What was the gun Eastwood used on Pale Rider, the one that you don't insert the bullets but you change the complete cartridge ?
I actually had to go find a Pale Rider trailer online to be sure. It's a model 1858 Remington (the one on the bottom). He had to take the whole cylinder out because it's a cap and ball. If he didn't replace the cylinder, he'd have to take the time to fill every chamber with powder, put a lead ball on top, ram the ball down, and then put a cap on every nipple. It'd take a minute or 2, rather than the 10 seconds it take to replace the cylinder.
Oh, Ok......I might have to check that flick again too....
I noticed that, because in all the previous westerns, you only see the guns that you have to load the bullets one by one.....
What gun is Hellboy's "The Samaritan" modeled after?

Interesting I always thought he used a Dragoon.

In order to take the cylinder off, you would have to pull out the wedge pin and pull the barrel off. Basically what Tuko does when he pieces together a gun in the gun shop in "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly".
Here's a Dragoon.
Just like all Colt revolvers up until the 1873 SAA, it was an open top. The Remington, because the cylinder was totally incased by the frame, was a stronger design. That's why Colt used it in their Peacemaker.
Next question....... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
