IMI Desert Eagle<\/a> Semi-Automatic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n“Double Action” (DA) pistols automatically cock the hammer when the trigger is pulled.\u00a0 Even with the hammer down, if a round is chambered, pulling the trigger fires the round.<\/p>\n
Most DA pistols allow both SA and DA modes of firing, where you can pull the hammer back (SA) for a more accurate shot, or simply rely on DA mode, and pull the trigger.<\/p>\n
A DA pistol typically has a much longer trigger pull, because the shooter is using the trigger to pull the hammer back.\u00a0 Conversely, an SA pistol has a much shorter, crisper trigger pull, because the sole function of the trigger is simply to release the hammer.\u00a0 If the hammer isn’t “cocked”, the trigger does nothing.<\/p>\n
The purpose of a safety, usually a button or lever on the side of the gun, is to block the trigger and prevent the gun from being fired.<\/p>\n
Scene:\u00a0 The action hero pops off several rounds, and the camera cuts to a quick closeup of the hero holding the gun, only to reveal that it couldn’t have fired, either because the safety is on, or because it’s a single-action pistol, and the hammer is down.<\/em><\/p>\nWhen you see someone firing a semi-automatic pistol on TV or in a movie, look carefully at the hammer and safety.\u00a0 If the hammer isn’t pulled back on a single action handgun, or the safety is engaged on any gun, then the gun isn’t really ready to fire, and could not have just been fired!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Cocking the Hammer or Racking the Slide for Dramatic Effect<\/span><\/h3>\nScene 1:\u00a0 Our hero has his gun pointed at the bad guy.\u00a0 The bad guy refuses to surrender, so our hero racks the slide<\/span> on his semi-auto pistol, to demonstrate that he’s serious.<\/em><\/p>\nJust… no.<\/p>\n
\n- If the gun WAS chambered, the hero just ejected an unfired round that he might need later.\u00a0 The gun is now in the same state before he racked the slide – chambered and ready to fire, but now there is an unspent cartridge on the floor somewhere.<\/li>\n
- If the gun was NOT chambered, then the gun could not possibly have been fired prior to chambering, and the threat of being shot was hollow to begin with.\u00a0 The bad guy could have simply (at a leisurely pace) pulled his gun and shot the hero before he had time to rack the slide, aim, and fire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Scene 2:\u00a0 Our hero has his 1911 pistol pointed at the bad guy.\u00a0 The bad guy refuses to surrender, so our hero cocks the hammer<\/span> of his pistol, to demonstrate that he’s serious.<\/em><\/p>\nThe Colt 1911, Browning Hi-Power, and Colt Single-Action Army are all examples of single-action pistols that will not fire<\/strong> unless the hammer is already cocked.<\/p>\n\n- IF the hero’s gun is double-action, then cocking the hammer means a more accurate shot.\u00a0 That’s menacing.\u00a0 That comes across as a threat.<\/li>\n
- If the hero’s gun is single action, then it was never ready to fire in the first place!\u00a0 A single action pistol requires that the shooter cock the hammer before firing.\u00a0 Pointing an unready weapon at someone is not a threat.\u00a0 There’s always the chance that the bad guy could pull a chambered Glock and kill the hero before he has time to cock the hammer, aim, and fire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Incorrect Sound Effect<\/span><\/h3>\nThere are three basic gun sound effects, other than the actual gunfire:<\/p>\n
\n- Racking the slide to load a round:\u00a0 The shooter sharply pulls the slide back, with a mechanical “CHICK”, then releases it, allowing the slide to load a round and slide in to battery with another mechanical “CHICK”.\u00a0 When racking the slide, you hear “CHICK CHICK” or sometimes “KA CHICK CHICK”.\u00a0 If the slide is locked back after firing the last round, the hero loads a new magazine and presses the slide release, “CHICK”, bringing the gun in to battery.<\/li>\n
- Reloading an automatic:\u00a0 The magazine makes a mechanical “SHHH” sound as it slides against the magazine well.\u00a0 If it hits the ground, you might hear “SHHH CLUNK”.\u00a0 When the shooter loads a new magazine, you hear “SHHH CLICK” as the magazine locks in to place.\u00a0 If he presses the slide release, you hear “CHICK” to bring the gun in to battery.<\/li>\n
- Cocking the Hammer:\u00a0 The shooter pulls the hammer back.\u00a0 The gun’s lockwork normally has two hammer positions, so you hear “click CLICK”.\u00a0 If the gun is already at half-cock (the hammer’s safe position), all you hear is “CLICK”.\u00a0 If the gun is a revolver, you might hear the mechanical lockwork advancing the cylinder to align the next chamber, and you would hear “click click CLICK”.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Scene 1:\u00a0 The hero menacingly points his gun at the bad guy.\u00a0 We hear “CHICK CHICK”, as if the hero racked his slide.<\/em><\/p>\nNo.<\/p>\n
Scene 2:\u00a0 The hero inserts a new magazine, and we hear “CHICK CHICK”.<\/em><\/p>\nYou would hear “SHHH CLUNK…CHICK”<\/p>\n
Scene 3:\u00a0 The hero draws his weapon from its holster, and we hear “CHICK CHICK”.<\/em><\/p>\nYou would hear nothing except a rubbing noise as the gun exits its holster.\u00a0 If he happened to pull the hammer back, you might hear “click CLICK” or “CLICK”.<\/p>\n
Scene 4:\u00a0 The hero pulls the hammer back “click CLICK” on his Glock or other hammerless pistol.<\/em><\/p>\nGlocks don’t have a hammer.\u00a0 There is nothing to “cock”.\u00a0 If you dry fire (pull the trigger on an empty chamber) a Glock, you hear “BOING” because a Glock has a striker instead of a hammer and firing pin.<\/p>\n
Scene 5:\u00a0 The hero pulls the hammer back on his Baretta 92, and you hear “CHICK CHICK”.<\/em><\/p>\nThe sound editor has confused the hammer cock “click CLICK” with a slide rack “CHICK CHICK”.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Myth:\u00a0 Fired or Ejected Cartridges<\/span><\/h2>\nAs we’ve seen, a “cartridge” is the fully-assembled round, consisting of a bullet at the tip, which is actually the part that flies off

I’ve seen a few movies or TV shows where the prop guys clearly don’t understand how guns work.<\/p>\n
Scene 1:\u00a0 The Action hero wildly fires round after round at the bad guys.\u00a0 The camera pans to the ground, showing a few, scattered, un<\/strong>-fired cartridges!<\/em><\/p>\nScene 2:\u00a0 The crime scene technician surveys the scene, and pries a fired “bullet” out of the wall, or discovers a spent “shell case” behind some furniture, but somehow manages to hold up a whole cartridge for the camera!<\/em><\/p>\nScene 3: \u00a0The killer shoots the victim twice with a revolver, and immediately leaves. \u00a0Somehow, the crime scene technician finds an empty case that should still be sitting inside the gun, because revolvers don’t automatically eject spent cartridges.<\/em><\/p>\nFortunately, most movies or shows with decent production values have the budget to hire a firearms adviser, who can help filter out these bullet mistakes.\u00a0 Even though they are rare, when these mistakes happen, it makes the credibility laughable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Myth:\u00a0 Firing a Handgun “Gangster” Style<\/span><\/h2>\nThis shooting style seems to have originated in the 1990’s, where the shooter rotates the gun rotated to the left, firing it oriented horizontally.<\/p>\n
This shooting style has a number of problems:<\/p>\n
\n- The weapon’s sights are useless!<\/strong>\u00a0 Normally, the sights are on top of the gun, adjusted to a specific elevation.\u00a0 Firing it sideways, if you use the sights, would tend to put\u00a0 your shots below and to the left of the target.\u00a0 Rather than compensating for bullet drop and parallax as they are supposed to do, the sights are now compensating for gravity that’s now acting in the wrong direction.<\/li>\n
- Sighting along the side of the slide is pointless.<\/strong>\u00a0 You can’t aim accurately across a flat piece of metal.\u00a0 Worse, if the slide is tapered, this will tend to push your point of aim above the target, where you might miss completely.<\/li>\n
- Recoil and muzzle flip.<\/strong>\u00a0 Normally, recoil pushes the gun back slightly, along the line of the barrel.\u00a0 Because the barrel is usually located above the wrist when firing, recoil can produce “muzzle flip”, where the gun rotates upward when fired.\u00a0 With the gun oriented to the left, the barrel will tend to flip to the left when fired, making a second, accurate shot much harder.<\/li>\n
- Ejected cases<\/strong>.\u00a0 Normally, empty cases are ejected either to the right and slightly behind the shooter, or out of the top.\u00a0 If you fire a weapon that ejects to the right, rotated to the left, the empty cases will now hit you in the face.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
As far as anyone can tell, the “gangster” shooting style originated as a Movie and TV myth, because no one who has ever actually fired a gun would decide to start shooting that way<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Myth:\u00a0 Firing Guns Under Water<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/span>Firing Completely Submerged<\/span><\/h3>\nScene 1: In many movies and TV shows, we see a climactic underwater struggle between good and evil, where the gun goes off under water, killing hero or villain.<\/em><\/p>\nWhen you pull pull the trigger of a handgun, the hammer is released, which then strikes the firing pin, which strikes the primer of the cartridge.<\/p>\n
In air, the hammer falls instantly, imparting all of its kinetic force directly in to the firing pin.<\/p>\n
Under water<\/strong><\/em>, when the hammer is released, it must push the water out of its path, tremendously slowing the velocity, and thus the momentum of the hammer as it falls.<\/p>\nWith a rifle, the hammer is usually internal.\u00a0 Some rifles are designed to fire under any conditions, such as the AK-47, which will definitely fire when completely submerged, while others are not.<\/p>\n
