When it comes to an analysis of some of the world’s most powerful handguns, it’s hard not to think of Dirty Harry.
The grizzled character uttered one of the most iconic linesever by a gun-wielding movie character. After
cornering an uncooperative criminal, he pointed his huge revolver at
the perpetrator and said, “I know what you are thinking. Did he fire six
shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all of this
excitement, I’ve kind of lost track myself. But, being that this is a .44 Magnum,
the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean
off, you got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya
punk?”

I have counted the gunshots and only come up with 5. But Harry re-cocks the gun and it hits on a dead cylinder. Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteI don't know as I haven't counted before but remember seeing the movie in San Francisco after evacuation from Saigon.
