They were. Didn't you recognize the stock sound library gunfire in the final shootout? One of the automatic weapons in that scene (can't remember which) made a sound effect that I know I've heard in countless other movies.

That's very difficult to do. Think about the process Steve described. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to get microphones in enough places at the shooting location to capture the gunfire adequately? Chances are, it wouldn't come out right, and they'd have to re-dub it later, and then it would be a wasted effort.

The exception might be a city street with lots of tall buildings where the sound can reverberate easily, as in "Heat".
