Bad & Good Weapons Handling In Movies Taran Butler @Corridor @CorridorCrew  

I love it when Equilibrium gets mentioned in anything.

Dude just casually gifted a Pit Viper like it's all good! LOL

The "reload" from the shooter was a stoppage drill, he did a "tap-rack".

In late 1987 I was sent to Ft. McClellan to teach shooting to Army MP students. Taught 1911s to recruits. Saw Lethal Weapon, and the next year, Die Hard. Because of those movies I got a Beretta. MP schools says "we need to start teaching this new M9 pistol...who do we have to research and teach this?" "That new guy on the weapons committee....I think he has one of those." The brass never really knew my name...they just said "Beretta guy." Didn't mind that. Taught recruits for several years. Quietly moved recruits away from 'tea cup' and 'wrist grip.' M-9 is a good weapon.

IIRC- the Sentry Guns in Aliens were also 8mm MG-42's, as with the Smartguns. The grenade launchers underslung on the pulse rifles were 870 shotguns (you can tell by the loading port and sections of the bolt that are visible) but fitted with the handguard and forend from a SPAS-12.

I think Taran was attacked by a few boxes of Just For Men.

All the local police depts near me had the 92f after Die Hard came out lmao

Including Taran Butler's input as a consultant and trainer in movies is a HUGE improvement, BUT competition vs combat weapons' handling have significant differences.

When I read Heat 2, I pictured Austin Butler as Chris Shiherlis (Kilmer's character), Jon Bernthal as a younger Neil MacCauley (Robert DeNiro), and Colin Farrell as Pacino's character, Vincent Hanna). Glad to hear Butler's being talked about for the Heat sequel. Great actor 👍

Thank u Taran for saying " I just bitching edit or blooper, movie as a whole is fun" lots of expertise community forget about that

Taran, this is what we need from you all the time please make a podcast like this your hobby

Equilibrium was awesome

The M41A Pulse rifle from Aliens is a m1A1 Thompson with a Remington 870 cut down and mounted underneath the Thompson, it has the shroud and pump from the SPAS 12 fitted around it to give it its unique look.

It's a bit of a blasphemy to leave out "Way of the Gun". Some of the best gun-work in any movie. Realistic + cool. Movies' not bad, itself, either.

I could watch those quad loading clips all day

I have one TTI Glock 34 gen 3 with the shiny black finish. Best gun I've ever owned. Met Taran in A casino near Wichita, Kansas. Such a cool and chill guy. Got a signed hat too!

Not gonna lie, it's pretty lame they're going to use a Glock 34 for the Punisher. The Punisher pistols have always been some kind of variation of 1911. Now instead of the American Spec Ops Marine using a 1911 (Like Marsoc could do when they original show was made) He's going to be using a dime a dozen Gucci Glock.

The worst offense of Shooter was him manually racking the 50 after every shot in the beginning. The blanks didn't have enough power to cycle the rifle so he had to cycle it by hand.

As a competitive shooter who works in the movie biz , sometimes the gun handling is just painful to watch on set if they don’t bring in someone to properly train the actors. But it’s not my Dept so I just have to let it go. I’ll offer some advice to Props if they’re designing some Sci-fi or fantasy guns that ergonomically make no sense. On the flip side , thanks to Taran’s work , it’s easier to describe practical shooting to folks by saying, “ You’ve seen John Wick - right ? Competition sorta looks like that “

I loved the handgun in Blade Runner

NEVER INSULT STEVEN SEAGAL HE IS THE MASTER OF WEAPONS BLOOD BANK

Everything that Taran Butler does, it's absolute perfection, He should give more interviews, amazing knowledge and craftsmanship

Loved the beretta 92 from lethal weapon and die hard 🔥

Bro, how are we not talking about the the movie “ The Way Of The Gun” that had some of the best weapons handling I’ve seen in a movie. Granted the directors brother is a legit SEAL, but man, even as a 13 year old watching it I knew this was different,

“The Ruger mini 14 is a cheap AR???” What drugs is this guy on?

Hatin’ on the Mini14!? Cmon son! I have one and it’s awesome (made an A-team replica) 1.25 MOA at 200 yards no problem.

In “Dirty Harry,” while Clint Eastwood played a cop, a Smith & Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum played a Smith &Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum.

No mention of Way of the Gun in this video is absolutely criminal

The “cup and saucer” was the best thinking in the gun world and taught every where for a long time. Military, police, FBI … that’s how people shot. Before that in WWI and WWII they taught a different style. Shooting evolves. Hand positioning. Foot stance. Shoulders square to the target or bladed (which is usually associated with the foot stance shift). 100+ years ago shooting was one handed without any assistance from the other hand. You still see that in Olympic shooting. I think it’s more about learning older/obsolete methods. These things were state of the art at the time, and obviously did work. But, thinking evolved.

i dont watch corridor much anymore because im not a fan of just reaction content but honestly this was a really cool video getting to hear from THEE Taran Tactical

Thank you, sir.

Jesus, I hadn't realized Taran was such a unit. Dude's gotta be tall right?

The movie Se7en comes to mind. Obviously that masterpiece isn't noted for it's excellent gun control (rather it's brilliant story, screenplay, music, direction... everything), however if you check it out how all the guns are handled in it, it's very professional - suprisingly so.

I always figured the Bourne 1 reload was because the ridiculous jump and landing had just like knocked the pistol or something and the mag popped out

I saw a podcast with Taran, and what struck me was just sitting around smokin’ and jokin’ was he actually seems like a fun guy to talk too.

Love hearing Taran talk guns and shooting!

In SHOOTER Mark Walberg is executing a modified SPORTS technique. Slap up on the mag... Pull the charging handle Observe the Bolt Going Forward. Tap the Forward assist..Shoot

Without seeing a moment, they better bring up Heat.

HAD to go back to 3:00 to see what I laughed thru from that Arnie blabber ! Hilarious !! Taran- nuttin spoils a good story like an eye witness. Now, git somebody ta do motorcycles properly PLEASE.

Guns are such a staple in movies this was a cool episode

One of the best videos of all time. Guns in movies masterclass 👏

My favourite movie pistol reload is Hit Girl's technique in the film Kick Ass, fantasy but fun. Whereas Taran is showing how experts do it right.

Taran talking about guns in movies could be a regular episode.

Great episode. I'd be very happy to be casually gifted a Pit Viper by Mr. Taran! 😬

Nice video, thank you

Good break down Taran great seeing you and Tatiana gotta catch up with ya’ll soon !

The thing I hate most in movies is when a "special ops" guy blinks when he shoots. Like, yeah.

1:05 I don’t know if everyone caught the shell in the shotgun that didn’t fully eject causing malfunction 😂

2:05 yeah it was the blades on the front! That's what made that kill possible! I'm out

"We're gonna use the actual Glock 34 from John Wick 2 for The Punisher" someone please explain. Is Punisher back in production??

Its almost like Taran only knows how to handle a weapon well and then thinks he can teach people how to do it

The reload in shooter actually looked like a tap rack bang drill. You see him tap the bottom of the mag, then slap the bolt release then pull the charging handle. Not being an expert it would seem like he loaded a fresh mag on an open bolt, hit the bolt release that didn't close all the way and then manually charged the gun. Feels actually like a well done shot.

Wow all those films were like yeah ❤ so got to watch them films all again Mel Gibson in them films was fantastic. I was like holey cow I'm a geek 😜. That was sweet riding back into the past😅

Awesome

That was cool thank you.

Awesome!

The way the guy in the middle holds that Pit Viper, lol. If Taran Butler gifted me a Pit Viper I wouldn't be able to put it down. Check to see it was clear & then run the gun nonstop for 5 minutes. Trigger, trigger reset, reloads, one hand/two hand grip, press checks, strip it down, et cetera.

You should review boondock saints

Heat 2 and a new Punisher?! Spoiler alert! LOL

I thought I wanted a Beretta like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon....that is until I held and shot one recently for the first time. Holding the grip on that thing is like holding a brick!

Nice. i'd say more, but i don't have anything else to say.

I love resident evil but in the second movie Jill Valentine is in the police station, shoots a bunch of zombies then reloads, there is a quick cut and then she reloads again lol 😂

EXTRA STYLE LOOK VIDEO ⚡✨⚡✨⚡✨⚡✨⚡✨⚡✨

You missed the pistol double-reload that Moretz does in "Kick Ass". 8>)

I would love a Pit Viper 😩

What annoys me the most, is when guns rattle all the time like they were cans filled with marbles. Also when machine guns, automatic rifles or sub machineguns keep clicking when the mag is empty, like they were some kind of cuckoo clock. Not to forget: the minigun with a fire rate of 600 rpm - why the fuck do they use a minigun and slow it down? Oh and when someone cocks the hammer of a Glock.

Too bad you didn't mention Gibson blinking every time. 😅

Check out the way of the gun benicio del toro!

Note to self 📝 invite Taran Butler to channel to get a pit viper 😂

I am with Taran on this...Austin Butler is perfect for Chris Shirliss in Heat 2 !!! I watched the videos of Austin running and gunning with Tetiana Gaidar and he was very slick with the weapons handling....and yeah bad weapons handling in film and tv really irks me. Bad trigger discipline, muzzle awareness, flagging...just take the time to be better and then it'll look a lot better

Pooping without a butt whole I love that saying

The Shooter clip (Walburg) is a malfunction drill. Tap an rack

👍👍

M41a pulse rifle 😊

Steven seagal first movies have excellent gun handling in my opinion.

Wasn't Andy McNab a consultant on heat?

You gotta watch Buffy The Vampyre Slayer, second season somewhere in the middle, when mercs are hunting her. One very special merc is handling sidearm... well, VERY specially :D

OK Taran has clearly not been in an actual gun store for the past 15 years if he's still calling the Mini-14 a "cheap" alternative to the AR-15. Brother, the Mini-14 is now more expensive than the AR, even in his home state of California. Minis regularly go for over $1100 (more now since the 11% firearms tax went into effect a month ago) while you can get a good AR for below a thousand. In fact, I have the Fall 2024 flyer for Turners Outdoorsman in front of me right now: a Mini-14 is selling for $1050 while both a Fabrique Nationale FN-15 Guardian and a Stag Arms STAG15 rifle are only $950. And there's also an IWI Z-15 rifle for $840. And these are all discounted prices.

I think Mark Wahlberg was clearing a misfire using SPORTS and not reloading

2:22 .454 Cassull existed at that time, but it was intended for big game. Most of the energy of a .44 Magnum is wasted on a human enemy. That's why .44 Special is preferred for D-FENS use. 2:34 The only thing I don't like about Clint's style is that he does that "grasp the wrist" thing. Why was that such a popular thing to do in the 1970s?! And actors kept on doing that for decades after that! 3:00 Red Heat is good. Dead Heat is better. Dead Heat stars Treat...Williams, that is. Joe Piscopo too. 6:38 What irks me is when a gun is fired empty before it oughtta be empty. Like, for example, a dude has a standard fixed-tube shotgun (and it typically would be a "dude" but not always) that should hold a total of five standard rounds (four in the tube, one in the chamber), but he only fires two, and it's empty. That means he went into battle knowing that he'd under-supplied his own gun. Usually happens with "henchpersons." 6:51 How is it even possible to screw that up in a scene like that on a movie with that kind of budget?! I like SIGs and Glocks, but that lack of attention to detail is - to borrow a word from Henry Jones, Sr. - "intolerable!" I've seen goofs like that in movies with lower budgets, and it's usually when a gun gets dropped on the ground. It switches to a different gun because guns have "stunt doubles" just like actors, but the prop masters don't always care if it's the same make and model, so they pick something that they figure is "close enough," assuming that the audience won't notice - which is insulting to those of us who have a keen eye for detail. 7:04 That's not how you do a McMillan Tilt. 8:16 Why even bother wearing a helmet?! 🤣 8:38 False. It's select-fire with semi-auto and tri-burst modes. Beretta understood that full-auto is pointless on a machine pistol, so they stuck with "hyper" burst-fire. 8:54 Technically, a Mini-14 (or AC-556?) spliced together with an Ithaca 37. 8:57 False. It's more like a scaled-down M-14, hence the name. There's also the Mini-30 in 7.62x39mm. 8:58 A-Team style with the stock folded into its storage position. 9:20 Thompson M-1A1 spliced together with a super-short Remington 870 with the forearm of a Franchi SPAS-12. They're called "pulse" rifles because their caseless ammo is ignited with an electric pulse. Hicks describes it as being 10mm over 30mm, but it's actually 11.43mm (.45 ACP) over 18.5mm (12-gauge), so it would have been more plausible for the grenade launcher to be 20mm. On screen, 12-gauge could pass for 20mm but not 30mm. 9:26 Try to convince me that those turrets didn't inspire Roland's Scorpio turret and Axton's Sabre turret from the first two Borderlands games.

Austin Butler would be fucking BADASS to play a younger version of Val Kilmer for the Heat sequel hopefully it will happen i don't see any body else.

Wait... John McClain was in LETHAL WEAPON???

The Mini 14 is a turd?! The A Team would like to have a few words with you!

Mel Gibson is great, but he flinches A LOT

Why do you guys have superfluous subtitles at the bottom? If someone is having trouble hearing, why wouldn't they just put the closed captioning up?

Taran isn't wrong with everyone wanting the Smith & Wesson model 29 after Dirty Harry...problem is they had pretty much stopped production when the movie came out

Actually, the .44 Remington Magnum was usurped at the time by the .454 Casull, even though it wasn't a mass-produced revolver. Just sayin'.

Taran! Don’t you dare putting a Glock 34 on Jon Bernthal’s hands man! That’s just wrong. The Punisher is a 1911 dude and his best version used a Kimber Det 1. Nothing beats a 1911, it’s the ultimate American gun. So don’t!

Great video, until you trashed my Mini-14 🧐

In John Wick 2 he still would have been better off with more 30 round mags for that AR instead of shifting to a MUCH smaller capacity semi auto shotgun. That was fun specifically for people who want to pretend 3 gun shooting is realistic. But, be real … do you want 7 rounds of shotgun shells with a slow reload … or a couple more 30 round AR mags that reload faster and get the job done just as well. For gun people that was a very silly transition. A second AR with zero spare mags would represent more shots than he took with that shotgun.

It was freaking awesome that it was a clip from Beverly Hills Cop lll which the movie was freaking horrible and the new Cop movie on Netflix was freaking awful Eddie Murphy should go to the gun shooting range with Taran Tacticals to get ready for Beverly Hills Cop V it needs to be with Paramount with a better action director it would be fucking BADASS.

💟💟💟💟😁😁😁😁🤔👍😀

Nice to see taran point out the 🤔.......WTF is that

I'm really curious if the shooter reload, was actually a s.p.o.r.t.s. deal. Take the beginning of the movie ole Markie Mark was operating the Barret as a single action because the blanks wouldn't cycle the bolt, and it was stated by the firearm instructor Mark Wahlberg was legitimately just acting like it was a failure to fire and operated it like a professional, (weapons should malfunction a ton more in movies lol) but if you slow it down with the reloading the m-4 it looks like while on the run he may have been full on slap, pull, observe, release, tap squeeze. The fireball hid a lot... regardless, that's enough internet today.... I'm thinking about this way to much jumping up to defend Markie Mark and the funky bunch at this point... Jason Bourne has been either heightened or ruined with his Trans pistol lol.

Taran is supernatural!

Dude, mini14 aren’t cheap, these days are only a few hundred bucks less than a DanielDefense AR15

Cmon men... where's gun from "deep rising". Exclusive shit.

I‘m interested in the content of the video but I honestly can’t take these huge, turquoise, pungent and headache-inducing subtitles. There is a subtitle option on youtube, you know?!

❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😢😮😮😅😅
