Movie Mistakes with Firearms

No one ever got hit in the GI Joe cartoons from the '80s

Or the A-Team.

Like the "bolt action" Barrett M82 Mark Walberg uses in Shooter.

Lol, I saw that this past weekend and also called it out.

In an episode of The Walking Dead, a character shot at some another character with an M-4 that had no rear sight. He didn't just fire away, he took a carefully aimed shot at someone who was running away.

I caught that one the other night. Is it just me or would anyone else prefer to have a good sword like that one chick over a gun with limited ammo?

Not a movie, but Schultz from Hogans Heroes always carried a Krag.

Or the A-Team.

haha, yeah, that too.

I remember seeing the one episode when Murdock popped out of the casket, thinking that he was bound to hit something with that element of surprise. I came away disappointed.

The Germans used the Krag-Jorgensen during WW II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krag-Jø...g_World_War_II

Do you know the "why" behind it?

For those that don't:
He was firing some type of low power blanks that didn't have enough power to cycle the weapon. Basically they gave it a realistic flash and boom but took away the realistic function.


Just to continue the thread:
In the movie Sniper 3, Tom Berenger manages to get a "through the scope" head shot on a sniper 'with a pistol' from what appears to be over 100yds away.

Apparently everyone in that show is an expert marksman. Even the 12 year old can make head shots at 50 yards from a speeding car on a bumpy dirt road.

I love the show but that part always bothers me.

Love the show too, but did anyone notice that not a single gun in the show, once fired, ever has any recoil?? Drives me crazy!

Or the A-Team.

Incorrect. In one episode BA (Mr. T) caught a bullet and ended up getting a transfusion from Murdock.

I remember that episode, B.A. was worried that he was going to catch crazy from Murdock.
