After Mr. Smith terminates the plethora of skydiving shooters, they all end up in an area the size of a basketball court, despite having markedly dissimilar velocities and trajectories created by the order in which they were shot. See more...

Entry Smith is attacked by several henchmen in his warehouse apartment. He grabs the baby and jumps on the rollers of a conveyor, sliding across the room and shooting two of the bad guys in front of him while a third runs up behind the conveyor. When Smith gets to the end of the rollers he stops himself, hangs down over the end of the rollers, and shoots the man at the far end of the conveyor in the chest. If you work out the math on the angle he is firing from and the length of the conveyor, it is an impossible shot. The man would have to be at least 27 feet behind the conveyor for the bullet to clear the rollers and hit him in the chest; in reality he was standing much closer. [This falls into the category of willing suspension of disbelief. Most people wouldn't get killed by a carrot to the head, either. It's just one example of the over the top nature of the movie, and can't be considered a mistake since it was done on purpose.]
Entry When the guy jumps through the sunroof, the sunroof breaks into several large pieces. Sunroof glass is tempered and very strong. If the glass broke, it would shatter into small pieces, not large ones. [It never breaks into large pieces. When he shoots it, the bullet holes cause it to shatter in place. Then he falls through it and it breaks apart into the tiny pieces.]
Entry Smith joins Senator Rutledge on the aircraft, the plane takes off headed for Washington, and they go through the whole standoff routine. Yet, despite all the time elapsed, when Smith lands amid the scattered body parts, he's back in his old neighborhood. [It was all part of the plan to trap Smith. The plane wasn't actually going anywhere, just circling.]
Entry In the very beginning we see Mr. Smith eating a carrot. He bites the pointed end and eats it. Later he kills the bad guy by sticking the carrot in his mouth and punching it through the back of his head. The carrot, as it's sticking out the bad guy's head, now has no signs of being bitten at all and has its original point on it. [Smith has more than one carrot on his person. He had a carrot two thirds gone that he was dipping in his soup/coffee when he was sitting on the bench watching the woman run by, then he had another carrot that he bit the end off of. He obviously had another carrot which he used to kill the henchman.]
