My head-canon is that everyone in the John Wick universe is so accustomed to it that they hear the shots, but pretend not to notice and hope the firefight will hurry up and move on.

Keep ‘em coming. There’s tons of gun movie mistakes out there lol.

Hickok45 did a burn test of black powder versus smokeless, it was a great demonstration.

I remember watching a documentary talking about colt and Smith&Wesson; how they came to be and at one point in the documentary where Sam Walker and his Men are dealing with the Mexican army and the Mexican army are armed with 1860 Henry rifles This is taking place in 1847 Literal salt in the eyes for me every time a whoopsie like that happens

That was the clip! They must have been using sub sonic rounds! Lol

If only they remade the Sons of Katy Elder set in current times, the hero could use one of those 12 shot 22lr SAA's that Uberti makes. That would make the shot count and no recoil totally realistic. :)

...hmm, I counted 14 shots...

I think the most over the top gun scene I remember was in Open Range where Robert Duvall's character blasts the bad guy through a wall, with a coach gun and throws him several feet against a building. I still like the gun fight scenes and the movie despite Kevin Costner fanning his single action at the man threatening his love interest.

Don’t forget he also fanned 13 rounds out of a SAA!

Muppet Treasure Island will never be the same for me again.

My favorite gun scene in movies is in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Wherein Tuco kitbashes several revolvers into one. The owner takes out "the best ones" he has, as Tuco is disgusted by the cheaper ones.

Some great clips! These videos are fun.

Great catch on that Hateful 8! I didn't notice that.

For the John Wick one, If it had wipers, only the first shot would be that quiet. But the rounds still make a loud noise on whatever they hit.

West World, bullets in cap and ball revolvers, 20 round cylinders, SAAs that look way too big. Lever guns that never run out.

Cutthroat Island did that powder trick... I want a silencer that makes my 1911 that quiet lol

That was great. My suggestion, shot count in the first Dirty Harry Movie. Ending gunfight, five or six? I'm pretty sure Harry only fired four. And who doesn't love a Model 29?!

If those John Wayne scenes bothered you don't watch Comancheros. It takes place in the Republic of Texas in 1839 but everyone is armed with colt 1873s and Winchesters. Good plot and would have been a lot better if it had percussion and flint guns hell i would have been fine if they used Patersons even tho the Texas Rangers didn't use them until 1844.

Last Man standing had a few over the top scenes where people go flying after being shot by a 1911. And Shoot 'Em Up is start to finish over the top.

3:25 they don’t make desks like that anymore

Very interesting ; great catches and attention to detail. I do really enjoy these. Thanks so much.

Wait are you telling me your SAA cant shoot 10 rounds without reloading....I love In the hateful 8 when kurt russell took there guns and Disassembled them into bucket. He even Unscrews the arbor pin from the frame of a cap and ball colt....I wish it was that easy.

Yeah, that was funny! I’ll have to include that next time.

The greatest gun ever was in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Defense attorney Atticus Finch shoots a rabid dog that's terrorizing the small, southern town. His children are nearly awestruck at his marksmanship, but it's all because he had the greatest US battle rifle ever. The 1st smokeless powder weapon adopted by the US military. The first small caliber weapon adopted by the US military. The first repeating rifle adopted for general issue. The 30-40 Krag/Jorgensen.

The Tremors movies, especially #4 "The Legend Begins". All of them are big fun!

If you go back and watch Young guns (one) you will see in the final shootout Casey Siemaszko: Charley Bowdre loads what I think is his Winchester Model 1873 on camera. He didn't want to appear as if he had a John Wayne gun..

How about the GAU-2/ B in Predator? It isn't the weight of the gun or the recoil. ALL of the support equipment to make it work and the ammunition would be too much for anyone to carry.

Purchased your cappers, Love them.

I still think one of the worst was the "Glock 7" moment...

Hickok45 vibes and gun supremacy ;)

Spent brass coming out of closed dust cover in one of the matrix movies, if i remember right 😂

Cool video, Dustin

Dustin! Great video. Outstanding! ........................ 😎👍👍

The magic six shooter with 24 bullets. Well, unless you are The Saint Of Killers though.

My 1873 colt saa has patent dates of Sept 19 1871, July 9-72 and Jan 19-75. I know that like the 1858 Remington these models were around but not made available for distribution until 73.. I think?? Maybe you could reiterate.. I'm curious about these patent dates and actual distribution dates.

3:52 What? Black powder burns slowly, smokeless flashes away instantly or near instantly.

No recoil either

Wanted dead or alive 45-70 bullets in the belt for a gun chambered for 44-40

Hilarious!

I love these videos

I still enjoy groaning & complaining about the opening scene of 1883 where Dutton is shooting an 1885 High Wall. Maybe it was just a pre-production proto-type ?? Maybe I give them so much grief because they got so much right with that one.

Dad and I have been laughing about the Katie Elder end for 30 years. LOL! If you really want to nitpick over the Shootist 1871 thing, those 4 3/4 barrels probably would not be around until like the early 1880s (maybe late 70s) to my understanding and even the 7.5 inch wasn’t really on the civilian market until that time. In Rooster Cogburn (sequel to True Grit), he refers to his Single Action 4 3/4 as a “Colt Navy Six”

@@classicgunstoday1972 Yep like he said should just have gone and dated it 1873 or even 74 it wouldnt have affected the age much. It niggles me when a film tries for reality but they dont do their research and make a mistake like that it takes away integrity from the movie

I can’t watch movies that are just wrong, maybe the odd bit of exaggeration but like the one with John Wick nah. Unless they say it’s future tech or something but even then. Also the John Wick stuff is OTT but Quentins films? Aren’t they the most over the top with a cherry on top films?

Your comments around the 4 minute mark confused me so I thought I would leave my own. Burning blackpowder will certainly follow a powder trail like the smokeless. The issues is speed. At ambient pressure (like you would find in a powder trail) black powder burns much faster than smokeless. So you don't get those slow dramatic powder burns, you get very fast moving powder burns that Our Hero would have a difficult time outrunning. I think the Mythbusters might have even done an episode on that. I know they did one for burning jet fuel. If you want to know why that is, it is because smokeless powder's burn rate is a function of pressure and black powder's burn rate largely is not. So at normal air pressure smokeless burns slower than black powder, but when contained in a cartridge it can burn faster than black powder. This is also why you can leave empty space in a smokeless cartridge, but black powder requires the bullet to be seated on the powder (or a filler material to be placed in the empty volume). The smokeless essentially has to pressurize the cartridge before its burn rate increases and allows for higher pressures to develop. Black powder just goes no matter what.

Mythbusters did do an episode on that. Adam and Jamie were both able to outrun the black powder.

That was great😂

"The Shootist" actually took place in 1901, not 1871. i belive that scence was a historical recap at teh beginnig of the film.

Yeah, it was sort of a flashback introduction, but the point is that they could have just captioned it, “1873,” or later.

Hahahahah
