I cringe inside, every time I see an SA fanned, a SxS flipped shut, or a DA "Bogarted" by being flipped shut. I know there are dedicated gear heads out there that break out in virtual tears seeing a classic car being bashed, thrashed, and often trashed in the movies.
Nobody cares much if the prop gets damaged as long as they get the shot the director wants.

I also cringed. Afterwards, at home, looking at the firearm with its new hammer position was very depressing with mixed feelings of helplessness and waves of anger.
I tore a roll of toilet paper up into very small pieces while swearing profusely.
That helped a bit.
