The movie "Shoot 'Em Up" has a really long ridiculous gun-scene. It starts during the opening sequence and runs up until, oh, about the fade-to-credits at the end.
During the 1980s a lot of tv series featuring gun dramas seemed to employ the ploy of setting fireworks off to signify bullet strikes, on cement walls, steel poles and car bodies. It got ridiculous and annoying.Too many to count. But one that always stuck with me is Hard Target (classic JCVD) where every bullet makes fireworks when it hits anything, including dirt.
“Once Upon a Time in the West” and "Open Range" are INMHO two of the best westerns ever made with “Once Upon a Time in the West” #1 because of the music and intrigue. "Open Range" is #2 and the romantic dialogue between Kevin Costner and Annette Benning is about the best you'll ever hear in a movie.Any of the John Wick movies. Non stop killing. Guy can’t miss and can’t seem to get hit.
Two of my favorite gun scenes though are the one with Charles Bronson in “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Guy says. Didn’t bring enough horses, Charles Bronson’s character says “ No, you brought 2 to many”
The other is the ending shootout in “Open Range”
Open Range: Kevin Costner has a "more than" six-shooter and a shotgun that flings guys 20 feet backwards.

Maybe not the "most" ridiculous, but certainly one of the best known, and still ridiculous was the famous scene in the original Dirty Harry movie. You know - the first scene where Harry asks the bad guy; "Do you feel lucky?"
Harry pulls the hammer back, cocking his Model 29, but if you watch closely you can clearly see the cylinder rotate as Harry pulls the trigger.
Another similar goof-up was in "Stand By Me." Near the end of the movie after the kids had found the body, the juvenile delinquent gang was going to take the body from the younger kids. The main character (played by Wil Wheaton) fires a warning shot in the air with a 1911. Yet immediately following the warning shot, he points that 1911 at the leader of the juvenile delinquent gang, and cocks the hammer back again. Every 1911 I've ever had re-cocked itself after it went off.
