I can't think of any particular movie where I sat back and thought: "wow, that was a realistic portrayal of firearm operation!"

The book was better, as is usually the case. The .47-70 had mythological powers, being handed down through generations of Native Americans.For instance I was going to start watching the series Longmire.
I thought that they did a good job in The Kingdom.
"...nationally ranked guys will be hired to shoot for effect in movies..." Um, what? Nationally ranked in what and by whom?
Guess I'm not the only one! But I have trained her well- she sometimes does it, too (or at least agrees with me)!I think wifey is getting really tired of me pointing out errors and inconsistencies..
Joe Mantegna, Stephan Segal and Tom Selleck also seem to know which end the bullet comes out of.Don't know of he was "nationally ranked", but Jim Zubiena was an outstanding early IPSC shooter who was also a firearms instructor for Miami Vice, and who shot the famous "Mozambique" scene.
Same here. "Just shut up and watch the movie!"I think wifey is getting really tired of me pointing out errors and inconsistencies..
Listed as one of the most realistic depictions of firearms ever made. I have yet to watch itHeat isn't bad, replete with reloads and malfs anyway..
The stuff in The Quick and the Dead was pretty crazy and unrealistic, but I don't mind that so much in movies. Movies are not reality and of course the stuff will be embellished to the point of absurdity.
What snaps my cap is when they get basic facts blatantly wrong.
For instance I was going to start watching the series Longmire. I had heard lots of bragging about it and started the first episode on Netflix.
Someone gets shot and they determine that it was a .45-70 that killed him. They did not find the brass if I'm remembering correctly, just the slug.
So the main character, Longmire, goes on to tell everyone that .45-70s are antique and rare and that they are looking for someone with an antique single shot rifle. Yeah, because no one makes .45-70s these days and they're all single shots.
As soon as he said it, I turned it off and haven't even tried to watch it again.
My wife thinks I'm crazy but I just can't do it.
Anything from the movie Shooter is pretty ridiculous.
Which Quick and the Dead? The one with Stone and DiCaprio was someone's idea of a joke (on those paying to see it). The one that's taken from the one of the Sackett novels was quite a bit better.
