“Sorry, but the misnomer that a revolver never fails killed a number of FBI agents in the Miami shootout.”
It did nothing of the sort. No revolver there failed. Both bad guys were stopped by revolver fire. Matix was taken out early in the fight by 2 revolver rounds. At the end of the fight Platt and Matix both were given a full revolver load by Mireles that ended the fight.
The revolver and shotgun there were the only things that saved the day.
And the 1970 Newhall CA truckstop incident/massacre where two scumbags just released from prison killed 4 Highway patrolmen armed with revolvers.
Officer Pence had just finished re-loading when one of them came from behind executed him.
