This too. You'd be bafflef how many people think the shell casing is part of the bullet that's fired. Like little rockets lol.

It's literally that xkcd geologist cartoon, where they think the average person knows the chemical formula for feltzbar and quartz. Everyone vastly overestimates the average person's knowledge level for areas they themselves already understand.
