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?

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
