Not really a plot hole, but it annoys be to no end how terrible bad guys always shoot in movies. If I had an automatic weapon, I could easily kill all the good guys, especially considering all the chances they get.

Worse than that is how guys in movies never put a bullet in the chamber until they're face-to-face with the bad guy. The sound of them cocking/loading the gun may be a great sound effect for all the people who've never shot a gun, but for me it's just annoying and unrealistic. Particularly with pump shotguns. I mean, if you don't have a shell in the chamber until you start the gunfight, you only get 3 shots instead of 4 (or 2 shots instead of 3, whatever).

Not as mean with this since 90% of people haven't shot guns.

I love when people are shooting at each other with handguns from 40ft away one-handed

It annoys me too, but I've always thought of it like this: the person having the gun pointed at them doesn't know the gun has an empty chamber. The chambering then leaves no doubt as to what's going to happen next. Also, what about double action pistols? Can fire with or without cocking the hammer.
