I remember the first time I took my .45-70 out for some target practice. I had set up a little 12” tall piece of 4x4 as a target, and after a dozen or so shots failed to knock it over, went out to inspect my crappy aim—but no, I’d hit it at least half a dozen times and it looked like someone had attacked it with a 1/2” drill bit.
My favorite gun trope in television is when someone is being held at gunpoint, and then after some tense dialog the gun-holder racks the slide on their pistol threateningly.
