Vince Gilligan revealed that the iconic breaking bad machine gun scene was not planned and called it one of his "dumbest" ideas.

Breaking Bad is an iconic series in every way. The show has some of the most critically acclaimed episodes, and every detail of the show is put there on purpose. There are several reasons why the series is so highly rated, ranging from the impeccable performances to an excellently written story and a premise that has its audience hooked.

While every action on the show ended up paying off in one way or another, it seems that not all of them were planned. During an interview, Vince Gilligan, the creator of the series, revealed that a storyline was not thought through when they introduced it in the final season.

Vince Gilligan once gave an interview to Variety, where he talked about many of his ongoing projects and his most iconic work of all time, Breaking Bad. Speaking of the latter, he revealed key details from the final season and one of the most iconic foreshadowings of all time with a single machine gun. It seems the firearm ended up giving the creators of the show a lot of trouble for a reason.
