Only shake my head when the movie is supposed to be the real deal.
Act of Valor was one where despite the cast they did some stupid shit. |

Yes. My wife is tired of hearing me state the lack of any shell casings hitting the floor/ground especially when she is watching "The Following".

Love how no one ever has a round in the chamber, always showing slide racks and shotgun pumps on the first shot kills me...

It's a fucking movie, not Chesty's autobiography, it's a story not Alvin York's memoir, it's a movie not War as I Knew it.

There are a million things that need attention in a film. As long as there's a clear attempt at quality and accuracy, it doesn't bother me too much. Armorers don't always have access to exactly the right gun; shots of people reloading sometimes get edited out for time constraints; etc. etc.
Some stuff is unforgivable though. There's no excuse for a backwards scope or an outrageously anachronistic firearm. |

I'm not sure why, but I roll my eyes right out of my head when I see stuff in movies like 100x magnification and electronic ranging reticles when the hero looks through his Aimpoint or when simply picking up an AR results in all sorts of clicking and clacking or when 1911's magically carry 27 rounds. It's one thing when it's in a low budget whatever but when it's supposed to be an accurate period based flick or even just halfway believable, I expect the details to be spot on.  |

My sons 12 and 10 critique the movies gun "fails" constantly. They also name all the guns and the calibers. It is funny when friends visit and my sons say. "Fake, not loud enough, without hearing protection everyone in the room would be deaf, no muzzle lift, no recoil, why do they rack the gun every time?, doesn't anyone carry condition 1?, that scopes on backwards, why do they have a scope and always hip fire? It goes on and on and makes me proud.

Not really. It's entertainment. A documentary? I expect that to be a little more concerned with accuracy.
I realized long ago that 90% of what we are told and shown is bullshit, regardless who's telling or showing. |

My favorite is when a subgun with a 32 rd mag and a 600rpm cyclic rate can lay down suppressing fire like a belt fed with a nine yard belt.

I am getting old but last week I watched a guy hold up a glock ( I think) and say he was going to shoot, target said no you won't, guy then proceeds to pull the non existing hammer back with his thumb.
Firing one shot into the gas tank of a car and there is a hug explosion. Myth Busters proved you could not blow up a gas tank with a fired round. Getting into a long distance firefight with a pistol and out shooting the guy with the rifle. |

I once saw a movie that had a small but important Combat Scene in it. An M60 machine in the scene was shooting blanks.
Seriously: The rounds being fed into the machine gun had crimps where the bullets were supposed to be:
