This movie, RUST, was to be a western. As a kid, I’ve seen many westerns where shooters fanned the gun. Many characters were shot. No triggers pulled. Hammer release. Gun goes “BANG”. Cinematographer dies. Monkey butt at fault. Goes to jail.
Incorrect. To “fan fire” a single-action revolver, the trigger must also be depressed. Otherwise, the hammer will fall on the half-cock sear and will not fire.
