That's excusable, Alf, but most bad gun handling is just bad gun handling.

The episode of Walker, Texas Ranger where he's going up against an implied JFK assassin. "75 yards on a moving target, only one person I know coulda made that shot and you were home in bed last night, right?"

Let's just say ANY TV gun-talk with rare exception.

Lots of people make those shots every November in Michigan. ::)

Yeah, I used to know people who didn't even need a rifle, could make 75 Moving with pistols. But hey, it SOUNDED scary for the Average Mouthbreathing TV Watcher of the 1990s, amirite?

Remember the TV detective show CANNON?  In one scene the main character played by William Conrad is under fire from a guy on a mound of junk about 100 yards away and maybe 50' up a hill.  Cannon whips out his .38 Special snubby and fires off a shot which drops the bad guy.  The young ingenue asks, "Did you kill him?"  To which Cannon replies, "No.  Only winged him."

You just don't get that sort of reality in today's TV cop shows.

The good guys never needed to reload.  Those were some magic times, brother.

I often lose track of the story line county shots out of revolvers.

Here's the secret of the 100-shot "six-gun".  ;D

I'm watching the 2021 movie, The Protégé. A woman was shot with a shotgun and flew 10' across the room. Then Sam Jackson was shot, flew 10' across the room into the wall, and was slam dunked in a bathtub. By a shotgun that not only didn't send the shooter flying across the room in the opposite direction, it didn't have any recoil at all. I can suspend my disbelief during a science fiction movie where a spaceship is traveling faster than light when that's the only way people are going to end up where they do. But recoilless guns making people fly across rooms in the present time on Earth, uhn-uh.

I remember seeing a few minutes of an infomercial Maggie Q was on. She didn't know why she used to feel bloated all the time. And thought it was normal to only have a BM twice a week, or once every two weeks, something stupid like that. But the people who make these movies are more full of $#@! than she ever was.
