Oh that was a Winchester, Model 1892. It had the loop drilled and tapped with a screw through it so it would fire upon closing it into battary, or the screw could be backed out a little for single shot firing.

That was a favorite show of mine.

Oh, here's a question: What kind of revolver did Clint Eastwood use in the good, the bad and the ugly? (Sort of a trick question, if you watched the movie close!)

 

[for_his_glory]

wow Edward, amazing. You know your guns or did you look it up like I do, LOL

Clint used a Colt 1851 Navy .36 revolver that had been converted to fire metallic cartridges

 

[Edward]

Oh, I knew it. That was my favorite show for a long time and guns have been my hobby ever since I was about 8 years old.

He did use an 1851 Navy, but in some scenes it was percussion and others it was the conversion. It was supposed to be the percussion revolver but when he was in his room cleaning it, he loaded it with metallic cartridges (45 Colt in fact!). (I don't think the conversions were out yet back then)

They messed up other scenes also like when Tuco was in the bathtub and had his gun underwater and then shot the guy...that don't work like that with percussion types! Like the old saying goes...keep your powder dry.

You might be surprised what you see on television and what you see is not the way it really is.I took a vacation trip to Maui years ago with my family.We were walking in the town of Lahaina.They were shooting a television show.We watched for awhile behind the lines.It was interesting.After shooting a scene with Buddy Ebson he took off his shirt and this huge girdle type thing underneith.He was actually very heavy.You could not tell that by watching him doing the scene.

 

[TOG]

I was on TV a couple of months ago. It was on a show about Israel on a local Christian TV station (Gospel Channel). When the show was recorded, the host and I were sitting at a small table that was painted gray, with a green background. When it was shown on TV it we were sitting at a huge wooden table with glass on top that reflected what was on it and had gold letters on the front spelling the name of the show and a picture of Jerusalem in the background. I'll never believe anything I see on TV again.

How many different actors from Psych were also on The West Wing?

Ah yes, tis true...shattered me when i learned that (lol)

The older shows were cool because they usually had a parental message and lesson within. The Rifleman was good at this, I liked his boy on the show. The lessons were always realistic and not sugar coated like nowadays if there's even a lesson at all within the show.

Here's an easy trivia question that almost all of you should know:

What was James Bonds preferred pistol in the movies?

You know I like guns and own a couple but when I'm watching a movie I'm engrossed in the plot and don't pay attention to the specific make and model of the guns.

I've been such a gun nut for so long that I can't help but ID the guns on the way through the flick, and to critique the functioning and techniques and so forth. Like when the Riflemans coming on, it shows him rip off a tubeful of rounds real fast...I listened close many times and he fires 11 in the opening...and it only holds 10! Doh. Hollywood, lol

Love it how people with guns in flicks always cock it whenever the get ready to go in and get the bad guy or whatever, then when they catch up to him and cover him, they cock it again...then they have a little talk, and to get the info out of them late in the talk and want to emphasize the threat, they'll cock it again!

In some shows, you can hear them cock revolvers with the distinctive sound of an automatic being cocked, lol.

It was Walther P99 semi-automatic pistol. (I cheated and looked this up, since I figured nobody actually knows this kind of stuff.)

Here are a few easy ones.

How many strings are there on...

1. A mandolin
2. A ukulele
3. A 12 string guitar

hey waitaminute...I thought it was a Walther PPK? Is my memory playing tricks on me again, or did the later Bond movies give him the newer P99, or what?

(I think the answer to yours is 6, 6, 12)

 

[Edward]

Ah! it was the PPK for a lot of years and the latest pistol was in fact an ASP 9mm that he uses for his main gun. Thought I was losing my mind! lol

According to Wikipedia, it was a P99.

There are a few different types of ukulele, and some of them may have 6 strings, but that's not the most common one. You got the 12 string guitar right, but not the mandolin.

Further investigation reveals that an ASP is a P99. It is a 9mm, which explains why I know so little about it.
I have always been a big bore fan liking the 44's and 45's and not the 38's or 9mm's. The joke has always been, if I want a 38 or 357, I can just load light loads, lol (I handload my own ammunition also, and cast my own bullets from scrap lead and wheel weights). Another joke is, you can only do so much with a 38 caliber bullet, no matter how fast you push it. This is essentially true in that the effective 9mm loads (as far as self defense goes) are the hot loads, very high pressure loads. That's the good thing about big bore guns, medium loads (and medium to low pressure) are more effective than the hot loaded 38's, 357's, and 9mm's. Plus they're easier to shoot, less recoil, and give the gun a longer service life because they're being shot with medium loads instead of max loads.

So I've never been very interested in 9mm's. You are right brother, it was a P99 (which they call the ASP), but in the earlier bond flicks, his preferred pistol was a PPK, a 380 actually.

Wow, I guess I am an old-timer. This should have been so obvious, like a joke question. Bond's iconic pistol in the original movies (Connery, Moore): Walther PPK. It was imposed on him when his original Beretta supposedly jammed on him (note that the Fleming novels record a somewhat different pedigree). In the first few of the newer movies, he rolls with the P99 (chambered in 9mm). I believe in the most recent outings, Bond returns nostalgically to the PPK, most recently to the PPK/S (upgrading the caliber from .32 to .380).

Boy or boy does this sound like my house. Get the guys together and they can turn any conversation or Game into gun talk. :wink
