Any photograph can be magnified with absolute clarity, no matter how much available detail there actually is. An average PC can even clean up the most pixelated mess automatically, with only a 2% margin of error. The result will be completely infallible evidence that can be admitted it in any court, guaranteed.
Any scientific or mechanical problem that would normally take hours or days to solve can be finished within minutes, but only if your life depends on it.
When defusing a bomb, always cut the red or yellow wire. Odds are that at least one of them (if not both) is linked to the detonator. Never think you're assured which, however, because then you'll pick the wrong one.
The average firearm comes with at least 300 rounds per ammo cartridge, and the approximated accuracy of a drunken mallard on stilts.
Anything flammable will explode violently when shot, no matter how much oxygen it normally takes to ignite under the best conditions.
Any machine built for rational logic and complex intelligence will eventually conclude that it needs to kill all humans.
Most significantly advanced alien cultures are only out to conquer anything in their way, including little old Earth. SETI is a liability to all humanity.
Government secrets are known to just about every department except NASA and the President.
There really is sound in space. Even if nothing is going on, there's always a dull roar coming from somewhere. Must be all that "dark matter".

[ShadowTiger]

Anyone with superior firepower to you will often lack the training necessary to use it.
Whenever you are exposed to radiation, the effects are never carcinogenic, and will result in a newfound superpower, rather than a newfound lump on your testicles.

[DarkPanther]

If you are being chased, keys are inoperable and should not be used to open doors or start an ignition. It is also important to note, kicking or shoulder-charging a door is an infallible way to get through a locked door, and jamming any readily foreign object into an ignition switch will work just as well as the key.

A killer can be identified by the length of his stride which is equal to approximately 250% that of a normal stride. It is not necessary for a killer to run to keep up with a victim.

Secret agencies are very secretive. Unless you are about to die. Then all of their secrets will be dispensed to you in short order, along with what they are about to do shortly after your demise.

If a single bullet kills you, it went through your head or heart. A bullet wound anywhere else is non-terminal.

The impact of an explosion powerful enough to send a house splintering into the sky will not send any debris directly at you. Stand still and you're fine. Even if the detonation propels you away from the explosion, it will throw you further than most anything else. And you might get a little sooty, but you'll never burn.

Guns are loud as fuck when you're firing them, but they won't effect your hearing. You can still whisper your escape route to your partner crouching on the other side of the hallway 10 feet away.

Blood either spurts and pours out of your body like a river or spits a little and then stains.

[Rainman]

Some guns related ones:

- Guns are only to be cocked when the handler want to use it as a threatening move when they are holding someone at gun point.

- Bullet will make sparks no matter what surfaces they are striking.

~All dogs go to heaven and all cats go to h-ll, no matter what the sin, be it gambling, lying, murder, kidnapping, or even winding their own lifeclock and falling out of heaven. The only way for a dog to go to h-ll is to go to heaven, crush his wings and halo, call the cat devil on the phone, get him to let you out of heaven, and make a deal to help him and all the cat demons take over heaven. Then, and only then, will a dog be sent to h-ll. Cats will never be allowed into heaven under any circumstances.

Hey it's all I got :D

-bullets come in many different colors, depending on the weapon that fires them

[Lilith]

the most annoying ones:

- if you stab or shoot someone ONCE, they will immediately die. you don't have to aim perfectly at the heart or wait for them to bleed to death or get an infection. they'll just fall over.

- no one ever shits themselves or goes into death throes when they die. they just fall over.

Sorry, I always laugh about the stabbing/shooting/arrow shit. Oh no, I was stabbed once in a non-vital organ, time to DIE in 2 seconds. By falling over.
