What are your movie pet peeves re: guns?

OK, I thought I'd like to get some lighthearted gun discussion going. What are some of your pet peeves over the way guns are depicted in movies or TV.

I'll start off with a few, you can go from there:

1. The super-loaded gun: shooting 25 times with a J-frame revolver without reloading.

2. Cops and military characters with fingers in the trigger guards. This one tells me the actor has had no training, hasn't bothered to have been told, and isn't a firearms shooter.

3. Cocking a Glock.

4. Racking the slide in the middle of an extended gunfight to show, "now I am REALLY serious".

5. Shows like NCIS tapping into some database to check gun registrations in states without registration.

6. Suspension of Newton's 3rd Law: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.". Guy gets shot by .45ACP handgun, flies backwards 25 feet and through a giant piece of industrial plate glass.
