There is no more fun than having live targets for shooting practice.
Something that always gets me in movies and TV dramas, is when the city blocks are cordoned off, SWAT is on site, the snipers in place, the assault team in place, several hundred cops with shotguns, and ARs and pistols in place, the bad guy or guys inside the building, and the Chief, or negotiator with the microphone and in total safety and out of any useful position for shooting, feels the need to have his own 38 pistol drawn and at the ready.
That always amuses me, I guess it is more realistic than I realized.
