how do they get guns to keep visibly shooting well beyond mag capacity in movies?

you know what i mean, when you see a guy grab an ar with a standard mag, and you then see them shoot in a single uncut scene what would be much more than 30 rounds? i mean, how do they maintain the appearance of firing for what would be well more than 30 blank rounds?

i tried uploading a kino WEBM but filesize is being a b***h so heres arnold

      currently watching 2007 the kingdom lol, and i just watched a bunch of single shots where the guy was shooting off over 100 rds.

      but yes, believable. ahem, i guess this thread is closed then.

    Old school special effects, they would just overlay the muzzle blast frames.

    Do you have a single example of an actual uncut scene doing that?

      This. All I can think of is that OP thinks they film large chunks of actions scenes in one go rather than piecemeal, and that when it cuts back and forth to a character, that was totally one continuous bit of film.

      Also skeptical of OP's claim. Often times they film the action with just one camera, stopping the action and restarting for each new angle, so they are actually shooting the weapon for only a few seconds before each camera cut. Then they film each new take starting with a full magazine and they never run out of bullets.
      They usually brag about authenticity when they don't do this and film a scene back to back with various simultaneous cameras instead.

      as i said, was watching the kingdom and tried to make a WEBM but my screen recorder was suddenly being fricked and idgaf. but the first violence bit in the kingdom some terrorist guy grabs an AR and he easily fires off 60+ rounds. yes, a lot of movies are at least within the range of believability/near-realism, but this scene reminded me of a lot of idiotic scenes ive seen in older blockbuster low/zero-realism Hollywood action movies.

      yes, i fricking realize that the second an angle changes in shooting, there could be 10 hours between the millisecond change. frick off.

      kek, theres the answer i wanted. some kind of cutout magazine with a long tube that stretches behind the actor or into bluescreen. if you look very carefully you can see the spot where the background is CGed in.

      only related, but examples of movies where they actually reload/change mags during an action scene?

      im trying to think of most realistic shooting scenes. cant think of it right now, just woke up, but i love any scene with gun jams.

    In the old days they just did multiple takes of the actor firing blanks then make subtle edits, so it looks like one long continuous burst of fire.
    Nowadays everything is airsoft and CGI

    Hollywood has access to secret super high tech guns that never need to be reloaded. Kubrick found them when he went to the moon to learn how to stage the perfect fake Moon Landing

    i recall a shot from a vietnam documentary of a dude firing a mg full auto, looked like a firehose of bullets. Can't remember how long he kept it up for but it was several seconds at least
