On the TV right now... Girl trying to save kidnapped baby... Had handgun in hand. Bad walking toward her. Gets right up to her. She pulls trigger, click, no boom. I think, gun isn't loaded? Bad guy takes gun from her hand and says "next time, you might want to take the safety off".




........ it's a Glock. :facepalm:




So what are the funniest firearms mess-ups in movies that you've seen? Not just the standard unlimited ammo type stuff, but something that made you really laugh inside, or facepalm?

If you've watched Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the bar scene where a naked T-2 beats up a bar full of biker outlaws, one biker (whose hands have been horribly burnt in the fight) pulls out a 1911... and fails to rack the slide because he carried Condition 3 (full mag, empty chamber, hammer down).
Because I'm sure an OUTLAW would carry in a "government prescribed" manner.:rolleyes:
Sarah Connor handles herself B E A U T I F U L L Y (;)) in that movie though.
Robert Patrick (the T-1000) makes for a more convincing cyborg. Should have gotten an Oscar or something for it.

One of my favorites that I see all the time... pulling the trigger multiple times on an unloaded striker fired pistol and getting multiple "clicks" as a result.

NO VA, ,
The Good The Bad and the Ugly.
Scene near the end where the three bad guys are in the center of the cemetery.
Lee Van Cleef has a cap and ball revolver, and .45 cartridges in his gun belt.

MANY 'Cowboy' movies where the bad guy threatens the good guy with a SAA and the hammer isn't cocked in one frame, and magically it is in the next.

From many movies and tv shows; a loud gun cocking sound effect from simply pointing the gun at someone.

AND there are no caps on the 58 remy.
