"Hey dad, can I shoot a gun in the house for my lego movie?"
"Sure, son."
Hand guns have a kick in the tip of the gun when fired. So I would animate the tip going up then down slowly with the arm moving slightly.
Wait... what happened to my sig! my largest picture was only 401x100! 
Stressed or angry moderators can be unmerciful at times. I once gave someone a signature that was 402 by 99 and they took it down.
Sorry this has nothing to do with the topic, but to get a good sig (this is what I did) open up gimp, go to file new, and type in 400 x 100 for the size of your sig, then create whtver sig you want. Then save it and put it on here!
Thanks for the advise everyone! We filmed a bit of a scene in which there are gunshots in, and it looks pretty good; we'll be filming some more tonight, so we'll (Maybe just JP 3) be sure to incorporate the tips that you guys gave us.

What? The last time I saw, your sig was as wide as the typing box

It was made up of 4 different images.

You don't have to shoot it yourself.
Look on YouTube, there are lots of guns being fired.
Sometimes, in slow motion!
