Snipping with a hand gun

Major plot hole with the combat scene where Hammond gets shot... there is no way he can shoot and kill someone at that range with a hand gun not forgetting the rebel was using a machine gun - again highly unlikely it would it a target at that distance.

Was such a hollywood moment when Hammond appears out of nowhere to save the day momentarily...

I thought it showed him as a very good shot

I guess if they showed him firing a gun in New York and killing a guy in Beijing, you would think he was a REALLY good shot?

Probably. That's not what the term "plothole" is for though.

True. Just an example of suspension of disbelief. Like pretty much the entire movie.

I love it, LMAO! Ofcourse you can! If you can manage to manipulate any known handgun
to serve as shears, boXcutter, knife, or any other "snipping" tool- you're already
a wizard manipulating solid state physics. Snipping is a process that separates a piece of material into two pieces along a plane. Although some of the total work expended to make the cut actually does go into breaking chemical bonds (covalent, metallic, ionic, van-waals etc.) across the plane.
