    I liked how Mr. Lahey had that old Webley revolver as his sidearm while the boys had automatics. Showed how old school of a cop he used to be before the liquor got a hold of him.
  • The giant guns used by the Labors in Patlabor go hard af. Something about a revolver the size of a smart car is just amazing.
  • @madaxe606
    I'd completely forgotten about the mecha-sized revolver reload from Patlabor at 3:55. That was a neat touch by the creators, that reeked of government bureaucrats mandating an absurdly impractical system out of misplaced concerns. Nice find!

    As a kid, I remember my Uncle owning a Smith & Wesson Schofield " break top " revolver. He used to let me fire a couple of cylinders through it every now and then. What a time I had! Thanks Johnny for reminding me of a great childhood memory. šŸ‘šŸ‘

    There is a Modern Top Break revolver developed by Russia in the 1990s, itā€™s called the MP-412 REX which is chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special.
  • @freedcrypto
    When I was a kid, I had this revolver gun toy that you can insert some kind of gunpowder that will mimic a real-life gun noise when the trigger is pulled. The revolver was top break and for a good few years that I thought every revolvers were top break lol
  • @alexrosen4357
    Aww no "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" clip? In that film, Indy packs a Webley WG.
  • Another awesome video, Johnny. I remember seeing Charlie Prince (played by Ben Foster) using a S&W Schofield in the 3:10 to Yuma remake. It forever solidified the badassery of the top-break revolver, in my mind.
  • @padawanmage71
    I remember in ā€˜Indiana Jones and the Last Crusadeā€™, Indy takes out his gun and sees it has no bullets when it popped openā€¦then his dad remembered his Charlemagne šŸ˜‚
  • Had a break open revolver in Trigun as well. Vash's signature revolver does this exact same thing.
  • @Aviator-Chicken
    I would love to see a modern break action revolver. Of course it would be extremely difficult due to how strong the gases are with modern cartridges but still itā€™s just so cool lol
  • @leecrt967
    That...was an outstanding episode. Absolutely perfect execution. Choice of archival material, flow and sequence of same, editing, dialogue, everything. AAA job.
  • @mrspongejr4565
    Nice video but will you ever make a video on the M16 ? Its just so iconic it really deserves its own video
  • the S&W model 3 is one of my favorite guns because of that sick top break mechanism, its awesome to see a video including it!
  • @fridgemagnet3254
    Been watching for the longest time now and i just realized you never made a video on the arisaka or mosin
  • @j.peters1222
    Break action revolvers were really cool. Still see them occasionally.
  • The bee's wax and tallow mixture has more to do with reducing black powder fouling. A tight fitting bullet reduces the probability of a chain fire.
  • @chalion8399
    I would have added "Magnum Force" of the Dirty Harry franchise, showing David Soul using the .357 Magnum, in Honour of his passing.
