This Movie Scene Is a Crime Against Firearms

About this video

Colion critiques a scene from the sci-fi movie Elevation in which a character microwaves live ammunition, loads rounds backwards into a magazine, and fires at a metal plate from close range without safety precautions. He breaks down why each step violates basic firearm safety and function, arguing the scene disrespects both firearms knowledge and filmmaking credibility. Colion uses this example to promote his podcast Pew Culture, where he and his co-host analyze gun handling and accuracy in movies.

Key takeaways

• Colion emphasizes that microwaving live ammunition is extremely dangerous and creates an explosive hazard, not a functional enhancement
• According to Colion, loading cartridges backwards into a magazine demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how firearms operate
• Colion points out that firing at metal armor from close range at an upward angle without eye protection or cover violates basic safety practices and creates ricochet danger
