People are confused as to believing the idea that any device which makes a gun silent exists.
- delecti 3y agoBut that distinction isn't relevant to the discussion of instagram ads.
- Humboldtsnee 3y agoEven my most gun averse friends don't think a silencer makes a gun silent.
- stickfigure 3y agoApparently none of your friends work in Hollywood.
- Humboldtsnee 3y agoSure, movies portray suppressors as incredible magic devices, but everyone I know thinks this is fiction.
- mrguyorama 3y agoMovies haven't done things bad out of ignorance for many decades. It's always a sound engineer or a director saying "no people expect a movie gun to do X nowadays" Movie hackers don't work like that because nobody involved knows how computers work, even NCIS had dedicated Computer Consultants for that kind of stuff, but real "hacking" is boring AF, and most people are willing to put that kind of "reality" aside for a better narrative.
