How about the number of bullet hits that an actor can take and still continue fighting?
In the finale of "The Last Samurai" Tom Cruise and his samurai buddy charged into a battery of .45-70 Gatling guns, were hit several times each, and continued to ride and fight.
One hit from a .45-70 slug would probably convince just about anyone to retire from the fight, if he were still alive to consider anything at all.
Good point! Remember the nonsense about holding guns "gangster style"? Or holding the gun pointed up next to one's face!
I stopped watching Walking Dead about two minutes into episode 1. When the main character tells his cop rookie buddy to "make sure the safety is off on that thing". That thing being a Glock 22. I think what really got me was the show was recommended to me for its excellent use and representation of firearm use.
What about how every pistol on TV makes the "slide racking" sound before being brought into use, whether it is merely being withdrawn from a holster, or having the safety disengaged, or in some cases just being pointed at someone.
Here's ones for the veterans: how about the "whooshing" sound that every rocket makes? I've shot enough AT-4s and Stingers to know that they go BANG when they fire, and I've never heard a whoooosh.
I don't mind the non stop shooting from a gun as long as they do it in different scenes instead of one long one so there's the possibility of the actor reloading in between.
This also occurs in video games. A scope will put the shot wherever the crosshairs are, no matter the yardage.
#1 Quick and the Dead (among others) you shoot someone and you can literally SEE THROUGH the bullet hole.
