Well gee, I guess I have never watched a movie or TV show, and I have never undergone firearms safety training or fired a real gun with real bullets.
Yep, you got me there.
You are the expert.
X = unknown Spurt = drip under pressure.
Now I am going to guess that when a gun is pointed at a motion camera, there is either bulletproof glass in front of the camera, or the camera operator is off to the side. I don't know what movie protocol is, but I DO know that the #1 rule of safe gunhandling is to NEVER point a gun at another person, if you don't intend to shoot that person. You NEVER pull the trigger of a gun while it is pointed at another person. BALDWIN VIOLATED THAT RULE.
You can't win here.
Movie makers take all kinds of stupid risks that result in the deaths of actors and crew much too often.
Hot mess obviously knows a helluva lot about guns because he saw them on TV and in movies. He's a liar, a clown, a moron and a hundred other descriptors that define a worthless POS. I'll go with the #1 descriptor: WRONG

I have seen straight into a muzzle of a gun dozens of times in movies. You are just wrong about that. Guns are pointed straight at cameras all the time. Safety on a set is simple. Live rounds should never be there, EVER, regardless of where the gun is pointed.

I think it happens more often than we are aware. I'm neither a firearms expert or a movie stunt expert, but sound and most smoke and muzzle flashes are all post-production sound effects and CGI nowadays anyway, so it begs the Q, why bother even with real guns at all? |

Most movie goers would be fooled by one like this. It would take a gun savvy person to know that the front sight is not an accurate reproduction.

Movie makers are not known for historical accuracy anyway. I have seen many a western or Civil War movie that used guns that weren't even invented yet during the time period depicted.
I recently watched "Band of Brothers again, and in one scene, a GI stuck a .45 automatic directly in the face of a German shopkeeper. The camera angle was over the GI's shoulder, and the 1911 had a set of white dot sights! Those things did not exist in WWII.
If you want gun authenticity, do NOT rely on movies or TV.
In the meantime, have a gun-owning friend take you shooting. It may not convince you to own your own gun, but you will find it is FUN, and requires some pretty decent eye-hand coordination to do it.
A .22 rimfire weapon has no recoil and isn't very loud, so the shooting experience will not intimidate you.
Get away from the office, books, and THIS PLACE.
FTR, I have a much larger arsenal than most killers or criminals (at least the ones I have seen who are caught), and I have absolutely NO desire to harm another person with one.

That's a good question, since there are replica guns that look EXACTLY like the real thing.

Look at those shitty woke, perverted cartoons that people like Disney are coming out with. I'd rather watch Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, Popeye, and wholesome cartoons like THAT.
Look at the shit list from last weekend. I wouldn't watch a single one of them.

Why do they use real anything? Sells tickets, perhaps. From 1980 to 1990, there were 37 deaths relating to accidents during stunts; 24 of these deaths involved the use of helicopters. According to an article by the New York Times following the fatal shooting incident on the film set of Rust, there have been at least 194 serious accidents in American television and film sets from 1990 to 2014, and at least 43 deaths.

www.imdb.com/chart/boxoffice/ Uh...wholesome? The central theme repeated in probably half of all Popeye cartoons has one character (Brutus) abducting and sexually assaulting another (Olive Oyl) only to be saved by a good guy third character beating the shit out of the bad guy first character. Don't get me wrong. I like the very early Popeye cartoons for the quality of the animation and some of the clever dialog, but the storylines? While the lesson might be 'in the end, good guy always beats bad guy'...wholesome? Yeah...not so much. |

A lot of movies don't even use real ACTORS any more!

If you believed any of that was real, even when you were only 5 years old, then that proves why you can't think straight today. Popeye is probably the reason I always liked spinach.
And the bad guy was named "Bluto." Personally, I never understood why Popeye liked a walking broomstick with a horrible Yankee voice, although he wasn't exactly a chick magnet.
The damsel in distress theme has been around forever. Just ask Shakespeare.
