You know I was watching a Bond movie the other night and what utter crap. I mean a real spy would be a mid level manager and simply go through the trash of the agency he was working for. Laser watch my hairy butt.
Seriously though. Movies are suppossed to be escapism fun. If you want to enjoy real world gun play watch the news. It happens close, close, close, fast, fast, fast and the wrong people get shot lots of times.
As an aside, technically speaking, one, not me of course, but one could technically rip the slide off a Beretta like that. 99% would get shot first but it COULD happen. More likely to push it out of battery.
Do I even need to discuss Top Gun and the F5.....ahhh I mean MIGS in that movie???
I am a car guy, gun guy, IT guy, have some medical experience, worked for a major metro PD and am generally a jack of all trades. I love me some unrealistic movies. If I wanted realism........I would go back to my life. Movies are meant to be fun for me. Sometimes a certain level of realism can add to it but overall I want fun.
As far as fighting and guns and knives go realism is bloody, fast, close, ugly and unsettling. Realistic violence turns my stomach to be honest. Give me True Lies any day vs. Schindlers List(not a bad movie just unsettling as it should be).
