Films with realistic depiction's of firefights and shoot-outs

Not necessarily ridiculous. SOF (from what I remember) during the interview with Cameron noted that the Terminator was holding the weapons like they weighed nothing, indicative that the Terminator was super strong and not human. Also the article mentioned that Cameron had filmed the Terminator working on his guns (i.e. parts on the table) implying that he was converting the AR-180 to full auto fire in the hotel room. The only remaining shot was a scene where the audience can see some parts on the table. There was some thought (or Cameron made up some good excuses) for the gun unrealism

I like to think Terminators have no felt recoil, just so the movie seems more realistic. It'd be cooler if there was a special recoil adjustment system in their wrists so they could fire guns like Glocks without them jamming, but no film writer thinks that deep into it.

I'd like to see a Terminator fire a Browning M2HB with one out stretched arm! All it would take is some wire work but man would it show how impressive they are.

Browning M2HB... what would they grab on to, if firing with only one hand? If they grabbed one of the spade grips, it would surely rip off from the weight of the rest of the gun.

Hmmm, good point. I guess 120lbs is too much for the grips. It's still cool to picture though... Image wielding two none the less!
