Re: For fun; Favorite hollywierd gun gaffs

along those lines, has anyone seen ANY sniper movie where the good guy doesn't shoot at least one bad guy THROUGH the scope that the bad guy is looking through? :grumble

One famous true time this happened and now no sniper is a sniper until he has done it also.

Re: For fun; Favorite hollywierd gun gaffs

watched the movie "shooter" a couple of times and Samantha caught something interesting.

When they are up in the mountains and the primary takes out almost everyone, the "senator" is then disarmed. It appears to be a 1911 style weapon, most prob. a .45. One would think that if he was expecting danger, it would have been loaded up to max (or at least only downloaded by one in the mag) yet the woman picks it up and proceeds to empty the weapon into the bad guy that had violated her.

She shoots 4 times and the gun is at slide lock. (must have been a california magazine <g>)

The bullet being "refired" is also a stretch for me. I would have thought that there would have been at least some deformaty hitting the soup can and then into the snow/ground. Even minor deformaty of hitting something as "soft" as the can would effect the "kill shot" taken from extreem distance. Maybe someone can clarify?
