They forgot my favorite one,
#6 When you get shot you will fly back in the air as if a massive bunt force just crashed into you, the more dangerous the gun the father you will fly.

Shotguns send you like 8 feet backwards!

I have to admit, before I actually got one I did think you could take a Glock through a metal detector :D

You can with some upgrades.... lol. But it's pricey. They do make ceramic firearms too, but those are very pricey... and I don't even know if they are available for civilian sales....

I take issue with the silencer(more properly, supressor) one....I have personally fired a .22 with subsonic ammo where the loudest sounds were the firing pin and the bullet hitting the paper.

What about accuracy? I bet many people that have never shot think they could hold a gun in each hand and hit targets while doing flips and shit

because of this thread I was totally pissed while watching the book of Eli last night.
so what you are telling me is that the handgun Eli was firing (didnt recognize except as large frame semi-auto) cant really fire a single shot 100-150 yards and accurately kill someone mostly behind cover?
What the fuck?
I want my money back.

He had Jesus bullets. Duh.
