Another thing sound effects people like to recycle is firearm sounds.
From Mel Gibsons THE PATRIOT, to TOMBSTONE, to QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER, they always get firearm sounds wrong.
Listen to the sound the rifle makes when Quigley works the action on his Sharps Model 1874 -- clickety-ratchet-click when he opens the action, clickety-ratchet-click when he closes the action.
The real Sharps makes almost no sound when the action is opened, and just a small metallic snap when the action is closed -- this snap is caused by the trigger-guard/lever hitting the lower tang on the frame.

Are handguns in particular really this loosely fitted together? They always sound like they're about to fall apart. :nonod:
