Hollywood loves the "...shock and awe value of clicking a pump gun...", as well. And exploits it at every opportunity. It does so the extent where, as the miscreant aggressor makes each additional incremental, menacing step forward, the armed defender just works the clashing slide yet again! In movie-land, if it the sound makes for a stand-alone mini-dramatic moment, why limit the sound of chambering yet another round to just once?
When my father was first issued a permit to carry a firearm for defensive purposes, at the conclusion of the interview, he asked the issuing officer how best to stop an aggressor. In a life-threatening situation, should he (mercifully) fire at a shoulder or limb, so as to avoid any loss of life? The police officer quickly stopped that train of thought and just said...."between the eyes".
