good. In it everything they shot this bb / pellet gun, the movie producers sub in the sound of brass hitting a concrete floor. Like a shell had been ejected from this pellet gun. Drove me insane.

I'd say that rifle could benefit from this...

Yep...Walking Dead did that in the first few minutes of the very first episode.
He also "made sure there was a round in the chamber"... You can clearly see it's empty.
What I don't understand about this scene is how he pulled the slide all the way rearward with an empty mag in the gun and it didn't lock open.

Liked how the safety was "clicked" off also!

Shouldn't the thread title be "Firearms sins in movies"?

Ummm, perhaps not. NYCPD-ESU has used occluded optics for some time, especially given their propensity to red dots and the environments that they are in.

Sometimes the sins are not sins it is just that INGO is not hip to the theology.

 

[Sgtusmc]

Takes 50 meter kill shot using only a front sight. (walking dead)

Yep.
Chamber check = Empty.
Safety check = Flips "thumb safety" off Glock.

Some models of Glocks have manual safeties. Popular in Finland as well as other places:
