A lot of movies would be pretty short when practical, real-world gun usage came into play. Consider the lack of suspense and drama if proper gun usage was depicted in the following movies:
Cujo: "Oh no, I'm trapped in my car by a large, rabid dog. Where did I put my Glock?"
The Birds: "Boy, the air is so thick with birds, you don't even have to aim."
Signs: "Unarmed aliens are trying to kill us? Grab the AK's boys, we're going a-huntin'."
Se7en: "Some psycho is trying to force me to eat until I die. I think I'll shoot him instead."
Fargo: "Oh no, two men have broken into my house and are trying to kidnap me. How will I get their bloodstains out of my carpet???"
Friday the 13th: "If I can't actually kill Jason, he's going to look pretty **** funny walking around after I blow his head off with a 12 gauge."
Any Zombie Movie: "Well, we're trapped in a house surrounded by flesh eating zombies. Good thing we've got a couple of belt fed weapons around, isn't it?"
Silence of the lambs: "Clarice, the man you are looking for is dead. He was shot by his last intended victim. Do you have any fava beans?"
The Fugitive: "Good thing my wife was able to shoot her one-armed attacker. He was trying to murder her and frame me for it."
