Revolver bullets have no shell casings...????

Post by JJVP »

Some strange revolvers they have in Wisconsin. Wonder where I could get one of those. :smilelol5:

Yep, that's right. I just looked at my Mod. 29 and sure enough, it doesn't have a single one in it.

In all fairness, if my employer asked me to write an article on rocket surgery I would probably make a similar mistake.

That is one reason that real publishers use fact checkers and editors.

Mine neither, but this kind of foolishness makes me want to load it up and shoot the TV or something. Unbelievable!

I thought the mircostamp would be on the bullet, not on the case. Casing or no casing, the bullet would be micro stamped. There are casesless rds from HK but never went into production.

That's my problem with revolvers. I'm fascinated with how I miss the target so badly with each round, and I forget to count.... :mrgreen:

Homeland Security Newswire publishes all kinds of silly articles regarding firearms. They frequently push the "90% of firearms in Mexico are from the US" myth. Not sure who writes most of their articles, but they usually don't know what they are talking about.

That may be at the end, but in the beginning when he catches the bank robber and says the same thing to him he has already 6 shots because after the guy gives up he pulls the trigger ..... "click"

the gun is empty but from the time he starts shooting to the end of shooting, I'm pretty sure he only actually shoots four times !!

Are you talking about the end of the movie or the beginning? I don't remember the end, but I'm pretty sure in the beginning, when he catches the bank robber it just goes "click" after the guy doesn't feel lucky and decides not to take the chance. Doesn't he end up shooting the guy in the end?
