And for something briefly different, here's a small cut from the Michael Mann movie Heat, showing Val Kilmer operating operationally with a Colt M733, he's got pretty good shooting form here, the reload is great.
Very entertaining movie, has some great shootouts in it. What I like especially is that Michael Mann is a bit of a gun guy, and intentionally left in the recorded noise of the blank firing guns, rather than having stock archive noises applied, the result is that the gunfights actually come across as appropriately loud. Supposedly some of the actors volunteered to not wear earplugs (which would have to be digitally removed in post), Val Kilmer being among these, and he lost some hearing from a scene where he fires this 5.56mm carbine from inside of a car.
I also am very fond of the exaggerated star-like muzzleflash you get with flashy movie blanks and birdcage flash-hiders.
