Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The only thing wrong with this scientifically precise test is that it should be conducted with beer cans...... "Here, hold my beer"..... LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 You have just scientifically proved that "Bigger IS better". Yup, but can you imagine totin' a Walker as your concealed carry piece? Also proved that a .31 is probably not the best choice of weapon if you're in a gunfight! Although I still wouldn't want to play "catch the bullet" with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yup, but can you imagine totin' a Walker as your concealed carry piece? Yeah, but note the dropped lever after one shot. However, if you didn't scare the perp with the size of the gun, I suppose you could club the s**t out him!

Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I alwuz like the scenes in the Mexican Revolution movies where they line up some prisoners and see how many the pistol bullet will go thru,.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was depending on a Walker for self-defense I would remove the loading lever after loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trigger Mike Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 great video, now we know to be sure to not hit the coke bottle in the criminals hand or it might stop the bullet. I always wondered about how the pocket pistol would impact and know I know. Wish you'd done an 1860 army in 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered about how the pocket pistol would impact and know I know. Wish you'd done an 1860 army in 44. Next on my list of things to do. Actually, even though the .31 didn't look all that impressive, I'm thinkin' it would still smart a bit. I have shot mine through at an hold sheet iron barn door, it went through the sheet iron and a 1X6 behind the sheet iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 How far does a cap and ball revolver penetrate? I reckon that depends on whats being hit and who is swinging it. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't break the skin, but damn, that smarts. I think a .31 would certainly get someone's attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Shows that the .31 has enough to got through a wool coat, a vest, and into the heart. How much more than that do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Joe, you're probably right, as long as the bullet slipped 'twixt a couple of ribs. Not sure it would go through the coat, vest and a rib. But now ya got me to thinking. My daughter-in-law lost three cows last year to lightning. Plenty of bones layin' around to do some testing with. I know old dry bone and living bone are not the same, but who cares? I'm just doin' this for fun anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then after you shoot it, just trim off around the hole and cook 'em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
