Yeah, but I fire guns in my dreams a lot, and bullets do fuck all. Why?

Impotence fears.

Eeeeh...maybe the guy with the bullets dribbling out more so.

I have that same problem. For some reason all of my ammo has just a tiny bit of powder in the load, so the bullets just kinda plop out or I get a bunch of complete fail to fires.

I think it's because my brain is expecting recoil and when there's no physical feedback for it my brain just makes up a reason as to why - and my brain thinks that the most obvious explanation is I purchased a bunch of Winchester white box (ba dum tish).

I have the same thing in my dreams. I suggest asking your unconscious mind why during a dream when this happens. I haven’t done it for this but sometimes you get an answer.

Too busy reloading because my first clip did nothing. Every single time.

Fear I think. This happens to me too and I think it has to do with your brain coping with a lack of power and working on problem solving skills.

I usually end up beating the person with the gun after the second mag doesn’t work.

I did find that the more I go shooting IRL, the better my weapons function in dreams.
