Has anyone ever seen these shows? Crap like this shouldnt even be allowed on TV. Every actor with a weapon ALWAYS has their finger on the trigger, no matter what the situation.
Killing shots are made from extreme ranges with eyes closed, head turned the other direction, shooting upside down, in mid-air, "gangsta" style, etc. They take out choppers, tanks, and cars with pistols! Anyone ever notice the low pressure gasoline explosions produced by land mines, hand granades, etc? Or the way the actors all wear bikinis and speedos into combat? They NEVER, EVER reload, and the sound effects are all wrong. Every weapon makes clicking sounds when it it is picked up, like theres a bunch of loose parts rattling around. One of the actors levels a side by side 12 gauge, and we hear the noise of a pump action cycling. In one scene, an AK is fired into a concrete wall from a distance of five feet. the other actors come along later and extract the round from the wall. The bullet is still in perfect shape and the actors are able to ascertain that its a "7.62 communist" round. Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest. I have a pet peeve with shows like this.
