That clip illustrates one of my major gripes about Hollywood - no shell casings flying about. I understand they have some butane-fired device that simulates gun flashes, even using them of auto pistols and rifles. Kills the scene for me every time. OK, I can see the economy and safety angle, but couldn't they at least get a stagehand to fling empties around?

I can't remember the movie now but there was a scene where a machine gun blazed away for a few minutes and when it stopped, you could hear the empties pinging as they caromed off everything in sight. Nearly wet myself with joy.

Great gun crew action and sound effects at :08, 1:32, 2:00 on YouTube.

I see shell casings and links dropping behind the tripod...right where they are supposed to drop. That gun is a live gun and was formerly a Stembridge movie gun rental. Last I heard, it was bought by Long Mountain Outfitters and sold to a private collector.
