In Mad Max:The road Warrior:When Max is driving the Mack truck,back towards the beseiged communities settlement,he drives through the Humongouses camp,where the Humungous becomes so angry that he gets his S&W M29,loads it up and fires a shot at the trucks radiator-to try and halt it.Max tries to fire his shotgun,through the broken windsheild,but it misfires,-because of the severe corrosion of the shotgun cartridge.

In Harry Potter and the Sourcerer's Stone,Harry Potters uncle Vernon angrily confronts Hagrid,with his double-barrelled side-by-side shotgun-after Hagrid breaks down the lighthouse door,to give Harry his acceptance letter from Hogwarts School.Vernon asked Hagrid to leave at once,by threatening to shoot him.

Inspector Lewis.(The pilot episode,for the proposed tv series,that proceeded Inspector Morse.)
When Lewis and his Sergeant investigated the death of a girl who was shot at point-blank range,by a .38 pistol,they later found a Smith and Wesson .38 revolver- hidden inside of a shoe box-in the room of a maths student-at Oxford university.
A Smith and Wesson revolver and any other kind of standard-length revolver/auto-pistol,is banned under the Firearms Ammendment Act 1997 in the UK and Lewis could have arrested this kid for possession of a Section 5 weapon and the kid could have got five years in the slammer-along with unlicensed ammunition and firing a gun in a public place,other than a gunclub..
