Errors with firearms in TV and movies
Posted by weagle99 on 10/30/17 at 9:25 am612
I cat help but notice this stuff because I am interested in the field.
Some examples:
-unlimited ammo
-no recoil
-slide not moving on semi auto pistol
-Glocks making a cocking sound when pointed at someone
Not to pile on, the TWD episode last night was just ridiculous:
-bullets bouncing off car sheet metal (did you know the Ford Taurus was completely bulletproof?)
- bullets bouncing off roofing tin
- Morgan clearing a building with an uncocked pistol
- Shooting a person in the head so that blood is on the window behind them but the glass doesn’t break
Would be better if I didn’t notice these things I guess

scenes where shooters unload 40 or more rounds right at vehicles but never hit tires or the protagonists.

You want to know who has pretty good firearms folks?
Archer, the animated series. I noticed a couple of little things in the early episodes, but the attention to detail down the line has been pretty impressive. Now, as silly as the show is in some areas, their ideas about bullet trajectories and things like that should not be taken seriously.
But for such an unserious show, they take the firearm stuff very seriously.

I like how Archer counts his (and enemies) shots and pokes fun at others for not doing the same

Haven't watched the show, but that might be good film making? That could be how a girl with zero training handles a gun that is way too big for her.
To answer the OP. A Hawaii Five Oh episode. The other guy shoots around a corner of a building single hand firing a Desert Eagle.

i thought the same thing, but the guy she's with has 0 training as well and he has a passable grip

I remember the big zombie battle in an early season of the Walking Dead at the farm where Hershel was firing a shotgun that must have had 50 shells in it and the shotgun didn't recoil at all.

Penis factor?
The grown man next to her has at least held his own weiner many times. I HOPE that child in the pic has not held many if any.

My favorite firearm frickup that always happens in film is when a MFer gets an uzi and shoots full auto for like 30 seconds... most uzi’s shoot 32 rounds in about a second in a half
Honorable mention: everytime a gun is raised to eye level, it cocks (really pisses me off that everytime a confrontation happens, and there’s a shotgun involved, they insist on pumping it for some reason )

TWD is going to catch hell in here and I don't watch, so I can't dispute it.
However, they're not alone - by any stretch. Most films are atrocious, to the point where a realistic movie, say Heat, really stands out the other way.
The exceptions are the films and TV shows that get firearms right.
Collateral is another pretty good example of accurate firearm handling by characters who are supposed to be professional. (As with Heat, Collateral directed by Michael Mann who is a stickler for details like that - going all the way back to Miami Vice.)

Correct. I doubt movies are made with gun enthusiasts in mind

Im ok with a gun with a silencer making no noise in a movie. It just annoys me when a complicated plan hinges on the gun being silence. Because then i cant appreciate the plan...because it would have failed IRL the minute you shoot the gun.

You always see people shooting a padlock off in a one shot but I remember those Master lock commercials where they would show their lock getting shot, and have a big hole all the way through it, and they still hold.

Random fact: you can pop those locks off with just two hammers... requires very little effort

That's how they gripped guns in the 80s!

Everyone is always racking the autos...to make that cool sound...they rack it as they are getting dressed in their house and then they rack it again a few hours later when confronted with some bank robbery. So now you just ejected un unused round from your chamber.
Also, everyone always cocks a revolver as if it's the Old West and every revolver is a single-action.
