All script writers should have to learn to shoot. This would make for much better gun scenes in movies. Perhaps a course is in order.

They would learn things like guns only hold so many bullets then they must be reloaded, guns can have stoppages and jam for no reason, holding guns sideways when you fire doesn’t make you a better shot, and that firing guns off in an exclosed space with out earplugs or some sort of ear protection results in temporary threshold shift.

Also the advanced course could involve winter shooting where writers could learn that changing a magazine in the winter conditions is challenging and that below certain temperatures guns just won’t fire at.

A multitude of plot complications that have never been explored!
