Factual error: When the posse arrives at the mission, a horizontal jet stream can be seen during this scene. (01:00:00)
Factual error: In the end scene, a major shoot out occurs. A man is hit, and as he painfully dies (and rather slowly), he fires his revolver a few to several times with just the agonizing twitching of his trigger finger. He never cocks the gun, and in those days, they did not have double action revolvers.
Suggested correction: Yes, they did have double-action revolvers. Those date back to the Civil War.
Ok, perhaps I can stand corrected as to some existence of a double-action firearm going back to the Civil War. But it musta been damned experimental and rare, or everyone would have been using them. This thing appears to be a standard Colt model of the times. I should have worded it: 'That model he's firing is a single action.' - You see this a lot in movies. - I can't even count how many times I've seen Germans in war movies shooting bolt action Mausers rapid fire without working the damn bolt. -lol.
LOL Here ya go - we were, indeed, both correct! It would have been rare until well after the Civil War - but it is, at least theoretically, possible that the guy in this movie could have had something double action. https://search.brave.com/search?q=when+were+double+action+revolvers+invented&source=desktop&summary=1&summary_og=1e4f3a6036b02dbae2006f.
