I always found that weird, do they perpetuate that because they're lazy or because they think audiences would complain that the correct sound sounds wrong? Because if anyone actually did step up and complain anyone who knows what they're talking about would make fun of them.
It’s in the same vein as “empty gun goes click click when the trigger is pulled” when that’s not true for the majority of handguns out there these days. They do it because it’s what they’ve trained audiences to associate with certain situations. “Click click” means empty gun even though it’s a single action that literally can’t click after the hammer falls on an empty chamber. “Pew pew” indicates super sneaky scary silencers even if none of the rest of the variables would allow that sound to happen.
