it personally delights me to see people flying backwards through plate glass windows.

I also enjoy the "aimed shot at the gas tank" trick that can turn any car or truck into a fifty-foot fireball.

A tiny, insignificant inaccuracy that particularly pleased me was in "The Sentinel" during the crime scene investigation after a Secret Service agent had been killed, when they were examining his gun and another agent declared that he must have been ambushed because "the safety was still on" and then proceeded to enlighten the local PD detective by informing him that "Secret Service agents are taught to draw and disengage the safety in a single motion." Since USSS agents carry Sig P229s that don't have a manual safety, that must be an interesting day in the firearms training course. :mrgreen:

The accuracy that some actors can achieve with fully automatic pistols can also be quite impressive, as can the inaccuracy of any of their opponents with *any* firearm at any range.
As a Sig 229'er myself...caught that same gaff....I just looked over at my son (CHLer HK...) he knew mine does have a manual safety!
Ha....of well....the movies indeed.
