It just looks stupid when a petite woman is firing a rifle and she doesn't even move one milimeter. This movie has been a waste of time and money. Should have just stayed home watched TV.
shareAwh poor baby
shareThis film's problems were much more significant than not putting enough powder in their dummy cartridges to look real.
shareCuck got triggered by a woman firing a rifle in a movie LOL
shareUnreal gun portayals in a western!?!?! Call the film institute!!!
Liberals claim to love "others ideas", until they find out people actually have other ideas.
FYI,
Though rifle recoil may hurt, it barely kicks your shoulder back at all. The low powered rounds she's shooting would feel like a kiss. The modern rounds would kick her shoulder an inch or so at most. Black powder rounds are kind and don't hurt.
You'll be OK. It's fine. It's a movie and you'll be fine. They made another movie where being the same weight as a small man made the character explode when they shot a gun but it didn't test well.
They changed it to a woman that doesn't explode shooting a gun like many of my friends that are women and shoot guns and it tested better.
You'll be OK.
I dont know. I agree that the rounds would have been underpowered because they are blackpowder but i just rewatched he scene where the girl is shooting the log and there is almost zero recoil. In fact it looks like no recoil and a flinch forward. Now i understand those rifles were/are often chambered in pistol rounds, but even if she was shooting a 45 long colt there should have been more recoil than that. I have shot my range master's 30-30 (hotter than a 45 long colt) several times and it is relatively light, has a relatively short barrel, has no muzzle break, and no gas system. Nothing about the gun absorbs recoil like modern weapons. It definitely kicks, not enough to bother me much, but either does my .357 magnum revolver. When my girfriend shoots the .357 it knocks her upper body back (she is relatively the same size if this actress). I have never shot a black powder rifle, but have shot a black powder revolver, and though the recoil is less than smokeless powder it is not non-existent. It should have felt like a lot more than a kiss.
shareI mean people are getting blow backward when the are hit by these bullets, but the guns that fire them cause zero distress to the shooters and no recoil. OP is correct. Besides, a round so underpowered that it would not recoil at all would not amount to that many one shot kills/stoppages. They could have tried a little bit harder to be somewhat realistic in 2016, unless they were going for comedy. They could at least have the main characters miss their shots a couple of times, especially when firing quickly from horseback at a target that is also on horseback going in opposite directions.
shareIf you have any experience shooting cowboy action matches, or the weapons involved, you'll notice that the weight of the weapons and the relatively low recoil don't result in much movement in the weapon. Youtube any of the CAS matches, or better yet attend one, and see for yourself.
My 12 year old daughter is slightly built and can easily handle a full power .45 Colt load out of a rifle or pistol.
The movie had problems, but this wasn't one of them.
Movie gun recoil (or lack of) has always been a bone of contention with me, but I gave up long ago looking for that much accuracy in movies anymore. Every time I see somebody shoot a powerful gun such as a shotgun or an old Western pistol and it barely moves in their hand or against their shoulder it makes me cringe myself, but what are you going to do? They can't have their precious actors getting hurt by gun recoil. That's Hollywood.
shareShowing recoil would go into time taken away from something better to be shown.
