Well, that does bring to mind the myth that you could fire a bullet without having a barrel at all [as per Shoot 'Em Up, Volgin in MGS3, etc]; that could be addressed.

Well he was struck by lightning and on fire, so the rounds would cook off, but have no velocity or accuraccy at all. Since they were on a crossed belt links, the bullets were right up against him though, so I think that would work like seen.

In Shoot 'Em Up though, that was just ridiculous.

Volgin fires them just like in Shoot 'Em Up several times during the game, holding them between his fingers and using his powers to make them cook off. That's why he has those belts of ammo in the first place.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. My bad. My PS2's been broken for almost a year, and I'm too broke to buy a PS3. One day I will play MGS4!

There was a old thread made by MPM that said that he wanted to make a "Myth" Page. I say we do it. Explain all the gun errors in Movies and Videogames. Don't forget Television too.

Is it possible to prevent a pistol from cycling by holding down the slide?

Yes, but it'll hurt like hell. My mom accidentally did that with her Remington 1100 20 Gauge once. She rested her thumb on the bolt when she fires.

But there's also the chance the slide breaks your finger first. Like my friend claims a guy once shot a Glock, and rested his thumb on the flat back of the slide. He claims it broke his thumb, and it sounds somewhat believable.
