Have you noticed that movie heroes almost never run out of strength, one good guy can defeat a dozen bad ones, and pistol shops are almost dimensionless? Clichés like these are common in Hollywood action films, but it's worth remembering that films are not reality. Staged fights with Stallone or Statem are similar to real shootouts and carnage in much the same way as the ballet "Swan Lake" on the movement of birds. However, action in action films has become so popular that viewers perceive everything that happens on the screen for the truth. Novate.ru is in a hurry to dispel the top five common misconceptions.
1. When a grenade explodes, people fly in different directions.
A grenade in a movie creates the effect of a mini-atomic bomb, when from one explosion all people around are scattered like puppets. However, real ammunition is not so powerful, and they do not hit with the explosion itself, but with shrapnel. Of course, it also depends on the type of grenade, but the blast wave is barely enough to throw at least one person into the air. But ammunition can be concussed very quickly.
2. Mines click before detonating
Anti-personnel mines are one of the most dangerous and insidious weapons. Since the 1980s, attempts have been made to ban them, as mines cause excessive damage and have a rather indiscriminate effect. Even after the end of hostilities, people and animals continue to be undermined on them. In 1996, more than a hundred countries of the world signed the Ottawa Treaty, according to which it is prohibited to use anti-personnel mines in international conflicts. Unfortunately, weapons are still used in religious and local civil strife. However, its main feature is quick reaction and soundlessness. If you step on a mine in the movie, it will immediately beep, indicating an impending explosion. In reality, there will be no warning. Upon contact, the mine is triggered with lightning speed.
3. The lock won't open? You can shoot him!
Remember how spectacular the scenes look, where the heroes shoot the locks and unlock the cherished doors? It is a pity that in reality everything is not so simple. In the case of inanimate objects, the weapon can only do harm, because the shot will damage the internal mechanism, and the lock itself will jam. This will make it even more difficult to open the door. If you are going to use a weapon, then it is heavier, so that, together with the lock, the keyhole will be blown away. Otherwise, it is much more convenient to use the same hairpin or other, more "elegant" master keys.
4. Die immediately after receiving a bullet
The film industry is going from one extreme to another. Either the hero receives hundreds of bullets, but still courageously grabs his life, or dies instantly from the very first gunshot wound. Of course, if a bullet hits the head, heart or spine, death will be very quick. In other cases, there is a chance of survival, especially if you seek immediate medical attention.

5. A shot in a gas tank can blow up a car
In theory, such a development of events is possible, but there must be concomitant conditions for this. Suppose the shooter made a hole in the gas tank in such a way that the gasoline vapors would spread evenly throughout the car. Then he waited a little, and then fired at another part of the car (where the vapors had already been distributed), provoked a spark, and with it a fire. Sounds real, but the video bloggers on YouTube have never been able to recreate the Hollywood special effects.
You can also add completely silent shots from a pistol with a silencer, a fire extinguisher, always being at hand to neutralize enemies, as well as the ability to shoot back with one magazine against a dozen enemies with automatic machines. On the other hand, if the filmmakers did not deviate from the laws of physics, the action films would hardly be so spectacular and captivating with vivid special effects.
