- When cleaning your weapon, always be on guard as you will be immediately attacked after reassembling it.

you know how to use every firearm in exsitence even if youve never seen one like it before.

Ok, thanks. Always wondered.

And in the movie, he switched because thats what the boys in the CIA were using.

If you are wearing a red shirt never go anywhere with Captain Kirk.

The staff weapon can blow holes clean through rock walls and kill Jaffa, but as long as you are part of SG1 you will only get a burned uniform and some chared flesh.

- while walking out in the open during the middle of a massive gunfight, no matter how many times you are hit, you can keep walking and walking while bleeding and keep shooting and you will not die.

Glocks have hammers, and can be cocked without racking the slide.

When you forget to take the safety off, you can still pull the trigger, but the gun just goes 'click' and doesn't fire...

The military has captured replicator technology from an alien crash site, and applied it to M-60 feed trays... Thus, the belt GROWS BACK into the tray as you fire the weapon..

After chasing down your target, allways corner them, get stuck in a stand-off, and then finally (while threatening to shoot eachother) chamber a round and/or cock your weapon. The other guy is allways an absolute idiot, and doesn't take this oppertunity to blow you away (or forgot to load up before he encountered you, and is doing the same thing you are)...

Land mines only go 'boom' if you step on them and then take your foot off. The concept of a mine that explodes immediately upon being stepped on is 'not possible'...

When defusing a 'simple' bomb (a stick-in detonator/cap inserted into a brick of plastique with 2 wires and a timer), the simple step of PULLING THE FUSE OUT OF THE EXPLOSIVES.

Repeat after me: 'there is no recoil'

9mm can penetrate a car's body and puncture the gas tank...

Getting shot with a bullet proof vest knocks you flat, and you must stay flat untill someone pulls the slug out of your vest, at which point you are back to 100%.

Bullet wounds to extremities and non-vital areas are harmless...

You can fire (on full auto, with no jams) blanks and real ammo from the same MP5 just by changing mags.

'Jungle taping/clamping' mags allows you to fire 60 rounds from 2 30rd mags without removing and inverting the mag...

All bullets (incl 9mm and .380) are incinedrary. If anything flammable gets shot, it's a 4-alarm event...

Cars come fresh from the factory with a tank of nitroglycerine in the trunk. Even the slightest fender-bender causes an explosion to rival a hellfire (or Movie-brand RPG) hit...

Rocket launchers fire rounds with the destructive power of a helicopter-launched antitank weapon.

Unguided LAWS rockets can 'lock on' to the 'heat signature' of a guy lighting up for a smoke in the rafters.

There exist 9mm rounds that when fired from a MAC-10 can penetrate the blade of a bulldozer. These rounds are loaded with bullets that look like the tip of a sharpened pencil, and are pinpoint accurate (despite there being no surface available to engage the pistol's rifling when fired)...

Stormtrooper Syndrome: NO ONE CAN HIT SH*T WITH ANY WEAPON, UNTILL THE 'CRUCIAL SCENE'. At this point, shooter, range and weapon do not matter, as whoever is supposed to 'make the shot' will...

Grenade launchers are 'super shotguns' to be fired at targets point blank, and aimed through rifle (not ladder) sights...

People build super-expensive, impenatrable secure or secret rooms, stock them with all manner of emergency gear, and hide the 'secret documents' or big stash of cash in there, but no weapons (not even an old rusty pump shotgun). ('Panic Room'. The whole movie could have ended right at the start if the 'secret room' had just ONE shotgun with a full tube)...

When the obvious solution to a problem is 'JUST SHOOT THE !#%!#%!#%', you have to try some other means of resolution (such as running away or screaming for help...

In the case of animal attack, burglar, or similar scenes, NO ONE ever has a gun. But get to that 'crucial' point, and the main character can shoot like a champ...

It is ok to let the BG shoot two patrol officers before you arrest him.  This way he can see your cool note and you can use the patrol car to ram the front of the house down.

M72s may be fired from inside any enclosed space with no ill effects due to that pesky back blast.

Rifle grenades fired by the GGs will always hit their target on the first try.

If you're a TV detective don't bother aiming, 'cause you're going to hit 'em in the left shoulder, no matter what.

Oh, yeah, and.....

Every nuclear weapon has a large LED countdown timer and a beeper to count off the seconds left until you die.

You have to disarm it, but don't worry about what the LED says, because you can't do it until the timer has two seconds left (union rules).  

And, even though it goes against every instinct, always cut the OTHER wire--that's the one that will safe the weapon.

Another fav, 1851 Navy Colts can be loaded with cartriges.  Love those Italian westerns.

Aircraft vulcan cannons make nice little puffs of sand when they hit the ground as our hero dances between them.  

In a war movie, you can actually hit something with every round full auto with a greese gun.

Always killed....
The new guy
The black guy
The nerd
The asshole
The big guy with a good heart
The buddy

Beautiful people always live..........

Worst movie or TV snafu is a who done it when the badguy is a character actor so you know he did it from the moment you see him or her.

- Never shoot the BG when he's making his speech about how his plans almost worked.   It's bad manners!

Aliens invade, but no one on a rural farm has a gun...

oops, wrong thread...

Always cut the red wire never the blue to disarm every explosive known to man.

-When being shot at on a fire escape or staircase, the railing makes excellent cover.  EVERY single round will strike the rail or its supports.

-A bloody man running down a crowded New York City street waving a gun and screaming will not draw undue attention.

-Glocks have external safeties that make a very audible "click" when you move your thumb at the side of the slide.

-While running from the BG's who are shooting at you, their bullets will only kick up little spouts of dirt directly at your heels.

-Tactical movement always includes jumping, rolling, and flipping between cover.  Usually while firing a gun in each hand.
