***A semi-auto is NOT a revolver.***

I beg to differ with you. The British built one on a Webley-Fosbery frame. You can see Sean Connery use it in ZARDOZ.

Also, around 1970, some publishers released a Zane Grey novel, NEVADA. The cover art showed a cowboy pulling and firing to his left, two Colt Navy revolvers. You know he was firing fast as the air was full of ejecting cases. ;-D

Have you ever “seen” a semi-auto revolver?

NO, I did not think so.

That's the explaination!

The crazed gunman, Nakwon Foxworth, used the common, easily obtained, Webley-Fosbery, 9mm semi-automatic revolver, popular with criminals and gang-bangers, to unleash a hellstorm of 12 rounds of the deadly cop-killer hollowpoint bullets.

Think I can get a job at the NY Post?

The Maltese Falcon, too:

Bogart: Thanks, Tom. What happened?

Ward Bond: Got him right through the pump with this.

Bogart: It's a Webley.

Ward Bond: English, ain't it?

Bogart: A Webley-Fosbery .45 automatic, 8-shot. They don't make 'em anymore.
