In Real Life, most revolvers hold between 5 to 8 shots, depending on caliber, while semiautomatic handguns have magazines that usually hold 1. Pump- action, bolt- action, and lever- action longarms generally hold 5. But keep a running count, and you'll sometimes see a weapon go for much longer without hesitation. The hero will always have plenty of ammo to mow down the mooks, but will run out just before reaching the Big Bad, or confront him with One Bullet Left. Reloading is usually only done when it adds to the drama or when you need to show off how badass the gunslinger is.

Possibly one of the oldest and most abused tropes when it comes to gunplay is the frequent The following is a list of events affecting American television in 2016. Events listed include television show debuts, finales, and cancellations; channel launches. It's a NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with MY GOAT MOVIE REVIEW: 'M.A.C. AND ME' (1988, dir: Stewart Raffill) 'Get Dwyer out of here.' - Jim Jones, heard on the FBI archive tape. If someone is firing an automatic weapon that's belt- fed or has a large banana- shaped magazine in it, forget it — he's never going to run out until you shoot him dead. The only thing that seems to stop a movie or TV gun from firing is the inevitable and dramatic jam. If multiple shots of a gunfight flow well together, shot counts might be ignored, rather than breaking the flow by putting in a reload shot. Likewise, editing has temporal considerations, and if the camera cuts to a different angle while the shots are occurring, you may be seeing the same shots repeated from different perspectives, making the actual number of shots fired lower than what was perceived. Many an archer in animation and videogames can pour out a stream of arrows without ever hitting the supply cart. Unorthodox Reload is an aversion of this trope. Not at all related to Topless Magazines. You can reload at any point without wasting bullets or having to move bullets from one magazine to another. When the game invokes Universal Ammunition, the rules just get that much fuzzier. If you're unlucky, though, some people's magazines might be more bottomless than others. Since kinetic energy is a factor of both mass and velocity, firing mechanisms that allow the projectile to be shot in a very, very high velocity can compensate (or more) for the size of the bullet. Stronger characters sometimes have the 'cheats' of an absurdly large magazine relative to their body size (e. Neither of these can actually be bottomless, but since viewers can't tell the actual number of rounds, they're less likely to have their Willing Suspension of Disbelief broken. Compare against Counting Bullets, which is about limited magazines. Please post aversions and subversions there. NOTE: Clips are devices used to help load cartridges into a magazine, such as the en- bloc clips used to help feed the M1 rifle's fixed magazine or . Regardless, it's a Berserk Button among many firearm enthusiasts. Franky is the most noticeable offender, apparently having a nail machine gun in his arm (which should logically hold only four nails) and a cannon, which he is never seen reloading. This is taken to ridiculous heights by anyone who uses a flintlock for their primary weapon. While such things did actually exist in real life, they were rare prototypes that were both bulky and unreliable, whereas One Piece's flintlocks look identical to the normal single- shot types. The creator jokingly states at one end- of- manga rant that Alucard's firearms are . It holds only one shell and reloading takes a realistic amount of time. Then again it might very well be done purely for drama. Though this becomes a Double Subversion when they get a fullyautomaticversion.. Alucard is seen to reload in the manga and at least once in the anime, but that's more Rule of Cool. Of course, he then goes on to fire 8 or so shots from a magazine that's explicitly stated to hold 6 rounds. This becomes even more confusing/distressing with Elendira the Crimson Nails who seems to have an infinite number of giant nails hidden in her briefcase gun. Even then, it mostly just applies to Heavyarms. Most pointedly in its battle with Sandrock early in the series, as well as in Endless Waltz; its magazines aren't bottomless, but they're sure as hell high- capacity. It's averted, though, when the suits using nuclear power are introduced. This is evidenced in an episode of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, where he plays a First- Person Shooter arcade game and gets flustered when he runs out of ammo. He proceeds to pull out his real gun, in order to continue shooting. Interestingly enough, he's developed a habit of, instead of reloading, pulling out another fully loaded weapon instead. It works for him though — he certainly manages to carry an unlimited amount of firearms on his person. When told the method (shooting outside the screen), he replies that this would be horribly unsafe. His coffin's special attacks do have a limit though. There are no visible magazines, integral magazines for guns the size of tonfas shouldn't have that much capacity, and she is never shown reloading. It could be a helical magazine, which would have the right shape and ammo capacity for the tonfas — except that such a design would leave little space for the firing and shell- ejection mechanism. It feels a bit odd too considering how much ammo they can sometimes burn through to take down one Neuroi. What makes this especially glaring is that Charlotte, armed with a BAR, actually complains about her weapon's low capacity compared to the MG 4. Most times, Revy does reload but this begs the question, given her normal skimpy attire, where the heck does she keep her spare magazines? I can only think of one answer which must be rather uncomfortable and probably explains her perpetual bad temper. Musashi Gundoh is one of the stupidest series in history. You can probably see where this is going. It's final attack involves firing EVERYTHING at the enemy.. Vulking also has this in effect by not running out of ammo in its FINGER CANNONS every few seconds (though most of the rest of its arsenal are energy based). Similar to this, we never see the Kill Jaguar reload its Vulcan Storm either. Averted with Vincent Valentine: see the Exceptions section. In both cases the effect is the same, they never run out of ammo. And if you go back and count, he has indeed fired a total of six shots up to that point. Luke rides from the top of the hill, keeping shooting, until the Indians run away, and you can count at least 3. When the Captain of the detachment says that it was about time that they flee, Luke agrees: . My revolver is empty. In addition, (and for the same reason), his guns are incapable of missing and kill anything they hit. The origin of his guns also explains why the wounds they make are much less like pistol fire and much more like cannon fire. It should be noted that every other firearm in Preacher makes these kinds of wounds - it's just that only the Saint of Killer's weapons are actually justified in doing so. Either he/she had a . Riddler was a good sport and stayed stock- still while Holiday put a bullet outline around him, not moving even while Holiday was reloading. It's pretty rare that anyone ever reloads. He used a muzzle- loaded black powder blunderbuss (early Short- Range Shotgun). Even the fastest shooters (such as soldiers) can only get three shots off in a minute. Fox, the hunters fire bolt- action rifles and double- barrel shotgun several dozen times without working the action before eventually reloading. When all of his gear is displayed before he sets out on his mission, you can see two extra speedloaders for his scoped S& W Model 6. Not only is his gun never reloaded onscreen, but it fires about 1. The total ammo expended is easily more than he could have possibly carried for such a heavy weapon (not to mention its power source). Have fun with some drinking games based on this one. In the same riverboat battle, Rick fires about fourteen times without reloading, whereas with exactly the same gun three years before he ran out after about three shots in each. During the camp battle he only fires six, so that's okay. He also fires at least two dozen rounds at the deadite in S- Mart from a lever action rifle at the end. Also, his chainsaw seems to never run out of fuel. Or need any fuel, for that matter. However when his shotgun fires both barrels, the camera switches away from Ash and a soft clicking sound is heard (which would still mean a very fast reload, especially for a man with only one hand). Of course, the question still remains, where he's getting all those shell in the first place. In- game however, everything reloads, complete with scattered empty magazines. In the sequel, an effect of getting deep into bullet- time is to make this even more badass. At one point they even start shooting up an empty room. Just for the hell of it. There's at least an attempted justification: in the beginning they mentioned the magazine can hold 1,0. Doc Holliday fires three shots in a row.. In fairness, some of this comes down to sloppy editing; Doc shoots a cowboy during the OK Corral gunfight once with his shotgun (having fired the first barrel into the air), but the scene's cut to show the same shooting twice from different angles. This does not explain how exactly the mechanism works however, or how many magazines it holds. He also has sort of elaborate decoy magazines, magazines on round bottoms that he tosses to the floor, runs out and shoots down several guards before dropping to the floor and slotting the magazines into his gun. Careful counting of shots along the hallway scene in which both the sleeve reload and the weighted weeble clips are used reveals at least 3. At best count, about 4. He would have no way of reloading without dropping one of them even if it was done offscreen. When the action cuts away from Topper Harley firing a machine gun several times. Each time the camera cuts back to him, the pile of shell casings around him is higher(up to his waist by the end of the scene) and the belt is the same length. Bullet Tooth Tony is unable to kill Tyrone because he runs out of bullets killing Boris the bullet dodger — he pulls the trigger, the gun goes click, and he comments . In this sequence, he reloads at least once, and each magazine holds 7 shots, exactly as many as the real Desert Eagle in .
