I was watching a movie the other day- typical hollywood movie. Person's got the finger in the trigger guard, etc. etc. In one of the scenes, the main character is shot at from a distance of about 35 yards- and she draws her snubby revolver and fires. In the typical H fasion, the bad person falls- the camera focusing in on the dead body to reveal that the heroine (I hope I spelled female hero, not the drug) had placed a well placed shot smack dab in the middle of the head. Is this a possibility? She had her back turned when she was fired upon, and she fired as soon as she turned around. What type of training exercises can you guys do to simulate this?
While we're at this, what are some ridiculously unrealistic gun handling we have seen?Let me get a few cliched ones out of the way
-Sniper rifles. Till I began to get interested and read up, I thought that to shoot a sniper rifle, all you had to do with get your cross on the target and fire when it was centered. Then came the knowledge of windage and drop calculations.
-Infinite ammo. Yeah, we've all seen this. Interestingly enough, many realistic video games now help dispell the myth of the infamous infinite ammo.
Let's hear em.
