LOL, and +1 for the nested link to TV Tropes too.

I am shocked and appalled that potato chips do not offer the protection that I thought they did. However, when the human body processes an adequate supply of potato chips, it can create a nearly impenetrable layer of body armor

I had a supposed gun owner on this very web site telling me you could suppress full house high power rifle loads to where you couldn't here them a few hundred yards away a couple of weeks ago.
It's not just the uninformed public that believe some of this stuff.

What about the Glocks that make the hammer sound in tv shows?

Or the metalic noise of putting a "clip" into a glock?

 

[IndyGunner]

Or when they enter a room and the trigger is in the pressed position. But it shoots somehow lol.

Lets not forget the decocked 1911 that somehow fires. I swear, it's in every other movie.

Yeah, I've seen that plenty of times. DAO GLOCKS being single-actioned for door-breaking-down/forced entry scenes of awesomeness. Silly.

I like the hammer is cocked entering a room ,hammer is down negotiating ,gun changes to some other brand of pistol then hammer is cocked again

You also have jammed guns with a stove pipe that still keep shooting for some reasons.

A few more crazy myths.
1. A concealed Kangaroo carry will cause women to gravitate towards you at supermarkets.
2. Lasers work really good in daylight.
3. The bad guy will always say something like "can I have your wallet", and wait for you to draw, aim and fire. (take a close combat class)
4. Guns never misfire. (wish this was true)
5. It is cheap to buy ammo, and that a few hundred rounds down range will make you an expert shot.
