Most ridiculous gun moment in a movie or TV show.

In the Matrix, during the lobby scene: Neo is running amok with twin VZ-61's (from the looks of it) that drop buckets of .223 brass.

Neo is using his power as "The One" to do that. Nothing to see here, it was not a continuity error, move along, move along...:p

In The Adventures of Ford Fairlane, Our Hero is fighting the Killer on a yacht. He tries to get a shotgun from a wall rack, but it is secured or otherwise stuck to the rack. He then tears the 3-gun rack from the wall and fires at the Bad Guy with an array of shotguns. He misses the Bad Guy, but does manage to sink the yacht.

In Hot Shots! Part Deux, Our Hero has killed hundreds of bad guys and runs out of ammo. He then throws a handful of ammunition and kills a bunch of bad guys. A Bad Guy fires a Final Shot, hitting Ramada. The shot is stopped by her locket. The entire round is stuck in it. These incidents may not count, since the movie was supposed to be an over-the-top parody. Should the thread title be changed to "The Most Ridiculous Unintentional Gun Moment In A Movie or TV Show"?
 
Phone Booth

The sniper is watching a guy in the phone booth, threatening to shoot him if he doesn't do exactly what the sniper does. Every few minutes, the sniper operates the bolt on his rifle to make sure the guy doesn't get any ideas. Problem is, he does it six or seven times. I told the guy on the TV he should just walk out of the booth, because the sniper just ejected all his rounds.

He didn't listen to me.
 
Of course, Benny:banghead:

Great movie, really good research on the types of weapons used.

Also, I figured out what causes all that noise when people are handling guns, that the sound of the sights aligning.:neener: Kind of like the tumblers in a lock.:D
 
Then there's "The Adventures of the Wilderness Family". It's not a gun flick, but it is one of the worst films ever made. It's so bad it's funny.

Toward the end of the movie, there's a scene where a grizzly bear is breaking into the cabin. Mom grabs the shotgun and waves it around hysterically. The bear whacks on a window shutter. Mom fires, and obliterates a bucket in the corner several feet from the window. The bear whacks on a different shutter. Mom fires again, blowing away the stovepipe (nowhere near the window). The bear starts breaking down the front door. Mom fires, and destroys something else nowhere near the door.

Then their long-lost pet black bear cub runs from the woods and attacks the grizzly. They wind up fighting it out in a clearing a good hundred yards from the cabin. Mom takes one last shot with the shotgun from the porch of the cabin and kills the grizzly, without touching the black bear he's wrestling with.
 
"Die Hard With A Vengance"

Bruce Willis fires his last two shots from what appears to be a .38 snubby at about thirty yards. The bullets neatly sever two power lines which then crash into the rotors of the BG's helicoptor, causing a spectacular crash.:rolleyes:

"Romancing The Stone"

Michale Douglas firing a never-ending supply of shells from his short-barreled pump action. (He did reload at least once during the movie. . .)
 
Any of the many many tv shows and movies where someone empties their glock. But the slide isn't locked back and the gun goes CLICK CLICK CLICK. Double action glocks???

Or there's the Law and Order SVU episode where they're at the shooting range. The female cop is interveiwing a witness who is shooting a desert eagle. The witness tells her it's a .50 cal with a 12 round magazine.
 
Bad Boys 2,

A teenage boy comes to pick up Martin Lawrence's daughter and Wil Smith plays "Bad Cop", he pulls out his Glock and is pointing it at the kid, finger on the trigger.

A good moment, in Miami Vice, not long after Crocket gets the Testarossa, they get into a shootout, and when it's over, he immediately runs to the other side of the car to check for bullet damage. When there isn't any, he can't believe it.

The opening scene of Ninja III: The Domination. About 150 cops all shooting at a ninja, who then kills all the cops. Then the cops find him, and surround him. Another 150 or so cops, standing in a circle roughly 40 feet in diameter, shoot him with M16s on full auto, shotguns, and revolvers. Then the ninja kills all the cops. Then another 50 cops show up and get in formation (the big circle) to shoot at the ninja, pump another couple hundred rounds into him, and the ninja disappears.

And that's all in the first 10 minutes of the movie.
 
Any time they handle Guns on lost it's funny to watch them handle the guns, the way that you would handle a toy.
 
An episode of Alias where the hot chick’s goofy sidekick is pretending to be an arms dealer and a real arms dealer’s henchman points a pistol at the back of his head and cocks it. The dealer then says “If you really know your stuff you can identify that pistol by the sound”, or hero says, “It’s a 1911, but if you really meant it you would have released the safety.” Tactical Tupperware fans please note that you cannot set the safety until AFTER you cock the hammer.

I think it was in True Lies that Arnold wins in a prolonged gunfight (without silencers) in a tiled mens’ room (i.e. echo chamber) and then proceeds to engage in a WHISPERED conversation.

Law & Order: I can’t remember how many times the detectives would get to the scene and be told by the tech examining the body that the victim was shot with a .38. Even if the guy could see the bullet in the wound and tell that was about .357” in diameter how can he be sure it is not a .357 Mag, .38 super, .380, .357 Sig, 9mm para, 9x18 or some odd ball/wildcat?
 
In the classic True Grit, the Duke is firing his short barreled lever rifle down into the valley where the villains are. Kim Darby is kneeling beside the Duke, observing, and her head/ear is within a foot or two of the muzzle of the rifle. In real life she would have been writhing on the ground, her hands to her ears, her hearing badly damaged. Thanks to the magic of Hollywood, this scene doesn't occur.
 
Relax, guys. We don't WANT the bad guys to have examples of skilled gun handling in movies! Gives us the edge, when some dumb gangsta does it like he seen on the toob! Every gun gaffe I see makes me happier: Delighted that only the few, the informed, have the brights to handle a shooter in the proper way.:rolleyes:
 
In Derailed, the police detective investigating the shooting of his nephew was able to tell not only that the murder weapon was a 9mm, but that it was shot from a Smith & Wesson 5906 and kept looking for this specific model throughout the movie.

They did this in Monk, also.

I told the guy on the TV he should just walk out of the booth, because the sniper just ejected all his rounds.

He didn't listen to me.

That's a great way to get killed when you have no idea how large the magazine is on his rifle.
An Enfield would still have three rounds left, a bolt-gun that uses M-14 magazines would have thirteen. Heck, if it was one of those Australian Internation Arms converted-Enfields that takes other, more popular mag types/cartridges, he could have had like 68 with a 75 round AK magazine.

It's a good bet, sure. But hey, do YOU want to take that chance?
 
In an episode of The Shield...

Vic is sitting in the Strike Team's room at the barn, getting ready to clean his 1911 from the muzzle with the slide in battery. It just looked like Michael Chiklis had absolutely no idea what he was supposed to be doing.
 
Rise of the Phoenix, (new version)

When the hero, with a 1911 that wasn't his and he never fired before, shoots twice at each of two bad guy's riding away on horses, at night, and gets them both. Then his hand is shaking so badly he can't shoot the third one.
 
How about in movies where they pump a SxS shotgun, or have a "pump" sound for the gun?

Hot Shots: Part Deux was a hilarious movie. How about the Rambo parody part where he's shooting the M60 and ends up waist-deep in brass? Or when he shoots the chicken into the bad guy with a bow.

Can't believe no one mentioned the "cop killer" scene in Lethal Weapon 3 where Mel shoots through a bulldozer blade with a Mac-10.
 
most ridiculous one I've ever seen was on scary movie 4. the guy shoots himself in the rear with a revolver without the hammer going back. he then shoots himself accidentally again in his appendage without the revolver chambering another round or the hammer going back. absolutely ridiculous
 
also in Boondock saints. from a handgun he obviously knew a 50 caliber slug from a handgun went through a brick wall:rolleyes: no question at all what caliber it was and definetly from a handgun. no forensics just look right at it
 
You can't forget the classic scene from Missing In Action where Chuck Norris pops out of the water with an M60 in one hand and wipes out a platoon single handedly. That always makes me chuckle to see.
 
a movie where a group of 3 guys wading thru a lagoon at the bottom of a waterfall get pelted with like 10 grenades from guys at the top. the grenades float when they hit the water. i think it was called 'platoon leader'
 
It would have to be on arhh i think it was called love of a bullet ant the guy balenced on one hand while fireing at another person in the open and didn't get hit.:what:
