Question

At least once per episode in the old Superman TV shows, Superman would grab the barrel of a gun being pointed at him by a bad guy and bend it. The distraught bad guy was left holding a gun with a bent barrel. Even assuming Superman is really super strong, what is wrong with the physics in this scene?
   (By the way, Hollywood has not progressed much on the physics accuracy front. The first Spiderman movie, for just one example, was wrought with such inconsistencies. Gravity, while lauded for its visuals, had a lot of bad basic physics. The transgressions of the Harry Potter movies may be forgiven, as magic is allowed to ignore physics.)
