Found a really interesting series of podcasts about all aspects of writing. The initial podcast describes things an author can do wrong with guns in fiction.

One of the most interesting excerpts from the "Guns and Fiction" podcast explains the mistake an author makes when their character's endure tons of gun fights yet have no damage to their hearing.
