				<!-- videoId: explore/io9/videos/1944 --><!-- /videoId: explore/io9/videos/1944 --> Christian Bale is a master of gun-fu in 2002's <em>Equilibrium</em>. He practices the obscure art of Gun Kata &mdash; something apparently invented for this movie &mdash; which is sort of like karate crossed with a gunfight from an early Clint Eastwood flick. In this clip, Bale takes down a whole squad of cops who are trying to come between him and a cute puppy. Think we're kidding? In <em>Equilibrium</em>'s dark future, all emotions are illegal and Bale is an elite government agent sworn to destroy anything that provokes emotions, including puppies. But one puppy wins Bale's heart. Yes, it's as lame as it sounds. Still, Gun Kata makes up for the rest of the film. Check out the Gun Kata video  tutorial below the jump.				<a href="http://io9.com/327271/batman-%252B-guns--karate--gun-kata" title="Click here to read more about Batman + Guns / Karate = Gun Kata">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
