Horror movie gun fails

We’ve all seen them and flinched accordingly – movie gun fails. Cocking sound effects synchronized with the presentation of a Glock, bottomless magazines (and pump shotguns, hello, Walking Dead, I’m talking to you), and the stunning explosions created by the impact of a bullet – call it Hollywood fantasy or ridiculously inept, but you can’t really enjoy a movie if you’re a firearms buff. In honor of Halloween it’s time to post an oldie but a goodie: Iraqveteran8888’s Gun Grips 47,”Guns in Horror Movies.” Yes, this one dates back to 2012, but it’s still one we can all get behind. After all, who here isn’t irritated by firearm inaccuracies in movies?

What’s your biggest horror movie gun gripe?

Just about anything featuring an a member of the AR family, they always manage to have a serous firefight with port cover closed!

The recent trailer for hitman.

The slow mo ejected case from his pistol, still has the plastic bits on the end from the blank

Some TV series here they use BLACK training guns and have the actors "shake" to show recoil - muzzle flash is added by the effects team later. wallhead

AK's are always full auto, even when the safety is ON.

The one that always annoys me when I see it is in Equilibrium. At one point one of the guards is wielding a a WA2000 rifle, with the scope and bipod removed, as if it were a shotgun. He racks a non exisent pump action under the barrel and it's even accompanied by the sound of the racking. Apparently the one in the movie was a replica (not surprising given how rare they are), but even so, come on guys....

How come someone hit in the chest with a 20 -30mm shell from an aircraft cannon or a .50 is still alive - or in possession of the limb that was hit?

And absolutely NO ONE in a shopping mall hears a burst from an Uzi /AR /AK or a shotgun blast!

..or made from a Smartie tube....

I hear firing an RPG from inside a car is not too clever either....and why do frag grenades contain 50 gallons of oil and shaved wax that explode in a huge ball of flame.??

And a blast wave that takes out a building but NOT someone calmly walking away from it... :o
