My biggest pet peeve is when people rack slides or pump shot guns to show they mean business. Don't you keep one chambered?????????
Oh, and the game warden in Maine who told a guy that the reason an animal escaped after being shot by an arrow was that he was too close to the animal and the arrow didn't have time to accelerate.
The last episode "Face" gets shot in the thorax. They were trying to stop a judge form being assassinated. The only time I remember any of the A-Team members being shot.LOL. Actually, I don't remember anyone actually being shot on the A-Team. A lot of rounds sure got fired though!
I wouldn't want Longmire for sheriff, there's a murder every week under his watch!The book was better, as is usually the case. The .47-70 had mythological powers, being handed down through generations of Native Americans.
There are a lot of "Longmire for Sheriff" bumper stickers here abouts, especially in election season.
If you're looking for improbable shots, I like Enemy at the Gates.
Of course the reports are that Vasili Zaitsev actually did actually make the 1:1,000,000 shot by putting a round down the scope of a German sniper's rifle.
This. I'm pointing my gun at you like I'm going to shoot you or engage in a gunfight, but if you get me angry, then I'm actually going to rack the slide and put a round in the chamber. Much better even when lots of people, chorus like, do it. Movie bad guys should know this and shoot immediately before the good guys are actually ready.

My wife gets aggravated with me when I ridiqule "Politicaly correct" movies as we watch them,So I try to keep silent,but sometimes I can't hold my tongue..We watched a movie on Netflix,or Hulu a while back about a woman aircrash investigator whose gay brother was killed in the crash,and all her white male chauvinist pig counter parts were trying to blame it on a muslim,but she discovered the truth which was of course that it was a middle age white male .Who she refered to as a "GunCrazy"...I made it about 15,or20 minutes keeping my mouth shut,but when the gay brothers boyfriend introduced his self as Sebastian I just let go,and ran my mouth thru the rest of the movie..All movies have one thing in common. They are all made by people who finance the Anti-Gun movement. Humm! They buy lots of Anti-Gun propaganda with our "popcorn", money.
One of the "Lethal Weapon" movies made this pretty obvious when the cops are questioning a "gun nut" at a gun store and there is an NRA poster displayed right behind the guy.All movies have one thing in common.

I read somewhere that there were more murders in the first season of Longmire in his county than there were in the whole state of Wyoming for a number of years in real life. I'll look for the actual stats.I wouldn't want Longmire for sheriff, there's a murder every week under his watch!
I thought the long scope used was a Lyman Target Spot. It was probably the closest thing they had to replicate the Winchester/Lyman A5 scope the Army used in WWII.The sniper must have switched between the USMC Unertl scope ....

Major Land stated that Carlos Hathcock's M70 shot 2 MOA at 100yds.Watching the movie "Quigley Down Under" watching Tom Selleck showed the bad rancher his 900 yard target with a dozen or so bullet holes covering his palm to prove his skills for the job he was after made me quietly chuckle. The best 45 caliber black powder rifles in that late 1890's era used in long range competition would keep 15 shots inside about 18 inches that far down range; about 2 MOA.
When I chatted with GySgt Hathcock at the 1971 Interservice Rifle Matches at MCB Quantico, VA, Carlos said he new that rifle wouldn't win the 1000 yard match we shot, but he knew how it shot with M72 30-06 match ammo that was good enough for him. He also was very familiar with its trigger; a big advantage to marksmanship for anyone. He won that year's Interservice 1000 yard bolt gun match with a 30 caliber magnum, 30-338 or 300 Win; I now forget.Major Land stated that Carlos Hathcock's M70 shot 2 MOA at 100yds.
Maybe there's something in the water?http://grantland.com/hollywood-pros...a-county-the-most-murder-plagued-place-on-tv/
The murder rate in Longmire, which is set in one of the lowest violent crime rate states in the country, is higher than in Flint MI, the most murder prone city in the US.
