OK, I have a fairly recent one, from the Sheriff Longmire series on the A&E cable channel.

The bullet that killed the victim was a .45 rifle bullet, so it had to have been a .45-70 and that had to have been fired from a Sharps, which had to mean an antique from the 1800's.

Wrong on so many points. And, to be fair to the TV people, all that hooey came from the book that started the series. Except for weakness in the area of guns, the books are great!

Who likes the series even if they make many silly gun mistakes. And who won't even mention the 700 yard off-hand shot taken with the Sharps, which hit the targeted person.
