[@drummin7jeff]

As a sound designer 1. Can confirm, 2. a lot of people don't actually know how slow sound is, and having it be different than expected distracts them from the plot as they feel like it's a bit out of sync. Since you're watching it all on a screen in front of you, your brain kinda assumes that's about the delay you should hear because that's what you've always heard. Kinda the same reason why a lot of films still have no delay between lightning flashes and thunder, if it's more than a second or so apart, most people get pulled out of the film's immersion even though it's more accurate.

[@Carbon2861996]

@@drummin7jeff Chernobyl had a nice delay on explosion.

[@drummin7jeff]

@@Carbon2861996 it did! It worked really well for that scene too! Definitely helped push the emotional moment. That delay puts them about a mile from the explosion FYI. Don't misunderstand me here.. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying in many cases it hurts more than it helps. I do personally prefer a little more accuracy in that kind of delay and am very excited when it's done. I'm only pointing out that in some cases it's kind of awkward. Specifically if the visual edit doesn't support it properly. There are a lot of action films that cut too quickly to make aural sense if you had accurate timing. If I remember correctly there were a few films about snipers in the last few years that also did a great job with it. I believe I remember the Netflix show about a sniper that did it super well too.

Respectfully I would say that of course suppressors don't make guns silent, but they CAN make them quiet enough that in a loud environment like a train station, they may not be recognized. See my suppressor videos for examples. "Warning! Loud first shot! Comparison unsuppressed vs suppressed" "Sound of suppressed rounds at the target 100 yards downrange" I'll be posting more videos in this upcoming year regarding suppressors.

@@frailty1288 nope, depends on the explosive mass. HE aka offensive grenades usually have more since they don't have a frag sleeve so the only way to expand the lethal range is by increasing the mass of explosive.

(Cue Jim Carreys "So you're telling me I have a chance!" quote). :P And seeing Mythbusters testing the bullet penetration in water really messed with my whole world view about guns. Watching the .50 cal bullet come to a halt so quickly makes me thankful I got a diving lisence.

very few movies ever get that 100% realism that a lot of people want to see. the best ones i've seen are usually about the conflict in the Middle East such as Black Hawk Down or Hurt Locker. action movies are kinda made to stretch realism to it's breaking point just to show how "badass" the hero is, when in reality they'd be dead as hell within the first few seconds of a gunfight. another issue is cars, explosives, and worst of all: nuclear weapons. cars don't explode after taking a couple bullets or after turning over, nor do they ever go flipping off into the air. cars are heavy, and usually gas tanks don't break and leak from the fuel line, but rather split open and pour from the belly side. grenades don't make fireballs. C4 does not make fireballs. dynamite makes a small fireball, sometimes, but not a big one. missiles are a ot faster than movies show. nukes are not a portable thing you can carry. a warhead for a nuke, at minimum, is about the size of a very large and very heavy car engine. they are not as easily stolen as a heist crew of some 12 guys with MP5's. but what really gets me screwy is when they use full auto weapons, spray a huge amount of bullets, and the three they do land (usually to the shoulder, hip, arm or leg) are instantly fatal, meawhile the hero get's shot by a large caliber handgun or a rifle and just "patches it up" and continues to fight as well if not better than before while only showing signs of pain on discomfort. a bullet to the shoulder is not fatal, but if it hits bone you would not be moving your arm for a looong while. if any of this sin't common knowledge, please take it to heart. guns are dangerous things in inexperience or ill-practiced hands. action movies are nothing like real life. don't try to be like rambo and hip-fire an LMG, that would both burn you from the heat of the gun and possibly break your wrist. they have bipods for a reason. have a nice day.

Just a side note about the water thing: The amount of water a bullet will penetrate is (mostly) determined by the bullet's velocity. The faster a bullet moves through water, the less time it has to displace said water and therefore encounters more resistive force. Think similar to oobleck, you can push your finger through it slowly no problem, but it turns rigid if you punch it. Mythbusters actually covered this myth by firing a bunch of different caliber guns into a pool of water. What they found was that things like pistol calibers (9mm, .45, so on) could penetrate a couple of feet, as could some slower rifle calibers. However the 50BMG disintegrated within a couple of inches. If you look for the clip it should still be around on KZbin. (from memory they didn't test lethal penetration distance, just total distance). If you wanted to get *really* nerdy about that too, you could take into consideration the shockwave from each bullet (as shockwaves are a much bigger threat in water) however I'm fairly certain that it wouldn't be too much of an issue past a foot, at which range shrapnel is probably more of an issue. I suppose either way, water + bullets = strange things and fun times.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The Slowmo Guys also did a bullets in water episode where you can see how quickly a hand gun bullet loses momentum as they fire into a pool.

[@alexventisei]

The rate of change of surface area (of the water) when you fire a bullet into water is what has the biggest impact on the change in momentum of the bullet

[@yourcurtainsareugly]

The length and density of the bullet can be significant factors as well. Impactors over a certain velocity don't penetrate deeper by going faster, but by being longer and heavier.

[@Ratkill9000]

Without watching: -Unlimited magazine capacity/hardly ever reload. -No/very little recoil with large bore/caliber weapons. -Shotgun/large bore will make people fly backwards -Tables/walls are bulletproof. -Select fire when said firearm is either semi auto only. -Racking a slide on a shotgun that is not a pump-action. -Selector safety on Glock pistols -Slide on pistols do not move while being fired. -Exaggerated muzzle blast Just a few Hollywood fiction sins from the top of my head.

​@@firestorm165 In Arma 3 you have a certain number of magazines and each of those magazines carry a certain number of bullets, and when you reload all your doing is cycling which of your magazines is in your gun, so if you fire half your bullets in one magazine, eventually your going to reload and have half your bullets missing in the mag.

What you guys say about suppressors is generally correct a lot of movies do get it wrong, But the john wick scene is very plausible. A suppressed .22 in a very crowded loud train station would not be heard over the ambient noise level. Everyone likes to quickly jump on that scene and parrot what they have been told about how suppressors don't actually make them silent. It is even more plausible when you introduce .22 subsonic ammo. These are all things a highly trained assassin in the world they have created would know about and use when appropriate. TLDR: All you would hear with a suppressed .22 with subsonic ammo is the quiet click and cycling of the gun action. Which would not be noticeable in a loud crowded train station.

[@Hellsing3]

Matt finally someone said it

[@bgezal]

A .22 subsonic wouldn't be lethal. .22 is popular in assassinations to be used at point blank range i.e. pressed against the head. I don't remember now what assassin movie got that right. Further away it will only lightly wound. A .32acp subsonic (think James Bond PPK) would be a little more lethal and still quiet. Still a weak round and also normally fired blowback. But in that Wick clip it looked like both had 9mm and silly small suppressors too. I need to see that movie. Suppressed 9mm subsonic sounds like a nail-gun but that's with a large can.

[@AliceDerg]

Not to mention the round hitting the wall from a miss is still pretty loud no matter what. It would be louder than airsoft, too.

[@dukeskyhopper]

[@Excludos]

Miner 2049er .22 ss is definitively lethal at up to 100m. The bullet wound is small and the impact even smaller, so you'd have to hit pretty well. But something like the face or heart is likely to result in death.

Except, by calling them silencers, people give anti-2A politicians a buzzword to scare their voters with. Many people think that suppressors actually work as well as they do in the movies. Suppressors are most commonly used because they protect the shooters hearing. So pretty much the entirety of the modern gun enthusiast culture calls them suppressors. There's a reason terms have changed.

[@obviousgreyman]

Cameron Anderson They’re going to call them that either way. Let’s actually make intelligent arguments instead of getting hung up on terms. If we can’t convince people not to give up their rights because someone says silencer (which is an acceptable term like it or not) or suppressor. I’m pretty confident voting adults can understand that silencers don’t technically make a gun silent. If you’re really that worried about the terms you should know we’ve got bigger problems.

[@justuslm]

In terms of the sound, this is something I love about Arma 3 (I suppose it applies to other games, too, but here is where I really noticed it). The engine properly simulates how fast every sound moves, and especially with mods, you also get proper reflections, echos and reverb. Not only does this mean that handguns behave properly like this, but you can also have jets fly over above the speed of sound and you get a delayed sound with a sonic boom, and you can also be on the ground while an A-10 goes in for a strafe, hearing the hits before the BRRRT, or you could be in a plane, drop a bomb or shoot a missile, then watch it explode, and seconds later hear the boom...

there is actually an interesting change in sound when you walk parallel to another rifle shooting stand from the target's side towards the shooting side. At first you hear the impact first and the Explosion second, but at some point you hear both the impact and the explosion at the same time, which creates a very distinct overlapping sound. I was suprised when I first heard it and ran back and forth a fiew times, because I was so intreaged by this sound you never hear in movies. It's a mixture of a high pitch clicking and a disturbed classic "bang". Also beside the recoil, which is not as uncontrollable as one might imagine, although much higher than Hollywood tends to portray, and the loud noise, most People are unaware of the strong smell.

For a video about everything wrong with guns in movies you get a lot things wrong too. 1. Recoil: In general the effect of recoil in movies is way too low, but some of the examples you used were not really on point. Let's look at the matrix at 1:40 with the two low caliber SMGs. Their recoil per shot can be as low as 10J and the high rate of fire and sustained fire make it look smoother in slow motion. It's a lot harder to counter the first shot than the follow ones. Like turning on a garden hose compared to just holding it ones it is turned on. So a well trained person with a minimum of strength required could hold them like that. Especially if the gun itself already has features that counteract the recoil or spread it evenly. 2. Bullets are faster than the speed of sound: True in most cases but not all. There are subsonic rounds often used in combination with suppressors. The rounds not going supersonic means no sonic bang. Also most hand guns their rounds at speed pretty close to the speed of sound. Usually 300-400 m/s vs the speed of sound at about 330-350 m/s depending on several conditions. 3. Bullets don't penetrate water: How far a bullet can travel in water or any other substance depends greatly on the diameter of the bullet. The distance pointed out in the video 9:39 is obviously wrong. If water was that good at protecting against bullets it would be used way more in that way (Shooting ranges, base protection ...). Pretty much all calibers are still dangerous at 1m (~3ft). After that the smaller the diameter of the bullet the further it is still lethal. Or to be even more precise the more power per area the projectile has. Since the velocity of the projectile is squared in the drag equation the bullet will spend most of it's energy pretty fast, just not that fast.

[@scottmcintyre2809]

Isn't the bigger movie sin with regards to recoil not how much kick an individual gun may or may not have, but the bullet's effects being drastically different from the recoil. Like someone will shoot a pistol that barely moves their arm, like Neo's SMGs, but when it hits a guy in the shoulder they'll spin halfway around and get knocked back a step before they hit the ground. When in reality they shouldn't be moved particularly more than the person shooting the gun was.

[@UNCOVR]

I'm surprised they missed out tracers, the different colours from the type of round fired, every 5th shot from a belt-fed machine gun is a tracer, bullet drop over a long distance, ricocheting off solid objects, the tracer is still a source of light so it will illuminate its surroundings, CGI tracers need to match the camera focus for lens flare, velocity of a bullet recognised by a tracer (so tracers from a closer angle will look faster and from a long distance will look slower), smoke trail from a tracer, etc. A few notable favourites Act of Valor (Live fire), Generation Kill, Gemini Man, Fury, Flags of Our Fathers.

[@anthonygusman9909]

Band of brothers has some pretty accurate depictions. Capt Winters gets nicked by a ricochet, one guys gun jams up when he first sees a german, and the MGs have tracers and an arc in the shots

They have it all from accurate reloading to the kick of different calibres to realistic optic to bullet drop and gunshot audio IE you only hear the crack of the bullet if your a certain distance away and downhill cause the sound goes over your head and all you hear is the supersonic crack. Its great.

[@dakaodo]

Yes, to various degrees, milsim type FPS games convey more of the gun handling, notably preserving round count per magazine so that if you reflexively reload after every burst, you'll eventually end up with all partially loaded mags. :D Gun sway and ease/reliability of magazine reload are both still toned down a lot though so that sway is reduced and reload time is sped up. It takes a moment to dump your ejected mag into a dump pouch, unless you're ditching every old magazine on reload -- they get expensive, and they don't grow on trees! XD Watching movie shootouts that emphasize combat stress, you'll see people fumbling to fit the magazine lips into the well before they even seat the mag. It takes hundreds of practice reps to smoothly draw a mag, index it off a finger, insert it w/o the mag momentarily hanging up on a corner. Doing so from a non-standard position throws you off -- crouching, hunching, crammed into awkward cover, etc. Gun sway is more of a FPS game thing, since Hardcore Henry (and one Doom scene) is the only first-person shooting in movies I can think of. Once I tried sprinting 3x100m (no gear, no gun in hand), ending at a shooting bench and tried to aim at a range target with and without bracing on the bench. I was reasonably fit (0:15 100m), but controlling my breathing and steadying my aim was a totally different skill I was not prepared for. Reloading a magazine was a hot mess too. Heart rate in an actual fight would be considerably higher from fear-stress instead of mere exercise exertion. I was momentarily around 180 bpm at age 32, but they say heart rate can spike over 200 in real fights (well into the 200s is when you get loss of color, tunnel vision, auditory cut-out, time dilation, etc). Suppressors still are mostly Hollywood, since gamers gotta have their stealth kill missions somehow.

[@CharlieHolmesT]

At 4:00 that gun is going to be firing subsonic projectiles so it would be the way round that it already is.

[@yardbirds89]

i was about to say that, the black powder era is not where you want to go if speed is what you're looking for..

[@cgunugc]

That's, what, a Spencer? Yes, those were supersonic. .56-56 Spencer was just barely supersonic, unlike most government issue cartridges of the day (.45-70 was fast as hell), but it still was supersonic. Black powder was still a gunpowder.

[@OdinssonLive]

I'm so happy you did the audio part for long distance shots, f.ex with sniper rifles. That's one of the things that really grinds my gears even in ''realistic'' movies, when you hear the bang first, and then see the bullet hit something. That's just not how sound works, first you'd see the bullet hit something and hear a small continuous crack from the bullet, since it breaks the sound barrier. Then with a delay, you'd hear the bang from the rifle. Some movies do great jobs with remembering that, some movies totally botch it.

[@Cicadicsaint204]

Just a note for the John Wick part, it was a joke because the people of NYC ignored a worker in the set when he clearly needed help. They put that scene on the movie to show that the people does not care about what's happening around them. The people that was working in the production knew that it wouldn't totally silence a pistol but because of what happened on that day, they really wanted to put that scene into the movie. (Sorry for my bad england) xd

Not to mention that Keanu Reeves really knows how to use a pistol. There is a video up where hes doing a "speedrun".

In the field, you have an ammo bag, because you should definitely reload when you can. You don't want to enter a firefight with less than a full mag. You can collect your loose bullets and reload during one of the MANY lulls in combat.

[@hesperhurt]

Sniper rifles in movies seriously irritate me... so much potential but they just go with the "oh it shoots far derp" A good friend in the RM was at a vehicle checkpoint in Iraq (the 1st time around). Some guys in a saloon tried to make off through the gates. As they're trying to ram the gates, and the RM don't want to just kill them all, he smashed his rifle through a quarter light and lets off a round into the boot (trunk). Instantly the car stalled, the rear windows blew out and the guys inside were pulled out... less their eardrums 🤣 Use of a high calibre rifle, poked into a room and fired, has the same effect as a flashbang. The technique is often used by 2 man teams (sniper and spotter/cover). The sniper momentarily disables to allow the spotter (carrying a regular assault rifle) to enter and clear. Sometimes the sniper uses the shot on target... sometimes just firing bling into the contained space. The pressure drop/increase at the muzzle is HUGE. Yet they rarely show this in effect or applied in interesting ways. It's a shame 🤷‍♂️

[@vorpalblades]

I call bullshit. Shooting into the trunk of a vehicle will not blow out all the windows and cause the vehicle to stall out.

[@vorpalblades]

With the rear seats installed, barely any hearing damage either. Also, no marksmen are going to try using a firearm as a flashbang. Fired in a small room it will be deafening, but the muzzle flash will be minimal. They use low flash powders.

[@wisemankugelmemicus1701]

@@vorpalblades Depends. If we're talking low-intermediate cartridges then yeah, you're correct. However a .50 BMG will create a massive flash. At least big enough to blind anyone in the close vicinity. Not all the way across a room, no. But it's substantialm

[@f1rebreather123]

Wisemankugel Memicus is they are close enough to be affected by flash then they’re close enough to be dead. The flash from A 50bmg is pretty bright, but not enough to blind someone.

[@zJoriz]

Never thought of that, but I can imagine that would ruin your day. I recently saw a video explaining why not all WWII tanks had muzzle brakes, if it was such a useful invention. One reason was that tank barrels already tend to stick out and cause mobility or aiming problems in narrow streets if you add that extra length at the end. Another was that infanterists and other unprotected living beings beside the tank could be accidentally blasted.

In that scene mentioned in John Wick 2 I believe they're actually using subsonic rounds or whatever they're called, paired with the suppressor which actually can make the shots quiter. Not quite to that extent though.

[@anthonypetrillo841]

Police officers usually do fire weapons without hearing protection. They aren't expecting to shoot their guns, and they don't have time to put in earplugs when they get into a fight. SWAT officers might put on some electronic earmuffs before a raid, but the detective shows where they fire without earpro are realistic. I've accidentally shot a glock without earpro, and it's loud and makes your ears ring slightly, but it isn't painful. If you do it all the time (like if you trained without earpro) it would destroy your hearing, but a couple shots in an emergency isn't bad at all.

[@G-Mastah-Fash]

Every shot damages your hearing a little. I wouldn't risk firing any gun without protection.

[@anthonypetrillo841]

Stagger Lee, but as an officer your choices are wear ear pro all day (impractical) or try to put it on in the middle of a gunfight (dangerous). I guess it's just a downside of the job.

[@judeo.4385]

Rafael Alódio tell that to green arrow

[@petterilehti1763]

Umm... Not even close. I would use Archer as a perfect example on how a show got guns wrong. I am really frustrated with how weapons function in Archer. They even built a really important trait around Sterling that only makes sense because the weapons don't work at all like how they should work. I'm talking about Archer counting the bullets when people shoot. In real life that would be pointless with a regular pistol, because the slide would lock back after the last shot. I think in season 7 or 8 or something the slide of a pistol actually locks back after the last shot, but in the first 6 or 7 seasons they got that REALLY wrong. Another thing is not that much to do with guns, but the grenades are all weird too. When someone throws a grenade, the spoon doesn't fly off and the grenade still goes off, even though it shouldn't. So Archer got weapons REALLY wrong in my opinion. They got the tinnitus part right though, but even that isn't taken in consideration in all shooting scenes.

[@chrishansen4688]

A scene with an action hero just putting in earplugs first would actually be really funny. Someone needs to do that.

[@syweb2]

Water may be liquid, but it sure as hell ain't soft. The faster you hit it, the harder it feels - that's why belly flops, especially from high up, hurt so much. Water doesn't compress very much, so it's somewhat decent at blocking incoming objects.

[@TheBoBabsin]

@@syweb2 Liquids can't be compressed at all unless they're sublimated into a solid, they can only be displaced.

[@ninjabiatch101]

@@syweb2 It compresses like crazy, when it has nowhere to escape to. If it just displaced, then a bellyflop wouldn't hurt so much. It tightens up of impact, creating almost a temporary hard surface. Thats why objects, including people, tend to bounce or skip when they hit water, as though its a solid.
