I count bullets. If someone with a revolver fires off 20 rounds in a row without a pause, the show/movie lost credibility and I’m taken out of it. Extra bad if they later try to use ammo as a plot device to raise drama, ugh.
That’s a bad script supervisor. A script supervisor is responsible for scene continuity between takes. Guaranteed the shooting schedule had a dozen days of frequent high intensity filming and the script supervisor was tired from making sure really busy scenes lined up within the time allowed.
I hate when an actor clearly doesn’t even understand how to hold and aim a gun and their character is supposed to be competent at it.
Cate Blanchet’s character in Borderlands is a recent and particularly obvious example. In the movie’s trailer she is shown holding and aiming a rifle like someone who clearly never held a gun before and my understanding is that her character was supposed to be a highly competent gunslinger.
Or when people in a gunfight clearly aren’t hearing the apocalyptically loud sound gunshots would make in their situation - like in a small room or in a car.
I think the problem is that Cate Blanchett has too big an ego to be taught/learn anything, including how to act. But that’s just my humble opinion.
I don’t know enough to notice bad gunplay but anachronistic makeup/hair styling can bother me. Costumes I give some slack because it could be a budget issue.

Someone coach those actors for crying out loud.

Take your finger off the trigger!
The butt of the stock goes against your shoulder, not in your armpit!
It’s just bad prop decisions. There are guns that better fit. In a cheap movie, I can forgive it. A budget over 200k? I’m upset
I don’t know enough about the division of duties to know whose fault it is, but I blame the director. It’s just lazy, and easy.
Underworld was always the one that annoyed me with their guns. Main character fires this automatic handgun for minutes and doesn’t reload.
