And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Just once I'd like to see a movie where live ammo is used, or nearly enough live ammo such that chick's wrists and arms (and dude's) actually respond to real recoil. I know, I know, movies (most of them anyway), have strict standard practices for firearms handling on movie sets.
If not that, they're actors. Why can't they act like it's real ammo?
When actors try to imitate the effects of recoil, it’s so painfully inaccurate that they might as well just fire the blanks and we all deal with unrealistic physics in movies.
That, and they never need to reload, good guys always hit their mark with one shot kills - bad guys seldom hit anything but walls & corners, barely missing the good guys, occasionally scoring a flesh wound on the upper arm.
She's got some kind of super-duper easy rack, recoil-less-gun. Notice the guns muzzle doesn't even rise, nor does she blink but once for multiple shots.
Where's that gun actually pointing, 5' into the ground in front of her? She sure isn't aiming at anything, & hitting it everytime!
