Talk:Desperado

I took some extra screenshots for the page. I'll have them on here tommorow.

How's the page look now, a little more complete?

It looks excellent, Great work.--Alienqueen11 21:16, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Suppressed revolvers...

There are actually suppressed and suppressable revolvers.

Three primary means:

1) Using a "gas check" design like the Nagant revolver that cams the cylinder forward to seal the breach between cylinder (actually, shell casing) and the barrel. (This would also require a muzzle mounted suppressor.)

See: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=vvF4yurWSc0

2) Using an expandable casing or "bladder" that contains the propellant gases. This would use a subsonic bullet.

3) Use an expandable casing that extends forward to cover the gap.

See: http://www.uzitalk.com/forums/attachment.php?postid=64397

The advantages of all these designs is the control of the casings (none left behind), the ability to use rounds of various power while having repeating fire, and the limitations on releasing gun residue.

Fine, some can be suppressed but the conventional revolvers used like S&W M15 and Colt Pythons aren't built to be suppressed, and don't do it well.

Ruger P90s

Am I the only one who thinks El Mariachi is firing off too many rounds from his Rugers before reloading?

To start, the Ruger P90 in .45 ACP is only sold with an 8-round magazine.

Now if you watch the "bar fight" scene in Desperado, it seems that while El Mariachi does reload, he fires off more then the combined 16 rounds those P90s should have.

Yeah, this movie isn't exactly know for its firearms accuracy. He reloads when it looks cool, not when he actually runs out of bullets. You'll note the weapons are not locked back in one scene and then are when he reloads in the next. And what, firing 6 shots from a 2 barreled shotgun isn't a little inaccurate as well? - Gunmaster45

Indeed it's not very accurate. I always thought he was using P89s, as they had much larger 15-round magazines. But yeah, like you said, he only reloads when it looks good.

Firing more shots then actually in the magazine is nothing - he also fires the Rugers several times after the slide locks back and the gun is "empty". But hey, movie magic, right? - Sentient6 20:29, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
