    Is it just me?

    Is it just me or do you cringe when you see a gun sliding across the pavement or getting dropped on the street while watching a movie? I was watching Full Metal Jacket today (great movie) And I just cringed when they kicked that Valmet across the ground. It seems like most "movie guns" get jacked up and it kinda sucks to see such nice firearms get all scratched up. Anyway, just wanted to see if I was the only that thought that way.

    Not only do I cringe when I see a gun being abused, I get damn near deathly ill when I see that most of the actors are radical anti-gunners. I do my best not to spend one single dime on movies that involve these same actors. By the way, all of the actors who played James Bond are radical anti-gunners, just to name a few.

      I get pissed

      The Matrix for instance.... I wanted to kill him as he tossed all those perfect little beauts across the floor as they ran out of ammo. Not cool!

        Most "movie guns" that are getting beat up like that are just resin replicas.

            I cringe when I see pictures people have taken of their guns laid out on a slab of concrete, ususally taken to show off their new piece or for the for sale section. Lay a flipppin towel or a pillowcase under them first for god sakes!

                  I don't care about the guns that have been made into hammers (out of ammo). What I do care about are when the good guys don't loot corpses to upgrade from let's say a PPK to a MP5 with a bunch of extra mags in the badguy's vest, in an extended gun battle.

                    No! see, because there is no spoon, so none of that was physical ,just a digital image of what the matrix made things to be.

                      that noise is probably the sound of a combination lock (or some other wingding item) sliding across the floor of a sound stage.

                      made me feel better to find out many times they're just shell chassis.

                            As a kid, when I watched CHiPs, they'd always kill old Mustangs.

                            THAT used to really P**S me off!

                            Pintos, they exploded really well, Cameros, OK, datsuns, who cares, but Mustangs...
