Hollywood - where the majority of America receives their firearms education... 
Guns in Date Night movie, Hollywood etal
It is comedy but a few things made me wonder if this is what people assume.
Couple are held at gunpoint but really start panicking when the thug held his gun sideways. OMG death shot!! As a shooter being confronted by someone who holds a pistol that way would be comforting. I would take it they are incompetent.
Shooting off a masterlock type lock with a pistol. You see this all the time in movies. Does it really work? I might see a 12 gauge slug haven't enough mass but your usual 9mm?? Plus I would be scared of fragments and ricochets. Curious.
The couple got hold of an old Colt Walker or Navy that a guy had out as a display piece. When he fired it the barrel exploded! First off NO ONE would have a loaded firearm as a display. Second just because it is old doesn't mean it will self conboomerate. Hollywood

It will work if you shoot the shackle not sure that it would be very easy with a pistol but it would do it we did it a few times in iraq with our m4s on locked gates we wanted to get through. so it can be done not sure how safe using a pistol would be but to each there ownIt is comedy but a few things made me wonder if this is what people assume.

and it doesnt have anything to do with mass per say the shakle is highly temperd steel thats why you cant saw through them easily and the energy transfered into it from the bullet breaks it but the 12 ga works alot more easily
2012? That was a fun movie. VERY Hollywood as well, but entertaining. Great special effects.It's a movie people. A lot more things out there to worry yourself over like 2012
And when they show the audance looking thur the scope and no crosshairs
on target and shooter makes perfect shot.
Hollywood makes enterainment only very little shown is real.

Today's sniper is taught to "Dial in" their settings--including wind drift and hold dead on (obviously not on a moving target) because the scopes are now precise enough to do that where the stuff we had back in the 1970s we set to one range and held over or under...
The no or only partial reticle was insisted on, by the censors, after M. L. King, and J. F. Kennedy were assassinated...It is only in recent years that they have been allowed back...And when they show the audance looking thur the scope and no crosshairs
