Favorite "gun" scene in a movie?

I need to return to my thread to add:

django unchained- the bit were the good doctor goes to shake hands with DiCaprio and instead draws his sleeve derringer and puts a hole through the daisy on his jacket. priceless. last words- "I couldn't resist."
 
The scene where Clint gets out of his truck to save the two kids out of their element was great even though he didn't even draw his gun. They all knew he would have. He is Clint after all. :)
 
Always like the shootout in HEAT with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro after the bank robbery.

TV: The opening scene to the first season of Justified when Marshal Raylan Givens talks Tommy Bucks into pulling first so he can be justified in shooting him in self-defense. I also love the way that decision has followed him the rest of what I have seen of the series. I'm almost through with the second season and it still keeps coming up. It's a good reminder to us all that even if you're justified in what you are doing there will be consequences you'll have to live with the rest of your life.

Movie: I would say a tie between the end of Live Free or Die Hard when John MClane shoots through his own shoulder to kill the bad guy so he can save his daughter. I love that act of sacrifice for a loved one. The tying scene is in The Outlaw Josie Wales when he is fighting the redlegs and he just keeps pulling out revolver after revolver. That and Pale Rider with his Remington 1858, I had to get one just because of that movie. :cool: Okay, pretty much any western. There's a reason my first handgun was a single action. :D
 
A la "Die Hard": Can you imagine what the muzzle blast of a 9mm fired while pressed against one's shoulder would do to the soft tissue?
 
Open Range ... when Costner and Duvall face off with the bad guys and Costner asks the guy with his arm in a sling "are you the one who shot our friend?" and he smugly answers " yeah and I killed the dog too." ... at which point Costner draws and puts one right between his eyes!

Makes my heart skip a beat every time I see it!
 
There have been many movies showing the discharge of just about anything and everything. If you want to see one gun fire that will stay with you the rest of your life. Watch something like the U.S.S. Missouri or the U.S.S. New Jersey spin there pop guns around and let loose a broad side. When you see a ship of that size actually being moved and rolled back now that is a movie scene that will be hard to beat. Also nothing like have a 35-38 mile reach on your opponent
 
Got to agree with the Quigley down under scenes with the Sharps Rifle "bucket" shot and the six-shooter at the end. ( never said I didn't know how to use it, just never had much use for one. Or something like that)

I watch that scene repeatedly - what a great start to a series. My favorite Raylan Givens quote after another attempt to criticize his adeptness: "Seriously, I don't know why we even carry guns anymore" ("we" meaning Marshals of course). Can't wait for this season to start!

Think the Heat scene is another best, for all the hardware if nothing else. Plus shooting through a windshield full auto from the inside...

All in, Josey Wales rules all.

Actually...speaking as a retired Chief Petty Officer...

Those battleships ain't moving sideways, even when they fire a 9 round broadside. Pictures which people typically point to as proof that they move are actually showing the effects of the shockwave on the water as it ripples out across the water and along the hull of the ship.

I use to believe it when people said "those old battleships would move 3 feet sideways when they fired all nine big guns", but it simply ain't true.

Just sayin'...

;)
 
Pale Rider

Clint's Remington 1858 when he is walking down the street in the final showdown and he rolls out the spent cylinder and rolls in a fresh one. Classic!
 
For me its a toss-up. both involve the Diva-goddess Helen Mirren.

- The first RED movie when she's firing the big .50 BMG in the parking garage.

- The Second RED movie when her and the asian agent are giving chase in the car and she says "Show me something" and he skids the car sideways and she's shooting out both windows in slow motion.

That woman can really get my heart thumpin and shes 24 years older than me.... Umm, please excuse me, I have to take a cold shower......
