There is actual gunlore behind that too. Revolvers have a property called 'timing' which basically encapsulates the action of the mechanisms that rotate the cylinder, then lock it, then allow the hammer to rise and fall.

One of the most renowned Big Pistols, the colt python



has absolutely garbage timing specs, meaning that everything in the pistol has to be in impeccable, clean shape in order to cycle and fire properly. You can get a used Python for like 300 bucks and you will spend 800 bucks at a gunsmith having them fix the revolver such that it actually Works and is reliable.

it's incredible, because what you used to get were dvd "re-releases" that were straight up VHS transfers from some 20-year old rental tape someone found in a wet basement

being able to really see the incredibly low cost effects, costumes, and sets makes it so much better

luckily some movies were so poorly archived the streaming copy is straight from vhs complete with tracking errors
thats always a fun treat

<will not gunchat derail past this>

everybody thinks that revolvers are 'the reliable gun' but they're actually garbage for that. if you want a reliable pistol you get a browning hi-power or a beretta 92. 1911's require revolver-tier gunsmith work to run right because they were designed by an insane mormon in 1910. You want a weapon that fires when you want, you buy a mil pistol.

I have a beretta 92a1 as god intended

still on episode 7, when did Dolores’ motivation change from making a place for the hosts she rescued from Delos to helping humans free themselves from their AI overlord? she just says it like we’ve known it the whole time

e: god Maeve loving sucks poo poo this season. what a dunce. what a mark. I hope Dolores rips her loving head off

also lol Ed Harris’s character with the wildly stupid decision

e2: god this poo poo is just so insanely lazily written, it’s still getting worse halfway through the finale. Marshawn Lynch loving owns though, and Evan Rachel Wood is a smokeshow despite her changing hair length


lol they gave Dolores the Samwise Gamgee speech

expanse is crushing it with two left for the season. i think the only other drama in the past 10 years to grab me, and also stay good is Mr Robot. everything else has been self indulgent bullshit like westworld.
