Ridiculous myths about guns, in which everyone believes (thanks to movies)

        Mufflers can turn fire in the gentle whisper
What movies did You see this:
"Die hard "In the line of fire," "Old men" is a movie about James bond.
The gunpowder detonates really loud. Very loud. Also loud as a jet engine works. And a small metal cylinder can not that much to prevent it. Here's how it really sounds gun with suppressed noise:



Sound neposlushnoe shot around 140-160 decibels is the range in which one time hearing the sound, can cause permanent harm to their ears. If you have never been near a working firearm, believe me, if we say it loud enough so your entire body flinched from the sound. A silencer can reduce this figure to 120-130 dB, which is comparable with the sound pressure level of a jackhammer. And still loud enough to cause physical pain if he's close enough from you.



        Machines as Magic Death Machine
What movies did You see this:
The mummy, Star infantry, Commando, Max Payne, Commando, every John Woo action movie, Scarface.
To say that the fighters never run out of ammunition, had already become an ancient joke (that is, until she suddenly would not be appropriate to the plot). Hollywood also exhibits some self-control in the case of revolvers – usually no more than nine or ten shots in a six-shot drum.
And all because of the fact that You can't really see the bullets in the machine. Hollywood takes it as carte Blanche to treat the insides of the weapon to the magic factory for the production of ammunition. So, in a Commando You will be able to see how Arnold shoots, not recharging, it seems, for half of the film.
