The term “clips” for automatics instead of magazine. (FYI, it is a legit term for revolvers which use ‘moon clips’ as a type of speed loader.)
Never aim for the head? Really? Is a center hit certain to cause a fatality? I know that’s true for swordplay, but for a bullet?
Not entirely correct. My Kel-Tec P3-AT does not lock back after the last round.
How about a sniper pulling a scope out of a case and slapping it on a gun he never touched and being able to take out a target hundreds of yards away, no sighting, no alignment, etc.
Not if you've zeroed the scope to the correct distance.
In the otherwise entertaining 1958 movie The Lineup, the hitman played by Eli Wallach wielded a revolver with a silencer. But in Hollywood revolvers with silencers work!
The sound of a hammer being cocked back as the person draws a glock from the holster, and no, they didn’t even rack the slide.
The gun grabbers cling to the dramatic uses of firearms.
Hence the assult weapon effect. bad people have bad guns so good people must have the bad guns the bad people want.
1) The most cliche’d firearm abuse in movies and tv — the 20-shot revolver - which has morphed into the 200-shot UZI...
2) All those times a cowboy takes his Colt Army Cap ‘n Ball revolver out, and opens the loading gate to check his bullets.... (Yes, I know that it was common to convert cap&ball pistols to accept cartridges, but I’ve never heard of any of those conversions that incorporated a loading gate)
Don't some scopes have range adjustments that would put the crosshairs on the target?
How about a man - an apparent suicide thought to have shot himself in the mouth - found dead in a public park with almost no bleeding at the scene. And a perfectly clean gun, no blowback from the shot.
Ah but wait, the FBI say that that really happened. Silly me.
You might want to add to the list how after good guys and bad guys in a movie or TV show have fired God-knows how many rounds, that one or the other has their gun trained on one or the other and then practically whispers some snarky or profound comment to the other before firing the next shot.
Anyone who has ever fired a gun knows that without adequate hearing protection, your ears will suffer severe damage, temporarily or even permanently. That is why you will see law enforcement in real life shouting loudly after rounds are fired because otherwise no party involved may be able to hear well as well as wishing to be forceful and assertive.
Long story short, in reality, no good guy, after firing off rounds from his .45, 9 mm or .357 can expect the perp to hear him whispering “Do you feel lucky?”
For anyone that watches Anime or even some movies, anytime someone points a gun at someone, draws, or in any way moves a gun (or sword) in a purposeful way there is always a *kaclink* sound of metal on metal. It does not matter if the movement was tiny. It is just like the dubbed in *wham*s everyone adds for fist fights.
How about the term “Saturday night special”? I assume this is a .38 with some sort of timer that allows it to be used only between the hours of 6 PM and midnight on Saturdays.
The one gun gaffe I see abused the most is in Westerns where they use smokeless powder during their gunfights. Smokeless powder was not invented until 1884 and did not make it’s way out to the Wild West until the 1890s. The majority of westerns take place before the 1890s.
Mine is zeroed at 300 yards,Not if you are using a MilDot scope and
you know at what distanced it is zeroed.
I shoot below by 2 dots at 100 yards
