I hear the one guy that carried the film reels to post production editing was a Democrat.

I've been watching the GRIT TV channel nonstop while I'm not working. Nearly 24/7 westerns.

It's funny NOW watching these shows I watched and loved as a kid.

I love how they just sort of thrust their arm outward in the direction of the bad guy and fire, striking the guy riding a horse dead from 100 yards away. Pretty amusing the amount of "pistol gun battles" that happen out in the desert.

The A Team has that beat by far plus they could never hit anything.

Since we ALL KNOW that if it’s in a Movie, on the Internet or on TV it MUST be TRUE, and assuming that your count is correct: I would think that rather than a 6-round revolver, loaded with live rounds (not safe), that the production company used a standard “sound projector device”. These look like a revolver but have a cylinder drilled with many concentric rows of fake chambers, up to a hundred. Each chamber holds one very small, about 0.125 caliber, brass blank filled with priming composition and talc powder. These are used to produce sound and “smoke”. A firing pin mounted to the hammer moves vertically aligning with the concentric circles of chambers. A lever in the butt allows single or double action. The barrel bore is smooth and about 0.25 inch in diameter. The distance from the face of the cylinder to the barrel is generous, acting to prevent pressure build-up, being required when Actors and other set people were found sticking the muzzle into mud and “shooting” others in jest.

Off the top of my head, I can't remember any Clint firearm faux pas but I'm sure there are some.

That's the difference between him and an antigun libtard like Stephen King.

I could put this one in the pet peeves thread too.
