Simple gun tips for writers:
- There is no muzzle flash when a shotgun or handgun is fired.
- Guns are fucking loud. Shotguns are louder than handguns, but if you're not wearing protective gear, even handguns are fuck all loud and can blow your hearing for a while.
- Bullet shells are hot. If they come out of the gun and touch you, on clothes or not, they will burn you. They literally just went through a mini explosion and came out of hot metal.
- On that note. After firing, the barrel of the gun and the muzzle of a gun are hot. Hot enough to burn you. No-one experienced with guns is going to grab the barrel of a shotgun after it was just fired in their face.
- Contrary to want, you cannot bend the trajectory of a bullet. Like, that literally doesn't make any sense if you know anything about any sort of physics.
- Fucking aim. Like, very very experienced shooters can whip a gun out of a holster (lord forbid the waistline of their pants) and maybe shoot somewhere near where they intended, but that's also if they know their gun. But, yeah, there is no instinctual dead shot in the heart. Hence why hunting is so fucking hard and why shooters that have been hunting/shooting for 20 to 50 years have a hard time dropping a buck.
- There's this thing called a kickback. So, the way guns work is that there is basically a mini explosion that happens in the gun and propels the bullet or shell forward through the barrel and out the muzzle. This explosion, in all guns, not just shotguns and high calibre rifles, can cause the gun to jerk back and push back the entire body of an inexperienced shooter. It really hurts your shoulder, too.
