The law of guns in movies

[k9870]

Getting shot in the arm, leg and shoulder are not serious wounds

the femoral artery will bleed out just as quick as the jungular, the shoulder has a lot of small bones and nerves and will take a while to heal. Also, people dont get hit by a bullet, stop all forward motion, and go down like a rock isnstantly. The human body can hold in there a while. Especially with adrenaline blocking out pain.

I think most of us know that. That's the point, in gun movies, none of that ever happens to the human body

Rule:

Main character will do a raid with just a pistol and sometimes body armor worn over clothes, while the rest of their team wears tacgear, mp5s, m4s, etc.

Too many shows to count, 24, numb3rs, etc are the violators i can think of right now

[Excalibur]

When in full gear, a main character would take off his helmet and that would be the signal for "it's on now."

The best way to fire a pistol is to hold it sideways,or upside down,than spray and pray.
Handguns always make the cocking sound whenever they are drawn or pointed at someone.This is most amusing when it's done with a Glock or other hammerless weapons.
After firing about 400 rounds from an SMG or an assault rifle(from a single magazine of course), the next time they are aimed at the main villain/hero it will make a loud click sound,preferably multiple times(this does not count for DA/DAO handguns )

Uses a S&W? Not a minor character or Dirty Harry? Guaranteed death before the third act

In most action movies

1. Bulletproof vests are magical force fields.
2. Shotguns make you fly.
3. Gunshot wounds to the arms, hands, feet, shoulders, or legs are not that serious.
4. "Clips"
5. Poor trigger discipline
6. Poor handgun grips
7. Dual wielding anything is more effective.
8. Richocet sparks (sometimes on wood)
9. Unlimited ammo with no magazines
10. Shooting from the hip with machines guns or rifles.
11. Suppressors on weapons make them completely silent.
