Bet the good guy used a 9mm and blew the lungs out of the bad man.
A black powder revolver under the water in a bathtub?!
I think that one can seal the chamber openings with animal fat or Crisco. I think one can seal around the primer nipples with candle wax. I have heard of people hunting in the rain during Primitive Weapons Season with a plastic baggie over their rifle muzzle with a rubber band.
I guess this works in real life too.
“When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk!”
Or shot him in the knee.
Based on the earlier scene (where he struggles into town after being abandoned in the desert by “Blondie” (Clint Eastwood)), the custom revolver Tuco builds from various components in the general store was a .44 Navy with a conversion cylinder so it could fire cartridges. E voila! problem solved.
Of course, it was really a “movie gun.” You know, the ones that never run out of ammunition, can fire underwater without exploding, etc.
That makes more sense, thanks!
It’s a good idea to “grease” the cylinder to prevent an errant spark exiting the forcing cone from setting off a charge in a different...read “out of battery”...cylinder chamber.
True. I think the drooling old Coot-In-Chief advised something like that once. Maybe it was the shin.
Good shooting.👍
Yup the idiot with the shotgun should’ve listened to Tuco.😈
But he didn’t talk...he just shoot.
:)
He was.
Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef were the ultimate hat trick.
Perfect casting.
I have lost count of how many times I’ve seen that movie.
Every time it comes on I watch it again.
Also have all of Morricone’s music on iPods.
/bit of a fan, yes
;)
Yes, I know about that. Thanks.
You ever carry a BP pistol in the rain?
No. I knew a guy that hunted black powder season in Oregon, but I doubt he went out in the rain. I once called him and asked if he was going hunting. He said “It’s raining.” And? This is on the Oregon coast. Further inquiry got him to say “I’ve never seen a deer out in the rain.” Unbelievable.
