Cringe worthy Moment

[gerhard1]

In the movie Monuments Men

At least to me, was when they were training with their weapons. One of the team is shooting a revolver and he slams the cylinder into the frame by flicking his wrist.

This is extremely hard on the gun, yet it is still seen in many movies, I suppose because it looks professional, but only to those who don't know guns.

Admittedly minor, but I still cringed when he did it.

I hate it when the sheriff uses the butt of his revolver to nail a wanted poster up in many westerns.

Nails were much softer back then

I had to quit watching NCIS New Orleans. Every time something happened and they were leaving the office, Pride would have to go to the filing cabinet to get his pistol. I guess he needs a more comfortable holster.
It just drives me crazy like waiting to chamber a round until you’re being shot at.

And here we thought the left was so easily offended...We're just as bad, we just pick better topics!

Hehe yeah... or chambering more than one before firing (often when they get/load the gun, then again when they're about to get shot).

Or when a Glock is cocked.

Lol, yeah. Also annoys me when the hero blinks every time he/she fires.

You'd think somewhere in Hollywood there'd be a firearms expert for hire.

Lethal weapon is one of my favorite all-time movie series, but I always cringe when Riggs holds up a FMJ and says, "I even got a ******* hollow point to do the job right!"

Lol, idiots.

That drives me crazy!! We have a weekly eat and sometimes shoot in Ponca with one token dimocrat on Tuesdays.
The discussion came up two days ago about how you carry your gun. One in the chamber or not.
I was the only one that said locked and loaded. I argued my case and argued why they leave them in the glove box or center console when your greatest time of danger is leaving or coming back to your vehicle.
The only comment was they didn't want to shoot themself in the foot if they carried them and had to draw from the waistband or pocket.
I've got a lot of training to do.
Yeah, 4 of 7 are veterans.

Yeah, lots of training and education I see in your future if they permit the cloudiness of their minds to be expunged.
