Meat Grinder Gat

The three Stooges...When they are cornered by bad guys and they pour ammunition into a meat grinder and Curley starts cranking...firing like a gatling gun, sending bad guys running!

The Getaway. Gotta love Steve McQueen's 1911 (some pretty good shotgun scenes too).

The remake of Miami Vice with Jamie Foxx and the other guy had awesome gun sounds effects.

Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon is a good gun movie but little known. Check it out.

Once again, EDIT...

Once again, I see the staff/webmasters have deleted my remarks from a member's posted topic.

My remarks were truthful and not rude, crass or insulting. They were based on facts and documented public source records but like the Bay County FL school board shooting posts, it looks like some forum members get treated more fairly than others.

To shoot from the back of the head and come out both eyes (trajectory showed the bullets criss crossed) you would have to hold the pistols at an awkward angle, elbows out and up in the air, so he figured out it was two people instead of one person with two guns.
Its movie. lol
LOL, no no, not literally the angle of the eye shooting, just Dafoe's odd-ball character in general!

Commando, LoneWolf McQuade, Miami Vice(2006), Public Enemies(2009)...

Great weapon heavy action films from the 1980s include Commando(which Ive heard may get a new remake soon ) & the Chuck Norris classic: LoneWolf McQuade(1983). www.IMDb.com
For years, I thought Norris used a 30-06 rifle but it was in fact a 7.62NATO/.308cal .
If you enjoy shooting guns & like action films, watch LoneWolf McQuade.
The 2006 Miami Vice film was ok but not great.
I had a chance to play one of the Russian thugs/bodyguards in 2005 but was working on other projects. I did not care for the big climax shooting at night. It was filmed on digital video(DV) and was distorted/confusing IMO. The "packing" scene where Sonny(Colin Ferell) racks his $3000 custom 1911a1 repeatedly is annoying.
Miami Vice was not nearly as good as Mann's hit film; Heat(1995).
The crime drama; Public Enemies was a let down too. Like Miami Vice it had cool guns but the firefights were poorly staged.
If you have a strong interest in how older firearms like the BAR, Tommy Gun SMG, rifles etc Public Enemies is worth a look.
