Most of the obvious stupid doesn't bother me so much. I'm used to it, and hey, it's the movies. It's not just guns, either.
Horse movies are horribly off, too. Hildago was supposed to be a lean mustang capable of long distance endurance races, yet the movie starred a very fat quarter horse. And War Admiral (from Seabiscuit) was not 18 hands high. He was a thourghbred, not a draft horse for pete's sake!

The annoying ones are when they are this close > < to getting it right and then FAIL at the last minute. Oh, wow! Bad guy took the magizine! But the cop is smart! She knows there's one in the chamber! Haha! She mentions that it's not like the movies and shoots the round in the chamber! Wait! How did her slide lock back without an empty mag? :facepalm:
