This is on the lighter side but it's still related to training. Ever wonder why people turn up to classes with all sorts of weird notions of how to do things? Maybe it has something to do with what they see in the media (including trainer promo vids, but that's far more serious than I intend for this discussion).
For example, I'm a geek/nerd/<insert pejorative> and thus at least aware of the long-running British fantasy television series Dr. Who. One of the spin-offs of Dr. Who is Torchwood. In that series, a policewoman has been recruited into a small group that deals with aliens and alien technology. Since she had no training with firearms in the police the leader at her new job takes on the task and turns her into an expert in one session. It would be hard to come up with a definitive list of all the things wrong in that one scene.
This is my nomination for most firearms-ignorant scene ever filmed.
This one is hard to top but does anybody have any other nominations?
