This will work. There was a mortarman in the Pacific who won the MOH, in part for stopping a Japanese attack up a hill toward his pinned down until in a cave. He slammed the rounds on a rock to knock out the setback pins and threw the mortar rounds down the hill.

Don't forget "Commando Kelly" a US soldier in Europe during WWII who did the same thing except he was in a building dropping them on the Germans outside the building. He was the first US soldier to be awarded the MOH in the European Theater.

Commando Kelly
 
loadeddrum: You are right about the SCFI channels movie Manticore. One of the worst make for TV movies ever. The "American" armored cars are actually Russian BTR 60s or 70s.
 
Also, I've mentioned this before, but for all you n00bs, please rent "Mean Guns" with Christopher Lambert.

Rent? That's way too strong a word. Wait 'till it comes on cable again. If it doesn't, you haven't missed much. :p
Can't recall all the highlights. Everybody but the little girl gets shot.

P.S. For those doubting the truth of Zardoz, or with a few hours of their life to waste:

To keep it gun related: Nearly everyone gets killed at the end with milsurps and other C&R stuff.
 
Probably the worst thing about guns in the movies are when it's a zombie movie. I just watched a recent one and it took the first 45 minutes of the movie for them to figure out you have to shoot zombies in the head.

I kept wanting to scream at them, "C'mon people, there have been a ton of zombie movies made prior to this one. Any fool should know by now that you have to take the head shot
....
....
and use the right caliber." :D
 
i just saw "i am legend" ultimate .223 vs zombie movie.. why didnt he just get out of his car and paoh that deer instead of trying to shoot it from inside while driving... whatever.

saw "a view to a kill" james bond today.. some super bomb sposed to blow up under teh SF bay and flood silicon valley, well grace jones rides this thing out of the cave and blows up, when james runs out teh crater is about a foot deep. also the old guy has at best an old 6 show S&W and takes about 8 shots at james on the golden gate bridge..

hey i LOVED A-team in the 80's when i was about 9-12 or so...
 
In the recent Rob Zombie directed version of Halloween there is a scene where a character walks into a gun shop, during the late evening (long after most gun shops are already closed) and walks out with a Colt .357.

The movie takes place in Illinois.
 
There's a reason they call it Hollywierd.
You just have to suspend reality........completely.
 
Charlie's Angels, the movie. The women they cast are wonderful actors, but whoever was directing insisted on really cheesy gun selection and handling. Aaargh.

Worst gun content in any movie I've ever seen was in one called "Hard Rain" I saw on TV once while traveling. Had a rather interesting plot (bad guys vs. outnumbered good guys in a flooded city in Louisiana, a la Katrina, at night, had some neat effects). The gun handling was awful, though. The crooked sheriff enlisted the aid of a locally renowned hunter in the attempt to kill the good guys; fortunately for them, said hunter thought that the proper way to fire a SCOPED mini-14 Ranch Rifle was from the hip at nothing in particular. That was typical of pretty much all the gun content in the movie...

Okay, okay the gun handling is awful but redeeming factors in Hard Rain:
1. Minnie Driver
2. Minnie Driver with a gun
2. Morgan Freeman, Randy Quaid, and pre-crazy Christian Slater
3. It was a bank heist gone wrong in a flooded city in Louisiana. We all know that bank heists gone wrong are one of the great starter plots in movie history.
3. Jetski chase inside the high school
4. Did I mention Minnie Driver?
 
I second the post about Pearl Harbor. Some genius decided that the attack on Battleship Row needed to look like X-Wing fighters attacking the Death Star in Star Wars III. I was expecting this great epic that would be historically correct. I got sick to my stomach watching the CGI-special effects fest. What a freakin' waste of money that movie was.

I always get a kick out of explosions in space -- a fireball without oxygen and deafening sound in the vacuum of space. If movies obeyed the laws of physics, science fiction battle scenes would be pretty drab.
 
Not sure if its mentioned yet, but Bad Boys 2. While raiding the KKK rally one of the cops (can't remember... the movie was so bad that its just fuzzy) goes out of his way to describe that he's got a hollowpoint bullet that will do all sorts of evil bad things to the bad guy. After which, he shoots a bottle and after penetrating it perfectly it hits said bad guy killing him instantly.
 
Can't remember what Halloween movie. A girl is loading a S&W44 Mag and he (the killer) is down the hall. She doesn't shoot, but throws the gun and runs?
 
in Tombstone, in the ok coral fight, Doc shoots a bad guy, then hides behind a horse, shoots up in the air to scare the horse off, and then shoots the other bad guy. three shots with a double barrel shotgun without a reload? I'm your huckleberry
