Default Lock & Load Montage scene

One of my favorite kind of scene in an action movie is when the characters select their guns, load their weapons and the cliche sounds of cocking and racking are music to my ears.

I think this is a staple of most action flicks.

Going back on my old topic since I didn't want to make a new one. The Lock & Load montage in movies. It consists of the hero gearing up for the big fight, preparing a multitude of weapons in anticipation of the need for More bang, and usually taken from a Wall Of Weapons. Usually features close-up shots of guns being loaded, knives being sheathed, headbands being tied, etc. Never complete without a veritable symphony of metallic clicking noises.

Some of my favorites are

Commando
The 2004 Punisher - Especially when he loads that M203 that he never used.
Hot Fuzz

And one of my early favorites is the short but awesome scene in The Matrix where Neo asked for Guns...lots of them

I got annoyed with guns that constantly make noise even when they shouldn't

I love gearing up scenes. Sometimes im just in the mood for a cheesy cliche filled action movie. i wish the expendables had had a scene where they were gearing up all that firepower.

At least we got a cool scene of Terry Crew prompting how badass the AA-12 is
