Please tell me that I'm wrong about this. I was watching a German movie last night and a woman shoots a guy with a Beretta 92 until she runs out of ammo. She keeps pulling the trigger and the gun goes, "click, click, click." Doesn't the Beretta, like most full-size autos, lock the slide back when all shots have been fired? If so, then there would have been no "click, click, click" when she tried to pull the trigger. Later in the movie, without the gun being reloaded, a guy shoots and kills the woman. Oh well, it was a movie....

Beretta 92 that shoots when empty

Maybe a hard primer? The 92 does go to slide lock though.

Re: Beretta 92 that shoots when empty
yeah the slide would normally lock back when the gun is empty. But I have seen cases where a gun might not have the slide lock back though. Magazine or slide lock actuator has a problem. So it is plausible. Also if the cartridge has a defective primer it might not fire off. I do like double action guns that let you pull the trigger again though. Granted if the primer is bad it may not go off. But it is nice on those primers that need a little extra to get them to fire off.

I think the same thing happened in Die Hard when McLain gives Hans an empty gun. Hans pulls the trigger three or four times when it was "empty."

Hollywood must get their guns from different suppliers than regular people, along with those bullets that spark on metal surfaces, and cause gas tanks to explode.

Could have been a DAO model.........but it's more likely that it was just another "Hollywood" misrepresentation......I just love catching all the gun mistakes in movies/TV.
