What I learned about guns from the movies.

Recommended Posts

And if a full auto gun is out of ammo...it still makes a series of clicks.....as if FA guns have some other way of resetting the trigger rather than the recoil/spring...

 

Are you referring to a scene from "I am Legend"? I was curious what that clicking noise was.

If you want to experience all these things and more, in one movie, you are in luck. Look no further than the Korean movie, 'Shiri'. I cannot remember a movie with more asinine shootout scenes.

 

In one, there was a battle between essentially 2 Armies, of about 20 on each side, from comparable positions, with comparable firearms, and no real advantage from either side. One group had everyone in it killed. The other, not a single injury.

 

Another scene had 1 guy with a handgun that was out of ammo, and a chick with a revolver, in a building, completely surrounded by some sort of elite tactical or SWAT unit. They both escaped without injury, simply by hiding behind office furniture, firing blindly while running away. The 600+ rounds I figured were fired at them, including while being chased down a small hallway with only about a 15 foot gap between them, did nothing.

The ultimate show to learn how guns and bullets are safe and don't hurt people is the original A-Team... 1000's of rounds fired and never hitting people.

Ahhhh the A-team was one of my favorite all time kid shows to watch. I was allowed to watch it because nobody ever died. I always remember the shiny assault rifles they used. Were those real guns or just made up for the show?
