Movies that feature a time before the 1890's and they are all shooting model 94 Winchesters.

In a Michael Pare' crime thriller, he enters an abandoned amusement park with a Glock 17L. When he enters the first tent, it's turned into a Glock 34. He then enters another room, now it's a Glock 17. Second tent, Glock 19. When he finally finds the bad guy, you guessed it, a Glock 26.

In the recent movie "End of Watch" with Jake Gyllenhal, they are running across a courtyard under a storm of gunfire from 3 fully auto AKs and not one bullet makes contact

I thought that as well. Then found sure-enough revolvers with real safeties. Don't recall brands and models offhand but the ones I've run across we're European... Maybe British... Found an "automatic revolver" also...

Heh -- that must be a trait of all semiautos in movies... I've seen 1911's do the same thing...

Revolvers with safeties and semi-automatic revolver...
http://www.thegunzone.com/webley-fosbery.html
Odds are that the movie hero/villain mumbling about his/her revolver safety or automatic revolver won't be shown with one of these...

Personally, I love it when the slide is clearly locked back and yet is still able to fire another shot!

i hate it when someone's M16 runs out of ammo and while the trigger is still being squeezed, you hear "clickclickclickclickclickclick"
its also annoying during a gun fight how rounds seriously miss their mark but as soon as someone hides around a corner, all the rounds coming their way misses their head by a few inches

Bullets being stopped by drywall, garbage cans, body of dead BG used as cover, etc.
I've lost count of how many times a guy survives a hail of machine gun and rifle fire buy hiding behind the BG he manged to circle parry and put between him and the shooters....very clever.

In the movie Pearl Harbor when the cook (Carter) was shooting at the Zero the AA gun's ammo boxes were closed.
After the plane crashes they pan back at him with his fist in the air, and the AA gun's ammo boxes are open.
When I would watch a movie with my wife. (who was not a gun person) I would ask her what kind of gun that was, and if she did not know I would tell her. After a year or two she could name just about every gun.

How about bullets that cause sparks to fly off of any surface they hit -- including wood, fabric, glass, etc.

Or the batting in couches and cushions, or a stack of pallets that my .22 could shoot through

Y'all must watch movies a lot closer than I do.
However I do remember one that always makes me smile. It's in the movie "Shenadoah" with Jimmy Stewart. In one scene "the boy" has gotten caught up with a Confederate Army unit. The Yankees are charging their position, the boy throws up his rifle, fires a shot, then flip open the trap and ejects a cartridge from his Trapdoor Springfield.
Oh well. Probably no one else noticed it, and those muzzle loaders are a lot of trouble on movie sets I'm sure. And the Trapdoor does LOOK a lot like a Springfield/Endfield Musket.

The Spaghetti westerns that over used the "bullet ricochet" sound effect. Was still fun to watch!

Good guy has a 2" snub nose revolver and shoots at the bad guy that is 100 yards away, positioned behind cover on the rooftop. Bad guy gets hit (really???) and then with the bullet's momentum he falls forward off the roof!!!
Physics don't work that way. 2" snubnose revolvers rarely (if ever) hit at 100 yards.
The only decent movie with realistic automatic weapons was Heat starring Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer.

Esp the hat shooting scene where Blondie is lighting up the townfolk at Tuco's hanging. Bullets must have been skipping off their scalps.

Speaking of The Walking Dead, did anyone notice the Maglite suppressor?
Aside from the fact that I have no idea how the slide would reciprocate with the Maglite attached.
I mean come on. This is America, In a zombie apocalypse you should be able to scavenge at least one quality suppressor from somewhere.

Lamp posts, telephone poles, car doors, all great cover & stop bullets.
Bullets that explode gas tanks, propane tanks, & light fires with spilled gas
Bullets that define physics, bend, shoot through the head of 8 people in a circle.

Not a mistake, but:

Check some old "John Wayne" movies......love the guy but when he shoots a pistol, his finger is all the way through the guard. The second joint of his finger pulls the trigger.

I guess I just pay a lot of attention to detail.
Just last night I was watching an episode of Lost, and a girls hair is in front of her left shoulder. It pans away, then back within a split second and now her hair is all behind her shoulder. Another pan, and it's back in front of her shoulder again, in the exact same way as the first time. She was seated inside so it's not like we have a lot of wind going on in this scene ...
Stuff like that bothers me

Since then, TWD seems intent on including at least one WTF? firearm moment in every episode - the most recent being a clearly bent rifle barrel. I swear they're doing it on purpose.

This had me laughing so hard.

I had forgotten about the slow burning powder. Makes perfect sense now!

I know no one carrying without a chambered round, and no one throwing away and wasting rounds unnecessarily.
Writers must be ignorant about everything they write. Very few shows seem to use experts for accuracy. I know about literary license but this is literary ignorance.

It would be so easy to make the show seem legitimate too. It's sad because all these idiots have to do is hire someone like me or most members on GT and bam, they'd have a show that's completely accurate when it comes to the simple function of firearms. Unfortunately it seems like writers just use guns as accessories for their shows and don't have an ounce of respect for them.
