Easily the worst writing about guns and action in general that I've ever read. I realize that not everyone is a gun person, but it's not like how they work is folklore. If you're an author and you're going to write about guns a lot, it's probably worth an afternoon to learn how they work.

One of the better books I read took place on a pirate ship and the author came right out in a note and said, "I don't know shit about ships, I asked some people who did to help me write the parts about boats, sorry for the stuff I screwed up." That goes a long way.
