5 Ridiculous Gun Myths Everyone Believes (Thanks to Movies)

[m24]

Hollywood shows some restraint with revolvers--usually no more than 10 or 11 shots per six-shot cylinder--but damn, do they go hog-wild with anything that fires full-auto. So much so that that most of us have wound up with an utterly ridiculous concept of how those guns work. They're seriously depicting these things firing a hundred times more bullets than they can actually hold.

Great piece there, xl. Thanks for sharing.

Also while shooting it is cool enough to hold the barrel, especially FA.

In joshiley, anil kapoor uses a shotgun shell in a rifle.

I would love to see one of these chaps try to hold a bren gun from it's barrel after a couple of magazines down the tube.A belt fed machine gun after a couple of belts fired would be even more fun.

Thanks xl_target.
I have always been amazed at how all the bad guys in our Bollywood movies miss their target everytime, irrespective of how lethal their weapons may look and how our very own "action hero" is always on the mark with his .32 bore pistol / revolver ...........firing endlessly and shooting down one man with every bullet.

Not only can you hit a soup can with the first shot at 1 Mile, you can actually see it without use the Hubble as a scope..

Not to forget Bollywood.... I remember an old daku movie, wherein the heroine, with a DBBL shotgun, fires backwards, one handed, while on horseback (the horse is actually galloping through Chambal ki ghatis), accurately enough for 1 bullet 1 kill (at a fair distance), and continuously, without reloading.... now that's so many myths!!!

what you refer to Prashant, is called the "stormtrooper effect". Based on the Star War films, where rookies like Luke Skywalker would bring down an entire platoon of villians, while supposedly professional stormtroopers could never manage to hit the heroes despite throwing a barrage of fire
