5 Ridiculous Gun Myths (thanks to the movies)

[ravens52]

I like when they shoot a 1911 limp wristed "gansta" style and the gun NEVER stovepipes.

My favorite is when they punch out with the gun while it recoils as opposed to it jerking back as it recoils like they are trying to throw the bullet out of the gun.

Look I'm not the expert but this guy does all these tests at APG for the military he is able to explain it a lot better that me and he's like a god damn encyclopedia for firearms. He does it for a living. Unless you can boast the same claim, I'm gonna go with what he said.

I agree...

I was going to calculate the acceration for a .223 but said the heck with it. That piece of copper/lead is acclerating from 0 to 3000 fps. It will still have good amount of accelertion left after it exits the barrel. The acceration will immediately begin to deteriorate, but it will still be gaining speed.

Yeah and swinging the gun as you fire will make the bullets flight path curve in the direction you want it to. That has to be the biggest hollywood gun/ballistics fail ever!
