Re: Bad firearms 101 in TV and Film

I'll leave most of the firearm inaccuracies to you guys. But the one big one that bothers me the most I will mention, and that is the one shot that completely incapacitates the bad guy. Bang! He's down, threat over.
Let me preface the rest by pointing out that I'm neither LEO, mil or ex-mil. I've no tactical training, so that probably puts me closer to the "general public" than a lot of you guys. Still, I have to roll my eyes and sigh when:
*The good guy is sneaking up on the bad guy, and his shoes sound like he's got taps on them. All bad guys must be deaf.
*The good guy throws away his gun/knife or what ever to make it a "fair fight."
*The good guys are escaping the bad guys by running up/down a stair well. They check doors on every floor until they find one unlocked and duck into it. The bad guys go right past, never checking any door.
*Standing there with your gun pointed at somebody who has their gun pointed at you, and talking rather than shooting.
*The good guys putting their guns down so the bad guy will talk to them.
*Entering an area (room/warehouse) backlight from the outside.
*Professional assassins being fooled by a drug that slows the heart, and not busting cap in the good guy's head to be sure.
There are many more, and as I think of them I may come back and add to this list. Right now I've got to meet my wife.
