Title: Bang, bang, ...click
Post by: dirsh on November 25, 2014, 01:19:23 AM
Have you guys ever noticed in movies when they're shooting and run out of ammo, the gun goes click on the last trigger pull regardless of gun type? I always thought it was silly but just for dramatic effect. The worst is when the hero (or villain) is shooting a semi auto pistol and suddenly runs out of ammo, but continues to pull the trigger in disbelief, and the gun keeps clicking... Or maybe the worst is when it's a single action semi that keeps clicking..

Then they have to throw it for dramatic effect.

You mean, yours doesn't do that? 

Thought they all did, after all, liberals get all their firearms knowledge from movies.

Of all the movie inaccuracies regarding firearms, you're going to pick on "click?"  Personally, I love how any substance in a movie stops a bullet.  Sheetrock, empty 55 gallon drums (and why are there always piles of empty 55 gallon drums around?) car doors, trees...

If those items did not stop bullets, there would be nobody left to finish the story.
Entertainment as we know it would cease to exist.

Or when they fire an automatic for 30 seconds with a 30 round mag.

I love the endless mag.  :D

There appears to be another tube behind the optic just at the bottom of the pic.
Then there is that wire from the foregrip to ????
Also, what is that clip thing on the base of the mag?

I suppose that other tube is a night vision of some sort.  His character takes it off as daylight comes to the camp they're in.  I think that wire goes to the dbal mounted in front of the red dot.  Not sure what that clip is on the bottom of the mag.  Maybe it's a reminder to the prop guy that - "opposite end goes in the rifle"  :rofl:

The more I look at that pic, the more I think that big tube is a laser illuminator offset mounted.
I think the other tube is a scope of some sort mounted in line with the bbl.
That would explain the wire to the foregrip.

Well then, it's not a laser illuminator. I don't think they existed when that movie was made. Probably an old model laser device. That's why so big.
...11 years ago.

Here's an example.  And, once she finally reloads, see if she ever chambers a round before firing again!  I couldn't see where she could have!   

Of course, the gun-related bloopers ruin an otherwise plausible story line  ...   :rofl:

lol
I just figured those topics have been beat to death

The click just came to mind while watching Lone Survivor, which is supposedly painstakingly realistic. Dude was shooting his SPR that went click when empty. Would've been more realistic if he did a check and malfunction clear after the click


AND ANOTHER THING... pisses me off to no end that  when these guys run out of ammo from their M4s, they don't pick up enemy AKs and fight with those. When they run out of 223 they switch to pistol, then when that runs out they die. There's an endless number of bad guys bringing an endless number of weapons straight to you. There's AKs all over the ground!
