Most innaccurate info you have been told or heard about guns/shooting??

Especially since they werent even designed yet

I had a guy try to sell me a Siamese Model 1903 8mm rifle as a German WW1 rifle.

The US media in general concerning Firearm Facts and Laws.........

Some TV shows when "they" don't know or use editing and camera angles to show their point............

Recently, that you could shoot .454 in a Taurus Judge PD model (safely)

Had a fella tell me that you can get MAGNUM VELOCITY from a 150gr. bullet out of a .308win.
If you spray slick 50 on the bullet.

U can dry fire a 22 rimfire all you want.....

45 acp will actually pick you up off your feet and throw you backwards.

How about 9mm is better than .45acp.

naw, just as good but aot cheeper.

When entering a pawn-shop (20+ years ago) I asked if they had any Dan Wessons, and was told they didn't sell cheap Chinese junk.

a .243 is good for kids, but not enough for adults.

(Ive never missed a deer with my .243)

All hi points suck. They jam. They stovepipe. They arent accurate. They will blow up in your hand.

Hmm.....

Guess all of mine are broken...

I guy told me the other day that you could fire a 45-70 Gov cartridge in the Taurus Judge. I declined.

I was watching the WLBT Jackson news a few years ago when the JPD spokesman (I forget his name) was explaining that when you fire a gun strait up into the air the bullet will be moving FASTER when it comes down then when it left the barrel. Really? I didn't know that. I must have missed class when the physics teacher was lecturing on terminal velocity.
