Ones that come to my mind about actors having actual skills with firearms (I'd like to point out I am no expert in this matter): Thomas Jane, Mark Wahlberg, Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt and Kevin Costner to some extent.

I'd say only Brad Pitt, Kevin Costner, and Bruce Willis deserve the mentions, as they actually still use firearms training they recieved in the past and continued to use it in other films. Thomas Jane still has yet to prove himself after learning so much for his training in The Punisher. Mark Wahlberg doesn't handle guns well. Look at Max Payne, he learned so much for Shooter and didn't use any of it. I think he is against guns too, so I don't like him.

I think the actors of the Stargate TV series might be trusting to handing guns with in the later seasons. The actors doing the movie Miami Vice, SWAT, The Kingdom showed the actors doing some extensive training. Tom Hanks did a lot of real training during Saving Private Ryan.

In stargate the muzzles are constantly pointing at other people, like their commanding officers lol, not to mention teal'c and the dual wielding

Even though I find Tom Cruise to be kind of a soup sandwich, his gun handling was excellent in Collateral. He was definately well trained and remembered the training well.

I was also impressed by Keanu Reeves and the fact that he wanted to be trained for Street Kings so he could be a more convincing character. He learned well too, I found his gun handling to be superb in Street Kings.

It was, the gunfire itself was weak though, a 4506 indoors is not a popgun. He sed good grip, stance, aimed, everything though, and it was a good movie

Yeah the gunfire really annoyed me. The first time I watched it and heard the .45 making that small popping sound, I was like, "WTF??!!"

The duel wielding with Teal'c is to be expected. The character wasn't an Earth trained soldier, he wouldn't know how to properly hold a gun from our planet, so can't blame him

[k9870]

Well, he has been on earth like 10 years in that show. You ever look where mzzles are pointing though, there aimed at everyone, bad guys, friendlies, each other.....Although i must say i love the show

Given the nature of the game that influenced it, you can't really blame Wahlberg for Max Payne. On top of that, how many "shoot-em-ups" has he done since Shooter? Same thing goes for Tom Jane.
