Always be sure of your target AND WHAT'S BEHIND IT!!!

Maybe they are using the super-duper Acme frangible bullets?

I haven't noticed this... but

I did see the Aimpoints on backwards in some scenes of "Tears of the Sun".

Did you see the Myth Busters where they attempt that? Fun to watch. The final conclusion was obvious for anyone who gets ballistics to the kindergarten level that I do, or most on this forum, but still fun to watch.

Never noticed that one. Do you happen to remember which movie/show it was?

I don't. I've seen it at least twice though.
Both times they go into that "super slow-mo" sequence of the bullet flying through the air, and on the back is the casing. Just hilarious. Left wing nuts who have never fired a gun or even seen a bullet besides in a new box spending all that money making the effects for the movie. I wish I could remember which movies they were.

Was it "Wanted"? I can't remember for sure.

I don't think so. The movies I'm remembering are at least pre 1995. I think Hollywood finally learned after somewhere around 1996. LOL

Was watching "The Walking Dead" series (good series... fun to watch http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
The main character, who they are trying to show as a real gun-guy and knows his weapons (based on comments he makes throughout the series, at one point tells a fellow cop with a Glock to focus and make sure the safety is off.

i also hate when bullets spark on something metal, but leave no mark, hole, or indentation in that metal.
