Silenced revolvers

I just remembered the '80s B flick "99 and 44/100ths % Dead" with Richard Harris. Harris has twin Browning Highpowers in a double shoulder rig. Chuck Connors plays a psychotic, one-handed hitman. He has a fitting on the end of his stump that he can put a MAC10, vibrator, etc. on.
Harris plays a hitman nearing retirement who's helping his old friend and boss recruit new blood. The shot of the wouldbe gunmen lined up around block to apply for a "position" is hilarious. There are a lot of good gunfights too.
Oh yeah, and "Prime Cut" with Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman and a young and naked Sissy Spacek. Marvin plays an old school Chicago hitman sent out to Kansas(?) to deal with a redneck gangster, played by Hackman, who decides to defy the Chicago mob and create his own empire. Lots of good guns including S&W M76 smgs. There's even a hint of "Soylent Green"...

Matrix ("we need guns")
HEAT(street scene, cover and fire)
Predator (whole film
)
ROTLA (swordfightThey had a sword fight scripted but HF was down with food poisoning so they re-wrote it?? )
Mr & Mrs Smith (house shoot out)
Tears of the Sun (village clearance)
Collateral (I just shot him, it was the bullets and fall that killed him?")
all great, all been mentioned before,
But on TV the other night...
made me smile....Rambo II at the end, by the water fall, the VC guy is shooting at him with a pistol and the rounds are falling short by Rambos feet because he's just out of range, so Rambo pulls back on his bow and shoots the guy with an explosive arrow
Daft, but entertaining.

Hey Deanimator
Hey Deanimator,
That is a big +1 for Last Man Standing.

I gotta go with Heat, also.
When Val Kilmer is walking out of the bank toward the getaway car and he's about to get in, smiling, then he looks across the top of the car, across the street and sees the cop. He just cooly drops the duffle bag and raises his rifle and opens up on the guy. I remember the first time I saw the movie- when I saw that, I thought, 'Here we goe.' That has to be one of the most intense shootouts on film.
The lobby/helicopter shootout scene is my all-time favorite scene to crank up/play on my surround sound. The gun shots and brass clinking are masterfull.

Saving Private Ryan - the scene where the American sniper takes out the German sniper.
Zulu - the scene toward the end of the movie where the British form a front and rear rank and apply a devastating fire to the charging Zulus (Front rank fire! . . . Rear rank fire!).
Silverado - Danny Glover - "I don't want to shoot you and you don't want to be dead" then puts a round from his Henry rifle through the hand of a bad guy.
Cross Fire Trail - the end scene around the corral when Tom Selleck plays dead and puts round through the ankle of the bad guy, then gets up to finish it.

I personally like the shootout scene after the bank robbery in the movie Heat. The guns actually sound like real guns, they have to stop and reload a few times, etc. I'm sure they still violate the magazine capacity a few times here and there, though, but it was more realistic than many movies up until then. On that note, same director, similar plot structure.. Collateral has some cool scenes in it.
I like the sniper scenes in Saving Private Ryan. You've gotta love when he puts the bullet through the other sniper's scope, LOL.
There are some good shooting scenes in that movie.
Also, this is a vague memory, but I think the LA Confidential shootout scene was cool. I remember liking it at the time, but that was years ago. I should watch it again and see.
I always love the cheesy scene in Navy SEALs when Bill Paxton starts sniping people through concrete walls with .50 BMG bullets using infrared goggles.
Those are just a few. Of course The Matrix has some cool (albeit unrealistic) shootout scenes.
You've gotta love the scene in the first Terminator where Arnold goes into a gun shop and starts telling the guy which guns he wants. He gets an Uzi, a 1911 long slide with a gigantic laser sight on top, a 12 gauge semi-auto, and I can't remember what else. Then he starts loading the shotgun and the guy goes, "Hey, you can't do that in here!" Arnold: "Wrong! [BOOM]".

Yes, two silenced revolvers. A 1940s movie, but Hollywood's never been much when it comes to firearms accuracy. Once saw a detective movie from the 30s, showing a flashback to the crime. "He aimed his revolver and fired." Only it was a semiauto that was shown.
Don't think I've ever seen silenced weapons in any other early movies, so it came as a surprise to see them. Anybody see a silenced gun in an earlier film?

Can't believe no mentions yet of " say elllo to my lil' frennn"
I love Pacino with that gun in Scarface.
Val Kilmer in Heat of course.
Billy Connelly "The Duke" with the six gun vest in Boondock Saints was sick.
Steve Buscemi in Resevoir Dogs shooting over the car while trying to get away.
Christian Bale in Equilibrium was pretty cool.
Even though he was a knife guy, V from V for Vendetta had a couple cool gun scenes.

There are so many cool gun scenes in movies. I enjoy them all even the suped up ones like the matrix, but I like the realism based gun fights the best. I notice that Tom Sizemore is in quite a few of my favorites.
Here are some I like:
The band of brothers: Taking out the 88s.
I like the scenes from Saving Private Ryan. I'd like to mention the scene where the rush the german machine gun nest. You can see a rain of grenades being tossed both directions.
Mr. Pinks gettaway in resovoir dogs
A few good scenes from Boondock Saints
Several Eastwood flicks.
How about the mounted gunfight in True Grit?
I also like the scene in Aliens whe the aliens are pushing through the auto turrets.

"Enemy at the Gates" sure messed up their poster, though.
Notice anything wrong with the Mosin on the side? What side is that bolt handle on?

The West Highland Police Station shootout in The Terminator was a good one.
The Matrix had a few nice shootouts, though I liked the Dock Battle in Revolutions.

the good the bad and the ugly.
If your going to shoot, shoot, dont talk. Classic.

I just wanted to ask about this one, which revolvers they are using.
At one time, Blondie is loading his gun with bullets, although I would have sworn it has a rammer, in the finale you can see the caps on Angel Eyes' piece.

True Grit
I can't believe that no one has mentioned the horseback gunfight in True Grit! Not the most realistic but extreamly cool with the most classic gunfight line in ANY movie...
Ned Pepper: "That's mighty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man"
Rooster Cogburn: "Fill your hands you son of a *&#@^!"

Last part of the train station scene in "The Untouchables" with the baby carriage, when Stone slides in slow motion, tosses Ness the extra gun, and catches the carriage at the last second.
Andy Garcia is a cool customer in that one, laying on his back propping up the carriage and covering the guy with the hostage with his .38.
Ness: "You got him?"
Stone: "Yeah, I got him."
Gangster: "I'm gonna count to three! One!"
BANG
Stone: "Two"

V For Vendetta
in the last few minutes of the movie where V faces down atleast a dozen beretta varients (looks like the cleric berettas ) and some kind of big revolver, looked sorta like a colt python judging from the general shape.
Crank
The last gunfight before the end, The asian guys had some nice guns. (M500 3.4 inch, Glock 17, Glock 18C and a few subguns I didn't see) They also were sporting some replicas that don't exist IRL (AK Beta Spetz, the HFC Mobster gun)
Lord of war
Just can't get over the slow motion firing part with the kalashnikov while hes calmly giving the weapons description.
Serenity
the gun fight right after the bank robbery with the reifers, Jayne actually reloads his Mp-5K a few times during that fight.
Lucky Number Sleven
Not that many gun fights but a lot of cool guns, Bruce willis used some sort of stevens break barrel as a sniper rifle to kill the black guys son then he later used some kind of silenced 1911s. Sleven had a silver beretta I think and the rabbis son was toating a derringer but it did him little good. I think the rabbi also had some kind of side by side sawn off 12 guage and a sawn down remington 870 in the first scene. Some of the body guards were trying to conceal mp-5Ks under their coats but you could still see the H&K front sight and forward grip.
