Hmm everything that makes guns cool in movies is fake lol. Hmm I guess added to that list with silencers are the gun in the pillow trick those assassins sometimes use hehe.

Edit: Added Myth Bullet Points.

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.

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.
