Yes, this has always bothered me as well. Actors are perpetually discarding their guns when the bullets are gone. Like they might not need the gun in the future?
Of course, guns do seem to turn up just about everywhere in horror films.

Perhaps the gun that hits Dracula has a bit of silver in it? This might explain somewhat.


Police Squad did a parody of this. When Lt. Drevin ran out of bullets, he threw his gun. His opponent did the same. Then they continued tossing guns from piles that appeared behind them.
