Reloading in the Movies

[4xforfun]

Didn't Charles Bronson do some reloading in one or more of his "Death Wish" movies?

Werewolf movies have the silver bullet reloading scenes.

Can't remember the name of the movie, but in it Brian Keith is shown loading ammo, and showing Steve McQueen how to fast draw and shoot, as McQueen is after the men that murdering his parents. Pretty decent western.

Just watched the 2017 movie Wind River (set in Wyoming in modern times) and was surprised to see the reloading scene. In it, a Wyoming Fish & Game officer, played by Jeremy Renner, is seen chamfering a case,

He absolutely murdered that case with his chamfer tool!

I thought that movie was doo-doo

Speed loader, they so fast you missed it.

 

[steve123]

Or slide is locked back but they are ready to fire, lol.

 

[Monte F]

Or they keep racking the slide on pistol or shotgun and no rounds/hulls eject.

"Speed loader, they so fast you missed it."

On a Colt SAA! Absolutely amazing. In the 50's, while sitting in the Saturday Western Matinees, my buddy and I had a game of counting the rounds fired from Winchester lever guns and SAA's without a reload. On a few rare occasions those lever guns rivaled or local PD's Thompson with a 50 round drum.

Can you imagine the uproar that would happen now if a bunch of Cub scouts visited the local PD and the officers passed the Thompson around for the Scouts to examine it, or a group of boy scouts went to the Charleston WV PD indoor range in the basement of the Municipal Auditorium and shot service revolvers at B27 silhouette targets, no PC pastel pear targets in those days. By the way, CPD had a reloading and bullet casting set up at the range.

Life in a time frame when most people hunted, you could buy firearms at the corner hardware, Monkey Wards, Sears or mail order without background checks and we didn't have mass shootings. I guess it worked to enforce the law, administer the death penalty when necessary, limit immigration and have fellows like Bill Jordan and Charles Askins patrolling the border.

^^^^ And if we went back to public execution bad guys might not be so bad.
Now back to the movies!

Death Wish #2

 

[rebel]

Didn't he load an over pressure round that blew up in the bad guys face?

I tried to watch the series, but have read all the books. The movie, Shooter, digressed so far from the book - Point of Impact - but still was OK. The series digressed from the movie.......
The book character, Bob Lee Swagger, is the ultimate scorned, vietnam vet, operator badass gun nut. In the original book, Lon Scott gets his head blown off in his hide from a 30 cal bullet 1000 yards out.
