Could have been that it was not functioning as well as it sounded like it was. Remember that the sound fx still work even when the gun doesn't fire. (Eddie Murphy firing a locked back semi-auto pistol in "Beverly Hills Cop II.... "BANG!!")

Could be blank missfire/non-chambered?? The darn thing has to be
closed in order to pull back... hmmmm,
I've been wondering about that myself, seen it in a few flicks.

Great answers, all! The one I'm still scratching my head over is in the Bruce Willis movie, "Last Man Standing," where Willis uses two 1911s in rapid fire against a ganster dumping an "L" drum. In the middle of the fire fight Willis drops the two mags out of his guns, but which hand does he use to reload them? |
Does the L Croft trick and and slams them on from the side holsters....

The part of that movie I'm scratching my head is when the ganster leans over the stairs, fires an entire drum at Willis, Willis shoots him, the gangster falls down the stairs, and lo and behold, there's not a single bullet hole in the floor or a single spent shell casing anywhere in sight!
Must be some of those "magic" bullets!

p.s. It should be noted that this is the second remake of the classic Japanese samurai movie "Yojimbo," where a stranger comes out of nowhere into a town run by two rival criminal families, he proceeds to kill everyone and walks out of town muttering, "Now maybe there'll be some peace in this town."
The first remake was "A Fistfull of Dollars" staring Clint Eastwood.
Watch all three movies and you'll see what I mean.

I still say that watching a guy go up to a door and get ready to enter it and pulling out his Beretta and jacking the slide is the dumbest.

And how many rounds did that chick have in those auto Glocks in "Transporter 2"?? (another case of two guns, two dropped mags and rapid reload)

Another dumb scene I saw was in another pathetically bad Jean Claud Van Dammit movie where one of the characters he plays picks up a Beretta from a bad guy (who was firing it beforehand) and racks the slide ejecting a 'live' round so he could continue to fire.
How about racking a shotgun round with one hand, pump shotgun that is. I guesss it is for the 'cool' effect. I think it is still dumb.
