Movie error Blue Steel

[Iron Sight]

So I am watching the movie Blue Steel staring Jamie Lee Curtis.

The bad guy is reloading his revolver. This is what you see as he drops new cartridges in the cylinder. Then he fires the gun.

Hollywood getting gun-tech wrong?

Imagine that!

Shouldn't need a silencer to keep that gun quiet with that load out!
Hahaha!

let me guess..........he fire 11 rounds too right

Certain brands of yogurt have been known to cure this condition.

 

[sjmjax]

They're just rounds that need a second primer strike! Must have been sloppy reloads

 

[handejector]

NOT an error.
Hollywood rounds will fire AT LEAST 3 times.
Haven't you guys ever watched a Western?

 

[zoom6zoom]

Hey, it's probably the only movie where they ever reloaded a gun, give them a break.

I watched True Grit's Jeff Bridges carefully aim his Win on his right shoulder, with a patch on his right eye, and kill the bad guy at a considerable distance. Guess he's cross eye dominant.

Wow can't believe I am the only one who knows a "firing pin striker channel" when he sees it. Clearly these are Hollywood primers with striker channels to prevent breakage of firing pin.

 

[The Last Standing Knight]

Nothing new...

Take a look at the first season opening credits of the ORIGINAL Hawaii-FiveO. They show the spinning cylinder of a flat-latched S&W M60 while being loaded with dented primers and then with a flick of the wrist snapped the cylinder shut!

OUCH!

 

[DeadAye]

Those are those new California primers.
They have to come pre-struck since that new Cal law went into effect on 1/1/11. I think the ammo manufacturers have dealt with the new No Firing Pin Channel Law quite nicely.

OUCH!

I had to check this out, sure enough!

Yeah, I saw that error when the movie first came out. It clouded any pretense of authenticity as I watched it. At least Jamie Lee Curtis was worth watching, anyway!

What are you doing looking at guns instead of Jamie Lee???????

 

[RonJ]

My wife says " they've already got those little dents in them". Her education is progressing.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

Sip; Where are you???Please answer this problem.LOL Dick

 

[David LaPell]

Reminds me of Saving Private Ryan at the last battle where Opum has the belted ammo on his shoulders, no primers in them at all! Those gaping little holes sure stand out.
Another thing about the movie Blue Steel, you mean to tell me that arm would work at all after that bullet hit it? Amazing how in some movies the hero gets hit by whatever and all the body parts still work, but the bad guys get hit by gunfire and go sailing through the air! Love a double standard.

You don't get thrown backwards off your feet when you get shot???


I feel so mislead!
