For years I've be-yotched about two Hollywood gun sound effects I've come to detest: The clicky/ratchet sound when a character spins the cylinder of a DA revolver (they don't DO that) and the sound of ejected brass pinging on concrete or hardwood no matter what type of ground the character is shooting on--grass, mud, snow, indoor carpeting, etc.
Last night I heard a new one.
For a while now Hollywood has been adding a "schwing" sound whenever a character handles a knife or edged weapon of any kind. (My knives don't "sing" like that. Do yours?) But last night they took it even a step further.
On Breaking Bad, the character had some .38 ammo lined up, standing on its rims, on his kitchen counter. Every time he picked up a round and put it in his revolver, the ammo made a little "ping" sound of some kind. This wasn't even when he dropped each round in the cylinder, the sound happened as he picked each round up off the counter.
My ammo doesn't make any noise at all when I handle it. Does yours?
