Is it "rule of cool" (crawling around on the floor clutching your ears...isn't), or just that Hollywood scriptwriters haven't shot a gun in their lives?

Yes.

Plot armor protects their ears and eyes. If it's not convenient to the plot it won't be included.

Guns are plot items. Every gun rule is thrown out the window if it interferes with the plot. Same can be said about cars and the human body.

There was one episode of Criminal Minds I distinctly remember because it touched on this issue. One of them had an assault rifle in an SUV and another character basically says something along the lines of don't fire that weapon in here. Only time I've ever seen a TV show anknowledge the issue of firing a weapon inside a car.

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.
