Not many got shot.
Have you ever fired a 44/45 cal handgun?
I owned a Ruger Blackhawk , a 44 magnum revolver , only ever used for yippee shooting because...
1. it was a heavy bastard of a thing to hold and sight..
2. because of 1 , it was not very accurate
3. the ammunition cost a fair bit
4. because of 3 , I would reload but the cases would only reload once before splitting.
5. after your first shot it took 30seconds to re establish yourself from the recoil so rapid fire was basically impossible
6. the handgrip was really too big for one handed firing which made 5 all the worse.
7. you could not "slap leather" , as the revolver would end up on the ground
8. the weight of the thing in its heavy leather holster threatened to drag your trousers down.
9. if you wanted to carry extra ammo , you needed a shoulder bag.
10. I bought it in association with a 44 carbine rifle which I shot buffalo with , which also wasn't much good over more than 150mtrs as the ballistics of the big fat slug wanted it very quickly to fall to ground. You could see the slug moving through the air. I hot loaded for the carbine to improve its ballistics hence the cases splitting , which also compounded the problems shooting the revolver.
I onsold both to a gullible cowboy in 1977 who assured me it was exactly what he'd been looking for.
It doesn't have to be a revoler Dennis.

Not a Marley fan at the best of times, Ray.
Nor me, especially when you sit through Xmas Dinner & beyond with his mournful renditions of Xmas Carols.Quote:

No idea why we've not been asked back there since.:rocket::wallbash:
Oh yes I do.:Rolling:
S'funny when I saw the posts re Marley Fan it immediately reminded me of a cooling Fan on a Marley Water Cooling Tower used by Fridgies for Air Conditioning.
Not even sure they are still made here today.
Edit. Seems they are still.

No, he would have plugged the baddie in the nuts with a gun concealed in said Gay Bag while supposedly reaching for the Dum Dums.
