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.

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.)

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. Last edited by predator20; 06-16-2010 at 09:25 PM. |

![]() My response to No 1: He's right about the phew sound and tiny Suppressors being too small for their relative quieting power to a large weapon. But the author is full of shit on the rest. ![]() Also his crack about the decibels is also bullshit. It doesn't go down to just 120 decibels. I've fire MP5s (a full 30 round magazine) through a late model Gemtech suppressor and though I could hear the clackity clack of the bolt moving back and forth, it was pretty damned quiet. If I were firing from inside a car with the windows open, you'd hear NOTHING from 20 or more feet away. With the din of modern traffic or on the freeway, you WOULD hear nothing! And the new model Suppressors are pretty small compared to the monstrous two stage cans we had back in the 1970s/1980s. Okay. Back to reading the list. Just had to call bullshit on the very first myth. My Response to number 2: He's mostly right until he gets to this quote "In fact, a U.S. infantryman only carries 210 rounds total, which means a battle conducted with full-auto machine gun fire would be over in less than a minute even if you count the time it takes to switch magazines. Fortunately, they fire on full-auto so rarely that many of the military's rifles don't even have that capability." Well not quite true, at least for LMGs. I guess he also forgot that troops also carry Beta C Mags (which carry 100) if they want (some do but are rare) but back to overall ammo capacity: more commonly, troops have at least one guy carrying an M249 which has either a mini 100 round belt or the original 200 round belt (and another guy as ammo carrier). He also forgot about the M240 (or the M60 in older days) which again had multiple people carrying the ammo and thus would last longer than ONE freaking minute in a battle (not constant fire, but full auto bursts). The biggest problem with this sentence is that he states outright that most militaries of the world don't issue rifles that have full auto capability. WTF? Gee, and all this time I thought that my AR-15 under my bed had one less select fire setting than an M16 or M4, how stupid of me ![]() Last edited by MoviePropMaster2008; 06-17-2010 at 10:11 PM. |
