Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
Not a mistake but actually a kinda cool feature they made sure to put in. It's been a while so I may be wrong, though. In Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Lisbeth has a Sig that's cocked at one moment. The dude she was chasing crashes his car and it goes up in flames. A few seconds later, they actually show her hitting the decocker and the hammer falls. Pretty slick detail.
Hammer cocked:

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
The thing that bugs me is the repeated racking of slides and pumping of shotguns. And as I mentioned previously when someone shoots a bad guy and then throws the gun away/down in disgust with it.
Side note, I didn't get paid so I can't pick up my 5.7 until next week sometime. That is all

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
Oh one can fit a suppressor on any firearm, revolvers included. The problem with most revolvers is not getting a good seal at the muzzle but all that gas (and noise) escaping from the forcing cone and the rear cylinder gaps. The design of most revolvers leaves no self-contained system to trap the gas which produces the noise of the report.

This is in too many shows and movies to count. But the good guy won't chamber a round until right before encountering a bad guy.

I've always been fond of the seemingly semi-automatic/automatic M203 grenade launcher (Scarface, Commando, et al.) and the nonexistent backblast of the M72 LAW (Falling Down, et al.).

"The Spy Who Loved Me"
In the "fight" scene where Bond shoots Stromberg (the bad guy)...
Bond gets a couple more shots off after his PPK stovepipes.

Re: Movie Mistakes with Firearms
Just saw one of the best ones today... True Lies. When the terrorists are first arming their nuke, Arnold and his wife are sneaking around, watching. Arnold hands her an Uzi-type MG and he goes off. Later that scene, 6-8 terrorists spot them and are coming towards. Arnolds yells "shoot!" to his wife and she unloads with the Uzi. Recoil immedately pushes her back into a crate, causing her to drop the Uzi down a flight of stairs. The uzi fires in every direction, discharging everytime it bounces off of a step. Must be like 10-15 rounds that discharge while it's tumbling down the stairs perfectly, just like a slinky. "She" ends up killing all 8 terrorists.
