I happened to be flipping through the channels yesterday and NCIS was on. One character was discussing a murder that had been comitted with a .40S&W and said "it's sometimes called .40 Short & Wimpy but I don't know why." Mark Harmon's character replied "because it doesn't have the power of a 10mm auto cartridge." I was kind of impressed that the script writer was knowledgable enough to know that since I know some fairly experienced shooters who've never even heard of 10mm Auto. Anyone else seen anything firearms related on TV that was kind of impressive?
