I remember watching the remake of "House On Haunted Hill" on tv a few years back, and there is a scene where they are given pistols, SIGs, or lookalikes. They are discussing how they can't tell if the pistols are loaded with blanks, or not because the magazines are welded to the pistol. I'm yelling at the tv, that they're auto-loaders! Just push the slide back slightly, and look at the cartridge. Either the person that wrote that doesn't know anything about pistols, or he didn't care.
One of the boldest scenes had to be in "Phantoms". There is a scene in the Police station where they are talking about how the dead Deputy fired his weapon, and they show the expended rounds. Three expended blank rounds, not expended 9mm's casings, but blank rounds!
