Westerns that Show Gun Accuracy

[@davidbirdsong8458]

James Stewart in Winchester 73 should be in here.

[@bravehome4276]

Good choices! A couple more candidates: 1. My Name is Nobody. Scenes where both Fonda/Hill shoot holes in each other's hats; Fonda hitting saddle packs at range in train standoff. 2. Destry Rides Again. Destry shoots decorations off sign to show how much harmless 'fun' guns can be. 3. Winchester '73. Stewart wins rifle in sharpshooting contest. 4. Blazing Saddles. Most unrealistic, but fun, when Jim shoots pistols out of hands of numerous foes; also at great range shoots dynamite bundles that have failed to ignite...with a pistol!

Thanks for the additions

Here are a few you overlooked 1: Colt 45. Randolph Scott was an actor who really knew how to use guns. 2:Texas Across The River: Why? Alain Delon and the turkey shoot scene. 3: Winchester 73: Obvious overlook. 4: The Violent Men: Watch Glenn Ford versus Brian Keith. Shows accuracy over speed clearly. 5: Vera Cruz: Burt Lancaster & Gary Cooper showing how accurate they are with rifles to the Mexican Government. Later on, one of the great showdown scenes with Cooper over Lancaster.

Glad you enjoyed it

The long range Sharps shots by Burt Lancaster in Valdez Is Coming.

[@tumbleweed6658]

never boring all of the westerns In this line are classic. I would add more but there are so many good comments that I just read them.

The thing that really bugs me is that you never see the guns kick. It's so obvious that they're shooting blanks.

Any of the actors in The Magnificent Seven!

[@guyfaux3978]

John Wayne as John Bernard Books in The Shootist explains that speed and accuracy are not enough-- that's what he tells Ron Howard; you have to be willing to kill the other gunman. Howard is fast and accurate, but, is he willing?

[@karlforster4907]

I like the selection

[@chubbethsthunder]

Lonesome Dove was 1989 not 1999

[@famouspeople63]

My deliberate mistake :)

[@jimdavenport8020]

Depictions of accurate shooting......but not many depictions of realistic shooting. Gus McCrae excepted. The 'Quigley Shot' is not possible. The rifle Quigley used was so heavy that an aluminum copy was made for Mr. Sellick to appear to fire from the shoulder. Mr. Sellick is no small or weak man either. All the 'fast draw and hip-shooting' are mostly Hollywood crap - not to say they don't make for good movies! And, of course, everyone toting a Colt Single Action Army - model of 1873 and not really available for commercial sale till the Army Contract had been filled a couple of years later. No way in Hell would any of the cowboys in 'Red River' have had one. But good movie!

Guns have no accuracy. Gun + ammo + conditions + operator have accuracy...

[@ChoneyNation]

Silverado

[@michaelhughes838]

Video content TOTALLY misrepresented by the title which had NOTHING to do with the content

[@ThomasGidley-kv2uj]

Another is Lebeouf from up on the c!iff in True Grit 2010.

[@famouspeople63]

Thats right! Thanks

Nice stuff, they are rifles, guns, pistols and revolvers poor choice to call them weapons im sure if you went to a resteraunt and cuttlery was not on the table you would ask the waiter for a knife not a weapon, just saying.
