Considering how much of that scene was cgi (basically everything), and then add in how much the people doing the cgi work don't know about guns. It is amazing you can't actually see a string of bullets nose to tail coming out of the gun.

Oh, and how about the scene where the guy sitting in the helicopter grabs a nickel-plated 92FS and, on the third shot, manages to hit Ant Man's flying steed amidst a huge swarm of other flying ants buzzing in and still yards away. Man, if I could shoot a flying ant out of the air at 10 yards...

On all the hammer-cocking and slide-racking sounds effects, I've become convinced that, if it's the sound only, it's the director, the editor, and the foley artist having some beers in a studio and adding all the clicking and racking in post-production. That even if a film hires (and listens to) a firearms consultant, once he and the actors have gone home the doofuses can get crazy all on their own with no one to correct them. Kinda like it's almost inevitable that they consider silence anywhere to be a vacuum, so even in scenes where your skilled operator is being ultra-stealthy, they always make it sound like he or she is wearing tap shoes and clacking across a wooden floor.
Not even just the gun stuff. The you shrink but retain the same mass. So how are you jumping off bullets, how was the guy able to still hold his pistol with you running on it? How was Dr Prym able to walk around with a tank on his keychain if it still weighed the same?
