An exception to this is the movie Cop Land. It comes into play as part of the plot though. Outside of this, I dont think I've seen another example.

It's the same for portraying the effects of being shot. I always shake my head a little when the hero is shot on the arm or leg, or anywhere really, and apart from a short "argh!!" and clutch of the wound....continue to fight on with full strength.

Honestly, because deafness is boring unless required by plot.

Mawp.

But really, it certainly isn't depicted very often unless they're going for that "gritty" feel, which often doesn't appeal to the broadest audience they're going for.

Warning: TVTropes link. Look for "Averted in."

You mean like going deaf? or getting spattered with powder and pieces of lead and brass?

Mainly the former, but the latter is also a concern.

If you shoot, you also know that recoil never is an issue, and these guys (gals) sometimes fire hundreds of rounds without the barrel doing its typical upswing due to recoil. AND...you see small women firing 12 gauge shotguns without recoil etc.
