Answer a question and then ask a question

[Sir Henry]

Darn! I always get Sharps and Spencers mixed up. My bad. Maybe if I bought one of each it would help.

You mean you don't already have one of each?

[North Country Gal]

Well, I would get one of those big Sharps if I could get Quigley to hold it for me.

You're sposed to ask us a question, aren't you?

Wait- I have a question. Where did Quigley get the ammunition for his rifle?

[North Country Gal]

I know he hand loaded it and cast his own bullets. Also something about using bullets from a British rifle or something.

Yup. Near the beginning of the movie, he explains that he loads his own ammo.

In "The Quick and the Dead," how many bullets did Herod (Gene Hackman) give Cort (Russel Crowe) before each gun fight?

No one answered Sir Henry's question about bayonets.
Nor mine about Ramone's rifle in A Fist full of dollars ??

[North Country Gal]

Easy. One. Another great movie. I think Sharon Stone did a great job. Not usually a big fan of hers and an unlikely western actor, but she pulled it off.

Okay. Who was Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci?

Pretty sure it was a Winchester 92.

[North Country Gal]

Okay, since I'm a big 1911 fan, in what movie did Bruce Willis use two 1911s to clean up a town of bad guys?

[North Country Gal]

Okay, jumping ahead a bit, but another 1911 question. What movie spawned and action shooting sport that uses 1911s as the pistol?

The Wild Bunch.

From Les' question above....


Canadian as opposed to British would be obvious, in my mind.


What is the different between .22lr and .22 Magnum rounds

You can't find .22WMR in the stores.

The LR is much older. I think the WMR came right after WWII. The WMR has about twice the speed of LR. The LR bullet is .223 while WMR is .224.

Question: What did most WWII veterans call a firearm magazine?

A clip
What rifle did Jose Wales use to shoot the rope on the fairy boat
" Well Mr. Carpet bagger around here we have whats called a Missouri boat ride !!"

1863 Sharps Carbine

The M1918?

Caliber .30-06. Standard capacity magazine is a 20 rounder.

Where did Henry Repeating Arms make their rifles before they were in Bayonne, New Jersey?

[North Country Gal]

Brooklyn. Still have a couple questions that never got an answer, so someone else's turn.

Our apologies, from earlier,

Okay. Who was Sunkmanitu Tanka Ob Waci?

Kevin Costner's character from Dances with Wolves, which I never saw

[Les]

The answer to my question is that the FN FAL is select fire and the SLR was semi auto only (apart from the L2A1/Canadian C2 which were capable of full auto).

Thanks, I didn't know that.

My question was so obscure very few would know the answer.
