just kidding. I’d have to think more on this but I’m guessing some of the better made war movies like some of the scenes in Saving Private Ryan are fairly realistic.

This came to me because I just watched Taxi Driver...What an amazing shootout scene near end of that movie. Especially when Dinaro gets shot in the neck
El Dorado was pretty realistic. They both fired multiple shots at each other while 20 or so feet away and missed a bunch until Jesse finally connected.
Shooting a hand gun at someone, while being shot at, is ridiculously hard to do accurately
I had to scroll down wwwwwwaaaaayyyyyyy too much to see this.
Its Heat Bank Robbery Scene at #1 no close second as far as realism goes...they actually used live rounds in the shoot too (no slugs in the bullets, obviously).
The actual gunfight the OK Corral last 30 seconds with 30 shots fired.
The movie Tombstone has a fight sequence that shows about a minute of firing and close to 70 shots. Which if you take out all the nonsense about Ike Clanton (grabbing Earp them going into the building next store etc...) the scene is a pretty good representation of what happened. gunfight. - ( New Window )

Yeah it is amazing how in the heat of things how many bullets miss
I do think people overestimate the accuracy the general person would or should have with a hand gun, even at seemingly short distances, but realistic doesn't come to mind with that shootout scene.
I think the most realistic scenes I've seen are movies like American History X or New Jack City where someone comes and puts the gun right to someone else's head.

Seriously. Nothing I’ve seen compares to Heat.
In some of the behind the scenes interviews out there, the actors talk about going through military training in tactics and use of weapons to prepare for that scene, with live ammo
That was a great movie, really underappreciated IMO. So many excellent scenes. Hanks and Newman at the piano, the introduction of Jude Law's character, Hanks and son at the diner "negotiating" the sons cut. And of course relevant to this thread, the shootout in the rain. "I'm glad its you..." That was a damn good movie.
I’ve been in one as a cop. Nothing catches the feeling. It’s like slow motion . 12 seconds feels like 10 minutes..
Amazing how many posts just blew this one off. If you could include the auditory and olfactory input you might get close. Cinematic reproduction may be entertaining but it is not ever "realistic."

So overlooked with a bunch of great actors ad a really interesting story
SAS commando Andy McNab was the weapons advisor on Heat Â
And he trained them very well. DeNiro and Kilmer executed some flawless reloads under fire
In the DVD documentary Val Kilmer talked about how the military will show that scene to train the military.
From the link:
Legend has it that Val Kilmer took to the training so well that the shot of him laying down fire in multiple directions and reloading his weapon (without the scene cutting) has been shown at Fort Bragg as a part of training for American Green Berets. Marines training at MCRD San Diego have also been shown this firefight from "Heat" as a depiction of how to effectively retreat under fire. Link - ( New Window )
They reload all the time & grab other guns. Can’t stand when shootouts never run out of bullets.
Cant remember where i came across it but awhile back i saw a 15-20 minute "making of" feature on tactical aspects of John Wick. They use a technique (system? Not sure what you would call it tbh) called center axis relock thats apparently popular with law enforcement.
I do think people overestimate the accuracy the general person would or should have with a hand gun,
Sure but on the other hand, I once did paint ball with a bunch of colleagues when I worked at a non profit for a fairly liberal cause. You could safely assume than only 1 or 2 of the 30 of us had ever fired or touched a real gun (I was one of them). And yet, I quickly learned that hiding behind a tree or darting from one to the next didn't nearly the amount of cover or safety as the movies made it seem. Amateur hippie women in their 50's were repeatedly pelting me with Martin Riggs-like efficiency.
Paintball guns don't recoil and you're not intoxicated by adrenaline when you're shooting them. And you can easily adjust your shots, since you can see your rounds fly through the air. But I still came away impressed by how a seemingly average person can lead their target.

Excellent choice

Yeah Zero Dark Thirty was a good one

That was actually one of the best shootout scenes I have seen. So sad he died during that.
Good one. One of my favorite movies

2 good calls. First Sicario border crossing scene is a great under the radar choice. The first 2 acts of that movie were great.
Zero Dark Thirty was also a great all around movie and very well done.
Heat has been mentioned and that's a classic but I wouldn't consider it realistic.
No country for old men had some real good ones.
