was watching an episode Tivoed a while back.

A shooting, turns woman had gun in purse pulled it out, attacker wrestled her arm back aorund and made woman shoot herself.

So the figure that out, go looking for the bullet, see a ding on a big stone pillar at the museum. So now they want to know where the bullet richochetted to after hitting that. It is round, so diffcult to calculate. Solution?

pull your j frame out of your ankle holster, eject ammo. Grab casing with pliers, pry off bullet with knife, dump gunpowder on ground.

Bend a splint stick from the first aid kit into a V, tie a bit of rubber glove to it, making a slingshot.

Then, standing 30 meters away, "simulate the velocity" of the round after it went through body, and shoot the bullet at the ding on the pillar, Hit the ding dead on, bullet bounces and lands 2 feet from the murder bullet.

I know, CSI is bad science and bad gun info, but sometimes it is so bad I just have to laugh.
 
A lot of what I see on all four of the C.S.I.,( including N.C.I.S. in this), shows makes me laugh. Thats good...it's supposed to be entretainment so thats how I take it. True, some if it is just silly. It's still better than most of the shows...( Biggest Looser...Big Brother...Oprah....W.W.E.....see?

O.K. I'm going to the range. Frame supports have been shot to splinters. Can't even staple cardboard to it for target backing...and I want to shoot my M1 today!

Mark.

notice I left Andy and Barny out of this :D
 
Wait. So none of the CSIs are intended to be comedies?

Damn, do I feel stupid now.
 
Man, I can't take ANY of those silly melodramas for more than 2 minutes. I can't even watch Bonanza (bizarre parallel universe). Even Gunsmoke bugs me (Marshall Dillon always lets the bad guy get off the first shot).

But CSI is just unbearable. (BTW, notice in your example the woman's own gun was used against her. Deliberate propaganda.)
 
I still find CSI and NCIS and the other alphabet shows entertaining, but I would like to see a remake of DIRTY HARRY, directed by Clint Eastwood, staring someone who can master that glare he did. I have seen Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) do a glare like that once. He could probably pull it off.
 
That is nothing. I was so bored I watched SWAT the other day for the first time. The one with Fishbourne. Now that is a straight up comedy of errors.
 
CSI, NCIS, Law and Order, Numbers, House, etc are pap and pablum for the masses. They reflect Hollywood's opinion of the common man. As long as you watch them, Hollywood makes money and proves them right.

There companies such as 'Netflix' and 'Blockbuster' that will provide you more enlightened entertainment that is a lessor insult to your intelligence. I would suggest 'African Queen.'

Say what you will about House (I bet REAL MDs positively hate that show), I love Hugh, and the show, at least earlier seasons, is pretty damned entertaining.
 
The other day in CSI Miami a Ruger 10/22 shot .223 ammo and they also had a Ruger 10/22 gun. hahaha
 
The only CSI i can tolerate is the original in Vegas, and that one has the best looking girls. But I love when either Vegas or Miami interrogate a suspect and say "well, you are the registered owner of a shotgun, and a 9mm Glock, both of which were used in the murder" or whatever. Neither Nevada or Florida have gun registration, especially of long guns. Propaganda...
 
African Queen:

Anything with Bogie, Hep, Steam Engines, and torpedoes made from gas cylinders has GOT to be good!

All it needed was a little Steve McQueen in there to be PERFECT.

CSI Dreamville:

I happened to catch that part of CSI with the slingshot bit. Not knowing what it was, I thought it was a comedy. I kept waiting for Leslie Nielsen to show up.

When I realized it wasn't a comedy, I laughed even harder.
 
One of my all-time faves was a re-run of Walker Tx Ranger I caught part of. Some guy tried to assasinate WTR from a rooftop using an AR, obviously chambered in a .223-size cartridge by the size of the magazine. He missed, of course. Can't remember if Chuck caught the bullet in his teeth or what. Anyway, when they go to gather evidence afterward, WTR finds the spent shell casing, which is clearly a pistol round, probably a .380, 9mm Luger at best. And this is in a show starring a "gun guy".
 
The sad thing about the "CSI" shows is they are poisoning the jury pools around the nation. People watch those shows and see how all the evidence is found and think "why couldn't these guys have done that?".
 
CSI NY featured a .50 being used to cut a vault door open and not too much of the dope they were trying to get out was damaged...

The real crappy bit of that ep was when the lead guy rigged a pipe bomb to a hydrogen cylinder and used lasers to booby trap the room...of course, the Big Bad Boss Badguy triggered it whilst the star was a few feet... big explosion blows out a huge part of the building.... the star comes outside with just a SCRATCH on his head..... nothing else.

So yea, not real.
 
All here should understand that a huge majority of teeeveee and movie writers ....

1. Hate firearms.

2.Hate firearms owners.

3. Are extremely ignorant about firearms.

4. Want all firearms confiscated.

5. Are extremely left liberal politically, having no use whatsoever for the Second Amendment.

6. Could not possibly care less about accuracy of firearms/ammo in their scripts.

7. Do not believe you have a Right to self defense.

And while you're at it, include a vast majority of directors, actors, and producers in the group.

So, if you find teeeveee and flicks entertaining, watch them. But do not make the mistake of thinking that the powers-that-be in Hollywood care what you think about how they portray guns and ammo because they don't. :uhoh:

L.W.


P.S. Sometimes Matt Dillion did shoot first in GUNSMOKE.
 
Hi bleach,

Click to expand...

I'll probably catch a lot of flack for this but it's a shame that the 1st amendment that supposed to insure a well-informed electorate has degraded to protect these kinds of shows and all the while DA's are allowed to hide the truth to the public.

That whirring sound you hear is John Adams spinning in his grave. (I'm surprised Algore hasn't tried to hook the poor man to a generator to reduce CO2.)

CSI should have stopped with Vegas. ACCKKK Horatio makes me lose my lunch. As for gun stuff they are more than frequently incorrect.
 
If you drink every time Horatio either takes off or puts on his glasses or makes a godawful one-liner the show is almost tolerable by the end.
