People who don't know guns

[Excalibur]

I remember coming across people who would mistake what a gun is they see in a magazine or in a movie, but to people who knows guns, you get that "How can you not tell?" feeling every time it happens.

Example, when I over heard a chat between 2 of my classmates while I was selling books. Some magazine they were reading and they mention AK47. Obviously since it was loud enough for me to hear, I had to look over and plainly see the page of a hot chick wearing a bikini and clutching an M4A1. I corrected them on the spot. It was an instinct thing.

One of the worse incidents with me was when me and my friend watched the 2005 King Kong remake and because he played the first couple Call of Duty games too much, he actually thought the Tommies with their 50 round drums were actually PPsh-41s, the SMG of the Russians during WWII. I kept telling him no, but my pal was kinda stubborn to be corrected by me.

I also remember a scene from the TV show Flashpoint, the episode in the hospital, the dialogue was realistic in terms of how an average gangbanger isn't gun knowledgable when he said that the police had AKs when they really have MP5s.
