Wrong depiction of firearms in movies

[Sgt Nambu]

My most tactical rifle is an AUG with an ACOG....

Don't need more tactical than the cold war designs.

Not until they invent the plasma rifle that is.

Well, that's pretty danged tacical! Wish I could afford one!

Yet when put in the hand's of director / writer John Milius, it usually works.

It is pretty tactical... Until you realize its pretty much just a full sized rifle in a shorter package. Then its just shooting a regular rifle that happens to take less space and points easier.

It doesn't have those fancy gadgets that folk put on their ARs these days...

Too tactical! Look at all that smoke, its conceals your spot when you fire so you can make a tactical retreat!

I also enjoy watching bullets sending 200 pound men flying backwards through the air like they were hit with a bowling ball fired from a cannon.

Last Man Standing comes to mind with Bruce Willis

Too many mistakes. But for the trivia part... you can trace the whole "being hit by bullets causes 200lb men to fly over backwards" to "Shane", a Western; whose director or producer, not sure which...wanted to exaggerate the effects of being hit by a bullet instead of people just crumpling/dropping like potatoes.

EDIT: The nice thing is that Sharps still makes them and you can get one just like it, 45-110 and all. I wants me one.

Shiloh Sharps of Montana, for sure. Not certain about Christian Sharps down the street, though.

If I'd bought the one for sale here in yUK on Guntrader about five years ago, I could have sold it for double what I paid for it.

A pal here has a .54 loose-loader Shiloh that he isn't using any more, on account he doesn't live in Texas anymore. It is truly coming in to its patina stage now, being almost thirty years old, and is a joy to see and shoot. Only thing stopping me from buying it is poverty and an over-officious county chief constable and his odd take on firearms' ownership.

...roll cage" and some of the other over use of add on items , that is there just to look cool for the movies , has done much to influence many in the gun world ... to my chagrin.
Andy

I guess that, for some reason, they left the wheels off for that part of the movie, right?

John Wick 2 and suppressors make gun shots "dead silent" so that people walking next to you cannot even tell you are having a gunfight with another man becuase they can't here the gunfire in a completely silent room.
