>we need a gun for our cowboy movie>eh, fuck it, this is close enough
looks like a gun to me
>>214777141Yeah, '76s and '66s are painfully rare in classic westerns because '92s are stronger and were still being made.
>>214777141maybe the movie is set after 92 THOUGH?
>>214777191Probably not. The west was settled, tamed, bureaucratized, sanitized, and legalized by '91. That's when the Injun wars are considered over and the old west is done.
>>214777221actually this has been debunked
>>214777170>>2147771911892 would be really late in setting and is usually only appropriate for films like lonesome dove (which isn't even the 1890s, it's the 1880s) where the old west has been tamed
>>214777227DEBOOONKED
Say what you want, but John Wayne never shot anybody in the back.
>cowboy movie>hero has a 2011 with a red dot
>>214777227the last major injin victory was in like 1876wounded knee was 1890 and sitting bull died in 1890. the injins were pretty much all on the reservations by 1892
>>214777227Its been rebunked chud
>>214777457don't call me chud, chud
>>214777191what is this meme? is this from a tiktok or something? someone yelling "though"?
>>214777493Its /qa/ tranny refugee meme they've desperately tried to force for years. Just like all their other shitty forced memes. Just report it for the low quality off topic spam it is.
>>214777493it's from the /qa/ website. either zoomers or esls end sentences with >though and it makes some posters angry as fuck so people keep writing though or thoughbeit or variants
>>214777141>we need a gun for our cowboy movie>>eh, fuck it, this is close enoughGun nerd trivia. If John Wayne didn't give a fuck, neither should you.
>>214777650>no it's fine when a character has a object that wouldn't be invented yet
>>214777291>2011
>>214777718it's a movie
>>214777718Henrys and Spencers were used in the Civil War, sure the cowboy guns in film were often specifically more modern leverguns like the mid 90s models that became popular, but people don't really care that much about such accuracy; why majority of WW2 films German tanks are usually Cromwells or some shit like that.Now if lever action repeating firearms didn't exist at all during cowboy times you'd have something to bitch about. But they did and were common enough to be plausible for a film.
>>2147778552011s are double stack 1911s
>>214778039And no one is watching westerns because they're hankering for historical verisimilitude. It really is hard to explain to the average layman with a mental image of the wild west informed by pop culture just how much of a fantasy a lot of that shit was. Like go read what actually happened at the OK Corral, the most epic gunfight in the west, and its a couple of guys blasting a couple of eyes down an alley where they were just a couple feet from each other.
>>214778039>gun comes out in 1892>they use it in scene from 1869
>>214777141>we need a gun for our cowboy movieBro I got this
They could have given him a Springfield Trapdoor, but I guess those are cavalry/injun coded. The costume looks decent at least.
You should watch The Comancheros. Very accurate in regard to firearms.
>>214778134I sure hope some got fired for that.
>>214777221>>214777246Westerns don’t have to be set in the uttermost wildest, ungoverned period of the American west. Big Jake is set in like the 1910s and has a guy riding a motorcycle in it and it’s considered one of John Wayne’s best westerns.
>>214777855>he doesn't knowlmao fucking dunning-kruger caught live
>>214778175kek what movie?>>214778186yeah that doesn't make sense, injins would have been given henry rifles and muzzle loaders
>>214778208>Note: Excluding the flintlock pistols and the blunderbuss, all the weapons used in the film are anachronistic, as the film takes place during 1843.kek
>>214778335Not a movie. Tiffany and Co. really did make a twin-barrel Model 1911. It's a real firing gun for those who want to say "fuck you" in just the right way and can afford Tiffany.
>>214778039Also remember that making westerns were CHEAP because you just packed up the cast and drove to the studio lot in the desert 50 miles from LA. They weren't trying to be historical documents, they were treated as the slop audiences would happily sit through while they blew the big money on elaborate musicals.
>>214778387There is a tiffany and co winchester at the met in nyc https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/788199
>>214778387Listen if you want dual 1911's you do what every badass has done since 1912.
>>214777141God I want a big iron so badly.
>>214778461With the Tiffany you can dual-wield with just one hand.
>>214778335Older models chambered in .58 rimfire and .50-70 were surplused to the civilian market and even given to some of the friendly tribes. Indians would also take weapons from the soldiers they killed.
>>214778491>six minute abs N-No!
>>214778484>have to load each cylinder>and then you have to remember to put a percussive cap on each "nipple"Seems cumbersome.
>>214778461I like the part when the hotel clerk blasts the guy with a Colt Walker.
>>214778531
>>214778531Just upgrade and get an 1875.
>We need a gun for a modern cowboy.>I've got two options for you.
>>214778555>loading the gun wrongthat's so fucking retarded kek. what a shitty movie
>>214778409yeah I think if you look it up they were like horror movies in that they were generally low budget and made enough to be profitable but weren't blockbusters
>>214778484so buy one or a repro
>>214778335No problem. Just remove the forehead on that 1892 and glue a peice of flint onto the hammer of the trapdoor.
>>214778555>using an undersized ballBad move. Ball should be slightly oversized to form a good seal with the chamber.Also:>not using the original LeMat buttplug bullet
>>214778614>fake winchesterwhere's the gay safety?
>>214778691Nah, quick and the dead is a rami/10 western. >dolly shot through the hole that just got blasted through a dood One of russel crowe's early hollywood role (earliest? i think this wasn't long after romper stomper). And Hackman plays the most hackman role ever with an even more slimy Little Bill from unforgiven. You also get to see sharon stone's butt, that's always cool.
Was Ward Bond coked out of his mind in this scene? He's "shooting" like an absolute retard it always pisses me off
>>214777884I mean the thread is kind of just an excuse for people to post cowboy movies
>>214778321I love John Wayne but Big Jake is fucking trash
>>214778861>I'm cinematographyinglollmao
>>214778555all that effort wasted by a bargain bin fake beard
>>214778861
>>214778134Nobody cares because they are still lever actions which are plausible at the time. This is like bitching about John Boorman's Excalibur for having 14th century plate armor for the dark ages; yeah it's technically not accurate but it enhances the story and visuals which is the point of a TV and film.
>>214777141I never noticed this for years but now I cant help but see it and it's like seeing the nazis carrying glocks in a ww2 movie. ruined.
