- Pump-action shotguns with tubular magazines under the barrel have
- infinite ammunition capacity -- they never need to be reloaded.
-
- Fully-automatic weapons with magazines that externally appear to be about
- 30-round capacity actually hold several hundred rounds, and only
- need to be removed and replaced with another during natural pauses in
- the action, usually while the holder is crouching behind a barrel.
-
- Revolvers with 6 chambers in the cylinder actually hold dozens of rounds
- of ammo.
-
- Practically nobody can hit anything, no matter how many rounds they fire
- or how confined the space...
-
- When somebody actually gets hit, either it kills them immediately or it
- doesn't really hurt very much, and a hand clamped over the wound will
- keep them from excessive bleeding... No one ever gets a disabling
- wound.
-
- Heroes can absorb any amount of blows, torture, or fatigue, and they
- still will be able to perform feats of acrobatics and fight perfectly-
- healthy and fresh enemies, beating them all.
