I watched it this past weekend. There was a shooting scene, which as it went by looked a little peculiar.

It was in slow motion, and as the casings were being ejected they appeared to have no indent on the primer.
So, I paused it, and here is what I found:



I would have expected larger than needle-sized bullets.

Pardon the angle, but I was trying to reduce the glare.



“I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”

You must shoot guns. {LOL}. Friends of mine in the Marine corps notice that kind of stuff all the time when watching films. I watch the guns they use, their stance etc., it can almost ruin the movie.

I had not realized firearms manufacturers paid for product placement in films. I remember watching one of The Taken series and noticing a lot of closeups of the gun. Para Ordinance provided all kinds of support with their firearms and Liam Neeson then came out with anti gun statements. Hypocritical maybe.

What do you expect from a B-movie produced by WWE? (Yes, that WWE... the professional wrestling company.)

That bullet might make a good pellet when it grows up.

What kind of bullets produce sparks when they hit a vehicle, even off the glass? Roll Eyes I remember a lot of that.

Vehicles, glass, wicker furniture.
