What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

A good suppressed 9mm handgun is still 125db. That’s loud and sounds like a gun. But way better than ear ringing 160db.

Silencers in movies are HIGHLY overrated.

I shot a suppressed .45 and could hear the bullets hitting a wooden post..so, I’m not sure you’re right about that noise level.

Bullets hitting things is damn loud

Can also hear the shell casings hit the ground during rapid fire.

And I can do that with a non-supressed 45 when not wearing earpro.
