I just thought of a good one.
Sometimes in action movies, someone will shoot their opponents gun out of their hand, but the gun will remain undamaged, and the person won't take any injury, though they may pretend to take some form of injury or just go Macaulay Culkin and look in awe at their gun which has disappeared. How in the HELL is this possible? It's not, that's how!

Let's not forget another classic Hollywood firearm myth; the fact that any gun from a .38 snub-nosed revolver to an M60 machine gun can cause a car to explode if shot in the fuel tank. This was actually addressed rather comically in "Last Action Hero" when Schwartzenegger was plugging away at an oncoming car expecting it to turn into a fireball but was shocked when it kept on going. Two other movie weapon faux pas involve hand grenades; namely the mistaken belief that it's possible to pull the pin wih your teeth and not suffer serious dental injury, and that a that a High-Explosive Fragmentation grenade is supposed to generate an almost Hiroshima-like fireball upon detonating, instead of a roughly medium-size dust cloud and a few scattered puffs of dust from fragments impacting the surrounding area.

I don't know if this one qualifies, but as I'm sitting here watching Tomorrow Never Dies, I can't help but be reminded how when the hero takes an assault rifle or SMG from a dead bad guy he/she just killed, they never seem to bother taking any extra ammo!

I also love how the folly editor always has to insert the sound of a hammer being cocked every time a pistol is drawn, even if it's a hammerless gun like a Glock or a Walther P99. More often than not, even when the gun is a model that has a hammer, you can tell that it hasn't actually been cocked. I was just watching a TV show where a bad guy pulls a Taurus PT92 on another character, and you hear the hammer get cocked into SA as he draws it, but you can clearly tell that the gun is still in DA mode.

I guess it's because theoretically, the bad guys are supposed to have unlimited ammo, too (unless, for the sake of plot convenience, they happen to run out just when the hero needs to shoot them). Last edited by MT2008; 10-19-2009 at 03:46 PM.
