Even in gun-crazy America, most of us aren't shooting things as part of our day-to-day routine. So most Americans actually know very little about guns. Hollywood writers realized this a long time ago and, being writers, used it as an excuse to never do any fact-checking ever again.

Yuh coulda have abbreviated the list man woody, give a summary with just the headings... what kinda lazy threadwork is dat!!! XD

Wayyy that is the best debunked myths ive read in a long time. For real @ unlimited ammo, silencer and kevlar.

But in all seriousness, these technically are not myths because they do not apply to Jack Bauer. His awesomeness greatly slows down bullets, the vest does the rest.

ANDDDDDDDDDDDDD sam fisher is a lie!!

[woodyear99]

Lol nah man I still doh believe it there has to be a silencer that can make fisher and the rest of third echelon work. How are we supposed to get in enemy bases without silence hehe.
