Re: Gun 'mistakes' in Books, TV, and Movies - feel free to post your own

I power-watched a bunch of old CSI episodes on Amazon Prime Video recently, and they repeatedly dub in all kinds of hammer-cocking sounds when the agents draw their Glocks. ;-) Also occasional slide-racking, and massively poor tactical use of flashlights.

Now in the series Grimm, there is someone on the show staff that knows a little about guns and gun history, they've had some interesting dialogue and plot points involving arcane gun knowledge. IIRC there was one episode around which one of the clues was knowledge of what "parabellum" actually means, and that it was the motto for Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken. But the show still does goofy things with the cocking sounds and slide racking nonsense sometimes.
