Here's my list, which I find VERY difficult to keep short..... :roll:

1. Guys firing all kinds of guns, even African-caliber rifles, with ZERO recoil. None. Nana.
2. Spraying an oncoming enemy point blank with full auto (thousands of rounds, of course) and not hitting him.
3. Firing at a running criminal 200 yards away with a snubnose revolver and he drops dead instantly.
4. Guns with suppressors going "pfft, pfft."
5. "Thrusting" a handgun forward when the trigger is pulled, especially in the old westerns. Roy Rogers was really bad at this.
6. A single shot from a handgun blowing a guy clear across the room and bouncing him off the wall 20 feet behind him.
7. Hiding behind a table or wall consisting of a thin board that's apparently bulletproof.

There are more, but I'll digress.....
