I always loved "The A Team." They would fire thousands of rounds per episode...and no one ever got hit!

I pity da fool!

Hilarious! You know those FBI guys are always trying to show off their mag holders

And take a look at "boy agent" on the right. Hmmm, unless he is CPA or a masters in computer engineering, it's hard to see how he made agent at 19 - especially as they like to see three to five years in local law enforcement.

If you watch the show, he looks more like 26-30 than 19. It's Harold from Harold and Kumar.

Besides the bad holster positioning, I think the show is pretty cool. It's a new idea.

Movies do it, the media does it, and many shooters do it.

Calling a MAGAZINE a CLIP. They are 2 different things, as the photos show

Here is one I cant stand, it is not gun related , but I hate it when a vehicle squeals the tires on a DIRT road!

Never mind that he clearly bought a Franchi that can be loaded by pump action or semi-automatic.

Silencers. For those who don't know, silencers don't actually make a gun any less loud; they only disguise the sound. Real silencers make a very metallic-sounding "BBBRRRIIINNNNGGGG!!!" sound, not the "Psew!" Star Wars type of sound like in the media.

Really? Do you actually own and use one regularly? Mine makes no such metalling "BBBRRRIIINNNNGGGG!!!" sound. It's quite the "Psew!" sound. In fact...I'd venture to say that with subsonic rounds it's quieter than a bb gun. I have fired from my grandparents back porch less then 10 feet from an open window and NO ONE sitting inside in recliners right next to the window heard it.
Even with regular supersonic rounds it's quite muffled as well and about the only sound you hear is the supersonic crack of the round breaking the sound barrier.

I always like good looking babes carrying some big gun on their hip. It looks so out of place. Angelina Jolie as Laura Croft with those big guns strapped to her legs. They look so heavy that they wobble back and forth while she walks/runs.

I've never heard of a double action automatic de-cocking 1911, have you?

Sure I have! I saw it on The Sopranos!!

Ahhh, the always accurate snubbie. Ever watch the old movies/tv where they take down a nest of BG's with a snubbie and no reloads. Wow!
