My sons do a lot of things revolving around guns via video games, YouTube videos or play guns. They have numerous Nerf guns including but not limited to the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster. They also have numerous low velocity air guns for use only in the garage shooting range.

They are taught to respect and always be careful with guns. They are taught in real life there are no reset buttons when someone is killed. They are taught what they see in movies is make believe.
The humor site Cracked.com recently had an article on ridiculous gun myths from Hollywood.
For example, a M4 Carbine holds 30 bullets in its magazine. Some fully automatic weapons fire 700 round per minute so it doesn’t take long to empty the magazine. In the movies, it seems as if there are infinite bullets in the magazines. Watch how fast the magazine empties.
Below is video of an AK-47 with a 75 round magazine.
In video games and in movies you can fire forever but in real life there are limits to how often you can fire a weapon.

ReplyDeleteI do strongly agree with you about your comment on Hollywierd and reality. However the above quote is inaccurate. You can get a 30 round magazine for a M4. http://store.magpul.com/prod_detail_list/PMAG and some small arms can not only fire 700 rounds a min. some can surpass that amount greatly. http://world.guns.ru/assault/usa/m4-m4a1-e.html
