I find it hard to believe that I've never seen a shot like this in a movie.
(It only applies to advertising material not the movies themselves.)

Hmm. Well, in general I would say that pointing a firearm at anyone is poor advertising. (Though the effect loses something if done with a bow.) No one wants to be shot at. Look at "Join the Army of One" ads--severely downplay the "people shoot at you" aspect of military service.

Aside from that the MPAA 1. Sucks. 2. Is probably right, on at least a few levels in this case. I do not see how this is really an issue. I guess making the general public feel threatened is a key component of the atmosphere they're building for the project?
