Cop shows

I am so sick and tired of CSI, NCIS, Law and Order and all the other cop shows and their crappy way of handling gun issues. The never-ending magazine is my person pet peeve. There is nothing better then watching a guy going full auto with an AK for like 30 seconds straight, or a cop with a Glock shooting like 40 rounds before he drops the old magazine and slams in another. Add to that, the slide is never, ever locked back when the magazine is emptied.

But, wait..there's more. How about the three or four times the cops and bad guys rack the slide? This happens just after they have fired the gun, but the round which should have been in chamber never is extracted. It also happens before the cop enters the building, and again before he confronts the main bad guy.

I am also always frustrated by the triple backspins, roll across the floor, and shoot all 3 bad guys. It is hard enough to walk and shoot at the same time, let along jump, spin, and run while hitting all the bad guns in the chest or forehead. Add to that the whole T.J. Hooker B.S. with shooting someone 500 yards away with a backup pistol.

Another one I hate is how no one can ever shoot through walls in a home. It's not like even a 22LR can't go through like 3 or 4 walls, let alone these fake swat tv guys whose bullets get stopped by a single wall or a kitchen table thrown down in front of them.

There are many more of these tv/movie bad representations of firearms. I will post more at a later time, I am sure.
