If you watch Sean Connery or George Lazenby’s portrayal of James Bond in movies, you’ll notice that they hold handguns one-handed, often firing from the hip or point shooting (shooting instinctively, without using the sights).
In comparison, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig use two hands (though not always effectively) to shoot their pistols. This Bondian evolution on the silver screen is reflective of a change in the actual shooting world brought about by a Marine Corps veteran named Jeff Cooper.

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up and prepare for takeoff into the adrenaline-fueled world of one of cinema’s most iconic action films.
Released in 1986, Tony Scott’s “Top Gun” stars a young Tom Cruise as the daring pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, who catapults audiences into the high-stakes realm of naval aviation.

Yuma Proving Ground police have had to crack down on trespassers on the 1,300-square-mile range, where the services test their latest experimental tech and regularly conduct live-fire training exercises — both of which are inherently dangerous and make it a less-than-ideal place to meander aimlessly.
During the 1950s, mushroom clouds regularly rose on the horizon of the blistering Nevada desert, visible from hotel rooftops and cocktail lounges in Las Vegas. Rather than fleeing from these symbols of unimaginable destruction, Americans moved toward them.
Tourists gathered with cameras, newspapers printed test schedules, and casinos timed breakfasts and cocktails to coincide with nuclear detonations. Out of this surreal convergence of spectacle and science emerged one of the most striking and unsettling cultural icons of Cold War America: Miss Atomic Bomb.
New footage replaced by Chinese state media has shown the People’s Liberation Army Navy Type 055 class destroyer Lhasa operating alongside one of the service’s oldest surface combat ships, the Type 051C class destroyerShijiazhuang, highlighting how modern multirole and older specialist destroyer types can field highly complementary capabilities.
