Re: What are your movie pet peeves re: guns?

All of those action & scifi shows that show dozens of bullets flying everywhere and hitting solid objects with NO ricochets happening! Also, those bullets hitting volatile materials with no explosions happening.

The utter failures of any of shooters failing to hit any target despite dozens of rounds fired...of course, it adds to the "suspense" and keeps people watching while the shows are using time on the sets.

Also, the "room clearing" by the incompetent guys/gals who point their weapons at their buddies while sweeping the area...of course, with hands on the triggers while doing it.

Then, there is the bad guy pointing a gun at someone's head about 1 to 2 feet away from them...the GG makes no attempt to duck or knock the hand away...more suspense...lol.

Then, there is the guy who feigns a suicide attempt with pointing the muzzle at such an angle to their head that the worst that would happen would be a serious powder burn or grazing cut to the scalp. Also, "frontal lobe" shots that would only cause a "pre-frontal lobotomy" on the guy...and not be lethal... Guess they were absent that day in biology class where there were pictures of "vital" parts of the head...e.g., brain stem, etc.
