As far as Westerns goofs go; there's not much that beats Berry Pepper in the Coen Bros. True Grit remake holding his 1875 Remington right beside his ear and firing off a signal shot without flinching.
As long as we're talking about Barry Pepper let's not forget the 450 yard shot with no bullet drop in Saving Private Ryan.
It's not gun related but I liked the scene in We Were Soldiers where he drops his camera on the ground then comes back later and it's hanging from a tree.
Just as a piece of trivia the scene where CSM Plumley hands him an M-16 and tells him "There's no non-combatants today sonny." Actually happened just not on that day. Joe Galloway was shadowing a Special Forces A-Team that was in danger of being overrun three weeks earlier. An SF Officer gave him the rifle and he showed up at Ia Drang already carrying it. This is according to the book he and LTG Hal Moreland wrote, We Were Soldiers Once....And Young.
