OT - Worlds fastest gunslinger

[headquarters]

the legendary Bob Munden is awesome.

He is not using a firearm capable of firing live rounds in this demo though - probably an aluminium barreled powder residue shooter.

He has however competed in the semi automatic class in one of your big shooting contests over there , and did pretty darn well - although he didnt win. ( He was using a Colt 1873 variety single action revolver at the time).

I wager he is a great pistol shot.

Speaking of gun fights with 1873 Colts - the film with Edward Norton ( Down in the Valley) - check it out for a good example of fire superiority in a gun fight. Norton uses his 2 1873s to pin down his adversaries in a building lot).

All in all I loved the movie - I would say that its one of teh best westerns of the decade.

But thats neither here nor there - the 1873 is a good choice for a T2K weapon. It is fairly easily carried,its sturdy, you can load your own both black powder and smokeless/nitrate without too stringetnt tolerances. Its not as efective as an M4 in a firefight, but then again, you probably cant fix an m4 with metal pieces filed to fit from your kitchen. Not to mention the iconic look of it.

I had no idea how big the sport of quickdraw is overthere. Certainly big enough that there will be some nasty npcs lounging around the dark corners of hiring hall, waiting for a PC to get a little to loadmouthed. ( Yeah - you got pistol skill :10. But the other guy comes first...

all in my humble opinion of course
