Concur. Seemed a little odd. Not exactly the kind of revolver I'd expect to see when it's likely the script just spec'd "an old looking revolver".

Though I think the film industry likes the break action of the Webley as it makes for more interesting shots of loading/unloading/verifying load status (I think they think most people think the spent cartridge is expelled and thus believe that when you open it and see brass, it's ready to shoot).

: Did anyone else here catch the X-Files last night? I think the gun Frank Black used to shoot those zombies was a Webley.

: Can anyone verify this?

I caught that too - yes, the breaking action makes for a good screen shot(nm) Patterson 16:17:55 11/29/99 (0)
