Gun tropes that bug you in games/movies/TV

[MadMan66]

Local media here in Boston referred to ammo found at an Aarron Hernandez apartment as being for a ".45 caliber Glock" like the one used in the murder he is accused of.......
Didn't know ammo companies were making model specific ammo. Must be a niche market for the rich and stupid....

Maybe it was a .45 GAP (Glock Automatic Pistol) round?

Could they have meant ".45 GAP" ?

.45 GAP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fuggedabouddit, EnochRoot... You was scooped by a Madman, too!! lol

No GAP. Just local media and ignorance. The victim had a .45 round or 2 in him and the FORMER Patriot TE just happens to have .45 cal Glock. We know cause he posted Facebook pics.....



Edit: OK I learned something......didn't know there was a special Glock round. I thought that was a joke. ( Although I hear they once needed their own .40)

Could be what thye meant. Boston Media 1, Cygnus 0

Scooped by a Madman!! Dang it.

May be a first!

At least in the Banderas clip, he was only shooting twice before reloading the double barrel.

Jimmy Stewart going to fight the Seminole Indians during the Seminole Indian War in Florida ca 1840 and he has a cowboy hat, cowboy boots, a birchbark canoe, AND A COLT PEACEMAKER!!!!

Sorry

 

[JetGirl]

Yeah, you look real sorry about it. Hmphf.

Every gun scene in the movie "48 Hours" featured someone breaking all 4 rules at once.

And in one early scene the main cop, Nick Nolte, gets in a shootout with an escaped convict. The convict somehow gets Nolte's gun, shoots and kills two other cops with it and takes off.

Nolte goes back to the station to get some new guns. No investigation into the shooting that left 2 others dead. No reprimand for losing his weapon. No psych eval., nothing.

The whole movie made me cringe.

Close Quarters gun fighting with the pistol at full extension...
Speaking of Westerns, I love Winchester '73 with Jimmy Stewart, but throwing the gun up from a lateral position then quickly pulling the trigger - WTH?!
Rifle sounds from a shotgun and vise-versa...
Every missed shot is a ricochet,...
Throwing the muzzle at the target/bad-guy instead of aiming...

I love Gunsmoke - don't get me wrong - but Matt is slower than everyone, but he always wins. He's a full tenth or worse slower than the bad guy in the classic opener scene on all the 50's and 60's vintage shows.

I mostly see this in cartoons but it still bugs the crap out of me.

Family Guy- Peter takes out a double barrel shotgun breaks the action proceeds to loads 5 rounds into the barrels then closes the action and pumps the fore grip like a pump shot, then shoots 6 rounds semi auto.

This happens alot in modern cartoons. I never saw Elmer Fudd shoot more than 2 but I could be wrong.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

At the end of the new GI Joe movie when a character at some formal ceremony is presented with a handgun in a presentation box the character pulls the gun out of the box by sticking his trigger finger in the guard, makes a clever statement then pops off a round (presumably into the crowd at the presentation or just randomly downrange?). It's just awful.

Ugh pump side by side always makes me sick. I think somebody actually built one once though. It's nicknamed the Remington 1170 or something like that, and it's kind of no good for anything but screwing around with.

When someone runs out of ammo and they keep pulling the trigger and the hammer keeps falling.

 

[CPT Nervous]

The Simpsons are always good for that. Pump action double barrels, semi auto-bolt actions. You name it.

Every missed shot is a ricochet,...

I hate all the sparks in the ricochets too. Especially the bullets that bounce off railing. Someone fires 5 rounds at our hero in the stairwell and all 5 rounds spark and bounce of the railing. I'd like to know where to buy those magnetic flint bullets.
Bullets that ricochet off of cars without even scratching the paint.
Bullets that ignite anything even slightly flammable, mostly cars.

 

[kawtech87]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but dbrier's post made me think of it.

I hate it when somone in a movie shoots an Oxygen tank and it blows up like a freaking A-bomb. Oxygen by it's self is not really flamable

 

[eldirector]

I know it has been mentioned before, but..... all the extraneous noise from firearms. Racking slides (they all must sound like pump shotguns), cocking hammers (on striker-fired handguns), the random metallic sounds when someone draws a gun from a leather holster, ricochets after every shot (bang....pew!), etc... I know it is for dramatic effect, but it is SO fake.
