Weapons skills


The girls were supposedly trained by their father. But when they fire automatic weapons they stand and fire as if they have never held a gun in their lives.

It was the 80's look at Col Matrixs' gun handling in Commando. The fact that the girls fire guns and fight back without needing men to come to the rescue make this movie ahead of its time.

Gun handling in TV and film seems to be getting generally better, if rather gradually.
That said, perhaps their "training" was just a very occasional "fun day" at a military firing range? When shooting is done as an occasional lark, proper technique may be taught, but probably won't be retained...
