Guns are absurd in almost all movies anyway. Zero reaction to firing in enclosed spaces, powering through a gunshot wound by using muscles that basically no longer exist because a bullet ripped through them, etc. And it's not even just action movies, it happens all the time.

    My pet peeve is the reactionless guns with unlimited kinetic energy bullets. The shooter's hand barely twitches but the target flies as if they were hit by a cannonball. Newton would be spinning in his grave.

    I think Newton would be the first to say that being appalled by things doesn't cause a torque force on corpses. Well, he would be if he wasn't dead. I guess it's really just me saying that but trying to add Newton's weight to it.
