Firearm Sins in Movies

Some models of Glocks have manual safeties.

Awww, sweetie...Look at you trying!! That's so special! Good job!!
But we're talking about this specific Glock portrayal in this specific show, and if you actually watched the short snippet you'd see that this Glock is not one of those. Bless your little heart.

Looks Finnish to me.

Just watched it again. The goofy accent, the mustard copper uniforms, definitely Finnish.

Can I help in any other way?

I always loved the old Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone movies. Never a reload. 50 guys shooting full autos at you in the wide open and never hit. But let them pull the trigger and down goes 50 bad guys per 30 round mag. Still watch them any chance I get to.

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.

Oh how I loathe this one. As a happy Glock owner, I can't help but cringe in fury when I hear the "hammer" cock back. Another one of my favorites is when a shell is loaded into a chamber time after time with no shell or casing thrown when the slide is pulled. How many shells can fit it that thing???

One of my favorite "you goddabekiddingme" moments was the first episode of the TV show "Nikita" where a guy and Nikita continue to draw on each other, and every time they raise their pistols, one handed, you can hear the slide racking. You can see the pistol coming up, one handed, the free hand at their sides, yet the sound of the slide racking each time was enough to make me turn the show off.

One of the few more realistic pistol uses I have seen, and I wish I remember which show it was, but some female finds a pistol in a room, racks the slide and a round comes flying out, shocking her. One of the few realistic scenes ever!

I also like the ones where the cops pull out their semi-autos in their cars and rack the slides, then run up to the door about to be breached, and rack the slides again and again no round comes out!

Walking Dead is full of gun sins, but it's still fun.

One of my favorite action movies of all time is John Woo's "Hard Boiled".

I love in this shootout how the main character's shotgun behaves more like a grenade launcher when he uses it. Especially the one at 50 seconds in.

In the movie Equilibrium one of the Sweepers uses a Walther WA 2000 to execute poor little puppies. He imitates a shotguns pump actions complete with shotgun sounds and all.

Starts at 35 Seconds in

It isn't much of a sin/failure, but I was always irked that a crack commando unit sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit was never able to kill a bad guy, no matter how many rounds sent downrange.

A combination of ethics and firing for effect.

At the end of the second "GI Joe" movie "GI JOE: RETALIATION", The Rock's character is given a pistol by Bruce Willis's character after some award ceremony near or on the national mall. The Rock digs the pistol out of the display box by putting his finger through the trigger guard and squeezing it towards the grip. He then points it kind of upish and out front and pops a round off. You don't see where the round goes, but by the rest of the scene, it heads somewhere generally towards the Washington Monument.


Crap man, I'm not against people making action movies, but at least handle the guns reasonably. I don't expect people to be perfect, but there's no reason it has to be that bad.

Hey now. That one is possible, as long as their is no mag in it. Of course that's not what happened in the movie is it?

Got to love those movie guys that know nothing or seem to know nothing when it comes to guns lol

When someone runs out of ammo and every trigger pull makes a click, and its not a revolver.

One of my favorites was in Under the Dome. The kid, Jr., has a pump shotgun pointed at his father. The father says something the kid doesn't like so he pumps it and no round comes out. So he's wanting to pop his old man with no round in the chamber. A little bit later the same thing happens. Pumps it and nothing comes out. So not only was the chamber empty the first go around, but the magazine tube is empty. Another guy bursts into the room saying "I'll shoot him!" and the kid pops that guy with a shotgun that is suddenly loaded.
