[DL] Speed Loaders ... an Example

[Marshal Brock <marshal_brock@canada.com>]

A while back someone on list was asking about speedloaders and how they worked, how popular they were, etc etc. 

As we know in "real" history speedloaders in 1877 were VERY rare. But DeadLands isn't "real" history it's a game, and therefore speedloaders are common everyday items more or less.

But .... the original question was posted by someone not familar with guns, nor how a speedloader worked. And looking at modern day examples or books, or words on a computer screen just don't help that much.

So .... go rent Pale Rider with Clint Eastwood. This is a fine example of a DeadLands movie in the first place. Is the preacher with no name a miracle from God? Or just a guy passing through at the right time?  

Anyhow ....
Near the end, when Clint is in the street taking care of business and bad guys, he reloads his pistol using a speedloader. In fact he does it twice in a few minutes. It's VERY clear, a nice close up and will help anyone get the concept.
