My girlfriend gets to hear me shout at the TV everytime some protagonist cocks his semi-automatic pistol or sits there firing his full-auto rifle for ten minutes at at a time. I just read this on Digg and was laughing out loud by the end.. especially the Ahhhnolldddd clip where he's spraying the AK, never seen that.
The cocking thing gets me everytime though. It would mean they had deliberately racked the slide to chamber a round and then purposely de-cocked it just so they could click it down when the baddie was nearby. That, or they never racked it all and cocking the hammer will do absolutely nothing because you'll pull the trigger on an empty chamber. I'd wager that most people believe pulling back that hammer in-and-of itself makes the gun ready to go. Pulling the hammer back on completely empty gun would probably fool most.
