At least that’s a revolver he’s packing. He’ll be limited to six shots with that before reloading, and not some ridiculous number like nine or sixteen.

After all, if you cannot solve a non-military, non-combat problem with six shots or less, you are unlikely to solve it with more.

five if he's practicing safe gun handling and keeping the hammer on an empty cylinder.

But considering the fact that he has it stuffed in his ass crack, who are we kidding. Yeah...it's six.

That was important in 1873. It's 2024 and modern guns have extra safety features.

Old revolvers had the firing in on the hammer and could fire if they were dropped and landed on an uncooked hammer. For most of the past century, however, the firing pin has been separate from the hammer and that kind of drop-fire is impossible.

Guy's still a dumbass, but every time someone says something so outlandishly incorrect it just gives ammunition to right-wing nut jobs who love to point out how little the other side knows about firearms.

Was not aware that it had been fixed. Thanks for the clarification.
