The one that gets me is people flying backwards when hit by a bullet / shotgun blast.

I can accept it in movies that aren't going for realism, even though it annoys me. But, I've seen it in movies that are trying for a gritty realism aesthetic, and after that I just can't enjoy the movie. Add to that movies where silencers go "pfft", or someone uses a pillow as a silencer, or people shoot guns without ear protection or hearing damage.

    Physics wasn't my best science, but wouldn't the recoil have to be equivalent? So if the bad guy gets thrown back 3 feet, the protagonist would also get thrown back about that amount?
