Character feels an unconscious person's wrist for about two seconds, then solumnly announces "He's dead ". Then everyone leaves them lying there without even attempting to help.
Pulses can be really hard to find there even in someone who may be perfectly fine. In order to really say someone is dead, you have to check for a pulse for longer than 15 seconds in three different places. Even then, the medics still have to do CPR.
Also, stabbing someone in the heart with a needle to give them adrenaline is complete fiction. It is true that they give adrenaline, but never by putting a hole in their heart.

Thought there must have been something off about the giant needle to the heart. I really had no way of knowing differently though. I guess they want to emphasize the "ick" factor there.

I never even noticed that, even though I knew what checking for a pulse really looks like. I think the actors just do it with such confidence that I believe them immediately. As if I'm thinking, 'Gosh, he's much better at that than me!'

Also, stabbing someone in the heart with a needle to give them adrenaline is complete fiction. It is true that they give adrenaline, but never by putting a hole in their heart. Not to mention the insane doses they give. I'm pretty sure if they gave someone that much saline solution, said person would be over-hydrated to death, yet alone something like adrenaline or some of the antidotes for things like mustard gas or sarin nerve gas. Regarding the gun tilt... story of me and a friend being complete assholes to someone who had it coming. He had brought out his hunting pistol, a single action revolver chambered for .454 Casull, so we could get it sighted in and just have some fun plinking around with lighter loads. While we're shooting a "gangsta" shows up and is being a complete ass, talking shit, distracting us and other shooters, etc. Anyways, after a half hour of his bullshit, my friend decides to pull a little prank. He loads his gun with four "Cowboy Action" .45 Colt rounds, loaded just enough to get the bullets down range, and one round he nicknamed a "dragon slayer": 300 grain lead hardcast bullet with the casing loaded to the absolute limits of safety. It's the kind of load reserved for taking down something like a rhino or cape buffalo. Massive muzzleblast with the accompanying recoil. After he dialed the cylinder so the heavy load was the last one to be fired, he hands the gun off to Mr. Homie who proceeds to hold the gun sideways and crank off the rounds at the target. *pow* *pow* *pow* *pow* Fo' realz, this ain't NUTHIN' yo! *crack-BOOM* When he touched off that last one, the gun recoiled hard enough to smack him in the nose, bloodying it up, and putting him on his ass. Natrually he was pissed, but wound up leaving without further incident. And before I get jumped on for pulling a prank like that, I realize it was dangerous, immature... and freaking HILARIOUS.

*Claude Rains "Casablanca" voice* Tsk Tsk Tsk That was not very nice. But probably justified.

Garrus is a Pushover.
He'll agree to anything you say.

Yet another gun-related one. Someone getting into an armory that contains varous long arms such as shotguns, rifles, and SMGs... but picks a pistol to deal with an unknown threat.

My beef with the pistol over rifle bit is a handgun is a very poor manstopper (but on film a 9mm or even a 7.65 Browning will insta-kill badguys and even knock them flying). It's also harder to shoot a pistol with speed and accuracy when compared to a carbine. So why not go with the gun that has better terminal performance and is easier to make hits with?
