I saw something good that made me smile last week. I was watching the new show "Falling Skies" and there was an exhange between the main character and his son that went like this:

Father: "Need some more ammo? More hollow nose rounds?"
Son: " Hollow points. And yes another clip would be nice..."
Father: "... Magazine" (he smiles and hands his son another Magazine filled with Hollow Points)

I had a good chuckle at this and appreciated it. A writer somewhere actually is a gun enthusiast that shares contempt for folks in and outside of hollywood not knowing the correct terms for firearm related items. I can honestly say that's the first time i've seen a show call hollywood gunplay out on that type of mistake.

Neat stuff.

Hmm, I think number 1 is the one that jars me back into reality the most. Especially when the gun in question is a Desert Eagle chambered in .50AE and they blow like 12 rounds out of it (I'm looking at you, Matrix !!) .

I've actually been watching Flashpoint a lot recently and while I do love that show, there is one thing that always bothers me. The officers that carry MP5's never shoulder them correctly - they always have something like the lower 1/4 of the stock actually resting near the top of their shoulder O.o

For the most part though I'm pretty forgiving, unless its something absolutely dumb. In fact I love to see how many firearms I can identify in whatever it is I'm watching, its quite fun.
