Famous weapons

I recently visited a museum with a rather excellent firearms collection, including a classic Hollywood section.
Captain Mal's "Moses Brothers Self-Defence Engine Frontier Model B"
A gun that can't hit anything!
Did I fire 6 shots or only 5?

The Duke's guns from Big Jake


The Duke's gear from True Grit




Tommy gun in classic violin case

And finally, the Gatling gun from War Wagon and The Outlaw Josie Wales!

  3. Lovely stuff. I still have a tendency, when playing Western games, to shout "fill your hands, you son of a bitch!" At my opponents.

  4. Outlaw Josey Wales is one of my favourite all time movies - good to see a few weapons featured from that fine movie : )

    1. Mine too. In fact just last weekend I sat down to enjoy it and introduce it to my son, followed by Dirty Harry!
