276. Clearing a building with a long barreled M16 or a full on sniper rifle is a completely valid option.
277. No weapon will ever have a useable fire selector. Ever.
278. Varying weapons of the same caliber, with the same gas system and barrel length, will have wildly different knockdown power.
279. Your sights and optics will always be aligned. Perfectly. No shock can ever change that.
280. Wind is a non issue, no matter your range.
281. Weapons don't jam, even after you crawl through the sand with them.
282. Almost all engagements will occur within thirty feet. The effective range of handguns is exactly 29 feet.
283. Recoil is a non-issue.
284. .50 AE or BMG is the best caliber, ever.
285. Revolvers always come in magnum. Always. (In all seriousness, I have yet to see a revolver in a game of less than .357 magnum caliber.)

kinda, sorta alive.

286. It is still a good decision to have a gun's ejection port spit empty casings at the person who fires it. After all, the bolt moving back and forth is nice looking.
