Hello everyone,

I read a website that likes to make fun of various topics including Hollywood. I thought that I would post this link to one of their articles, which focuses on guns and Hollywood. It is entitled "5 Ridiculous Gun Myths Everyone Believes (Thanks to Movies)".

They forgot my favorite, let's call it #6

When good guys run out of bullets they toss their $600 Glock away rather than re-holster it.

But of course, since the other 200 Glocks you already own also must have a chance to be fired

I like how hip firing a full auto gun and waiving it back and forth is just as accurate as shoulder fire. #7 maybe?

Possibly #8.....shoot a car more than twice and it will explode....

They forgot to mention that EVERYONE falls immediately when hit with a handgun round.

Except good guys, who are apparently merely inconvenienced by multiple handgun hits.

My favorite line...right at the end.

Everything we know is wrong. If those of us raised on action movies have to fend off a Red Dawn-style invasion, it's going to be a total cluster****.

What's this "we" ****...have you been taking French or do you have a mouse in your pocket? Great line about red-dawn though.
