Can't stand CSI. Dumbed down fantasy. I saw one full episode and the dimwits claimed the bbl from a Glock had been changed so as to fool investigators. Guess noone on the show ever looked at a Glock as they would have noticed the sn on the bbl.

.45 isn't just .45; it's also labeled as 'ACP' as there is more than one .45 round available (.45 long colt for example). One could pick up a casing and simply read .45 auto. DOES NOT mean it was fired from an auto though.

Here's one for the gun nuts; i recently saw some tv show (can't recall what though) where the murder weapon was claimed to be a .45 Beretta. Who gets paid to check this stuff? God bless Tom Clancy I say. Apparently he was the last 'entertainer' to give two ****s about accuracy.

There is a popular author (name escapes me but he wrote kiss the girls and such) who is an absolute buffoon when it comes to technical accuracy. Lines like 'unclicked the safety on my Glock' are throughout his work. I believe he also got motorcycle controls mixed up as well!

BTW, does anybody elses wife absolutely hate it when you rant about this stuff in the middle of a movie?
