5 Hollywood Gun Myths

Cracked compiled an awesome and hilarious list of gun myths perpetuated by Hollywood films. Check out their list which has extensive examples and fact checking.

#5. Silencers Turn Gunfire Into a Gentle Whisper

#4. Machine Guns are Magical Death Machines

#3. Bulletproof Vests Are Magical Force Fields

#2. Gratuitous Cocking

#1. Bullets Explode Everything



One myth not listed which I think is used the most and perhaps the most important is that guns do not automatically and neatly kill a person. In reality, it can be very messy.
