My favorite?

When the mobster hitman/etc. takes out Ye Olde .38 special....and then fits a suppressor to it.

....Which magically works.

(Oh, and the ones where the characters are making good hits, but are blinking or jerking the trigger so hard that it's visibly pulling the pistol WAY off target every shot. Hi Mr. Gibson.)

My favorite gun myth from hollywood has to be recoil. Or rather the absence of the same.

Or on the flipside of that

Guy shoots baddie with a 1911 multiple times
