Gotta agree, I always liked that scene in Heat. It came across very plausible to me.
Now I need to find that video of Larry’s comments on Collateral. I loved the speed rock and nightclub scene. I saw that movie at the theater with my wife of the time. When Cruise did that speed rock I had a loud excited outburst and said to my wife “that was awesome! That’s not Hollywood, that’s how you do it for real”. She kept hitting me and shushing me. She was so embarrassed. I just sat there with a huge grin on my face.

I saw his Collateral analysis a while back and enjoyed it. This breakdown was also excellent and a much more difficult scenario to explain, but two thumbs up to Larry.
I find Larry Vickers to be the most credible, thorough, and informative gun guy in you tube firearms videos. He doesn’t simply regurgitate stats, he breaks stuff down in clear and easy to digest terms.
Many post opinions that one shouldn't over lube their firearms.
Ever see the video of LAV and another guy dunking their AR's into 5 gallon buckets of oil and immediately shot them without a single failure?
It was hilarious and put to rest (for me anyway) tut, tut, one mustn't overlube or it won't go bang, b.s......

The only time I would heavily lube a gun is if it's going into storage. I'm also not concerned about malfunctions from lubricants. The reason I wouldn't heavily lubricate everything on a gun is because it will trap dust and debris over time and that can cause excessive wear on parts like the pivot points on trigger systems, or other metal on metal machined areas.

Nope. Too much lube is better than too little.

“The golden rule in weapons lubricant is you can run a gun dirty and wet, but not dirty and dry. Truer words have never been spoken about weapons lubricant. Guns always work better the cleaner they are, but most modern designs are far more forgiving about carbon fouling than they are about lubrication. Remember to keep it lubed always and clean it when you can and you will be much better off over the long haul.
The topic of keeping a weapon dry in desert environments comes up quite often. Sand is the ultimate enemy of guns and can wreak havoc with modern small arms. I have been part of extreme weapons testing and can tell you that I have no doubt in my mind that in sandy environments you are much better off with a gun that is lubed than one that is dry. Having sand coat your small arm like a sugar cookie with some lubricant still in place is a better situation than a completely dry weapon in a sandy environment. Your weapon may still malfunction, but not anything like it would if it was bone dry. It is unbelievable how non functional a dry weapon can become in an extreme sandy environment. It will become manually operated at a bare minimum. Your best bet for a functional weapon in extreme conditions is to keep it lubed and keep it covered. It may take longer to employ the weapon depending on the cover used, but it will most likely work when you need it to.“

I didnt say dry, I always run machines appropriately lubricated. I'm also not battling in a desert. I live a civilian suburban/rural life. Proper maintenance isn't that difficult. I just don't have lubricant dripping down the trigger and off the slide if it's not being stored.

Just don’t use “Italian gun grease”. I bought some after watching some impressive videos it seemed awesome. I lubed up a few pistols with it and put them in a safe. 6 months later I took one to the range and found that the stuff caused all firearms I used it to malfunction after storage.
Isn't that the liquid remnant from cooking sausage & peppers?
One of the best replies to the video is this one.. courtesy of MrBuddylove50: "Law enforcement officers won't take shots that could hit civilians LAPD: Hold my beer."
I laughed pretty hard.

Vickers is the absolute best!
As for his recent weight loss, this gives you some insight...
