I had one written with 11 much more relevant and informative myths (and it was funnier too) but they denied mine because this one was accepted before mine and the topics were "too close" to one another. Pissed me off, it was a good article. :mad:

No, that was the top 10 mall ninja guns page, which is actually a topic written like an article (because I didn't know how to write articles at the time).

This was something new I was working on, had it saved for quite a while and by the time I figured out how to publish an article, it wouldn't be okayed because something else similar was written, which I argue is not really very similar, as I had totally different goofs in addition to the ones he had, meaning I had a more complete article (like bullets launching people in the air, no recoil, using guns akimbo, ammo capacity, how loud guns are, etc.)

They should have also noted the size of "silencers" used in films. Real ones are usually larger than the guns themselves.

Post up your article if you can. Even though it wouldn't be on a fancy web page, would still be a good read.

As far as gun recoil in films. I think if actors trained with live rounds they would be much more appreciative and respectful too. (But that would be extremely costly.) The only actors that I can think of that will actually fake the recoil are Eastwood and Costner. I also think Hanks faked the recoil at the end of Saving Private Ryan with his 1911. There could be a few others as well.

I shall do that when I have more free time, still taking regents/final exams for school this week. x P. I'll post 1-11 each in seperate posts since the word limit will surely not allow me to post the whole article in one post.
