    You don’t shoot to break the shackle of the lock - you shoot to break the shackle OUT of the locking mechanism… and also to be dramatic.

    A big enough surpressor combined with a subsonic bullet actually can make a gun movie-like whisper quiet, and even can be ultra quiet on a pistol.

    But most of the ones used in movies are small enough, or used on a semiautomatic, to where they would be louder than portrayed.

    So myth half busted!

      You’re still getting a report from even bolt action pistols. Explosions be loud, who knew

    Shooting two guns at the same time is objectively cool

    Is it practical? Absolutely not.

    That whole 2 guns at once part is misleading.

    All it takes is years of practice combined with the willingness to lose accuracy per shot, or only doing it at close distances. It isn’t some superhuman feat that the average person can’t learn.

    It just isn’t useful compared to a single handgun in any practical situation. It’s a show trick only, you’d never compete with it, and you’d definitely not want to try it in any kind of real world setting. The time you spent learning to do it would be better spent practicing any other handgun drills.

      I saw this “cool guide” a few weeks ago on the front of Lemmy and people were dissecting it in the comments back then, too.

      I personally took interest in the silencer misrepresentation.

      Overall it’s a pretty stupid, simple comic gimmick by Bright Side. Bright Side are not proficient educators, they just excel at pumping out vast quantities of garbage “educational” content. /u/Blaze@sopuli.xyz should not have shared it.

        /u/Blaze@sopuli.xyz should not have shared it.

        I shared it here on a movie community mostly for the movie references.

        Feel free to share content you might find worthy.

    On tracing a call: The call does not need to be actively going for the trace to work. As soon as it’s made, the call can be traced, whether it’s for 1 hours or 1 second.

      There’s a lot of variables here though right?

      Tracing a call in the 80s is a completely different proposition to doing so now.

      Now it could be done instantly with a database query. Any delay would simply be convincing the telco to perform said query.

    The shooting the lock thing is dependent on how much energy the bullet has. A pistol? It will probably not work. A rifle? It will likely destroy it.

    • hOrni@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It would also depend on the type and size of the lock and where You shoot it.

        Yeah an IKEA doorknob and any gun would likely work. You could also shoot out the internals and get it open or the wood next to it to weaken it for a kick.

        Everything is generally grey nuance

    MYTH: Spaceship doors can be opened by shooting the control panel with a blaster.

    TRUTH: If the door is closed it can be opened by shooting the control panel with a blaster, HOWEVER…if the door is open it can also be closed by shooting the control panel with a blaster.

    You’ve seen all the asteroid belts in the universe to know that they all have miles of vacuum?

      They would need to. Otherwise, gravity would pull them together into a single asteroid/moon/planet etc.
