"Heroes" gun blooper

[Guitargod1985]

I just saw the latest episode and the dude in the opening scene used a Browning Hi-Power to check out something suspicious when he's interrupted shaving. The funny part is he had the hammer down the entire time! :banghead:

LOL. My wife was watching that same episode and I immediately began trashing on it. Is it really that hard to get something like that right?

At least he wasn't holding an auto with a revolver grip, i.e. left thumb behind the slide. That one is always my favorite movie/TV gun blooper.

Yes it is impossible for the Hollywood rocket scientists to figure this out. The only thing harder for them to understand is that after firing a single action or pump gun, you don't work the action for dramatic effect. I suppose this is part and parcel with the cantidates they support for national office.

I guess you missed the episode where Claire's Dad used both a red laser AND a scope on a sniper rifle. Sylar saw the red laser and ran. Way to go Tactical Thomas...

They started doing things like shooting electrical lawn darts out of shotguns. The same 1911 that knocked Sylar across the Bennet's kitchen wasn't sufficient to knock Noah off his feet when the Haitian shot him on the bridge.

It's not even blast radius close to correct on firearms. I don't watch "Heroes" for it's firearms, which for the entirety of the first season consisted of a tricked out 1911. I watch it for Hayden Leslie Panettiere, and since the writers seem to have run out of interesting idea, now I watch her play Claire with the mute button set and have just as much enjoyment.

So you watch a fantasy TV show about Super Heroes and gripe about realism?

Maybe it was a fantasy DA Hi-Power?
