This is a huge pet peeve of mine. It's bad enough that about 80% of the movie posters and DVD cases you see on the wall at Blockbuster are of people holding guns the wrong way (100% of the time with finger on the trigger while posing). But the most basic, intelligence-insulting mistakes are made in gun-content-heavy movies and you know a lot of the folks who work those sets know about guns. WTF? I rented "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg the other night. It started off pretty well and I was kind of impressed by the realistic gun savvy. But then he test fires a .50 cal rifle with his dog sitting a few feet away from the muzzle. Now what are the odds of that blast not exploding that dog's eardrums? Next scene he's playing with his dog.

And what's this obsession with people drawing Glocks and then you hear the sound of a hammer being cocked? PLEASE!!!! My intelligence can't take any more of a beating.

And another pet peeve is the constant cocking or racking back slides on semi-auto guns that were either just fired or should have been cocked long before gunplay commenced. I mean, does a cop really run to a scene with an empty chamber, draw on a suspect and then rack the slide back to let the guy know he really means business this time?

Kudos to Rambo IV. It had to be one of the bloodiest, most violent movies I've ever seen and that's because they realisically recreated what happens when human bodies are hit with .50 cal. chain guns. I think the Claymore explosion was way, way exaggerated though.
