Bourjaily's Five Dumbest Guns in Movies and TV
#1: Rose McGowan’s M203 from Planet Terror
You are a nuttier gun nut than me if you think a stripper with an M203 prosthetic leg is either hot or cool. It’s just dumb. Also, I realize this is science fiction/fantasy but how does she pull the trigger? Unquestionably, this is the stupidest gun in movie history.

all very idiotic guns
Thats hollywood for you.
C'mon Phil...why you gotta ruin Predator for us? Jesse Ventura can power a mini-gun with his mind. He eats lead for breakfast and craps out all the rounds he needs. There, I explained it.
I don't care how dumb it is...that is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time when they raid the camp. Seeing that I first saw that movie at a young age, I used to play Predator and frequently get in trouble for saying things like "The son of a b****h is dug in like an Alabama tick."
Many years ago I was on an OH-58 Army Helo with a 7.62 minigun mounted on the side but pointed forward. The targets was a line of old bunkers in the impact area on Ft. Benning. The recoil was such that a short burst would torq the chopper around almost sideways spraying bullets along the entire line of bunkers. So, yeah you might say there is some recoil there.
Um, Rose McGowan with an M203 for a leg is def hot. And while I'm not sure asking anything from Planet Terror to be realistic is fair, I will make an argument for the firing mechanism. It seems the gun must have an ultra-precise combination altimeter and pressure sensor that can detect when she raises and tightens her leg, as in the act of kicking, which sets off the gun. Clearly, the act of lowering the leg causes the firing to stop. That, OR, she can consciously send some sort of signal that acts a charge to set off the gun to the metal attachment on the stub her leg, so that she can effectively tell the gun when to fire or not with her mind. Now is that really so unreasonable?
You mean my favorite didn't make the list....
"It's an .88 magnum, it shoots through schools."
-not pc for these days, but funny, ya gotta admit it's funny.
Dave I am with you on your all but 3. Sure it grossly inaccurate but it make up for it pure awesomeness and only Jesse Venture can make it work.
Were the rail gun firing .277 diameter projectiles though I would be the first run power to my treestands.
My vote for bad dispiction of guns is a blanket vote for every movie and tv show that has people taking cover behind a car. Very few things on a car will stop a bullet other than the engine/drive train and wheels being the only things large enough to make for somewhat effective cover.
Sorry Phil I didn't notice this was your list, not DP's.
I just remembered a movie that has no specific bad guns its just about all the guns in the movie. Shoot'em Up with Clive Owen. The best or worst part is him running out of bullets and using carrots to slay the bad guys.
Uhhh... you aware yet that the "related videos" in the ad at the side of this post -- Davey Crockett, Worst rifle shot ever, etc. -- all open into porn links?? Maybe your tech guy might want to check into that??
There is an actual hand held fireable minigun, however it is in 5.56 X 45mm. I saw it in a gun magazine several years ago. One would also have to be a Jesse Ventura to carry it as I remember it was very heavy. And yes, Hollywood does seem to stretch the truth in the movies.
Sure they're dumb, but a bad-a$$ SOB with that kind of firepower is COOL, and makes for a way fun flick! Who cares if it's not realistic, we can just laugh at it, suspend our disbelief and munch down some more popcorn and M&M's. That's how we get our $10 worth of enjoyment from the movie. Besides, since when did Hollywood have anything to do with reality?
Thanks for the fun clips, though. I think I'd like to go watch Quigley Down Under now.
UGH, its Hollywood! Monkeys didn't take over the planet, Jerry Stiller ain dating Carmen Diaz, etc,
I would have to disagree with you on Jesse Ventura and the "THE MINI".We all know that thats real , just like the WWF was.
I dunno...it seems the Mare's Leg would be easy to use in tight quarters-wrong ammo is another matter.That's something I never noticed before. But my vote for #5 would be any movie or TV yutz that used the good ol' revolver with a silencer screwed onto the end of the barrel.I can still recall a silenced S&W Chief's Special used on an episode of Hawaii Five-O.
