Descriptions of dumb Hollywood guns, what’s yours. - Page 2

The TV show Hell on Wheels has a main character that uses a brass frame Remington when they specifically address it as a Griswold and Gunnison.

Whats worse is that the brass frame Remington isn't even Period correct until italians started reproducing them in the 70s or so.

It always irritates me when a muzzeloader is shown and fired with the frizzen tipped forward. Then the sound effect is usually a smokeless rifle shot rather that the che-boom of a flintlock.

9 shot double barrel shotguns.

A Teams mini 14's that can never hit a person but blows the hood off of all cars

15 shot revolvers

The never ending belt on M-60's.... Stallone.. I'm looking squarely at you.

Pistol grip 12 gauges that some wimp has ZERO problem controlling

Lots of choices to go

I think the dumbest of all Hollywood prop guns was the crotch gun used in the movie Dusk till Dawn. Don't think I would be willing how bad the recoil would be down there.

Pretty sure anything traveling close to light would still have some mass, and therefore whenever it hits something will compress the attendant atoms so close together as to reach critical mass (fission, fusion, or a black hole; take yer pick)

Probably not too advantageous in a short range small arm, but would be totally epic from the shooter's perspective when time freezes as he falls past the event horizon
