I'll be impressed as all heck if it turns out a revolver was the weapon.
It must have been a John Wayne special that didn't need reloading.
26 shots? Dang, he's REALLY dead now.
Years ago, I was a juror in a second-degree murder trial. The shooting took place in a crack house, with the accused and the victim each being shot at least eight times.
Both men were using small, 5-shot .38 revolvers - and according to the evidence gathered, they'd each emptied their respective handguns twice and were attempting yet another reload when the victim finally keeled-over.
Pictures of the scene showed live cartridges and empty brass all over the floor; the cylinder of the victim's revolver was open, too.
The guy on trial survived to face trial (I wonder how he's enjoying that life sentence at Angola?...) by sheer luck.
Back in the early seventies right after I got discharged from the Navy I went to work for the city of Nashville in the streets and roads department. We assembled in the garage every morning and one day bright and early a guy walks in and asks for so-and-so. Someone pointed him out and the guy walks over and pulls out a nine-shot .22 revlover and empties the whole cylinder into the guy. He then calmly re-loads and SHOOTS HIM AGAIN. Turns out the guy that got shot ran of with the shooters old lady. Bad move I'd say. Anyway, the guy survived as they were only shorts but what a mess!
