    Belt-fed blanks for Hollywood?

    How does Hollywood manage to put what look like FMJ bullets through their guns? I'm assuming they rarely, if ever, shoot anything other than blanks on sets. So how do they show a belt-fed gun chewing up a chain of shiny copper-pointed bullets and dropping the links and cases out the other side?

    Tactical thigh holsters

    You can get an Uncle Mike's thigh holster for under $40, or easily pay $140 or more for others. Are there good reasons to pay up for thigh holsters if you're not using an employer's account? Or is the $40 Uncle Mike's just fine?
