Don't forget the click whenever anyone points the gun at somebody.

My favorite is bad guy pointing gun at somebody telling them to do something. Then when the opponent doesn't listen bad guy racks the slide pulls the hammer back - "Now I'm serious!"

Ok! Ok! Now you're serious, I'll do what you say!

And make sure to always rack the slide when you are ready for.action, even if youve done it twelve times already

Racking the slide is one thing, but simply cocking the hammer is another. I always tried to convince myself that there was already a round chambered and the gun was double-action, and therefore cocking the hammer at least had some significance, meager though it might be. Like it was just one tiny step closer to firing.

I rarely succeeded, though. Then I just end up feeling insulted, like the producers think I'm stupid.

I think you're supposed to do that every time the gun clicks when there are no bullets.
bang
click
change magazine
pull side
bang again

My old .22 was like that

I can't remember exactly, but my friend's shotgun holds either 6 or 8. Movies aren't too bad when it comes to shotgun ammo.

By far the.most excessive ammunition farsity eas in the great movie army of darkness

Bruce campbell has a double barrel shotgun and, if i remember right, he rarely reloads unless its the end of an action sequence. Worse is the lever loader, i dont think he ever reloads it?

I think Army of Darkness was supposed to be stupid like that. Wasn't there a scene where he jumps on a shopping cart and start firing like a maniac while riding it? And he breaks a sword by shooting it.

Sure he didn't reload it exactly but he basically reloaded

Don't forget the sound of cocking a hammer on a striker fired weapon. Like Glocks and such.

Actually, there probably are some rifles that can be fired double action? Not sure

Not autos, but they do reset after last round so there will be one click if you don't reload before that happens.

It's more of a "chick" than a click though.

Winchesters do click as many times as you want to, so will old revolver guns but those are not autos.

I'd prefer them to at least be a little realistic on a 1911 handgun where they just push down on the safety and the hammer is already back.

And LOLagree at the typical:

1) we're in the car, everybody rack the slides
2) ok, we're at the door, everybody rack the slide
3) Got the good/bad guy at gun point, make sure to rack the slide to make they know you mean business

Proper gun safety. You should always un-cock the gun when it doesn't need to be cocked

Wrong. That's actually more dangerous. Safest and most useful is condition 1. Round chambered, hammer back, safety on. Most accidents come from condition 2 which is what you're describing. Depends on the weapon of course but that is proper 1911 condition. Ready to fire, safety on.

So you're suggesting people carry loaded guns WITH THE HAMMER BACK instead of carrying guns that are not yet cocked?

Seems really dangerous. When I put a loaded gun in the front of my pants, I think it's a real possibility that just the motion of my walking around and being cool would push the safety off.

The man is so scared that he sleeps with a gun with the safety off, cocked with one in the barrel on his nightstand.

He's so scared that i doubt he ever ventures outside his home without at least five lifguards, oh and he's going to start a revolution too, has been starting it for a few years, almost ready to go, unfortunatnly, as he is too scared of hoodlums to leave his house, he won't be participating.


He will scream racial slurs through his window to egg them on though.

That's why you carry in a good holster and not in the front of your pants. One of the few movies that I can remember that got it right was "silence of the lambs" where the actually has to pull her service weapon - she doesn't rack the slide or pull the hammer back, she pushes down on the safety with her thumb.

But sure, if you're gangsta then I wouldn't want a weapon around my dick ready to fire, I'd be condition 3. Not chambered, hammer down.

Nightstand is an Springfield XD/glock, trigger and grip safety only. Wife's side is her revolver. Pump shotgun ready to go, safety on close by. 1st floor is 1911, condition 3, hidden. Basement is an AR, ready to fire, hidden, safety on.

An unloaded weapon is a useless weapon. And I'm out on my nice deck enjoying the weather right now, 30 feet from a weapon ready to go.

Just like having a plan for a fire, we have a practiced plan of action.

That's because you're a dumbass. Buy a holster.

What if they come at you with a tank, you need to get some LAW's swiftly, and at least a minimi mounted behind every window.

Without that you'll never be safe!
