Ok, don't recall if it's been mentioned in this thread but there is a scene from "O Brother Where Art Thou?" that also drives me crazy.
It happens when the three guys have first escaped and are sleeping in the barn and the prison trackers find them and try to smoke them out of the barn with a lit torch. One of the guys throws it back and it lights the prison van on fire, the one with all of the guns and ammunition in it.
Well, in true Hollywood fashion, immediately as soon as it catches fire a) all the ammunition and guns start to shoot and b) all the guns and ammunition start to shoot off.
The fact is that when a bullet cooks off, it explodes like a mini-grenade.
It DOESN'T SHOOT!!!
