Do men that shoot blanks have a better chance of becoming stunt men in the movies?

Only if they can ride and shoot straight at the same time.

Nope, not as far as modern science is concerned. It's impossible. People can be a lot stronger than others, however (bodybuilders), but that's mostly steroids. As for real actual superhero abilities, they're basically just a myth...and something fun to make movies and write stories about!

Hi marllis,\nI met the stuntman once, a few weekends ago. I was walking to the corner market for a loaf of bread when I had to pass by a neighborhood church. I was somewhat acquainted with the structure as it was always mentioned in the newspaper's community section. Known as "The loft," folks would gather there on Thursday evenings for poetry readings. \nHowever, this day happened to be a Saturday afternoon and a pair of gentlemen greeted me as I walked by. They invited me inside to sample an hour of their presentation. Ok, I went inside and found myself to be a prospective new recruit for their brand of religion. \n\nMost of the pews were filled with hooded monks chanting a haunting rhythm. There were others who like me, were wearing their regular denims. The service began like most others that church-goers would be familiar with. A grand master of ceremonies led the group through some songs and gave a sermon. Near the end of the hour it was time for their ritual of "laying on of the hands." Some of the parishioners would come forward and ask for prayers for their ailments or for a sick grand mum who fell down in the tub. All the hooded dudes whose faces could not readily be seen would all place a hand on the person and their combined energies were presumed to have a strength and expedite a solution to the problem. \n\nOK now, there was another new guy in the pews who was watching eagerly. I recognized stuntman1967 from a wanted poster viewed earlier at the post office. When he saw a chance, he approached the ring of conspirators and described how he was always moving around and never able to settle down. The hooded goons closed in upon him, all to make a physical connection. The master of ceremonies began a prayer, a dogmatic mix of logic and pure hocus-pocus. I immediately saw the effects of the procedure as the tension went out of stuntman1967's body. When the beseeching was near an end, the master asked, "Are the brothers ready?" \n\nA suspenseful few moments passed until he almost shouted, "NOW!" \n\nOn that cue, the brothers began to pummel their hapless victim. Continually delivering blows over head and to the solar plexus until stuntman1967 was down on the floor getting stomped. After another minute, the grand Pooh-Bah decided the treatment administered was sufficient to induce a relaxing calm that would assuage the nervousness of stuntman1967 for a long, long time. \n\nI can't say for certain if stuntman1967 got the comeuppance he deserved as I had a loaf of bread to buy and some other errands to do that day. I hope for you marllis, that you do find a sense of closure to this difficult episode of life. \n\n-viqueur

Yes,  I've seen it done on the Discovery Channel.\n\nIt was a Vietnam Documentary.\n\nThe U.S. solider doing it seemed to be holding it pretty straight. He was on a corner firing down the street

Depends. You play shooting games you can increase your eye accuracy. You play the RPG and strategy games you are able to upgrade you skill of interpreting things. When it is all about fun you get nothing

That depends on the individual and how much muscle mass they have.  For instance, Vin Diesel has a greater percentage of muscle weight than, say, Clay Aiken. *nods*

Hmm...it really does depend on the guy's looks (for me at least). Some guys just look better with flat abs, but most I like with a little bit of a rounded type of belly. Not a beer gut, but the rounded type of muscular...I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Hmm...good examples...okay, how about The Rock in "The Scorpion King." He had more of a rounded type of belly...still fit though.

Yep, his earlier movies wherein he did a lot of martial arts were kick-ass flicks.  For some reason they started to suck when he started shooting in Europe.....................

I dont know about everything better, but i spent 8 years in the united states marine corps, and as a male i was sceptical at first about women in the military. howerver, i learned women can shoot better, and learn how to shoot faster, then men  on average. i also learned women tend to find innovative solutions to problems that the average male didnt think of. By the end of my tours of service, i firmly believed that women were an important part of the USMC! Thats my small part of the answer.

what gives you THAT idea?! They do too shoot weapons in the Boot Camp.  Small arms as well as rifle.  Anybody who stands a roving shipboard watch is also qual'd in weapons handling.

Hmm well maybe because every pron magazine that comes out of America has atleast million pics of blondes showing whatever they have to show..every XXX movies have them, most of the hollywood movies have atleast one blonde.... SO maybe guys get the idea that the women who will are going to let them do it are the blondes...\nAs for me i dont know what they have ,to be proud of or to make them better looking than others.....

Going straight up, like a rocket.  Despite what Goose said to Maverick in Top Gun, it's not a commonly said thing.\n\nYou should also keep in mind that if you're not sure how it's used, your audience may not be either.  Use terms that your audience knows or can easily discern from contextual clues.\n\nBill\nRetired USAF guy

nope. Stunts WITHOUT the training & professional approach is suicidal. Stunt people work with the WIDEST margin of safety, and are dedicated to upholding the standards of the industry and reducing risk.\n\nStunts such as drag racing, skydiving, hang gliding, bungee jumping are very adenaline-addictive. But, doing that SAFELY, is life affirming, not death-courting. Suicides don't want to be safe.

Essentially, blanks are the regular cartridge, but instead of the shell (the pointy bit, otherwise known as the bullet), there is a round circle of cardboard.  The gun still fires as usual, but is much lighter (how arnold can shoot a big gun with one hand).  In theory, the cardboard should be burned and harmless, but for the first second or so, it's still dangerous.  So, it's a yes and no.  If you're wearing proper protective gear and are more than a foot from the person who's firing at you, you should be fine.  \n\nAn aside: A bullet has three main parts, the shell (the one that kills people) the cartridge (what holds the gunpowder) and a starter (what the hammer hits and what ignites the gunpowder).  For hollywood, if they show somebody loading bullets into a gun, they use bullets with deactivated starters, no gunpowder and regular shells.  Then, for firing, they use blanks.\n\nI would say that you should express your concern to whoever is running the wargames and see what they say.  they could be using a special setup, i don't know.  \n\nI know that was complicated, but best of luck!\n\n-Belril
